AndreaColombo Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Backer portal. $35 for the game; $20 for the beta add-on. Welcome aboard "Time is not your enemy.

KDubya Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 If you go to the backer page you can select the $35 buy digital game and then hit the upgrade for beta access, I think it was $20 or something like a total of $55. This is what I did the day after the Beta went live and it has been money well spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peddroelm Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 Well it does seem somewhat dubious for them to charge extra from people who are basically doing work for them (testing/balance/feedback etc.. ) On the other hand the project seems very interesting to me .. I do have a let's play planned for a different game but then, probably I'll bite the bullet and check out this thing .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDubya Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 You get a copy of the game for $55 (plus Beta access) which is like what a new release game costs anyway. Plus finding what is broken as far as being overpowered is a lot of fun. You also get a way to help shape how the game comes out possibly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peddroelm Posted December 2, 2017 Author Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) ..installing .. but might be some days until I can focus on this .. Not much satisfaction for me to see what's OP at this extremely early stage of development .. My primary drive for this type of projects has always been figuring out how the various systems (are supposed to) work .. Also the super advanced combat logger (compared to the competition) pretty much gets my money by default ..

Wormerine Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 I would say backer beta is really for people who are interested in the project, want to see how it develops, want to give feedback and make sure it is the best game it can be (or it fits the most my taste:-P).As far as fun-buy it is not a good offer. It is not a polished early access game Klei tends to release. There is little content, its buggy, unbalanced, runs poorly. The benefit of such convoluted to pay paywall is that only people who are really interested in the project get in. And its part of crowdfunding culture by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Hieronymous Alloy Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 (edited) Yeah, the beta isn't worth buying as a game, it's only worth buying into if you want to roleplay an armchair game developer and either do a bunch of bug hunting, tinker around with game mechanics, or shout your Game Opinions into the great maw of the internet. I mean, it's a fun little window into the next game, but that's all it is. Edited December 2, 2017 by Dr. Hieronymous Alloy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like you are paying $55 for beta and then have to buy the game later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that one shouldn’t buy into Deadfire beta. Just wanting to make sure, one knows what is going into. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
