Contagion Kickstarter Update, Progress, and Information!


Contagion Kickstarter and Full Trailer!

Current Progress: 16% (34 hours after Launch of Kickstarter)

Important Information:

  • If I pledge $15 (or more) will I be able to play right now? :: Unfortunately no. Kickstarter doesn't actually charge anyone until the project has reached completion which in our case is October 13th, 2013
  • When do I get my copy of the game then? :: For those who pledged $15 or more will receive their game as soon as the Kickstarter funds are cleared which is some time before October 25th giving you a head start.
  • Why not just wait till the Official Release on Steam? :: We launched Kickstarter because we truly need the support of the community to help us pay off the last of the license fees, help us reach more interested gamers increasing our player base which is a win/win for all interested parties, and finally help with server costs to smooth things on release. Also again you'll receive all previous tiers but more importantly a head start once Kickstarter charges clear.
  • What happens if you don't reach your goal? :: If this happens no one will be charged or receive their tier rewards and we will receive nothing for all our efforts. That said we started this up knowing there were no guarantees and will do everything in our power to make sure we release on time October 25th with Early Access.
  • I'm a huge ZP:S fan and have played 9000 hours on it. Can I have a free key? :: We love the enthusiasm and loyalty our community has shown us but if we gave every ZP:S fan a free key we'd go out of business. Sadly this is not an option.
  • Will you be passing out more Preliminary Beta Tester Keys :: For right now no. We are doing our best to focus on Developing Contagion, Updating Kickstarter, and preparing for release.

We really appreciate the crazy amount of support we've received already! It is our hope that more of you will join in and help us get this done and done right. Thank you
