I used Direct2drive sometimes and they have book I on there so I will send them an email asking if they are going to have Book II.
Yes, buying it directly from us gives us the biggest piece of pie, but please don't let that stop any of you from emailing (or posting on their forum) that you want to see it on Steam, Impulse, Direct2Drive, etc. These sites are hard for an indie to get on (look how long it took before they accepted Book 1) but it is the best way to gain exposure to new fans, and sales that we would never get otherwise.

A couple of questions. Since you're putting all three versions on the DVD, are you shipping the DVD after the May 26th release date for the Mac and Linux versions?

Also, is there a finite amount of DVD disks being produced? I'm asking because I'm going to be out of town on the 12th and won't be able to order the game until a week later. I'm actually going to be in your area attending my daughters graduation from SMU. YEA!!!

Correct. You can buy your DVD starting on the 12th, and you can get your Reg Code right away. But, the DVDs will not go to press until sometime around the 26th- add in 2 weeks for replication- another week to process and ship. It will be mid-June before most people start getting their DVDs.

We will carry a larger inventory of DVDs this time than we did with Book 1. Also, we can order in slightly lower quantities from the new replicator we are using- this means it will be easier to keep discs in stock because we don't have to purchase such large quantities every time.
