BOH soundtrack released (for free)

Hi all,

I'd like to let you know that, thanks to the warm and positive feedback received, today I have released the BOH soundtrack, in a deluxe package prepared with the same meticulous care that characterizes BOH throughout.



The package contains:
* 18 tracks (6 menu tunes, 6 failure jingles and 6 success jingles, for a total of over 11 minutes) in CD quality;
* a print-quality, jewel case-format, 8-page booklet which accompanies the reader on an aural journey through the mazes of BOH;
* a print-quality, jewel case-format, double-sided inlay;
* a color serigraphy for high-quality CD stickers and pressed CD labels;
* a black-and-white serigraphy for LightScribe labels.

Everybody can download the soundtrack for free from http://www.bohthegame.com/downloads.html.

(Note: the picture is only a mockup of how a real CD would look like.)

put me down for a copy Simone! but how do I pay for it on your site ?

@328gts

Hey 328gts, if yours is just a cool way to say "I like it", I appreciate it a lot!
I you really mean it... well, you don't have to shell out any money! It's for free and already available for download from the website

Thanks Samo

@nubechecorre

You're welcome and... enjoy!

@saimo
Did you consider encoding the soundtracks as MP3s? FLAC & WAV are a bit obscure & typically huge (I didn't try downloading).

@ChrisH

The main point of this release is providing the music in lossless format (the game data is in good-quality OGG format), so MP3s would have been pointless.
The WAV option is for those who are not familiar with FLAC.

That is just great!
How much is the game with deluxe soundtrack?

@vox

The soundtrack is for free - you can download it right away
The game price hasn't changed:
* 15.99 EUR for the physical version, tracked shipping included;
* 4.99 EUR for the digital version.

PayPal no can do in Serbia.
Western Union, credit card or bank transfer (will do it on 5th.08.2012)

Let's see...

Western Union: their fee could be significantly high with respect to the game price (I've tried to find out the fee on their Serbian site, but I could find no indication).

Credit Card: there is no direct support, so you will have to use an intermediary service that will transfer the money to a bank account; also in this case, the overall fees could be high.

Bank Wire Transfer: if you have this option, definitely go for it!

... and thanks

Still no version on Steam? :(

I submitted BOH to them on April 1, 2010, but they rejected it without giving any motivation. So, I asked the guy who had answered:

Could you tell me the specific reason, please? Is it because you don't think BOH is good enough? Because it's indie? Because it's retro? Whatever? It would be nice to be given a motivation.

His reply was:

Has nothing to do with you being indie. There are several reason it is not a good fit include some you have listed below.

Since:
* being indie has been excluded,
* "some" excludes that both being retro and not being good enough have to be considered at the same time,
* retro games were available on Steam,

the answer meant: "not good enough", to which maybe some other reason could be added, unless he was just trying to be diplomatic.

Of course I'd have much to say, but here I rather prefer informing you (all) that a couple of persons gave me a heads-up regarding Steam's Greenlight: I'll create a page for BOH and see what happens.

That said, if one doesn't want to buy the digital version directly from me, BOH is also available on GameStop's Impulse, Desura from the ModDB guys and Gameolith, a relatively new platform for Linux.
