Ruins

Special edition

On 11th October 2011 Jake Elliott announced to sell a special edition of the game to cover the $95 entry fee for the Independent Games Festival. Announced as a limited run until 14th October 2011, the goal was already achieved on 12th October. The special edition could however still be bought after the goal was reached. It was offered in two flavours:* $10 edition: the game along with audio commentary, a folder of flowcharts & text files that comprise the full text of the game, and a few pieces of music he wrote for the game but didn’t end up including in the release, all packaged on a USB thumb drive. It also includes a small, handmade painting based on the imagery in the game.

• $25 edition: the $10 edition of the game along with a small, handmade watercolor+ink painting. It shows a scene from the game, like a fuzzy screenshot that takes hours to render.
