This is frankly a great story in the making. If he delivers, it would be amazing, but up to now, this borders on one of the worst modern-retro development stories in recent memory.

If all this would come to pass I would be very very upset, I dint sign up for this. So Fonzie better get is things together and get out of his closet.

Oh ! man..... Even if he releases this game, it is the last time I will ever work with WM! I'm even wondering if he ever reads my reply's here, he might even take it so bad that all my credit's from the game will be taken out. Like everyone else it will be seen as treason. So rediculous, if anything, everyone is right to be this upset and so am I. Even we are being fed half the story on how things are going. No wonder Camille has been having a hard time giving the right information on social media, and being late on payments ? She has all the right to be upset. It's disrespectful, unprofessional and If I knew it would come to this shit behaviour I would never have made a game with WM. BTW I was also promissed payment for all these years of support and contribution, I stayed patient... There came a time I got ill and needed it, guess what ? I got nothing but empty promisses.

You know what the sad thing is guys ? I've worked my ass off, in sickness, sleepless nights, taking care of children on my own to make what I believed was a dream come true for me, making a Old School Beat em Up for one of my favorite consoles and share it with others. This situation is a HUGE desapointement for me, its a lack of respect we are all being served.

I'm so upset at WM ( FONZIE ). The only hope I have is that hopefully he's just a very ignorant individual. So, he better release the game because friends, I'm close to call it quit's and my RANT will be 10 fold.

Yikes, how can he not?! Surely the whole point of making this game is for retro game playing forumites like us. He's a special kind of stupid.

What does anyone else think about the YT option? PreZZ's suggestion sounds quite good?

Hey no worries Luis, we all know you are a professional and you did your job, nobody here associates all this shit with you, we all know it’s all Fonzie fault. However I would like to get in contact with you if you want to pm me

QFT.

We agree with Prezz, Fonzie is the one who is responsable of all this shit, not developper,s artists. Also we are with you Luis :)

Yep, I agree, Fonz needs to jump the shark on this one if he's to regain trust again. Luis, I also have no beef with you or your fellow contributers.

I'm surprise it too you this long to speak up. I always thought you'd hold your breath for fearing being "cut out of the will" by Fonzie if you were deemed to be a rebellious party.

... But he does! He can say anything he want, and perhaps he skips through the pages and pages... but every time I made a comment that was more "revealing" of the situation I'd get a nasty email cursing me, and my past and future generations.

I just sit here on the sidelines now, even while still truly concerned about whether Paprium will see the light of day or not, smiling internally because I see Fonzie doing exactly the things he always accused me of, and what's worse, it became public perception now. I'll say again: he may not admit it, but I'm sure he knows now, exactly how much work I had to do to keep the company afloat, and most importantly, that he definitely isn't good at doing those things.

Luis, I don't know if it's come to that yet, but in any case, welcome to the "hated by Fonzie" club. I can't say it's an exclusive club though, because ultimately, everyone who's ever worked with him will be joining it sooner or later.

I'm proud of my work and all the hard work I put into this, so I stayed patient. But when I see that the two only people ( Me and Camille ) are trying to calm things down and keep asking for the love of god to have feedback and updates to share with the community and we end up being contacted only when he needs something , over and over ... it's time to quit being patient with a shit head, egotistical idiot thats doesnt respect anyone and think's hes "GODDE " and does everything alone.

Well, I have news for you.....he will end up alone... time will come when he will realise that is mentally ill attitude is ruining his relationship's and the little of respect people have for him. I've been very political correct for a long time.. So I have the right to not be happy and speak my mind even if his ego tosses his most important collaborator asside. He will ruin WM's reputation if he doesnt get things together.

I'm so angry !

About Camille, i tried to contact her but no news, same thing on her personnal mail, i don't know how Prezz get this information, Prezz are you sure she left WM ?

I ask me question, who is developper of Project N ?, even this project we didn't have news since long long time like it was promised by Fonzie, maybe he left too...

Gimme a break.

First thing your big ego should do is to raise awareness about the situation, not the opposite.
Until a few days ago there was still people willing to pre-order the game and WM had posted they planned to reopen pre-orders. The bleeding has to be stopped.
WM doesn't need more investors or anything, Fonzie has to man up and get out of his basement in China if he wants to keep living in the game industry.

AFAIK, he owes money to several people (to not talk about the refund requests). And he has broken ties with a lot of others who couldn't take his behavior anymore.
While me and others were criticizing this, people like you would come here to attack and silence us.

Go sit down and wait for your beat'em up 'cause it's not happening any time soon. And get some popcorn so you can have something while investors drop like flies and refunds are ignored one after the other.

Blud, chill...

Why are you personally attacking me, we are all on the same boat. What you do wiv' your money is yer business, you don't have to bax me bruv. I'm just optioning alternative solutions to this problem. But I don't deserve such a shit attitude from you. We all want to slew Godde, not silencing yous. But we are just questioning the method.

XGoldenboyX, you're an amazing part of this community. None of this drama will stick on you. We know how much you've contributed and how much you have tried to help with things that are beyond your control.

I still believe Paprium will be released but hearing things like "Even if he releases this game, it is the last time I will ever work with WM!" is devastating. I've always hoped that WM would continue making games for our old consoles. And that is not looking likely. But, of course, no one can blame you for this choice. Not at all.

You're Aces Luis!

Tulio you're not the only ex watermelon person to receive threats... I got a couple too.

In fact I dug one up

I see you posted sasha was not aware of the limited edition of the game.
Seriously, are you working against WM? What's the point of spreading this kind of wrong informations?

Sasha has followed it's own game release from day one.

Fonz

I had to re-read that email a few times. Hes definitely pissed but thats all i see in that email.
