There Came an Echo est le second jeu développé par Iridium Studios à qui l’on doit l’excellent Sequence.
Après une campagne réussie sur Kickstarter , Feep développeur et membre du forum NeoGaf offre pendant 48 heures une copie Steam de son jeu à tous les membres du forum qui répondront à son sujet de discussion.
Explications du développeur:
I’m doing it again.
Upon the Steam release of There Came an Echo (which should be sometime around noon on February 24th), I will be giving away a free copy to every single member of this forum who claims a code in the next 48 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are you an idiot?
Maybe. This is, to my knowledge, pretty unprecedented…by my estimations, I’m going to be giving away somewhere north of one hundred thousand dollars worth of my own product at launch. Sounds pretty idiotic.
For the love of God, why?!
You guys just playing my game at all means a lot to me, and I owe GAF a lot. I got my start in development thanks to a NeoGAF thread! It’s a fantastic community, and I’m proud to be a part of it. These days, though, NeoGAF is a little more than that. NeoGAF gets callouts at E3. It has hundreds of members of the enthusiast press and development community, and still thousands more who read it daily. Almost everyone in the industry knows what it is.
Steam isn’t quite the walled garden it used to be, and getting noticed as an indie is getting progressively more and more difficult. So, I’m taking a calculated risk. I’m giving the game to a ton of people who I think will talk about it, share it, make YouTube videos about it, whatever. I’m trying to get a whole forum to help, thousands of people, because I think there are very few forces in the industry as influential on a grassroots level. Of course, the game has to be cool, too, but don’t worry. It absolutely is. 😉
And it’s not like I’m actually losing a hundred thousand dollars, I’m only losing whatever sales I would have made naturally to NeoGAF members who would have bought the game of their own volition…and even then, I think I can more than make that up. Steam codes are free to generate and distribute. The economics of the past do not apply.
Well…okay, if you’re cool with it. How do I get a Steam key?
If you’d like a key for the game, make a post in this thread *****WITH A TITLE*****. I don’t care what the title is, just use one. Don’t claim more than one copy! You may, of course, give or gift the key to a friend. We have EviLore and Cheesemeister assisting with an automated distribution system, so don’t worry about that.
We’ll be giving away keys in two waves…one wave after 24 hours, and one wave after 48. No keys will be given out beyond that point.
How can I help?
I want to clear that you are under no obligation whatsoever to help in any way. Take the code and play the game, guilt-free. Maybe you’ll think the game is dumb! And that’s absolutely fine, I promise.
That said, if you’d like, there are quite a few ways you can help (many of which will be repeated in the private message containing your Steam code). But the most immediate way you can help is to click the button below to donate directly to Iridium! Every penny is extremely appreciated, you guys. <3
Pour tous ceux qui ne disposent pas d’un compte NeoGaf comme c’est mon cas, vous pouvez toujours soutenir le développeur en achetant le jeu ou en faisant une donation à cette adresse. A titre personnel, j’ai acheté l’édition Steam + Soundtrack afin de soutenir ce genre d’initiatives.
