Collectors edition box?
Collectors edition box?
Hi everybody,
I've got a quick question for Joel.
Will there be a collectors edition box that includes the soundtrack or some game art or something like that?
I know it's a little bit early to be thinking of such things but what the hell, I thought i'd ask anyway.

We're going to do some dev diary stuff, hopefully in video form, so there's a chance that something like that will be released, either online or in a collector's box (or both). We'll see.
We're working on signing the game for Europe. NA is covered, Russia and Eastern Europe is covered, and I expect a couple of other major territories to be signed very soon. Publishers seem to like the game too.

We'll include ~everything we can if we decide to do it. We'll probably make a decision around the time we finish the game.
If we decide to do it, it will be available only on our website and not in stores (perhaps with some exceptions but that's totally up to the publishers). Luckily this also means that we'll have a lot of control over what to include etc, so let's see what happens.

We've actually looked into figurines and may produce them someday...
For Shadowgrounds Survivor, we'll have a Special Edition that will include the soundtrack on a separate disc. It's a start at least, and maybe in the future we'll be able to do something more extra.
An SG+SGS+OSTs box is probably going to happen one day, but right now it's not in the focus. We need to see how things go and make some decisions then...

If you mean the SG+SGS+OST version... I have no idea. We need to think about that internally and see if it makes sense and if any publishers would also be interested in it (i.e. we could add physics to the original too and some other tweaks). Earliest date for this would probably be summer 2008, so it's not happening very soon...
For Shadowgrounds Survivor, I think I'll set up a PayPal option once we get the Finnish retail copies (could be next week or the week after that), and we'll sell those via mail-order to the most enthusiastic international gamers who don't get a retail release in 2007. Hopefully with 100% English covers to make it truly international.

Bumping this thread to get an update on whether this is still in the works, and whether any modifications to it have been/will need to be made. =]

The Finnish Special Edition is available now via PayPal, at

Right now I can't say what we'll do in the future. With our next (PC) project we'll probably be able to do something similar, and I think this time there'll be more thought put into this, so perhaps a true collector's edition is possible.
I'm entertaining myself with the idea of a "Frozenbyte - Early Years" box, which would include both SG games and their soundtracks, the next game, and possibly some unreleased "games". This is a very complex thing to produce of course, and has some legal hurdles also, but in theory it could be doable. It also depends on the reception we get on the SGS Special Edition, i.e. whether there is demand for this kind of mail-order. And I think we'd need to consider all the people who actually own some of the games already, so perhaps it should be a real box that we could sell with or without some specific games.

Re: Collectors edition box?
I know it's been a long time since this thread has seen any action, but let me nonetheless express my support for this idea. I already own both Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor, but I'd probably be willing to pony up a little more for something cool like this.
