Hey the dude who designed that game is the guy who did Darklands for Microprose?

It’s the same person, yes.

Sweet. I played Dragon Rage until my cardboard chits were separating. I had completely forgotten about those little gems.
FYI: We’re now taking public pre-orders now at $2.00 off the normal price! Until June 18th, you can pre-order the full version of the game for $16.95 (USD), and this pre-order offer includes a 15-day full money back guarantee as well, so there’s no risk at all. Payment options/links are underneath the screenshots.

I really appreciated the nice words here when I mentioned the game. So I wanted to offer the chance to Qt3 readers to get the full version link e-mailed to you the day it comes out, for a lower price.
Tyjenks: Yes, there’s many board game gems out there that have been forgotten. I routinely would get comments from friends who would come over and play a game, and go ‘Wow I never even knew about this game, but it’s fun!’ Many still think most board games are for “old people”. Not true. :)

Just a quick note: The pre-order $16.95 ($2.00 off) discount sale will only last 2 more days (it ends at 9PM US Pacific Time, Friday June 18th), so if you’re a fan of RPG’s, card games, adventure games or fast cool little games (in the vein of Strange Adventures in Infinite Space) in general, and are interested in ordering, then get your order in soon! :D
Link to page and pre-order in the above post.
Thanks!

Already pre-ordered, thanks.
Any idea when it’ll be out?
Thanks for your order, Sten! :)
The release is tentatively scheduled for early next week sometime (June 21-24 range), assuming all goes well testing wise. The demo should be out roughly around the same time as well.

Okay, I pre-ordered it.
I need something card-y. Hope this fills my bill!
Thanks Andrew! I appreciate it. And I sure hope it fits
your bill as well. :)
If you enjoy lighter, quicker games, then you should enjoy Voyager quite a bit.

I leave for vacation on Friday (Indy… Formula One) but I’ll be ordering sometime after I get back. Thanks for offering a deal, Derek.

I dunno. A turn-based RPG card game? Not sure that’s my bag. :wink:
Just got in under the wire today, Derek. Now, it better be fun!!!
Pre - Ordered today, thanks for passing on the “Special Offer”.
I have been looking for something that I can play to completion in a short amount of time. With summer here, the kids are running me ragged :lol: .
Thanks both of you above for your orders. Always appreciated.
Tyjenks: It has to be fun too?? Ohh the pressure. :)
Myth: Yep, that’s one of the prime types for the game that should enjoy it; people who like quick games that still have a bit of depth to them (ie not a Tetris or Breakout clone or match-the-colored-objects puzzle game).
As a game comparison baseline, if you played and enjoyed Strange Adventures in Infinite Space and enjoyed it even a little, you should have lots of fun with this one. :)

Wow, Demonlord is there too! That’s one of those games I bought and pored over endlessly without ever successfully inflicting it on my friends…That whole damn line of slightly-larger-than-microgames is there for free. I remember wanting Goblin…Thanks, Mike!
Just a final note: The pre-sale ends tonight at 9PM Pacific Time. Last chance to get the discounted price! :)
We’re chatting about the game here at Gone Gold forums (from someone who tested the release final version), and it shows off the scoreboard too:

Will ya hurry up and release the darned thing already? You’re such a tease…
:)
heh…sorry about that. :)
The pre-sale is now over; and I appreciate everyone here who ordered (or considered ordering). The game is in the “home stretch” now and should be out next week sometime. Watch our site for more details.
The Gone Gold thread above has more new opinions and details about the game too, from the main full version RC tester.
Thanks!

That thread is not really helping. Unless I missed somewhere in there that it says the game is ready for download, all it is doing is making me want to play now. :wink:
Is it next week yet? :wink:
heh…It’s next week, but I decided to add a few new tweaks and a new feature to the game: adding region “types” that can lend clues about what type of encounter you may face by entering a region on the map, and some regions that have special bonuses or abilities when entering (usually a trade-off thing; good thing for a penalty). It will add new strategy and depth to each realm choice in the game.
And I was trying to find a way to incorporate it without any extra clicking, which I did: just move your mouse pointer over the realm, and the primary realm type pops up over the bottom of it, so the pic is still visible. Simple.
More about that in the above Gone Gold thread. It added a little extra testing time of course, so it may be a day or two later. As you can see though, the tester in that thread is pretty enthusiastic about the game. :D
