Wow thank you for that generous offer! Currently downloading, but since its 500 MB its going to take some time.

Just out of curiosity: Do you mind to share some information on how much copies you sold?

The game is wonderful overall, I played it about 2 hours yesterday evening. But imho you did a big mistake while publishing it.

I remember that I`ve played the Demo back then. It contained the first two maps of the full game. Problem: The first two maps are the most boring of the whole game. While the first map just doesn`t look that good, map 2 ist absolutly awful (gameplay & graphics). Mainly it consits of two different rooms repeating endlessly. That was the main reason for not buying it on release.

Now I`m in level 5. And all I can say is: All maps since level 3 are awesome. The two space levels are great fun and look so much better than the first two maps! And the jungle map, well it doesn`t look that good, but it`s great fun because of the rocket launcher mechs. I`m absolutly motivated to play the whole game. I like the mech upgrade system and the gameplay. Like in the old Mech Warrior days.

I personally don`t understand why you didn`t make a demo showing the real best of your game. Parts of Preva are awesome, but you showed the most boring level I`ve seen so far in PreVa (level 2). Also the gameplay: It`s so much more fun to fly through space than walking slowly through bad-looking corridors. I really feel sad now that I didn`t get the chance to mention this. To mention, that PreVa is a fun game.

Overall: One of the best Acknex titles. I really like it from the perspective of a gamer. See you in PreVa.. laugh

Thanks for those kind words Ron. We knew we had made that mistake after we released it and started noticing a trend. We fixed that error with Kino One I believe(and if you haven't played it, i highly recommend getting the demo), and we plan to have that problem fixed in PreVa EX. We've got some good stuff going and plan to make it even better. As for the comment about PreVa being one of the best on A6, I actually do agree, although the graphics aren't fantastic and we could've done better if we made it with our Retrospective attitudes. The game deserves more, and it's story has so much potential. We plan to unlock that potential with PreVa EX.

As for sales, I won't disclose anything, but it did ok I guess.

But anyone who is a fan of anime you're welcome to join. We're holding a contest and we'll be posting up the prize soon, only members will be entered. I'll post it up here when we put up the details.

Why don`t you post PreVa in the Gallery? I think you would get more audience than in the Morbius..[b][/b]
