No, the co-op play is local only. Still, it's a wonderful game that is worth every penny of the $9.99 it cost.HalfEmpty wrote:only question I have at this moment is 'is there network play via steam?' IE, if I grab this on steam and my buddies have it can I play w/ them online?
I'm probably gonna start a steam account to buy this game, no shit. I'd been anticipating it since the trailer and am glad you guys got it out to the public as quickly as you did

Re: Jamestown Lives!
I got it from steam at a slight discount near launch. It's a wonderful game, well worth $10 if there are no more sales available.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
^ true, plus im intrested in the new content the devs are working on http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/s ... ?t=2034674
Re: Jamestown Lives!
I picked up a copy of this at PAX this weekend (the devs were on hand demonstrating this as part of the PAX 10.) For people who bought copies direct from them on the show floor they had an interesting way of distributing the codes. Maybe if I get a chance I can get some pictures and post them.
Still need to get used to this a bit more, but definitely enjoying it so far. The soundtrack is one of the best I've heard in quite a while.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
I bought it at pax. I've never used steam before-- I can't figure out how to use the code! Can anyone help me?

Re: Jamestown Lives!
Go to "Games > Activate a product on Steam" and enter your code there. That should do it. Print the recipe if you want as well.
They were selling physical copies of the game or just keys?
edit: and what about the soundtrack? Is it finally out?

Thanks! I'll try it. They were just selling keys in little wax sealed packages. don't know about soundtrackObserver wrote:Go to "Games > Activate a product on Steam" and enter your code there. That should do it. Print the recipe if you want as well.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
hell, I've been busting my ass trying to figure it out on the steam website, rather than the steam program I'd downloaded
Re: Jamestown Lives!
The copies sold at PAX were, as noted above, Steam keys that came in little wax-sealed envelopes, which came with a nice little "letter" to Sir Walter Raleigh (the protagonist of the game) from the benefactor who helped him escape from the Tower of London. Again, I'll try to post some pictures later, it's kind of an interesting little piece on its own.
No soundtrack, but I attended the PAX 10 panel one of the Jamestown devs was involved in, and he said that it is still in the works.

Definitely looking forward to the DLC.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
Are there any buttons I can press during the continue screen to accelerate or skip the countdown timer? It just uses a continue no matter what I press.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
Heh... Steam-ship. I see what they did there. Neat way to do physical copies, especially with such a small game; you really don't need a CD or anything.Vexorg wrote:(snip)

Why is there even a continue screen? Can you turn off continues like most arcade games?Jeneki wrote:Are there any buttons I can press during the continue screen to accelerate or skip the countdown timer? It just uses a continue no matter what I press.
Re: Jamestown Lives!
I wondered about that as well. If they're going to force you to use continues anyway (3 credits with 3 lives) and not even reset your score when you continue, it may as well be a 9-life game to begin with.alastair jack wrote: Why is there even a continue screen?

Re: Jamestown Lives!

Re: Jamestown Lives!
I just bought the game. I'm having a blast, and this afternoon the gf is coming over to play it too.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
I need some help with this game. I'm trying to run it on my PC that's in my cab. It's got a decent video card, the only thing that might be a little unusual is that I'm running in 640x480 resolution. When I try to run it crashes with this error:
Also I really need to run this without Steam. It just causes too many pop-ups even with everything disabled that I can possibly disable in the settings. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
I finally 1cc'd this on Legendary. That goal was just about perfect for me - it was a challenge, and it took practice, but it didn't overwhelm my limited attention span and free time.
The biggest improvement in play early on was a Glengarry Glen Ross tip: ABV. A...always. B...be. V...vaunting.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
what ship did you use?
Re: Jamestown Lives!
I just bought this on Steam too. Fantastic game!
Re: Jamestown Lives!
I just posted an hour long interview I did with Final Form Games (who created Jamestown) over on the Racketboy website. I don't usually spam the podcast here, but I thought this one might be of some interest: http://www.racketboy.com/retro/2011/09/ ... games.html
Re: Jamestown Lives!
DLC is slated for Nov. 10 release.
http://www.finalformgames.com/jamestown/treason/
Looks like at least one new ship with a special that launches explosive barrels that can be detonated at will (sorta like the bomber in vanilla JT). I would be surprised if there weren't a whole new set of levels too.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
Great news. That ship looks fun to use and hopefully itll be faster than the slowass beam ship as this was my biggest gripe with the game, and I wasnt too keen on the other shiptypes.
Saying that I played this game after picking up my new arcade stick, and the gunner ship is now fun to play as I hated it with the dpad. I need to check out the charge and bomber ship types with my stick.
Still the game could do with a faster spread shot ship for the hardest difficulty

Re: Jamestown Lives!
Can't help you with Steam, but the Runtime error implies you might not have the latest Visual C++ Runtime libraries. You'd be looking for the "Visual C++ Runtime Libraries Restributable Installer" or something similar to install. Microsoft's website will have it.dmauro wrote:I need some help with this game.

Re: Jamestown Lives!
It's not out yet! I thought it'd be coming at 1 p.m. EST on Steam like a lot of games do but no luck.
Re: Jamestown Lives!
Apparently... no. And it's really only 3 ships.Avatar Ignis wrote:I remembered the 10th of november!

It's out now at $2. Doesn't seem to be working yet, though.
