dunno how many people are going to give them support. I'm not going to ever give any money to WaterMelon ever again. at least not as long as Fonzie is there.

Heyo~ I was inspired by some posts here and made a high-effort video on Paprium...
I hope you enjoy it, no matter what you think of the game

This is a great vieeo, really enjoyed it, one of the better Paprium reviews and loved the humor. I envy you for being such a good player though. I am really sucking on brawlers hence I didn't manage to complee it yet *blushing*

Someone in the "introduce yourself" thread mentioned Paprium and it reminded me of this advert/article I ran into the other day.

I received no such e-mail. The cycle repeats with yet more lies and now he's hoping for more money with a "crowd funding" campaign! Does this thief take me for a fool? No way in hell will I throw more money nor waste any of my time to his planned theatrics (social media, press, jurist,...). Hey you know what's a great way to fix your reputation WM? DELIVER the games! BTW, what the hell happened with the third party who was supposed to help? Was that another lie?

[oldskool]

I don't even know what to say. I mean.. it's like. Well.. you see. Nevermind.

Still haven't opened my Investors copy. Should I?

[pepodmc]

i think that they are asking on kickstarter a lot of money for a simple emulation of the game

[smurdd]

They are porting it, not using emulation.

PAPRIUM, the 16-BIT Beat Them All Coming to the Next-GEN

PAPRIUM, the Near-Legendary SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive Brawler is Coming to the Next-GEN Platforms, STEAM, PS4/5, and so Much More!

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects...t_rewards_page

10 Years after Pier Solar - PAPRIUM - released in 2020 is WM's new landmark in what can be achieved on 16-BIT hardware.

PAPRIUM is a brutal - screaming 90's - game with a unique take on the genre such as multiple paths and hints of RPG elements. It's also challenging most of the Beat Them Ups (or did we say Beat Them All?) published on modern platforms! PAPRIUM is also a true hommage to older/venerable brawlers such as Streets Of Rage, Final Fight, C&D or Double Dragon.

We are proud to bring PAPRIUM to Next-GEN hardware, SONY Playstation PS4/5, STEAM (Windows/Linux...) and soon more?

Emulation is normally used for older games when source code is lost.

[nihilblack]

What are the rewards you get access to when you pay $1 (+ $8 for shipping)?

As other's said they are porting it, no emulation. Look in the intro video of the kickstarter, he put a presentation in there to explain it.

So they will have a scanlines option with bloom (hopefully not forced). He can get even more realistic aperture grilles, etc if he outputs at 4K. Maybe have a little RGB bleed. Maybe a touch of noise. The Retrotink 5X upscaler does a tremendous job with the fake CRT effects and it's only 1200p. Also isn't Demons of Asteborg a bigger cart memory-wise than Paprium? Paprium is only 80 Megs, DOA is like 120. Its ROM is over 15MB (bytes not bits). Not sure where all the memory went, though.

[NeoVamp]

Not sure where all the memory went, though.

Lots of animations apparently.

[chilled]

this and assets probably being less compressed than Paprium's. Demons is 117 MEGA POWER, please be precise when counting MEGA POWER, Mr. Redifer
