Scrobins | 1,818 Moderator · Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Hello VGS! The staff have been working closely with Mega Cat Studios over the past several months to launch a line of homebrew games to help devs who are otherwise unable to publish their games on their own or achieve a larger distribution. Our first game in this series is Diamond Thieves, a puzzle platformer from a bunch of talented devs in Brazil called Mangangá Team. As an added special touch, our own @CasualCart & @BortLicensePlatedesigned the gorgeous box and storyboard for the game trailer. The game launched today and you can buy it here: https://megacatstudios.com/pages/diamond-thieves Proceeds will benefit the developers as well as support VGS. More games are in the pipeline, and we hope you enjoy them! You can read my blog post in a series I'm starting to highlight this new line of games that I'm calling The Mega Cat Chronicles: 10 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecmyers | 100 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Congratulations! I love that box art. I'm guessing there won't be a digital release, so maybe it's finally time I incorporated a Genesis into my console setup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 5,135 Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Ok now I'm impressed, got in with what appears to be a decently good team, backed with megacat which is no slouch either. Nice, makes me curious to see what's in the pipe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sp1nz | 690 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Ordered and it wasn't the only thing I ordered. Not relating to Diamond Thieves: Do Mega Cat Genesis/Mega Drive versions have functional differences (60Hz/50Hz) or are they just box inlay color variations of red and blue on the spine? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure on that point, you’d have to ask Mega Cat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not know for sure, I think all dependes on each game. For mangangá Team games they are made on NTSC in mind, but it should work fine on PAL consoles, since the game is region free, just a bit slower and letterbox if using an old televisor, like old games.

Zebbe | 9 Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Wonderful trailer! You went the extra mile with the animations, something I always appreciate as trailers usually only have gameplay footage. Really cool to read those interviews too. I love hearing about the mindset and inspiration developers had when creating games. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
