Yeah, I did an update on the server and it broke one of the scripts. I’m manually getting your account in shape now, and I’ll send you mail from support at spyparty.com in a sec. Sorry about the trouble!

I registered, payed for the game, then clicked a link that said return to spyparty. It says i have payed for the game but i forgot to do step 3, will i still be able to play without paying again? or is there a place i can go to play now? P.S i have already checked my email and have not received a confirmation email.

Thanks! It’s C++ for the code, Maya and Zbrush for the models, basically. Lots of smaller tools, but those are the main ones.

What type of software did you use to create the game, it looks fantastic. (I am talking about the newer levels)

Yeah, their 5000th and 1000th games. I dunno, I just started calling them birthdays and it stuck. Plus, that makes it a Birthday Party! :)

What do you mean by “Birthday” games? (1k/5k being 1,000 & 5,000 games played or maybe game wins?)

Why aren’t they known as a celebratory “Party” game, to tie-in with the game’s name? ;)

I agree with this payment model, just splitting hairs here. Years ago I paid $15 for Minecraft alpha, which was not even half developed. I still played the heck out of it, and it was well worth it. Now that payed early access is a big thing, many people are becoming confused with games that use that model but are aren’t calling it that; instead using the familiar Alpha, Beta, and Demo terms that are the norm. I just think in that in the eyes of the average consumer, all four of those terms are different things, even though a pre-release demo or pre-release game access is pretty much synonymous with Beta. its semantics but it confuses people, and that irritates them. I do think there’s a destination, at least one that’s forming on the consumer end, and developers should probably adopt change our naming conventions to meet that standard; I don’t like saying “payed early access beta” either, but that’s because it seems redundant and less appealing to consumers, but they don’t like being drawn in, and feeling baited either– just my pov, so I would just suggest dropping beta. And calling it paid early access, unless theres simply not enough game to justify charging for, and then it should probably still be alpha/kickstarter.
I’m just sad that I missed the original invite somehow, and that’s just because I have to wait to contribute. :). I’m super excited for this game.

One side note about Mojang, totally off the point. ( They didn’t keep good records at the time, and I used a- now expired student email account to register, so when they recently did some kind of forced reactivation for new servers or what-not. That all now has effectively ended my love for the game, because I supported them, and now I can’t play. They insist on either needed the original email or the some activation code which they began implementing later. I’ll be super happy if they ever respond to my e-mail concerning that, sent months ago… Anyway I suggest you be a little more responsible for your backers. Good luck!
