It's up to you if that's the decision you want to make, just registering that it turned me away.<br /><br />I know people like the feeling of getting something exclusive but to me that just creates resentment a sense of division. I know this is standard for crowd sourcing games and it's the reason they lose good will with me and I decide not to give them my business, it's natural to dislike the "sorry, you didn't get here soon enough so you'll have to pay a penalty to get access to the shiny toy this group are enjoying" - it made me think "forget it then, I don't actually need this".<br /><br />It creates a bad consumer/seller relationship from the get go and I can't be the only one it's turned away. You don't have to change your mind, just know that you've probably stunted the success of the project.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10696741642388530016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-21900473642090377332015-01-12T09:26:52.374+01:002015-01-12T09:26:52.374+01:00I'll buy when you set a final price for the de...I'll buy when you set a final price for the deluxe edition.

Whenever you find a version called ADOM 1.2.something it's the original ADOM. <br /><br />You never should read about a version ADOM 0.3.something (nowadays) as official ADOM releases started with 0.4 so many years (19?) ago. ADOM II is currently at 0.3.2 (which shows that it's still pretty raw and incomplete).<br /><br />Cheers!<br />ThomasThe Creatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12906302439863860854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-7447957052553213382013-03-10T14:29:36.482+01:002013-03-10T14:29:36.482+01:00I think $40 is totally reasonable.

Sorry for my confusion, there are just a few blogs, websites, etc, related to Adom now, and I get confused navigating them!David Streeverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12851627519388966547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3586507643754859034.post-45523023376097755392013-02-23T05:25:30.975+01:002013-02-23T05:25:30.975+01:00Hello Thomas,

And was happy to help with early monster descriptions.<br /><br />I sadly didn't find out about the Indiegogo campaign until it was too late. If I'd have known I would have definitely thrown in some extra for some of those bonuses. Would it still be possible to get any of the higher donation perks?
