How is that character maker? Is there one? Can I.. (jesus I just heard a rifle) WTF.. hopefully it just was a car.. Can I make 4 girls, like in spice girls?

Lol!

Your teams' skills are uploaded. You gain xp and experience for each job (soldier, support, hacker and infiltrator). Individuals aren't improved seperately and everything about their job is downloaded to them when assigned to that position.

That said, you can hijack civilians and then send them to a cloning facility. If you use the original, you get a bonus to your agent's stats. Clones lose all bonuses. You should always use the original - agents are automatically cloned when they die. So you can hijack 4 civilian women and use them as agents in this game if you want.

Another way to accomplish a mission with a lone agent - if you don't need to carry anything out with your agent, rather than waste time sneaking out just open fire on the nearest guard and let them kill you. Your agent respawns somewhere outside the facility. Human life is cheap (in this game).

Wishlisted since this game seems to have issues atm. >_>

Many devs and GOG lied. Let's go with that (+1 for Crimson's persistence).

From GOG's side or the dev/publisher side? I'm interested if you don't mind.

Disappointed in the game and the graphics, teh game was crashing at the beginning because of that dumb Galaxy.dll. Syndicate was a lot better the last time I played it.

like what? if you're talking about the game not launching for non-galaxy players than all you have to do is delete galaxy.dll

Can a blue point this out already??? The community can't seem to read the game's forum.

I started the game with 4 female characters... I don't know if it's random or not, and one of the actually has a huge pink afro hair-do so she could definitely be a spice girl.

Pink afro and a gauss gun. Sounds about what games should contain.

These screenshots have more colors than a freaking rainbow. I like it.

Maybe it's the publishers that drive forward this practices but we don't know really how much GOG advices them to not do it or do it..

Actually I think they will lose money now when separating extras and game and selling the extras for a really large price. It makes each part less attractive and potentially overpriced (especially for the soundtrack).

Can you imagine that GOG once sold whole games plus extras for $6? Now even a soundtrack is sold for more.

It might result in less than expected sales numbers which is bad for everyone including the publisher/developer.

At least to me seeing this it makes me wanting not to buy the game which is a pity because otherwise it looks not too bad. On the other hand I can always still buy it later when the price forthe complete package is more to my liking. But maybe I forget this until then.

Not sure I understand the question. I recall reading the comment on GOG's forum, but not sure if it was a blue that posted it, or a publisher.

Can GOD provide a reclaim for backers? Pretty please?..

Sure. It was not my intention to let believe that devs are always right or that they also don't lie. However, the fact that multiple devs assert the same things and the fact that it's really rare to find devs that gives GOG keys, is in favor of my opinion that maybe the process to ask for GOG keys is not as good as the one for asking a steam key, or that it doesn't provide an as good deal for the developers.
Even developers that in the past provided GOG keys for their games stopped doing that. That should mean something.

For that I believe you must have faith... :D

Well they gave what was promised in the initial kickstarter DRM free and steam. Humble is DRM free and I understand why developers would deal with them as it is a convenient way to cover both bases.

I can't answer for how receptive GOG is to providing keys. But I would expect a small unknown developer would have a harder time getting pre-approval from GOG to to be on their store and offer keys before a kickstarter has even finished. Larger studios with a track record and relationships with GOG might be able to do it, but I doubt it would be so easy a proposition for smaller ones. If you can't guarantee GOG will distribute it you simply can't for legal or ethical reasons say it will be on GOG during your kickstarter.

So while I would love a GOG copy I understood at the time of backing that wasn't confirmed, so I can't really be disappointed too much.

I can see your point I back some games with a soundtrack just assuming because most games these days come with a lossless FLAC copy and occasionally all i get is MP3. It is disappointing but unless I get confirmation from the devs prior to backing the game I know and understand that is a risk I'll get the crappy MP3.

I'll actually be reducing the number of games I back as well and probably prefer the developers who have a longer history of development and GOG relationships as now that the Australian Dollar is rubbish I can't really afford to rebuy games on GOG too much (unless really good special) so I too will favour a kickstarter developer that has that relationship with GOG and offers the GOG key.

I don't mind humble but I've always preferred the GOG installers for DRM free games.

so satellite reign is a mindblowing successor to the syndicate games?
