Sorry, but I really LOVE the cover, no, I ADORE it
It has some early-Psygnosis atmosphere, 'reminds me the the guy in red suit of the "Bratacas" cover...

The game looks gorgeous, not to mention that...

I'm really impressed with how the visuals have turned out. Very neat!

Hello TIGSource!

While you were looking the other way, we launched the Infested Planet beta!  Now you can check the game out yourself.  Anyone who preorders the game gets instant access to the beta version.

Why Does this topic get that little feedback?
Its an awesome game, and i loved the Attack of The paper zombies.
In fact i would have "preorderd/buyed" the game if i did have enougth money on my paypal.

@Alex Vostrov Great game!

My goodness, mimic spawn is a killer!

I love this a lot. I'm trying to beat "Ruins" now, but it's pretty rough going. Glad to see that BP work differently than Paper Zombies; losing doesn't feel so hopeless, now.

Congratulations on the Beta Release.
Like I said, I'll buy it sometime soon.

Also I'm somewhat surprised by the lack of reactions on this one.

Welcome to the first ever Infested Planet Patch Day!  This one’s mostly about housekeeping.  If the game works for you and everything’s great then this one doesn’t matter too much.  Some of you have been having problems, so I’ve been coding like crazy today.  Here’s what’s on the menu:

• Fixed garbled background texture on Macs (hopefully; email me if the bug’s still there)
• Fixed crash if you quit a menu and wiggled the mouse together
• Moved the apply button higher in the options menu, to prevent being stuck
• Ruins and abyss no longer unlock all research by default
• On Windows, save files have been moved to the user folder

How do I get the patch?

Use the download link from the email that you got when you bought the game.  You’ll get a new version of it – 0.51.

How do I carry over my save?

If you’re on PC, then you’ll need to manually copy over your save file to the new folder.  It’s in C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Rocket Bear Games\Infested Planet.  Run the game once to have it create the folder.

Take pref.xml and campaignSave.xml and drag them over to the new folder.  Now you’re all set!

My save game has deleted itself twice now. Both times I quit out of an in-progress game.

Hi Inane,

I'm sorry to hear about that.  It's a nasty bug that should be fixed in 0.5.2.  Read about the patch here: http://www.indiebird.com/blog/?p=1073

If you want, send me an email at [email protected] and I'll hack together a save game for you.

Hi Guys,
