RELEASE DATE SCOOTS BACK… SLIGHTLY (05/04/2012)
Sit down for this one. We have some sad news. We were feverishly working towards release and oh so close to it that it was both tasty and terrifying. Over the course of the last few days we have had a string of unfortunate events tackle on us like little anchors that ultimately have spread us too thin. We sadly have to miss our awesome release date and push the game back by a mere fourteen (14) days and will be releasing on Friday, May 4th, 2012 (05/04/2012).

We are extremely sad with this as it has been a long journey and all we want to do is punch Raptors in the face with you. So today is all about making that wound hurt a bit less by giving you gifts and love in the form of media, trailers and more.



REVIEW & PRESS COPIES
The Review Build of the game will be available and distributed out on Monday, April 30th, 2012. If you are interested in receiving Review Keys and Promotional Codes to hand out as giveaways please contact me directly at:
dprassel@spiralgamestudios.com

*NOTE ABOUT COMPETITIONS
There are already some competitions going around to earn a free copy of ORION: Dino Beatdown and these are still in effect. It’s just that the reward will be slightly behind. So continue going for it and I hope you all win - even though that is not possible.



VIDDOC 002 - “WORLD OF HURT”
Our second video documentary has been unleashed! “World of Hurt” goes over all of the Player Classes and Gear in the game including the three (3) Player Stores (Barracks, Armory, Garage) and the Weapons, Upgrades, Perks and Vehicles you can buy in the game. Think of this as a video apology letter for our short but sad delay:





On top of this we are releasing new official screenshots relating to all of the Player Classes and Gear located in the Day 1 version of ORION: Dino Beatdown:


















The third video documentary is coming out on Wednesday and will focus on all of the Dinosaurs and Worlds in the commercial release of the game.




KICKSTARTER COPIES
As previously promised we are going to be hooking up EVERY single person that donated to our KickStarter campaign. This includes everyone that donated $1 - $1,000.

We are going to be distributing your keys via your KickStarter email address and we will be doing this in 4 waves (of 100 - alphabetically) leading up to the release. This will allow for early play time as a thank you and an appreciation for your kindness and support. First wave will be going out on Monday, April 30th, 2012.



FORMER DEVELOPER COPIES
Another great program we will be doing is the Remembrance Program. We are offering FREE copies of the game to any and all former developers that worked on ORION in any form or way. This even includes the heay pre-production period when it was under the ‘INCOMING’ IP (1997-2004). Over the years some of us lose contact and others vanish so hopefully this finds some of you

While this is sad news indeed...
I am very willing to wait another day or two to play this awesomeness

Aww man, seriosly. One good thing tho, this free's me up to play the beta for Guns of Icarus Online

But as said. I'd really like to see how's the HUD looks more

Will Video Doc. (3) be released today, or next Wednesday?

Next Wednesday - April 25th, 2012.

Dammit not this again..

*Goes to the end of the line*

K Thanks, can't wait!

Alphabetically eyy? Well atleast I don't start with Z

Thanks for the info, sad to see a delay in a game I was anticipating quite a bit, but I can understand why.

At least there's another VidDoc to tie us over while we wait.

Keep up the good work!

It's a good idea to polish off your very first game so there are bearly anythng wrong with it.

Wait till your rolling with dough before you even attempt to pull a bethesda premature/bug ridden release.
