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.

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

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.

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?

^ 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.

The correct answer is, "what is 500"?

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

[xMobilemux]

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.

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

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

[Micky C]

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?

[NNC]

Is the alien chaingun we saw in QotH a replacement weapon to the standard chaingun (SMG-9000) or will it use a another slot? I'm asking because I'm not sure if two chainguns need to be carried.

[oasiz]

Another slot.
Preview just has no real regular use for it so its forced use for ending and qoth has forced as well.

[Sanek]

Yes, the last shot is definitely inspired by one of Blood's episode 2 levels.
However, I also get a Shadow Warrior feeling from the majority of these shots. If SW was made today, it'll look like this.

[xMobilemux]

Played through the preview again and once I saw those armor sets I couldn't help but think back to my disappointment with Shelly's current design, so I tried my own take on it.


Now this is the kind of badass babe I can see in a line up with all the other Build Era Shooter Heroes.

[Mike Norvak]

So is Multiplayer for EDuke confirmed to arrive by 2019?

BTW Nice redesign xMobilmux.

[Forge]

so the founder's edition is down to almost 100 copies left.

after design, production, and packaging costs, voidpoint has cleared about $46.23 usd

[xMobilemux]

Has anyone managed to pull the sprites and textures from the preview? Dukeres obviously doesn't work.

[Kyanos]

The .art file has a different header than original tiles##.art, it's possible that reading the source code you could learn how to open it, but it could be that Voidpoint wants to keep it locked and that code could be separated from public builds of Eduke32 very simply if they desired. I won't try to do it.

[Hank]

I think we will be able to edit/add our own art work, when the game comes out.

http://www.ionmaiden.com/ then click on FAQ, it reads:

Are you including Modding tools or is the game moddable?
BIG YES! You will get all the tools (including the level editor) that we used while making the game. Almost all of game code is user editable through CON scripting.

[MrFlibble]

Sorry for a possibly weird question, but I noticed that among the new screenshots in the Press Kit, images numbered 11 to 16 have the PNG extension but in fact are all JPEGs. They are in fact the same files as the screenshots currently on the official website's front page, which have the correct JPG extension. Do you have the same in lossless quality?

Thanks for letting us know. Passed it along to the guy responsible for the press kit.

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.

If you bought the Early Access version directly from 3D Realms you get the 10% off too. To get your discount code you have to login to 3DR and you will find it if you go to profile under your account data.

Murharharhar - I looked every where except my personal profile! Yep, it's there, after all.

[Never Forgotten]

It sucks... I want Ion Maiden Founder's Edition, but I can't get it until the next payday, which will be in two weeks. It's already down to 45, something tells me it will be gone by then.

You wont' be charged for it until it ships, sometimes in early 2019; at least by using PayPal, or so I understand the message from PayPal.

[Never Forgotten]

Well, I got it and got a message saying they won't take the money out until they process it, so I'm assuming it's good. So I'm a happy boy now.
