if she tried out for the team, would she make the cut?

If you guys are looking for level background inspirations, why not have one of the secret levels look like the album cover from Iron Maiden's "Powerslave"?



This game has to get at least one Iron Maiden reference in there. Her own name is Ion Maiden after all....

Maybe call the level "Power Babe"?

[NNC]

One of my favourite Iron Maiden song is Paschendale from the Dance of the Death album. That is based on a WWI place in France, I can imagine it as a secret level too.

Does that mean there will be an enemy that looks like Iron Maiden's mascot "Eddie"?

$99.99 USD for the box? Yeesh...don't have that kind of money. I understand it comes with all the extras...but is there a version of the box we can get that's not the Founder's Edition with all the extras? I just want the box and the disk really. Otherwise I'ma hafta pass. I hope they sell well either way.

[Mark]

WOW. There are going to be a bunch of fanboys crawling out from mom and dad's basement to go and sell blood to save up enough.

Or...they'll have to choose between pimple cream or IM.

It read at Ion Maiden web site:
Already own the Ion Maiden Early-Access version on Steam?
We’re giving all Steam owners of Ion Maiden a 10% discount on the Founders Edition.
Click below and follow the step-by-step guide to connect your Steam account and receive your discount code.

So, Steam gets preferred prices? 3D Realms and GoG buyers are again second class here?

Thank you! Thank you very much.

I think 3DR buyers automatically get the discount as it's the same storefront. GOG users are screwed because allowing external organizations access to the customer data required to do such a thing would be a GDPR issue, and they don't want to. Literally nothing anyone can do about that.

[Forge]

Even at $90.00, that's still way out of my reach.

Regardless, I hope you sell thousands of units.

[Mr. Tibbs]

The new screenshots look damn good (I spy two new enemy types)!

Hmm, the receipt from 3D Realms says $ 99 + Shipping, so if they plan(ed) to give 3D Realms' customers a 'deal' it's not yet implemented.

p.s. I wanted this. Just mouthing off here.

I checked on this. Apparently when you log into the store on 3drealms.com, there's a button to generate a discount code which works for the boxed release. There are still some left, so you could probably cancel your existing order and place a new one with the discount code if you want. I thought it would be automatic myself.

No luck. I get, when logged it: 'Already Owned' (The Preview Campaign, game only); but no extra links or buttons under Ion Maiden [Games and My Games] or anywhere else.

Maybe it's my browser (Chrome) is hiding it?

Either way, waiting now for the box to come, save and sound.

So basically if you've already bought the game for 20 bucks they are giving you a 10 dollar discount so you can buy the thing you've already bought again. Lol, 100 bucks is already a bit too much (okay, it's not that bad for a CE, I just don't want a CE), I don't like the figurine and the only thing I wanted was a box and a floppy so no thanks.

In this case, it sounds like the future production runs would be more interesting to you. They will basically just be the box, the floppy, and probably the soundtrack disc, for a much lower price.

Question: How many eps is Ion Maiden going to have?

That's great to hear! I thought this was a one-off thing.

The Founder's Edition is a one-off. A more "regular" edition should be available later.

You're not very good at this are you?
Make a frenzy -

So Mr. TerminX, may I call you Tx? Going to anyway.
Hey Tx, how many of them thar Founder's Editions were made?

[Hank]

^ does not have to
Home page of Ion Maiden reads: Copies left, 243 ... and this is just the first day.

Congrats Voidpoint

[added]
Now it is at 241 238, so two lots of copies gone within 15 minutes,
Frenzy is on .................

p.s. Thanks, MusicallyInpired for posting, the way those boxes sell, I prolly would have missed it, I don't visit Steam that often.

This front page ? It's there, right on top.

I just bought mine but I apparently didn't get the discount.

It was the shipping costs that really choked me, but the first Build game in 20 years only comes once.

Pretty good, the last screenshot has some Blood vibes to it.

Question for the devs: Is the preview campaign more or less all we were going to get originally when Ion Maiden was just a bonus for Bombshell?
