KickStarter gifts (finally) being sent out!

It is with great pleasure to announce that the KickStarter gifts will (finally) start being sent out over the course of late this week and carrying over into next week.

We apologize for this taking so long but we were infinitely busy with a handful of things including GDC, PAX, internal deadlines we can’t even talk about and some upcoming news headed your way in the next week or two (keep your eyes peeled).

T-SHIRTS & ARTWORK

The shirts have finally arrived!  This is what was largely holding up the gifts.  We will be obtaining the packaging materials in the next few days and putting together all of the gifts and sending out.  To make the wait a bit easier we have taken photographic evidence of both the signed artwork and the printed T-Shirts:

CUSTOM CONTENT

We are pleased to also showcase some of the content created exclusively for the KickStarter event.  This first reveal is for all of the $1,000 contributors who will have access to the super exclusive White & Black Multiplayer Armors:

MULTIPLAYER BETA

For all contributors that donated at least $10.00 you can expect some upcoming details regarding the ORION: Prelude PC Multiplayer Beta.  Look for this in the next few weeks.

OUR FOREIGN FRIENDS

We are sadly unable to ship materialistic gifts to our friends across the seas.  This includes the T-Shirts and artwork.  We’ve developed other prizes to fill in the lack of these gifts.  This includes digital copies of these artworks as well as exclusive in-game skins for ALL vehicles and for BOTH teams.  

There are three confirmed vehicles for each team which brings it to a grand total of 6.  You will have the option of using either the retail skin or switching it up to the “We are sorry skin” which will be even cooler and allows you to say that you are cooler than all of your state-side friends.

If you are a friend outside of the United States please email ( info@spiralgamestudios.com ) to get more details.  Again, we apologize.

ORION Spreads Her Legs

And opens up! We are pleased to announce that ORION: Source Beta is officially Open-Source! We have been talking about this behind doors for a little bit now and it is finally time. We are extremely humbled to how far we have come and without Valve, Source, the Source SDK and the release of the ORION: Source Multiplayer Beta - it wouldn’t have been possible.

We would like to give back to the Source Modding Community. You may have noticed our Firearm’s acquisition April Fools joke where they featured some of our old dinosaur content in the media - well now you can do the same.

WHAT IS INCLUDED?

Game Models
Game Materials
Source Code (05/2009)

WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ASSETS?

ABOUT THE SOURCE CODE:
Sadly, we need to make a few disclaimers. First and most importantly - the Source Code. I unfortunately had a hard drive crap out in late 2009. This means that the Source Code included is the source code from roughly 5-6 months before the first public release. So much of it is dated and will probably appear broken, however, after much discussion we figured that someone out there may find some use from it - so we included it anyways.


GENERAL DISCLAIMER:
There is of course bound to be a few glitches here and there. There also may be some missing content. If we stumble upon any additional assets or materials or source code elements, we will make an update and release it. Let us know any problems you may encounter.

This is a (for the most part) un-organized collection of the files. You talented folk will be responsible for decompiling and reconstruction of the files. This is simply our permission to use it in your mods and products - those of which have no financial gain.


HAVE QUESTIONS?
If you have any questions or need help with any of the content, we ask that you refer all questions to:


USE RIGHTS:
