They're going to have some forums on their website for the game, but I'll probably add some here too.

Who is preordering?
You got an inside source Stoke? ;) Sick deal! I'll definitely pre-order asap. Been wanting to get this game months ago when they first announced it on kickstarter. Let us know when the website will be up and running.
I backed it originally and I expect to get my pre-order in when the site is operational again.Quote:

Website is up and running again (for now at least lol). Checked out all the brackets and that 55$ one seems pretty sick, having my name in-game haha with that backer discount, comes out to 44$ which still isn't that bad imo... Plus, that 55$ pack, you get mobile versions, exclusive shop, your name in the game, exclusive content, soundtrack. Thinking about getting it mainly for that exclusive shop and that exclusive bike park (only for backers)
Which bracket are you guys choosing?
Edit: Just pre-ordered it, succumbed under self-pressure (if that's even a thing).
They've asked me to moderate/administrate the forums a bit over there, so if you guys have any suggestions for that community on their site, let me know and I'll forward it all to them.
I'm already suggesting to remove the moderation approval for posts (as I see you're awaiting for moderation over there Boxerman). I've sent them a big list of things I learned with Fluckit over the years also.
So, PEOPLE, come on over there and get the community more active and spread the word. I'd really like to see this game become successful and even end up on console eventually. I'll be preordering tonight I believe!
That's sick man, they could definitely use some forum-experience from you/all the others who started Fluckit. Stoked you're helping them out!
My post was mainly about having an instant reply mode, similar to skate, but after going through their website I've noticed that they're already planning on implementing that aspect into the game... hope it's as good, if not better, than the skate's replay editor.
Which package are you getting Stoke?
I am probably going with the $55 one as well, I'd like to do the $90 one, but alas... I am poor at the moment.
I wrote them a nice big long e-mail with suggestions for the forums and included in that was a hint at a section like our Your.Footage section if they implemented that in the game. I think these guys are pretty up on what aspects of Skate. really made the game unique and I hope they can implement those and improve upon them, maybe catching the eye of a bigger company willing to publish the game on consoles or gathering enough support to DIY it on consoles.
That's why it's important that the people from our community support this game, if you feel it has the potential, and really help give back to them in the form of feedback. I've been itching for a Skate replacement, even if it's on a bike. We are a gold mine of feedback for these guys, most of us having played Skate religiously since 2007 and all.
Any of you guys playing on Mac? I've never hooked an Xbox 360 controller up to my iMac. Any tips? It has to have a chord right, no wireless.
Ha, makes sense. Their forum right now definitely needs improvement and I think adding a Your.Footage section would be a good idea. They have a "show off" thread though, which I guess that's their version of it.
I will be playing on mac as well, but I was never able to hook an xbox controller to it. I've tried using one of the wireless controllers with one of those "plug and play" wires but that doesn't work so I'm assuming it HAS to be with a wired controller.
I believe that's what I read as well, I plan on going out and buying one used from Gamestop.
I then think you may have to install some type of software to run it, I'm not sure. That might be one of my first contributions is putting together a tutorial for using a controller if they don't already have it covered.
the website just pulls up a hostgator page for me. Is it down again? I haven't even been able to actually see it yet.
That's weird man, has been working for me today...Quote:

Better hop on those preorders! 300 or so left of the initial 1,000. I'd say they'll release more since it's been so successful, but who knows, so get in while you can.
You get a sneak peek demo this month and some exclusive stuff depending on which package you buy into. I did the $55 one.
Edit: Website is indeed working now.
Just pre-ordered the only one I could afford at $20. Look for me in the community, username is PoppySquidJr there as it is everywhere but here!
Since it's up and working I went ahead and got my Pre-Order in.
I went with the $55 package as well since $44 with my discount wasn't too shabby for all the goodies.
I'll probably get the $20-package next week when I get money.
Getting the $55 package.
Pre-Orders are all sold out, bud. Hopefully they surge some more due to the success. I was able to get mine in, though at leastQuote:

Sometime this week 5,000 more Pre-Order slots will become available for those who were unable to get into the original 1,000 Pre-Order slots.
A few minutes ago the 5000 Pre-Order slots opened up.
www.bmxthegame.com/pre-order/
At what tier do we get the bike editor option? "exclusive only for early supporters from our website."
So if any of us who haven't gotten the chance to pre-order yet can't have it?
Fuck yes!
I'll see if I can get one of the team to give me a solid answer, but as far as I know it is available to even the BASIC RIDER Tier.Quote:

game.

August 29, 2014
- The feedback from the Bike Editor is working great and has helped us to improve the sneak peek
- Sneak Peek has no official date yet but is delayed only a few days
- We show the first gameplay-test on mobile phones
- We have started to process the consoles licenses
- Pre-order prices will be updated after Sneak Peek release

Console Note: If they reach the 5000 Pre-Order goal then that secures the game to be released on PS3, PS4, Xbox One, & Xbox 360.
It is currently slated for PC and Mobile. Licenses are in the process currently for at least PS3 and Xbox 360.
Is there a pre-order option that gets you access to console? I don't care about PC tbh but would love to support.
just pc/mac from the looks of it
Right now the Tiers are PC or PC/Mobile oriented.Quote:

By Pre-Ordering a current tier you help to increase the console install bases.
At a later date you would have to purchase the console version though.
From talks with the team they are looking at reducing the console price or in some cases making it free for those who backed during the Pre-Order phase.
Just an update to let interested people know that the "Sneak Peek" for the game is going to become available November 10th to anyone who Pre-Orders.
It should also be noted that after the 10th the reduced Pre-Order prices will go away and they will transition to the higher priced tier amounts.
IE: The current $30 package will become $45 instead.
Special Note: For anyone who Pre-Orders the "Full-Time" package ($30) or above you will be getting the console releases when they become available.
Currently, it is for PC and Mobile, but Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS3, and PS4 are in the works as more funds come in.
Here is the new Sneak Peek Teaser video:

Im interested for PS4. I don't have a gaming pc tho so i miss out on all the alpha/beta action. I would've donated money to Project CARS as well but there's never any love for consoles early on in games' developments :(
I understand where they're coming from, they don't want to promise a console version if they don't have the funding to make it, but i really can't donate if i don't know if I'll ever be able to play it.
On that you'll just have to hang back and keep an eye on the project then.
To my knowledge they are going to try and seek outside funding for the console versions if they don't meet the pre-orders in a timely manner.
So, *IF* you happen to have a spare $30 this week you could drop it on the project and when the console edition does come out you'll have it on all 4 of the big game machines.
Otherwise, you'll just have to wait until next year and see how things turn out.
I'm not even being sarcastic when I say that I cannot wait to get in an online session and call all the tricks by the wrong name.
Today we got Build 0.179 for BMX The Game and now we're on Steam Greenlight as well.
The new build has both good and bad aspects to it, but it is a much more playable version and shows good progress.

Thanks for the update, Replicant. I backed out of the website a while back because the community started getting toxic, but I'm still interested in the game itself. Kinda worried to actually play the demo builds too much though, don't wanna suffer the Early Access curse and burn myself out on an incomplete game so bad that the full game isn't funQuote:
