[quote who="ZombieGhost" reply="1" id="2225876"] I'd also like to see a feature that allows you to invite people on your friends list to the game you're in and reserve private slots for them.[/quote] That would be nice as well. :) There's another feature that could be included.

Reply to You know there is an exclusive forum dedicated to Demigod? Why dont you use it? in Stardock Games Stardock Forums

I'm glad you mentioned that because I was kind of wondering the same thing before. Then I used Impulse's blog feature in order to write about my experiences with Demigod . There's a pane on the right side for you to select which forum you want to place your blog/thread. There was only two approximate options: Demigod journals (on which I was unable to post there) and Stardock games. Nothing else w

Here's a gesture of appreciation for all of Stardock's hard work and communication with its customers and fans. In my view, a bad situation with Demigod morphed into very good PR.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="18" id="2177840"] But, since Demigod doesn't use GOO, it does not apply there.[/quote] I was under the impression that a publisher would be able to choose which part of GOO it would want active. Just the DRM, the second-hand marketplace, across-platform compatibility or any of those combinations. That way, Stardock would still retain a no DRM policy with the boxed versions of a self-published game, but still have the other GOO capabilities ov

[quote who="Peace Phoenix" reply="7" id="2177224"] . I'm sure Frogboy will have some time *cough* to respond to their questions about GOO. After reading the thread on Prism, they may think that Elemental uses GOO because Brad told that Elemental will implement a functionnality available with GOO, the ability to have used license. This is point #2 in that thread http://forums.demigodthegame.com/344320 and could be read as using GOO in Elemental to achieve that. I

Reclaim Your Game has been doing an overall good job so far. Everyone is able to make mistakes now and then. I think that most users in this thread are replying with valid points, but I'm not too fond of the more exacerbated approach that some choose to use... Anyway, I gave myself the trouble to *finally* create an account in RYG's forum and started a thread about the subject in question there: http://www.the-prism.com/index.php?topic=2261.msg25726#msg25726 Feel

Reply to When pure isn’t pure in Demigod Journals Stardock Forums

Assumptions are a bitch... I'm saying this to all parties involved. I actually appreciate what both Reclaim Your Game and Stardock have been doing. The question pertains Demigod and DRM. So, for some reason the questions didn't get to Brad. It happens. RYG thus places their comments, but Brad does not agree to them. No problem. It's ALWAYS a good time for communication and dialogue, right? Since the main protagonists are already engaged in this thread, how about if Frogboy just answer

You should be able to find the patch notes in "View History" (when you right-click on the game icon in Impulse). At the moment there's a thank you note and troubleshooting instructions... Someone mixed the Readme.txt file to where the patch notes should be... There's a lot of attention to Demigod already. Frogboy had been writing daily status reports. Someone should take that as a cue to add the patch notes to where they belong. Err... of course if t

Reply to Demigod: First week anniversary status report in Demigod Journals Stardock Forums

Just tried multiplayer for the first time. Tournament, as Oak, light side. Here's my reaction: W00t!!! That's one heck of a game you have there. And my team actually won! Now, apart from fully-fledged MMO's, I usually don't like multiplayer. I steered clear from DOTA and most DMs, TDMs, CTFs and whatnot. But here I was, learning how to play, on-the-fly, and actually being able to understand what to do... and having fun... and winning the match?!?!
