Could I get an answer on this?

Post by The Kraken »

I bought this game way back, before you guys had a release on steam. I went all in and supported the game with the then maximum amount, which assured me that I'd be getting plenty of goodies, including my name in the game.

I check my account on your guy's website, it says my membership is "Membership: Mining Drill Operator", and now if you wanted to buy the game, you only have access to "Transport Belt Repair Man"

So, my question is as follows:

1: Will I still be gaining the goodies I paid for way back then? Such as having my name displayed in the game.

Cheers.

Sigh...I don't see my name. I tried Ctl+F searching for it, too.
