Have you guys received anything yet? I didn't fully understand what I was doing when the Kickstarter hit its goal. Did I have to go there and choose something? I looked at it a couple months ago but it was all weird.

Head to the reward page. If you backed the project, check your email.

You have to create an account on the reward page and get your shit.

Typically I would point out how you're old and technology has passed you bye, but their site sucks...
On the left hit Rewards.
On the next page on the right it lists out your points. There are also buttons for Badge, Keys, Downloads, etc.
If you're grabbing the original trilogy, you should be able to get that. If you're looking for the original trilogy remastered...those don't seem to be available?
If you earned Wasteland 2 or one of the other games, it should be on your main rewards page.
I'm not fucking with the spend points portion as I'm fine with whatever package I signed up for...or is that not how the points work?

Exactly. I have no idea how this is supposed to work. It almost looks like if I don't take some sort of action, they will never send me anything even though I already gave them money. But I don't know.

Yep. That's exactly it. You have to select your rewards through the reward site.

No. That's fucking stupid.
Something was paid for and agreed upon. He shouldn't have to do all this leg work to get his shit.
I'm fine with doing that for the digital download stuff, but for the physical items, that should be handled without any further input from him.
I realize what they're actually doing is offering people the opportunity to change up what they signed up for, thus the points, but even that sucks.
I want what I was promised. Give it to me or refund my money. There is no option C.
And back to the Original Trilogy, the Remastered version is not yet out, so I'll wait until that hits.

Most of the crowd wanted the chance to change up their rewards. It also provides a way for them to centralize all the rewards they pulled together from various places and associate them all with proper email addies.

Bitches. They put out the emulated version based on DosBox.

Ok so how do I cash in my 7300 points for the thing I big for? It's already listed in the "Your Rewards" tab, am I done?
Also, it looks like "The Bard's Tale classic trilogy (emulated)" has been added to my reward tier for "free."

Goto rewards. There could be some waiting for you. You'll probably have points you have to spend at the shop. I think it's 1 for every cent you kickstarted.

Like I said, I have 0 points unused, and my thing is under "My Rewards," NOT the "Shop" tab. Looks like I am set?
AGAIN.......... this shit shouldn't be so ambiguous. I've used shopping carts before.

And I assume the game isn't written yet, since they just got their funding?

0 points unused? Then if you've got the reward you want already selected and have all your shipping info and such filled in, you should be good.

I know what they're doing, and it's nice, but at the same time, the system they've setup is anything but logical. It's a mess and not explained well. It doesn't flow naturally.

It's okay. Understanding good UI design isn't important when making video games. I'm sure it's not any sort of omen or anything.
