Title: Cortex Command Giveaway
Post by: scancode on August 26, 2008, 09:58 PM: [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Cortex Command is a side-scrolling shooter with strategy elements. For the indie-minded people out there, think Metal Slug meets Gusanos. Combine this with the good moddability, now nearly perfect with the new Lua integration, and you have a game that will keep you entertained for a very, very long time.

I developed a new licensing system for the game, and was given perission to hand out a few licenses in my favourite forum.

Curses! I'll just have to do a mouser and wander away for a while until the dust settles.
Back to my day job at Hormel Foods Corp.

AND, LET THE FORUM BEWARE, MY AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM IS BROKEN!

It has a bug in it of the original, literal kind. The little swine crawled into a relay and... pouf!

This mousering stuff is a dangerous business. :o

P.S. i also noticed that you also have coded a helper utility for this game: ccModManager (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=9713.msg100790#msg100790).

/me shakes his magic 8-ball.

"My sources say no."
Title: Re: Cortex Command Giveaway
Post by: Shades on September 07, 2008, 01:10 AM: Well...LanTan asks for some license, so he could visit the site from the creators, leave money there and in that case he should get some license from them.

The free ones were all given away as I understand from this thread...

So Deozaam's magic 8-ball needs a new battery I think ;)

EDIT: proofreading is a must.

just curious how is it going to be done? for instance i had installed the game on a PC which has no internet connection. will this be seen as not registered?
Title: Re: Cortex Command Giveaway
Post by: Shades on September 07, 2008, 08:44 PM: If I remember correctly, there was communication with home base when I used the license.

Still having fun with it ;D

you should get a feedreader (https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=496.0) that filters keywords and sounds an alarm whenever the words like "free" and "giveaway" are found. ;)

I wonder why people have such a hard time actually reading the posts? Even the first post in the thread?

You're only required to have at least 1 (one) non-spam post. Keys will be handed out on a first-come, first serve basis.
In other words, you have to be a "contributing member", not juts signing up to get a free license key.

Licenses remaining: ~~10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1~~ ZERO
In other words, there's no more licenses left to give.

Title: Re: Cortex Command Giveaway
Post by: scancode on October 12, 2008, 09:44 PM: IMPORTANT

Guys, due to an upcoming change in the licensing system, I'd need you to send scancode (at) gmail.com an e-mail stating your billing e-mail address and your actual e-mail address, or you will have problems playing future builds.

You will get a new key.

Thanks for your understanding.

Oh. So we need to tell you the billing e-mail address you used when you gave us the keys, and also tell you our real e-mail address that we use. :)

I'm a little slow, but I got it.
