Did you make the code source available ? If so, maybe someone else can finish it ?

[Sik]

Long ago actually...

[pikointeractive]

Ive told Sik several times that we can do it (and want to do it).

And we can easily complete it with the content already available to make it a complete game.

May be you guys can convince him lol.

[Zebbe]

I honestly don't feel like finishing it though =S

If we really insisted on finishing it quickly... Take that unfinished boss, make it into the last level and finish it so there's a final boss? But there's still the issue of needing an ending. Yeowch. (and I forgot if Oerg ever made an invincibility tune) Also cleaning up that options screen...

That's too bad, but I hope I can convince you .

*There are many people who want to play the game finished and on cartridge.
*The game really feels unique, you've made a wonderful "retro game dev world" with the graphical design.
*The music is awesome and goes hand in hand with the graphics perfectly.
*The mirroring effect and the faked third background layer serve as great examples of what you can do with the hardware, even if they are simple tricks.
*You (and Oerg866 I guess :P) can easily make $10.000 if a first production run is sold, which I'm sure will happen.

Holy Crap 10K?

Water Margin has sold 175 copies, not even 10K gross (not counting parts, material, labor, license).

Wondering how many copies UWOL has sold, may be it comes to final MSRP.

Edit:

Transparency time; Copies sold so far of the games recently published:

Quest forge = 225
Water Margin = 175
Duke Nukem = 105
Dorke and Ymp = 46
Corn Buster = 13
Anguna = 42
World Reborn = 37
Broken Circle = 36

Dont want to sound like an a-hole, but these games are all crap that I (we?) played on emulators and everdrives for a long time and would never waste money on these games. On the other hand i spent 360$ on 3 different versions of piersolar because i liked and wanted to play a brand new game on my genesis. I would be interested if this game was worked on and had good gameplay and decent lenght. What im trying to say is if you released a brand new game lime watermelon is doing with project y and pier solar, i would be glad to pre order from you, but so far your games and super fighter team games dont interest me at all, IMO they are not good games. And btw sacred line genesis sucked too, and wont buy It came from the desert when WM release it

[Barone]

All crap? Sorry, but you have to be very ignorant to say something like that.
For an example: Water Margin is easily one of the best beat'em ups I've played on the Mega Drive. Its gameplay is very good.

ROM'ers these days... SMH.

[Sik]

Can you stop please? (and I wouldn't agree that Water Margin is bad, unless Piko broke something badly, the game plays quite well)

And yeah, Project MD is so overhyped that I wouldn't be surprised if it actually could command that much revenue. (which is why I just came here to post about Dragon's Castle, Project MD is such a big name I could get attention by just talking).

I should probably also promote Sol here (which takes its power-up system straight from Project MD) but first I should get its site brought back on-line... and fix my computer (rogue scripts can be dangerous to run, mmkay?)

- I hope both of you can discuss about it, so that we can see a complete game version and a physical copies.

------------------------------------------

- Sik, what the status of Miniplanets? You said here that you plan to release this game as a physical copies right?

- Recently, there is a lack of update on your social media sites or blog. For example, i don't even know when you released your GBA games. The only games that i noticed have enough advertisement are Water Margin, Duke Nukem, and Dorke and Ymp.
- You should update more often about your upcoming games or projects on your social media sites.
- You also should make gameplay video for your games, and post it on your Youtube channel.

TBH, I think he's doing fine with this by giving copies to well known Youtubers which they are willing to review/promote. Gets the word out quite a lot.

Yes, 10k is possible. Here is a rough calculation: $20 per game, 500 copies sold. I'm sure your games will sell better in the future (especially your Genesis RPGs). You are striving for better quality and listen to the community, that will pay off in the end.

[Sik]

Is it even possible to sell it for $20 though? I'd think it'd cost more just to manufacture.

- Recently, there is a lack of update on your social media sites or blog.

Oh, I think you could blame me for this one. I ended up sending the guy to a trip to China to research something about clone consoles lol

On Miniplanets: will see (and hope I didn't trash all the existing copies of the source code after that stupid mess up - it nuked the pendrive too yay). Again the problem is to find music for it. (same for Star Chaser, which is otherwise literally done)

[pikointeractive]

We can help with music for Star Chaser & Miniplaners .

Sik I think he was referring to $20 royalty.


Anyways, yeah I hope numbers pick up. It was just 2015 when we started to work on Genesis, baby steps.

Star Chaser is very interesting, by the way. The MD's library lacks games like that.

That would be awesome.

What Zebbe said.
Time will build more credibility to your company's name and if you keep listening to the community like you do, it'll surely pay off.

I still think a lot of Genesis gamers and collector's of arcade-ish platforms are missing out on Water Margin big time. For the first group of people a CGR review would probably do the trick for you and the second group is usually composed of slow adopters.

Also, as your catalog grows you'll have wider media coverage and attention.

Some people seem to forget how many years Tavern RPG/Pier Solar was in development. People involved in that game were respect Genesis/Mega Drive community members, the game was released with Triple A+ packaging, etc.
It's not like WM appeared one day and was selling thousands of copies in the day after.
