Insecticide Episode 2?
 
I've been trying to hunt this down everywhere. Why they split it up for the PC version is beyond me. According to the main website it is supposedly already available for download but there is only a link to the first one which I have. Does anybody have ANY info for this at all other than what I already know?

Supposedly it came out summer of 2008. It's supposed to be available for direct download. However I can't find any more info than that. Did it get put on hold or something? Also why release the full version on the DS and then split it in half, release the first half and not the second?

It's been canceled apparently http://mixnmojo.com/php/news/showfil...egory=crackpot I like many people it seems was waiting for the second part to be out before getting them both.

It hasn't been permanently canceled, but it has to find a new publisher, so it's fate is unsure at the moment.

That seems to be the going trend. What is the deal with all these cancellations and switching and so on?
Is the video game business really that far in the crapper?

Seems so. The publisher for the game was taken over by a bigger company and apparently there weren't enough copies of Part 1 sold for the new company to continue the old deal.

Well, I didn't buy it. I tried to, mind you. But none of the digital download services I looked at explained their DRM policy up-front.

I wanted to know that I could just get a simple .EXE of the game, re-download it a reasonable amount of times, and not have to use some program like Steam to run it.

If they'd made it available direct from their website, I would have snagged it up right away. I prefer to buy direct from the developer whenever possible(Valve being the exception, as I absolutely abhor Steam). I just don't trust third-party digital game stores.

I guess Crackpot would have liked that too, but I think they had a deal with their publisher that prevented them for going solo with the distribution.

This is strange. They're preparing to release a a CD version of the game here in the UK so it sounds like mixed signals.

I for one have been hoping the CD version would have part 1 and 2 on it, but I'm assuming not after this news.

I too have been waiting for to buy the full version, or the two parts at once. I might've bought part 1 on its own had I been able to play a demo first.

Ascovel 02-26-2009 01:21 PM

Unfortunately, no CD or any other version is currently being prepared, trust me. Crackpot is still looking for a new publisher.

As for a demo, have you tried this trial version?

Well I finally heard back from the makers and this it what they said.

"When Southpeak bought Gamecock, they cancelled it. We are not happy. Please complain to Southpeak!"

That is all they said on the subject so I guess it's most likely a dead issue.

No, I'm not in the right territory to download it....

Ascovel 02-27-2009 12:36 PM

Too bad, I didn't know the download was limited to specific teritories. :(
