The Dream Of Rowan – Pre-order Campaign
There are a few downsides with the development of Rowan, the game still feels a bit rough and it does have some pretty steep requirements too
AmiTen Software has been around for a while now, and most Amiga people have probably heard about them in one way or another by now, for sure. One of the reasons is most likely because of their upcoming game ” The Dream Of Rowan “, a game i have mentioned before on this very site, even.
The game began as a standard development project before being launched on Kickstarter, where it unfortunately failed to meet its funding goal. Fortunately, the developers continued working on it, and over the past two years—with a lot of on-and-off effort—the game has undergone significant changes, especially over the last year.
AmiTen has chosen to celebrate the upcoming release on December 25th, 2017, with a solid, playable demo and a pre-order campaign. This includes a special edition of the game and a personal thank-you message from the team, likely featured in the credits.
I have taken the liberty of including a video of the demo; the recording was done by Per Ola Eriksson. – I am sure he won’t mind that.
The game will be available in two versions:
- A Digital Download version, $17,90 USD/EUR.
- A Boxed version, DVD Case with Printed Manual, $23,90 + P&P/Shipping.
The demo can be downloaded from here: http://rowan.amiten.es/ROWAN_DEMO.zip, but for some reason, i am still not able to visit the website at all. If you have problems pre-ordering or whatever, then you can email Johnny Acevedo at clubamiten@gmail.com.
There are a few downsides with the development of Rowan, the game still feels a bit rough and it does have some pretty steep requirements too, it will need a 68030 CPU to work which means that most Amiga’s won’t be able to run it out of the box, but yes it works on all Amiga’s if you got a 030,040 or 060 CPU in it (yes even my CD32 with 030..).
The Dream Of Rowan is one of many ongoing projects on the Amiga and while the hardware requirements are pretty high here i still can’t emphasize enough how important it is to support every app and game that get released on the Amiga, the only way to show the developers out there that we want stuff is by supporting it/them, yes even if you have to buy a lot of things you don’t want or need right now, support the community and bring life to the Amiga again!.
As of now, i still don’t know if the game will be available in other Amiga stores or online downloadable services (like Amiboing/AmiStore, etc..)
The game have many bugs that broke gameplay,the prive is high for a low quality Game made in amos, even the digital download don’t have the manual included. Support the amiga yes… But every un the right place. Sorry for the people that order a low quality game and spent money on It.
I will never feel sorry for supporting an Amiga game.
Your arguments are the same as always, people will always bitch and moan, i bought Wolfenstein II (ps4) for 18 quid yesterday but that doesn’t mean i should get rowan for free
I like it ….
Completed the game todsy, very easy game but i enjoyed it.
The game is now out, it sold out very quickly and as of now it is impossible to order a boxed copy of the game.
