Ah, Actually I am not sure if Pit plans to continue work on this game, I think he is also working on a gameboy version as well. As far as defines, I guess I was just curious to see all the homebrew games that were physically released in 2020. Seems like quite a few this year

@Scrobins I just remembered that Ramen Adventure ROM was released by Pit Baldriz earlier this year. It says it's still a demo, but I did sound on it and thought PIT said he was finished with it. Can be found here: http://pedrobaldriz.com/ramen-adventure-nes-game/ Secondly, how hard would it be to put a "This year in homebrew" list together for 2020? It might be fun to see a year end list

Hey Congrats! Nice work! Mine is still at 86,580

That is good feedback. I'll revisit this on the site in a week or so once the dust settles on my kickstarter shipments. All the little hamsters in my head are all hands on deck until I can get over that first USPS drop off.....lol I've been building boxes, labeling carts, and packing orders in the evenings for the past couple of weeks. I think I may take an actual day off when all of this is done with...haha. Thanks duder

I'm curious, is this for authentication? Or to show that it wasn't save states? One of my favorite features of the HZ cart is the flash save for hi score, I could easily re boot the cart and take a better photo. Although, I plan on topping that score, so I might as well wait for my next attempt

@Deadeye is it appropriate to request a category for Haradius Zero?

Last day this kickstarter! Also, some mew press from Radio milwaukee: https://radiomilwaukee.org/discover-music/tapd-in/space-rafts-audacious-nes-game-is-a-celebration-of-milwaukee/

Only SIX days left for the kickstarter campaign! Here is some more press released in the past week for the game here in Milwaukee: Shepherd express interview: https://shepherdexpress.com/music/artists-beating-covid-19/jordan-davis-detour-into-games-people-play/?fbclid=IwAR11zq_vFTMMuOFUnn71cN5O-6QW_9lmp73nwvlrtr8fubKPN9tedwcaRQk Radio Milwaukee Tap'd In Audio segment and write up: https://radiomilwaukee.org/discover-music/tapd-in/space-rafts-audacious-nes-game-is-a-celebration-of-milwaukee/?fbclid=IwAR18LCV_7ft-eUZY2sPMX-M0othg9zlVx2EAGHx_9UkxIiFt6mz0FZcniWo I thought to post these here in case anyone here is interested in reading ALSO, Here is the poster version of the T shirt included with each boxed copy of the game:

The T shirt design is here, designed by our daughter currently in College for communication arts.

As far as I know there was a delay of launch, but that is all I know of

Yeah for sure! I made an update about this last week with the instructions

Oh, the care you've shown in development is immediately evident as soon as you boot the cart. Honestly, I thought I was pretty much over Beat em ups. They just burned me out in the 90's, but playing through this game totally rekindled my appreciation of the form. I was even able to invite a friend over the day I received it to play some socially distanced co-op on my cheap projector outside in my yard. The best way to experience a beat em up I was late to the party and never got a chance to pick up Eskimo bob or Alfonso's Adventure, at least I slept on them too long as I am now seeing they are sold out (congrats). So this is officially my first Spoony Bard cart and I couldn't be happier. I am really looking forward to see what you're going to follow this up with as I am now a fan -Best

thanks for the interest! If you want to shoot me a message in Kickstarter I am sure we can work something out. I didn't offer any shipping to Asia because I don't have any experience shipping there, but mainly because I assumed there would be very little interest. HMU and I can work to make the shipping destination easier for you

As a total aside from the current discussion, After playing this game for a week I completely love it. It's a knockout homerun my only possible complaint is that hard mode is hard....lol I love the save battery, it never occurred to me a beat em up could benefit from this. I love the pixel art, sprite work and music. I have a special appreciation for the thought and care put into the sound effects. The sound of the sock full of nickels made my audibly giggle several times while I played it. I was prepared to be impressed judging by the trailer footage and screen shots, but here I am impressed even with my heightened expectations. Bravo Spoony Bard! Bravo...

I just tested my cart on both my Toaster and my AVS and both worked perfectly. When I threw it in my toaster initially I got some garbled CHR data on screen. Looks like it disappeared with better contact on the pins.

Good to see you hear Nate, I look forward to seeing this launched!

reporting back that this project was completely funded in just 15 hours. I decided to celebrate last night by inviting a friend over to play this 2017 tecmo bowl hack projected on the side of my van. I lost...oh well, It was an amazing day.
