My framework is 1 year old! Get a free copy.

Just realised that my Blitzmax Game Framework is one year old (anniversary of first sale)!

So to celebrate, I will randomly chose one of the next three people who buy it and give them a full refund via Paypal (i.e. FREE COPY), no catches. Just buy it and you stand a 1/3 chance of a full refund. I'll report back here when a winner has been selected with this clever program:

SeedRnd MilliSecs()
Print Rand(1,3)

You can read all about the framework (and see what my satisfied customers have to say) in this thread:
http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=66425
and this FAQ:

******
You can buy it for £29.95, €43.50 or $54.95.
To buy it, please go here: www.greyaliengames.com/contact.php and use the appropriate Paypal donate button (this is my preferred method).
Or use Share-it! http://secure.shareit.com/shareit/checkout.html?PRODUCT[300072102]=1

I'd like to say thanks to all my customers for your support and help, and here's to a great 2nd year!

bugger can i have a refund and buy again :) only jocking

\o/ HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLITZMAX FRAMEWORK YOU ARE ONE \o.

Sorry dude. That's the problem with running any compo, someone who recently bought might feel hard done by (a bit like when Protean was given away for free). I just literally thought of the idea. So I hope that you're OK - you seem to be enjoying using it a lot.

nah just having a laugh hey man selling the framework is your job if it went public tomorrow hell I purchased it but it wasnt the free one because that ones free so i still got what i purchased :)
Grey its all for the art of product promotion and reputation building im all up for that \o/.

Only 2 left...

Wee. (Edit: Now if only I had money..)

Jake,
Happy birthday on the framework!

This brings up a question:
When purchasing the framework, you get 1 year of support and upgrades. That means my year is running out!

Your framework and the upgrades to it are excellent. How do existing customers ensure another year of support and upgrades?

Thanks,
Mark.

NoBoDo: Good point. I could charge for a year's extra support and upgrades but for now you'll get them for Free! I certainly want to make sure that everyone gets 1.04 in the summer. Glad you like it.

bah, I was gonna relent and grab a free copy but then I saw it's a luck dip :( Shame on you! But nice marketing idea :)

Hello.

Doh!

Goodbye.

Indiepath: Knew you'd like the idea haha :-)

There's still time, one more...

me me me!!!

oh, wait :p

Long time no speak Tore. Hope you are cool.

Grey, it's great to see you'll offer v1.04 to all existing customers, I'm glad to buy a time extension after that, maybe you can post some info aout it.

Anyway I'm waiting for 1.04 too.

(It reminds me it's already a year... busy at works and almost coded nothing - -)

Yoko, there is some further info about V1.04 on my blog:

http://greyaliengames.com/blog/forthcoming-features/

V1.04 is going to be a very important upgrade due to Vista and Mac support. I might have to put the price up at some point.

Another fine marketing strategy :)

Brilliant bit of marketing. Good for you!

Good to see you're doing good Grey, I've gotten a new job and a new girlfriend, so my time has literally flied the last 6 months ;)

Im currently using Quest3D in my new job though, but thinking about using BlitzMax somewhere when appropriate - just because I like it so much =D

Chaotic. Glad to hear you've got a job and I hope you are well again too. Yeah BMax is good :)

Fact is....... when I actually make another game I will pester you so bad that you will relent - or we share some tech :) (or beer).

You still got a 1/3 chance of a freebie as the third sale is slow. Common... :-)

shameless bump.

Maybe that's because most people aren't willing to "take the risk" involved in getting a free version your framework.

When I saw your offer, I considered to take it..
But then I thought some more on it, I came to the conclusion that I might not get a free copy, and really don't want to shell out £30 one it, TBH.

OK, that's fair enough dude :-) the other one will come along soon, it always does...

Keep an eye on the framework as 1.04 will have full Mac support.

We have a winner! I won't announce their name from a privacy point of view - but rest assured that they'll receive a full-refund (i.e. free copy) via Paypal ASAP. Sorry for the delay in posting but I recently changed paypal accounts and had to re-verify my bank account which is long and boring process

Anyway, congrats to the winner, and thanks to everyone for their support!
