Big thanks to Cory from x10hosting for putting the first two download links up. He said it's running on their 1GB/s connection!

 

http://www.indiedb.com/games/starforgegame/downloads/starforge-v01-zip - Another download, great site for indie games.

 

Music by http://www.loudcore.com - Kevin made all the music found in the trailer. He's got lots of great stuff released on his site.

 

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

 

- Go to http://www.forgeforums.com to view game fixes and talk with us. They will be reported in the Feedback/Bugs section: http://www.forgeforums.com/viewforum.php?f=12

- When the game launches you will be immediately greeted with a blank screen. This is normal behavior, as the level is building during this phase, including procedural texture generation. It may take a couple minutes on some computers. This is something we plan to fix in the near future.

- Some the features shown in the video are not yet included in this build but they will be playable soon.

- The game may not run on your computer, has performance issues and playability problems. We strongly apologize for this and we are set on fixing these issues over the next few weeks.

 

We hope that these temporary problems will not create a bad impression and we are unsure if we revealed our game too soon. Nonetheless we will work hard to make the game as it ought to be.

 

Official Sites:

http://www.codehatch.com - Site working bug sluggish

http://www.starforge.com - The main hub, currently down,

http://www.hatchstore.net - Register your online account early. Server currently down though.

 

 

We removed the download mirrors from our website as our servers are unable to handle the traffic. However, we will remove them once we feel the existing torrents are well-seeded enough.

Also, to address some skepticism: ALL of the video is real footage of the game, recorded with Fraps. However, I regret to say that the build released today (which is currently being seeded) has glitches and performance issues, and is limited mostly to people with higher-spec computers. Also, while ALL of the features shown ARE real, not all of them are implemented in the first build as they need to be further developed and optimized in order to be well-received by the public. The build is slow enough as it is and we are having our hands full with ONE build, let alone one for each feature (and the executables exist - we used them to make the video). We will be working as hard as we can, over the next few weeks, responding to player criticism (Go to our website at www.forgeforums.com) implementing major performance revisions and generally fixing everything.

All of the features promised in the video are in mid development and will appear in a future build very soon. At the end of the day though we are just two people and only have 24 hours in a day like anyone else. We had no idea our project would receive this much attention and we hope that we timed this right. We will try our very hardest over the coming months and years to make this project the exact way we envisioned it to be.

Thank you all so much for the attention and positive feedback so far.

--Steve & Will, CodeHatch

wow, looks awesome!

Downloading the alpha version atm. but so far it seems that this game has a ton of potential.

--------

So, I played it for a while and so far it feels like Minecraft creative mode. Not much to do, other than building. It's the very first public release so obviously there's not going to be much stuff yet.

I love this, I just bought it, and there have probably been a few updates since this thread was made, but it's just amazing and I can't wait.

 

I bought the Founder's Club so I got two full copies with access to Alpha beta and full game as well as bonus content, and I can get my name in the credits when the game is finished, all in all it cost me $50 (It's usually 75 dollars but it's on sale on Steam at the moment),

It also comes with new tilesets with the edition I got. All the Deluxe edition perks, some unique skins, and a unique helmet. I'd recommend buying this one if you're planning to play the game for a while because why not.
