If you're on GMT+10 or so, then you should wait until tomorrow. ;) I'm guessing a release tonight US time after the final sprint today.

I'm honestly not sure when it will be up on Steam and GMG; it's basically up to when Valve flips the switch.  There are some final things I'm doing this morning, but the last pre-release patch will be done wtihin 2 hours or so.

Then I need to do the installers and get those to GamersGate as well as up on our site.  I imagine GamersGate will be the first one to have the game out, by an hour or so, given that.  Unless Steam's (and thus GMG's) release come later in the day than expected.

Glad you're excited!  :D

Maybe... though not today.  Honestly I think they were a bit spooked that our first and only title with them (Shattered Haven) did so poorly.  We don't have the long history of credibility with them that we do with our other vendors.  When you've done seven figures of business with someone, they tend to cut you a little more slack when you have a down moment, heh.

Cool cool... I'm EST (-5), so hopefully not too late today :D  I've become a bit of a fanboy among my friends for Arcen Games, so I can't wait to check this one out... and ofcourse price is completely right :)

I like "God" games and have been looking forward to this one for a while. I hope Steam will flip the switch soon, because I'm leaving work now (living in Scandinavia ). :D

Also looking forward to this one keeping a close eye on Steam as I type.

And I see the Arcen shop is about ready~

I must say, I'm quite looking forward to this. Looks rather my cup of tea.

Yeah, I see the Steam store page too, but it does not say when it will be released.  So, people will assume it is released already.

Also, Chris, you really should put the trailer up there when you have time.  I know some Steam folks get steamed if there is no video of the game.  They think there is something to hide by not showing a video.

Sigh.  We've been !@%#%ed several times by not having a video on launch.  Steam customers need to understand that the developers/publishers have no direct control over the timing of the videos going up.

Am hoping to get my copy from Arcen instead of Steam, so am watching the Store and the Skyward Collapse page.  :)
