got myself a copy of the game as well now… steam just made the purchase too comfortable not to get it.
i wouldn’t even have known about this software gem if it weren’t for rps so pat yourself on the back for making me spend money :)

Freudian, right-click on the game, go to “properties,” click on the “set launch options…” button, and write “-fullscreen” (without the quotes) in the box.

Are both games exclusively playable in windowed mode? I can’t seem to find a way to maximise game.(just bought through Steam)

Unless you paid the extra £1.99/equivalent to the download host, you can’t re-download it. Paid for download rights are the worst form of non-DRM DRM…

if my purchase is going to be strictly digital, I -have- to be able to redownload the game at my convenience.

Unfortunately that’s a Plimus thing. If anyone ever contacts me because their download link has expired, I re-activate it for them as quickly as humanly possible – usually within minutes, unless I’m asleep.

The games have no DRM whatsoever, and only a minor annoyance of waiting up to 8 hours should you need to re-download.

I’ll look into getting the natural lifespan of the download extended, but I don’t think it’s possible.

I’d love to have an alternate solution to this, but until the studio’s mega-rich enough to have its own delivery system, I’m bound by a third party’s rules, and will simply have to continue bending them as much as I can to offer a decent service.

When I moved from Laptop to PC I just asked the Zombie Cow guys to send me another download link and in an hour or so I got a new link, so yeah, fuck paying that 1,99 :P

@malkav11

Definitely understand the burn there – I’ve bought off Zombie Cow direct, before the game was released on Steam. Wasn’t aware of any “extended download subscription” purchase option at that point and my download link has long since expired. (I do keep the setup executable safely stored offline in my drives, though.)

Oh well, will be getting it through Steam anyway. The devs could use the bucks, I gather.

Good exposure for Zombie Cow, but makes me wonder how Valve prioritise indie submissions. There are loads of great indie devs that have been crying out for inclusion on Steam’s catalogue for years without so much as a response from Valve. Like Positech and PuppyGames.

See, that’s exactly what I was afraid of, previously. I had every desire to just send them the five bucks directly (back when that was the only option), but if my purchase is going to be strictly digital, I -have- to be able to redownload the game at my convenience. And no, I won’t pay extra to secure “download rights”. Having been burned by that before with indie games, I was leery. Fortunately, now it’s on Steam and I have purchased it sans remorse.
