toggle switch 26 Member · Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) Our new game is currently on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nesgame/project-blue The game itself is done except for some minor level design tweaks as we do play-testing. There is a demo available in one of the updates if you want to give a try. Thanks for checking it out!

It is a good thing that some homebrews are more easily distributed, here, in Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few in the Metroidvania camp, Orange Island (kickstarter is finished but should be given a normal release according to the developer), or check the Halcyon thread here! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck! Also, I learned that WinAmp is still a thing from your image. Going to have to look that back up after 15 or so years! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankenGraphics 104 Member · Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Winamp is on version 5.x now! Though it's the same minimal bloat, straightforward application just as always Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mugi 82 Member · Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 are you planning a classic or modern style winamp skin for the stretch goal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankenGraphics 104 Member · Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Classic! A lot of people seem to hold on to early versions of winamp and i understand them. So i want compatibility to be as broad as possible. I also like that style for nostalgic reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avatar! 1,544 Member · Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 The music album will not be a CD, right? I mean, it would be amazing if it was... and I would be happy to pay to have a physical CD, just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toggle switch 26 Member · Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) The album is just digital files. I would love to put it on minidisc in particular, or pressed to vinyl... but i doubt the market for either items would justify the manufacturing cost Edited November 27, 2019 by toggle switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to put it on minidisc in particular, or pressed to vinyl... but i doubt the market for either items would justify the manufacturing cost CD production is extremely cost effective these days. Especially if you choose to do a simple cardboard sleeve, I imagine mini disc really wouldn’t be much more. If you really want that to happen I would urge you to look into the costs, it may be cheaper than you think Vinyl pressings are going to be expensive at the outset because you’ll have to pay for the pressing plates to be made. As well, lp jackets tend to be really expensive In small runs. If you’re doing a limited run of say 100-200 lps it’s cheaper to actually print 500 jackets and sit on the extras than it is to do the 100-200 required. That way, since you have the plates made already, you could do a second pressing using existing jackets for much much cheaper. CD’s you can usually order 100-200 shrink wrapped in jackets for maybe $400. Works out to like $1 or $2 per unit. The margin is really high.

Raftronaut 95 Member · Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Just a quick search led me to this mini disc production company in Minnesota, a run of 100 would be $1.95 per unit. https://www.quickturnduplication.com/pricing/mini-cd-and-mini-dvd-pricing I can ask around for more options too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lincoln 230 Member · Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 (edited) you're talking about mini cd's. i though @toggle switch was talking proper minidiscs, which would be rad and completely impractical Edited November 27, 2019 by Lincoln Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toggle switch 26 Member · Posted November 27, 2019 Author Share Posted November 27, 2019 yeah, not mini CDs, common mistake. there is one place that does minidiscs in britain, they accept very small runs (i think like, 10 is the minimum) and a few vaporwave labels that do releases. i'm sure if waveshaper did a run of 50-100 they would sell out in a day. i've even considered contacting him and telling him that.
