Paprium: The Official Thread Mk 2

[SEGA-Jorge]

It's weird, a part of me appreciates Luis posting whatever he knows, the other part of me kinda wishes to hear nothing about this game till it's either confirmed to have been cancelled, or announcing a real release date. I just want Paprium to be over already. Somehow Fonzie and co made a game that I'm already throroughly tired of, and I've never even played it.

I expect this game to unceremoniously show how out of nowhere, just like Cans Without Labels.

[SEGA-Jorge]

Cans without labels came out?!

Edit: Oh crud... Unceremoniously indeed. That was really not what I expected.

Anyone know how long the website has been down?

It's been approximately 3 months, maybe 4, i've kind of lost track of time. The website isn't coming back, Watermelon and Paprium are both dead. Fonzie decided that doing tons and tons of cocaine was better than honoring the pre-orders of everyone who gave Fonzie their money ahead of time.

It's been down since july: almost 7 months now.

It's really disappointing to see something with such potential be shut out by such unabashed incompetence. Well, we'll always have Xeno Crisis in terms of a pure visual feast and great gameplay I guess

[NeoVamp]

incompetence

Truly sums up Fonzie.

At this point he should just admit defeat, there's no working prototype, there are no cases being made or manuals or anything. most likely he has a buncha art that he can't manage to turn into a game.
Fonzie.. I know you're reading this, just give up. contact paypal and tell them to refund everybody (if the paypal thing is actually true and you didn't blow it all on coke).
Contact paypal and tell them to refund everybody, then sell Watermelon and everything belonging to it to someone like Piko. And with that money refund the people who you still owe money too.

then fade away and code shitty android apps for the Chinese for the rest of your life whatever, just never come back to the retro scene.

Put it all behind you and finally go to bed knowing everybody got their money back and they don't want to break your legs anymore.

Just do it.

Now.

there are no cases being made or manuals or anything.

Actually I think has probably made tons of stuff like the boxes, manuals and extras, but ran out of money to finish the game itself. And the game can't be finished because of that Datenmeister chip which is nearly impossible to work with.

The PayPal thing is probably true to some extent, because I think he broke their rule of not allowing pre-orders. So they locked his funds (or at least those he had on their account and hadn't spent yet) because of that.

^Haha I was just playing Pier Solar (in Spanish) and I laughed at collecting the Red Gems, or something like that, which was referring to the "gems" of the pre-order time period...

Not sure whatever happened with those "gems," and also, I'm not sure if Pier Solar's sticker-bombing project, ever took off? It was 2010 but I never heard what happened with that...
