[Ilnor]

All the youtube videos

It's driving me nut to not be able to play it

THE DEMO IS NOT ENOUGH

[Hanse00]

The guys are working on getting direct sales up on the website, but it's not something you do in a minute or two.
For now, please be patient, and make sure to add your email to the list at http://www.factorio.com/preorder-notification

You'll be able to get it soon

I tried adding it, Says "Invalid Email"
I used opera / Firefox
Thought it was the browser
I'll just fiendishly check this website and play the demo over and over and over

3rd time i beat it with 50 satellites running full power
Lotsa boilers !
Killed all the creeper spawners and turrets as well as gaining their alien artifacts (FOR WHAT !?) It's a mystery what they do

All i know is people out there have the game, Let me buy your copy
Or can't they like, let me give them money direct ?

[Ilnor]

I just talked to a programmer friend of mine
He get's paid to code the backend on websites

From what i've been told it's about a days worth of work even as short as a few hours for someone who's done it before
Do you guys want his help ?
Something like this shouldn't take a week or two

[Hanse00]

I can't tell you what the exact reason is for it to take some time, all I can do is quote slpwnd that

I missed the Indiegogo campaign. Is there a way for me to get the alpha?
There is not at the moment, but we hate seeing people eager to play our game and not being able to. Therefore, we are working on preparing an alpha preorder directly on our website.

Patience is indeed a virtue, you'll be able to get it soon enough

I check this website about 15 times a day at the moment, Way more than my e-mail
I'm sure i'll be one of the first to know when it's out

I did this in the meantime https://forums.factorio.com/forum/vie ... ?f=8&t=503

While the coding for adding a payment page to a website is indeed trivial stuff there are other things to consider. Depending on the payment service you might well have to write backend code to interface with the merchant system that will be used, in practice this will often take weeks/months of work before the merchant will approve especially if it is to handle credit card payments. If it is going to be through a merchant system such as paypal or amazon web services, you still need to get the business side of things set up to handle the influx of customers.

I am sure they are working as hard as they can and as fast as they can to get the game out into peoples hands, it's just not always as black and white as slapping a single webpage up with a paypal link on it unfortunately. I must say though, the wait will most certainly be worth it, the game is incredible already even in alpha. The demo doesn't even come close to doing it justice.

If you can get your game on the next humble bundle that could be a good way to get attention as well.
