Hello everyone. Our Store Page is now live, and we have T-Minus one week until launch. I want to address a few anticipated questions here.
33% Discount for StarDrive 1 Owners
Everyone who owns a copy of StarDrive 1 on launch day will be eligible for a 33% Discount on StarDrive 2 - both the regular version and the digital deluxe version. This should appear automatically on the StarDrive 2 store page for you. I belive that Valve will also be sending a direct message to owners of StarDrive 1 informing you of the discount.
Digital Deluxe Version
The digital deluxe version is a lot of fun, and I hope you'll consider spending a few extra bucks to get some of the great extras I've put together for you. I think the real gem of the pack is the Paint Job pack, which allows you to change the skins on your ships in-game. It's purely cosmetic but I think it adds a lot of fun to be able to get a few really unique looks.
Also included is a Design Journal. When I made StarDrive 1 & 2, I used a big Portrait Sketchbook that I bought at an art store to hold all my design notes. For the deluxe version, I went through and photograpphed every page and made a nice digital version for you to check out. It's an interesting artifact of development.
We've also included an artbook that showcases the art design of StarDrive 2, with my own commentary added on how and why we made various art decisions.
Finally, we've got a great selection of musical tracks from both StarDrive 1 and StarDrive 2 that I think you'll enjoy both in and out of the game!
Allrighty then. One week!
