The Site is back up and more! 08.30.13

Hey Survivalist, we’ve been lying low pulling our site down for maintenance and prepping our new spiffy servers to support our huge and growing fan base. We apologize for the downtime but hope you’ll enjoy the new ride and added benefits that are coming soon.

NEW FORUMS PASSWORD RESET – Folks we have new spiffy forums up and running. Due to the new forums, your old password is gone! To reset your password, click here. You will be sent an email to reset the password. Be sure to check your spam folder, we’ve had reports that the email is put there sometimes!

SUPPORT TICKET PAGE COMING – Folks we apologize for the inconvenience but we are working on rebuilding our customer database and a new ticketing support system to better serve those with support problems including no authentication keys, wrong emails, blocked emails, login errors and more. Unfortunately about 300 customers have been caught in the middle of this. Please be patient during this transition period as we will do our best to serve you.

NEW PURCHASING SYSTEM COMING – Folks we’re sorry but our purchasing page is down right now! We’re busy working on helping the folks who already bought the game and still need our support. Check back soon as we’re busy working on an improved buying system.

ALPHA VERSION 1.1 COMING SOON! – You guys have been asking so here are a few things we’re including in the first official Alpha 1.1 update coming soon.

  • Improved memory management, game needs less memory
  • 6 player consumer coop and multiplayer
  • Version check and login check can be bypassed now when our server cannot be reached
  • Better dedicated server support (unlimited players)
  • Console does not pop up on errors any more
  • Several item duplication bugs fixed
  • Added recipes for brick, decayed brick, pavers red wood and more
  • Zombie stair pathing improved

Thank you so much and next steps 08.15.13

Thank you Survivalist’
You’ve all given us so much and exceeding our wildest expectations reaching our top stretch goal breaking 500k on Kickstarter in the last minutes. The whole team thanks you and is grateful for the opportunity you have given us and blessed us with the chance to make “Our Dream Game,” “Your dream Game.”

We have already worked around the clock to promote this game and create a build we are proud of and a registration, downloading system we hop can accommodate over 25 thousand users. But our work is not done.

We still need to collect all our backers information and get it into our database so we can get you your user Keys. On or before midnight US Central time you will receive a Kickstarter survey please fill it out thoroughly and accurately as a simple email typo, wrong name or address can prevent from getting you the game. And if you bought one of the Alpha packs please know your friend’s emails and names as this can prevent us from getting you the game. If you overfunded $70 and want 2 Alpha copies please include that in the survey.

And for now please do not email us unless you already bought the game with paypal and have account problems as we are answering hundreds of emails a day and this will prevent us from getting you the game. We ask you to be patient a little longer as we get you the game in the coming hours or days!

And for those of you who have asked our PayPal Buy page will be back up soon and stay up after Alpha release for everyone to still buy the pledges they want including Alpha.

Official Alpha Date Announcement! 08.05.13

What’s up Survivalist’
We have a great announcement for all you!”

  • Many have emailed us or messaged us on the forums or through Kickstarter asking when will Alpha be available? First of all we’re working as hard as we can to get the game to all of you. It takes a lot of work to set up a registration and download method for over ten thousand people. On top of that we can’t even collect emails from Kickstarter backers until the campaign ends on the morning of August 15th. That said all Alpha backers who pre-ordered the game, backed it through Paypal and or Kickstarter will get a registration and download email as close as humanly possible to August 16th barring a network server meltdown or losing my Fedora hat feather . Our community has spoken and we’re listening. And folks we’re trying our best to get back to everyone who has emailed us. We’ve receive hundreds of questions in the last 4 days from our website and Kickstarter daily.
  • After only 20 days we’re still number #1 of 1,406 games on Steam Link with over 66 thousand Yes votes! Keep them yes votes coming folks let’s get this baby Green lit in record time! 
  • We’re over $177 k and 88% to our goal on our Kickstarter Page with 10 days left. Help us get funded and pledge now!

You stay cool!
