The field guides helped! I could recognize stations when I saw them.

it would be interesting if you could attach some sort of bomb to the station core to blow it up or make it implode…. the effect in the style would be cool.

I am heartfully glad that I purchased captain forever/imposter. It’s worth a lot more than I paid for, and I was delighted when I heard/read about Jameson in progress. It sounds like it will be pretty epic. I’m currently studying Computer Games Programming at university, and you’re one of my biggest inspirations. Keep up the excellent work ^^

I’m a bit of a skin flint and dont fork out for games on the net but this was the best 20 dollars i ever spent. Not that i often spend dollars cos they look funny at you in shops in england if you try to palm off forign cash. hell they turn their noses up at scotish notes… i digress, it was well worth the money, and that was before all the Jamison hype too.

Farbs its not just your skill at programming (of which i have none at all, the last thing i did that came close to programming was on my BBC-B;
10 print “boobs”;,
20 goto 10
or press start on the microwave to heat heat up a coffee) its your imagination and attention to detail i think is amazing.
keep up the good work, if you do think of any ways for promotion and you need help i’ll do what i can.

Cheers

Huh, just shy of 3,000 people and a fairly large chunk didn’t buy in at full price. There must be some way to get more people’s attention. Maybe a VCD editor either as an unlockabled for reaching the endgame of Forever or for becoming a supporter that allows you to design custom enemies or maybe even build scenarios and send them to friends. Or maybe every supporter account could be given a set number of invitations to send out for people to try Captain Successor… I dunno. Something.

Aw shucks :)

You can see overall suppporter numbers here:

About 1/3 of these are from the Indie Summer Of Love Bundle or are free promotional accounts, with the rest split somewhat evenly between pre-release and release. It’s a substantial amount of money, but still short of a decent wage. Hopefully Jameson will offer enough for some of the many non-supporter Forever players to consider signing up. I guess we’ll see.

I really appreciate how you treat people like me. You’ve earned a lot more than my fifteen dollars.

…Though don’t expect monthly payments. I mean you’ve earned my respect as a developer and as a person.

By the way, how have sales been on Captain Forever?

Aw well, it was worth asking about.

Well I look forward to it when it is finally ready.

Unfortunately a release within two weeks is pretty unlikely. Sorry Chris.
