There's something I'd like to make clear to everyone. I am looking forward to any game that Watermelon decides to put out. Will I buy any game they make? Well, no, not if it's something I am not interested in. But my tastes are pretty wide. Many of my questions about this whole ordeal have been answered. That said, I'll follow the development of these games and if it looks like they will be awesome, I'll buy 'em. But I'm not putting money towards a product which may turn out to be the polar opposite of what I wanted and I don't want to pay just to have my opinions heard and possibly dismissed. If anybody doesn't like the way I have expressed my opinions, tough! I don't like the way you express yours, either!

Skepticism is king!

That's good to know Big Red! I hope you don't mind me calling you Big Red! I had a feeling that your line of questioning was one way of you trying to flesh out how the previous issues that occurred with Pier Solar were going to be resolved! Now since we got that out of the way, maybe you could offer some suggestions to Zebbe to take back to the Watermelon team. I've already taken the time to private message him a suggestion myself. I think he'll be receptive to any ideas you or anyone else may have!

Cheers for making your feelings known by the way!

(Now I'm going to go back to work on my laptop! Work that I do not want to do at 12:30 a.m. in the morning )

Well clearly they need to be committed to the GEMS idea for Project Y and maybe Project Super Famicom which is an overhead action RPG for the Genesis. There's really nothing I can suggest about it at this point as the system is already in place and it would be a pain to overhaul right now for that game. I played the iPhone game called GameDevCo where you invest funds to develop games and systems. It's fun. But I hope that people who are investing are patient enough to wait a couple of years for the finished product because unlike GameDevCo the results will not be here soon. Real life takes a while.

My only suggestion for a new game would be to follow your passion. What game would you as a developer want to see more of? What type of game would make you really WANT to spend time to work on it? That's the type of game I'd suggest making because more heart, soul and personality will be poured into it. It's kind of like me and Game Sack. The best episodes are the ones we are passionate about. There are some here and there that people really want us to do but one or both of us are not as attached to the genre or whatever and we feel that those episodes are lackluster compared to the others. Do it because you want to do it, otherwise it's a chore.

Big Red, I had no idea that WM was also working on an action RPG. I was aware that they had two other projects in the works! Hopefully they will capitalize on previous works (i.e. Legend of Zelda or Beyond Oasis, etc.) to make a game that is on par with both of these series.

I certainly understand most people's position on the matter. Not everyone goes gaga when a new game is released for the console and some take a more measured approach. Especially those with a more narrow taste for certain genres. When I invested in the project, I kept my expectations low with respect to a final release date. I'd rather a quality product be produced rather than one that was rife with glitches. So I fully expect that the game will not be produced anytime soon.

It will be interesting to see to what degree the Watermelon team will communicate ideas, provide an insight in terms of the development of the game (maybe via storyboards), and maybe a look at the various characters. Time will tell!

agostinhobaroners, you're a funny guy! And you did it without uttering a word! And even more surprisingly, perfectly executing it with the use of an emoticon! Hahahaha!

If they could just delay it a week they'd release it on my birthday.

Don't worry, it probably will be delayed.

look on the bright side joe, it will save you the disappointment of your birthday being spoiled by some third rate piece of shit by a company full of lies,

You wouldn't happen to be a pre-teen, would you makingagenesis?

Because you sure act like one.

He is, I looked him up with the Admin Control Panel feature that lets me see through forum member's webcams. He's 12.

I think I'd do a little more research into the game before deciding on actually purchasing it. If they released a 16 MEGA POWER game full of lies I would not be disappointed since I wouldn't have bought it in the fist place.

[TrekkiesUnite118]

A 16 MEGA POWER game full of lies actually sounds mildly entertaining. Would it just shout ridiculous lies at you or would you need to decipher what is a lie and what is not?

OH NO.... How much have you seen Joe?...

lol

[makinagenesis]

Big Red sounds like some gay pornstars name....erm, not that i'd know or anything

anyhoo seems that beat em up is winning, ill be very disappointed if this ends up the eventual winner as beat em ups are in general repetitive gameplay and relatively short gametime to complete . that could be said of a lot of platformers also though
