I am curious to know if there will be a retail box version of the game or is download the only version we will get. I am old school and would love the boxed version to add to my collection of games I have played.
If there is a boxed version will it be sent to us or can we purchase it seperately.
From Kilsin:
"We don't have any information on this yet, we will be able to speak about this more as we get closer to release..."

From Aradune:
"While I can't commit to anything like that, I too really hope we'll be able to do something like that as well. And I have my 'gamer' and 'collector' hats on when I say that, not necessarily my 'developer' or 'business man' hats."
"In the 'olde days' of channel marketing (e.g. placing boxes into the 'channel' or stores) it would take several months for the publisher and developer to see that money so plans had to be made as to where the revenue to keep the team going during these 'dark months' would come from. And even though we don't plan on having channel marketing (outside of perhaps offering a deluxe version of the game in a box), we are creating our financial models such that we do have money to keep the team intact during this period."
"I like the 'option' of paying more for a deluxe or collectors version that included something special for us collector types."
