I believe rewards have been shipped when someone posts a picture of their rewards in hand. Until then, I don't believe any of the claims contained in that Kickstarter 'shipping update'.

 

I'm at the $75 tier anyways, so I'm not expecting to get anything for a while yet - if ever.

6 weeks later still nothing

 

I hope they don't shoot the games with the cannon!

Watch this space

 

So you know like when you watch the space and it's blank. Then you get black spots appearing in front of your eyes. Then green splodges that warp and melt like a lava lamp. Then you see those little specks of light swimming around the air and you wonder if they're faeries or just blood rushing around your retina or shit floating in the cornea or whatever. Then you start hallucinating and see dragons and the twisted face of someone you'd forgotten about from 5th grade and didn't even like that much. Then a skull and your own soul leaking out the eyes. Then you look away at something moving suddenly in your peripheral vision, but it was nothing. Then you hear the electric whine of your own brain which begins as almost completely inaudible and ends up deafening you. Then you work out it's a very high octave of Eb. Then you go blind and don't even care any more.

 

That.

I'm afraid you won't get an answer here. This Forum has been abandoned by RTG.

And they take really long to answer or give any informations. The shipping Update was quite a while ago and it seems, they havn't shipped out any boxes. Rather we haven't

heard of anyone recieving it.So I wouldn't get my hopes high on recieving the Steam extras any time soon.

 

The communication with/from RTG has come to a halt quite some time ago with giving rarly any informations or updates.

If anybody wonders about why this post sounds so dramatic, don't worry about it, that's just my nature

 

Think about this, it's been more than five years since the Kickstarter campaign...

My views have changed, my insight has formed, my understanding has grown. I'm not that interested in the TLJ franchise anymore, I realize that I've grown out of it. Even video games in general are progressively losing my attention. I think I'm going to let it go now. If I'll ever receive this physical copy then that's nice. But I think I won't be around for any upcoming RTG projects. I'm writing this message as a means to call it quits, the recipient lies somewhere hidden in the echoes of the old world.

But this world is new now. Midnight has passed and there's no use clinging to the former day. Imma put off the dream machine now and wake up from this lost vision. Hello, sunshine. God bless.

Ragnar tweeted:

 

"Boxes are shipping - just not all in one go. And shipping times do vary quite a lot, but we'll check in on everyone to make sure they've received their shipments by the end of the month."

 

So...no one's received their box yet since the update on March 10, but everyone's supposed to suddenly receive it some time in the next two weeks? I'll believe that when it happens...

 

And then:

 

"We're not selling any boxes until all backers have received theirs. Maybe in June."

 

But all tiers are supposed to receive the Journeyman edition, so...are you telling us all levels are going to ship by June so you'll then be able to sell extra copies?

[Happy Tree]

We know this is impossible. None of the other tiers have been asked to confirm shipping addresses.

[Minstrum-Squall]

Hi there is news of these shipments?

[Kardn]

Nope, no new news. Wouldn't be surprised if it takes another month or two before they ship it. Maybe even longer.

Dunno what the problem is but they won't tell us either.

[Barentity]

I received my copy today.

[Chocobo_sage]

That's atleast 2 backers now.... Nit got mine yet though

[Edreamer Jamil]

3 now - mine arrived today.
I haven’t opened it as this journeyman edition will be a present for my sister

[MisterMetropolis]

I've heard that it doesn't come with an instruction manual, which the Kickstarter says it does. It makes me wonder what other rewards will be missing from the higher tiers, if they'll even exist at all.

Nice! So they're out there in the wild.

That's correct. I'm a little disappointed with that, and that it doesn't include any of the downloadable extras on the DVD either. Compared to my Dreamfall Special Edition box, it looks a bit empty.

[Happy Tree]

It was always going to be missing things. The game itself is missing things. As always, no explanation or even comment. Ah well, you reap what you sow.

 

Still, at least someone has received something at last! Blimey. The stone has finally given a drop of blood.

[Vainamoinen]

Receipt confirmed.

[Leonard Zelig]

People paid $110 for a nice "box" with exclusive artwork, a "printed manual" and all goodies of the digital collector edition (e.g. the soundtrack). 

 

Now the only got a digipac and a foldable cardboard booklet with a hung in DVD on a plastic carrier.

 

No box. No printed manual. Also the digital goodies were only available for Episode 1. Not even the artwork is exclusive, but identical to the PC-version that was released four years ago for $29 when only Episode 1 was out (only was this one IN ONE BOX).

Kickstarter is pretty dead to me, except from the $10-15 minimum digital tiers.

[Evil Duck]

If that's the case i'm really worried abot my 500 dollar pledge and the stuff we were promised there. But I guess we have to wait and see, but im not to hopefull about it all.
