Arcen Store Cyber Monday 60% Off Sale!

How do you gift here? I could not find an option for it.

I ask because I'm very interested on getting Children and Spire expansions (and in the process making me own every Arcen game! Yay) but I must do it through a friend, who has an international credit card (I'll pay in money to him).

There's not a specific gifting function here, because unlike something like Steam or Impulse, we don't keep track of your stuff in any central account.  Once you've made a purchase it sends you an email with the license keys (and shows them on the webpage confirming your purchase, too, actually).  To gift those keys to someone, just give them the keys and that's it.

[Balthier]

Okay, thank you!

But still, it doesn't keep him from using "my" keys ("my" since eventually I would be the one paying them), would it?

True, but it is just on the honor system since the game doesn't do any checking to ensure that only one person is using a key (although, I believe Steam does that, if you register it on Steam).

Bingo.  We don't do any checking on folks, it's up to them to do the right thing.

I finally bought myself Light of the Spire, and am picking up LotS and CoN for a friend of mine. I also of course, plugged it shamelessly on my Twitter and Facebook

Oh and I got Tidalis too, but that was part of the Indie Pack on Steam, so I gave you an extra dollar

Just picked up the latest expansion. Of course, I'm not going to have time to play it for another 2-3 weeks, and I still have to finish my current game, but the next time I start a game will be interesting. I'm going to be enabling Children and Light simultaneously, having played neither of them before (despite having pre-ordered both - last semester of college really eats into your free time ).

Quick question chaps.

I have all the AI War expansions bar spire on Steam.  If I got a new code direct from here for it, will it work on my Steam base game?

Thanks in advance

The keys you have for your Steam copy of AI War and its expansions will work on the DRM-free versions direct from Arcen, and keys bought direct from Arcen (like your hypothetical Light of the Spire key) will work just fine with your Steam version. LotS won't actually register with the Steam client until the official release, but you can enter it into your Steam copy of the game to play the beta before that and it'll work just fine (I speak from experience here).

I've been putting off buying Tidalis and Spire, since I'm almost broke. Didn't even buy the Steam Indie Puzzle pack that had Tidalis, since I'd rather give money straight to you guys. But 60% off in your store? Had to buy 'em both.

[Mánagarmr]

Hmm, gonna buy LotS for a friend and see if I can find someone to gift the full game to. All my friends own it already xD

[Chimpster]

Thanks for the response!

Bought Spire today, got the Steam puzzle pack yesterday and I've got 2 mates to buy the complete AI War set today (one already had the base game, but needed all the expansions ).

Looking forward to playing it later

Congratulations, AI War is one of the very few strategy games my wife likes to watch me play (and loves to discuss my next courses of action) so she bought a copy for herself (base + all the expansions) to play coop with me and interact more... actively.

Really, the longer I play AI War the more we think this is one of those games which are like a good wine. The longer you interact with it, the better it tastes (or something like that; my analogies are lousy in general).

Thanks for making something unique and definitely awesome, Arcen Team!

Thanks everyone for the support

Wow, the last three months of the year are just a lot better than the summer for actually getting enough revenue to keep making games

That's really cool to hear, actually.   Thanks for sharing, and thanks to both of your for your support!
