I thought BigFry would look different to that, but I guess you simply can't imagine a person's face solely based on hearing their voice.
That isn’t BigFry that’s SOG lol

Well what made you decide to have streamers do this instead of a smaller number of your longest backers?
I don’t think it would be fair to other backers especially because it boils down to splitting up who gets access based on arbitrary data.
It's an alpha, people expect there to be problems. Instead you choose to actively frustrate the people backing the game by telling them they have to wait longer than others that have supported you for less time. It's not a good look to start out with the statement that streamers are more important.
But I suppose annoying your longest supporters is likely a good PR move here, you're right. You get streamer support and a smoother launch. People will forget about it once they're actually playing.
You do you, but I've seen way too many games give streamers preferential treatment to the detriment of the community now to not at least be wary of this decision.
When you launch something to a large audience there are some basic expectations for functionality. We’re having our partners help out with that so we don’t end up frustrating thousands of people on day one. It’s the right thing to do.
Nothing to do with preferential treatment, especially considering I don’t even watch anyone or anything on Twitch.
So doing right by your backers in y'alls mind here is giving other people access first over people that have supported you for years?
You know who else is capable of testing things? Your backers.
Potentially frustrating every single person that backed the game isn’t really worth it in my opinion.
Why do you keep trying to tempt us with these memes?
Is the partner program still open? I have a small twitch following with a decent amount of zombie content.
We’ll be posting some information very shortly on how to gain access to the program if you are a content creator. Keep an eye on Discord, Twitter, Reddit, etc. for the announcement.
When it's cleared, come back and tell us. 95% means NOTHING in court. It either IS or it ISN'T. Also, letting the partners in first who haven't even backed the game, made a youtube video or streamed any released info.. Tisk tisk.. Huge slap in the face to someone who HAS dropped real $$ to help build this ship.
Disputes like this rarely make it to court because at the end of the day we complied with the party that brought this issue up. We weren’t in court nor am I spending $150,000 when compliance is far more cost effective.
Our partners are acting as guinea pigs to make sure things work when your key. Saying that they haven’t backed the game when most of the boomstick tier backers are people in our partner program and I honestly cannot think of a single partner that hasn’t backed the project.
But how do I get the key?
I understand that but how do I get the key? The post said I have to register somewhere? Why isn't it an automated process? Indiegogo has my email, send the key to that email and I'll register it on your site / my account right?
Register an account on qisoftware.ca with the same email as your Indiegogo account.
You’ll have access to your key through there, you’ll also gain access to the backer role on Discord and on the forums in the near future.
They did it because the partners have a different NDA then the backers. Smaller sample size so if they need to push back the CA more they can and the partners are less likely to spill the beans.
Once that countdown starts and you see it live on the Indiegogo it’s the point of no return. At the end of it you will be given access to the game.
I don't understand the staggered release, what do I have to do now? Register where?
We’re letting our partners in right around the start of the countdown to CA so we can test the game with a sizeable audience and have the time to make any fixes that are needed or issues preventing the game from being playable.
We aren’t experienced AAA vets, and don’t have experience launching a project of this magnitude. It would be irresponsible to release the Closed Alpha without testing to make sure everything on our backend is functioning correctly.
"While we have not fully solved the issue that we are having pressed on us from the legal side, it looks like that by the start of next week we should have things squared off."
"if things continue to move forward smoothly next week"
The legal issue isn't even resolved yet.... Everything after that about launch etc.. Is just fluff. None of it matters because the issue that has been holding back the CA IS STILL THERE....
Even though it isn’t resolved just yet it’s 95% there. I regrettably didn’t say that it would be resolved for certain but given how things have gone for us recently I have no doubts that the countdown will be spinning up next week.
Either works, though one allows paypal which may be more suitable. Somebody will have to correct me on which site allows it.
Xsolla has better customer support overall and we are able to refund beyond the 10 day window Indiegogo provides. If you’re not so certain then Xsolla may be the better choice for you.
not clearly worded on the update, partners will be under nda as well

I do not agree with a lot of your statements here, but that still doesn't mean you haven't made a great case.
I know that many community members are waiting to see additional "live" gameplay, you don't have to look any further than all the posts and comments on this sub reddit. I truly believe that if they just did a quick 5-minute stream showing off the CURRENT state of the game, it would kill a lot of these threads and the people speculating.
Again, we all have our own opinions on the subject and I will respect everyone equally.
One of those things that sounds great in theory, but when you’ve been doing this long enough, doesn’t fly in practice. Clips, streams, 5 min video, 20 minute video, doesn’t matter. People will put their frustration about not having the game toward something else.
Nothing we put out will ever be enough until the game is in people’s hands. So we are focusing solely on doing that and just asking for more patience. I personally appreciate the civility of this discussion, whatever your views.
Is it too late to back them? Just found out about this and would love to get in the CA
We will have backing options open for the duration of the Closed Alpha at these sites!
IndieGoGo: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/dead-matter
QI store: https://qisoftware.ca/store
Will that depend on your actions or will events behind our control shape future interactions?
You know I don't leak fun details like that
