When "Hermes" for the CD32 materializes then memory won't be a problem anymore.

That's a shame, I miss-read into it as leading to a proper release.

You were not the only one.

Anyone knows if Putty Squad should work from floppy drive with a CD32 + Analogic Floppy drive combination? Thanks!

Can we get a kickstarter for a boxed copy? And no stupid pledges like pledge £100 get a poster

they were produced in limited numbers (100) and only available with the Amiga book p.s. there was ONE left but it was alongside the £200+ pledge (Which no longer exists!).

Perhaps you can do some wheeling and dealing with Sam Dyer for the last copy!

Strange.

I was promised a boxed copy with no strings attached.

I guess thats not happening then.......hmmmm, must go over my PM history and have a little chat.

EDIT: Sam Dyer aka MrSID64, just checked my history and indeed he did promise me a copy.

Looks like a kickstarter to get Galahad a boxed copy then! Bit of a bastard when you do all that work and you don't get a copy!!

Agreed. If I promise something I either deliver that promise (even if it's later than originally planned), or I explain my reasons why I can't deliver said promise.

Ah, perhaps there will be more than 100 then! I don't get all this limited edition stuff, it just inflates prices and people lose out.

Galahad/FLT · 10 January 2015, 11:47

Spoken to Sam , and the book isnt even finished yet, so disks havent been produced yet either.

I aske him to show his head in here, perhaps if people are really keen for a physical copy of Putty Squad and there are not enough to go around, then you can convince him

BarryB · 10 January 2015, 13:04

Me first! Putty me down for a boxed copy

seuden · 10 January 2015, 13:09

Backers who have paid for the book and the physical copy of Putty Squad backed it with the understanding that it would be limited. I couldn't care less but other backers might mind that their physical copy might now be worth less due to more than 100 being available. I must admit tho I like the idea that I would have 1 of only 100 ever made.

Just so I'm not going mad I double checked...

£60 or more (has 50 backers)
THE BOOK AND LIMITED EDITION PUTTY SQUAD AMIGA GAME: You get the book in all it's full colour lithographic glory and also a limited edition boxed version of Putty Squad. Only 100 will ever be made of this amazing game.

£75 pledge or more (has 49 backers)
THE BOOK AND SIGNED LIMITED EDITION PUTTY SQUAD AMIGA GAME:

So that left the remaining copy of 1 which was on the highest pledge of more than £250.. which subsequently got removed? (I didn't much follow the Kickstarter after I made my pledge for the book)

BarryB · 10 January 2015, 16:24

Mark the 100 copies as a special limited edition exclusive to the book and have each box numbered, then have another run that just looks like a normal box you'd buy in a shop!

The pledgers get their own unique numbered box that's tied to the book that's marked as a limited edition, wouldn't those 100 copies still be unique and valuable?

seuden · 10 January 2015, 20:55

In my opinion, not really. :-D

fitzsteve · 10 January 2015, 20:59

I'm still keen to get a boxed copy but I don't understand all this pledge stuff, just a link to a store to buy the game and I'd be happy!

+1

He he, I pledged the kickstarter Putty box, one of 100, and it was very quickly sold out. I think the best way how to satisfy everybody would be another boxes run, that would be something like "budget release", different to those original big boxes.
