Hast du schon was erreicht?

Nein. Wie zu erwarten war meldet sich von dort niemand. Ich habe die Info-Adresse angeschrieben und an die Adresse geantwortet, von der die Mail stammt, die du zitiert hast. Außerdem funktioniert der Login auf der Website nicht mehr.
Die Saber-Rider-Leute habe ich ebenfalls über mehrere Kanäle angeschrieben... Natürlich keine Antwort.

Galencia Khaos Sphere: auch keine Antwort.

Die Xenocider-Sache gestaltet sich sehr zäh. Aber es hat sich wenigstens jemand gemeldet. Auf das Geld warte ich schon seit ca. einer Woche und bislang kam nichts.

Für mich hat sich das alles erledigt und ich will mit solchen Sachen nichts mehr zu tun haben.

Hi!


So, this is sort of awkward... but we need to send an update because we
are about to announce that we're changing over our site... and I want to
send an update explaining a big update with Jay Townsend's SL@VE, but
while I truly believe that announcement is the closest it's ever been,
this announcement isn't that.


So anyway, let me be really honest here - Like I've said before, we wish
this project was completed. It is still being worked on. There are a
ton of things behind the scenes that keep holding it back that are out
of our control. I have been personally in touch with the developers in
the past few days, and it has made steps. There are even some surprises
for the delay that we've included.


But, I also don't feel comfortable talking about those until we actually
go gold. I was under the impression in our last email that we basically
were there. Long story short, the game worked... for like six levels,
at which point we suddenly had a new game ending scenario. It's still
being worked on, and I hope that in the very near future, we'll have
good news. If the project ends, we'll be refunding everyone.


And, if you're done with waiting, no problem! Just email me back at this email address and we'll issue a refund.


If not though, I want to explain what is going to happen - in a little
while, you may seen an email about how we are about to upgrade the GOAT
Store site, and when we do we won't be retaining prior orders. Do not
worry - your pre-order WILL be retained.


Finally, let's answer a few questions people have sent us recently:


Q. The game is no longer for sale on the site! Why not?


A. The game was always intended to be a limited run. Those spaces sold
out! To make the process fair, when the game is shipping, we will open
any orders that were canceled up to the general public.


Q. Why don't you communicate about the game more?


A. Honestly, we should have been, and this year has been very difficult
for us. If you didn't know, we also run the annual Midwest Gaming
Classic trade show in Milwaukee, which was shuttered at the very
beginning of the COVID pandemic just weeks before it was to be held, and
as you may be able to imagine, has taken up a lot of stress and time to
deal with. At the same time, I didn't have much to say, so... yeah.
Sorry.


Q. Can I ask you about the game?


A. My email address is very open, and I'm happy to reply to people.
Having said that, it would be irresponsible of me to randomly tell
people in email that the game is shipping or whatever, so I can't
necessarily say too much more. I will tell you, *as soon as I have
something to share, you'll be getting an email.* Promise.


Q. My address changed? Now what?


A. Before we ship the games, we intend to contact everyone to confirm
your shipping information. We know it has been a while, and both Gary
and I moved during this time, so we'll handle it then!


I think that is it. Again, huge thanks for sticking with us, if you
can't stick with us any longer I totally understand (and then hit reply
and we'll get you that refund!), and I hope to get you a final,
playable, awesome version of this game in your hands ASAP!
