Nice! Are you working on a physical release? | |
|
Posted: Sun Dec 06, 2020 3:32 pm |
yup! but i will fund it via kickstarter. It wont be just game in box but everything from digital + soundtrack with modern and 8bit songs and keychain! So I think it will be worth to buck. I was trying to find everything on my own but also i was yesterday talking with Yéti beacuse he have know-how and helped me with a few things :) |

Just tried the complete version, you actually changed jump SFX :D But not the text one. You should update your demo. | |
|
Posted: Mon Dec 07, 2020 10:46 am |
yup. I saw a lot of people prefer first download demo so i updated it today. I forgot about text sfx but i dont know if would it change a lot, still good to considering that. |
|

Hi, I completetly agree about removing text sfx from Alex. I do believe it's important.
I am interested in physical edition. You did such a great job. |

yeeeeaaaahhhh. i changed that now, it is much simpler sound but should also feet to the game, its not that huge work to do so okay. |
|
|
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2020 9:44 am |
Good news!. When a game is as important as Alex Kidd, we have very inside us its sounds, then it is impossible to focus when we hear its sfx in another game. About the physical edition, Do you manage any timetable of the kickstarter campaing?. Thank you! Greetings from Spain. |

I think sometime between january and february. I want to polish it and fix things that people will feedback me. Better i do it now by updateing digital version than make a physical and then have a big problem. |
|
|
Posted: Tue Dec 08, 2020 4:45 pm |
Yes, I guess it is the best way of removing possible problems. There's nothing like feedback to improve the final result. |

I decide to release a color blind version of the game. Demo is ready for download now on Tower of Sorrow itch.io page and full version will be on december 16
Below is small example: |

I decided release for color blind version now along with Winter Sale so now its 1,5$ for limited time https://itch.io/s/42674/neofuturism-winter-sale-2020 |

If we buy now and you will update in the future, we will receive the update? |
|
|
Posted: Wed Dec 16, 2020 4:07 am |
If there will be update or fix then YES. So far i got message about one bug and i added that new version of the game. If you buy it, or assign code to your account then you can update or download. |

Hi Steiger, do you have any news about your project?.
Regards from Spain. |

Just purchased it with a little bonus ;-) | |
|
Posted: Tue Jan 26, 2021 4:46 pm |
Yes, previously what i wanted is producing 100 copies of ToS in version how i imagine but its hard to promote this game so its a bit discoreages to fund it via kickstarter (fail ratio i think i too high). I see people asking me about physical copy but i dont know how many of them acualy is. Revo suggested me Ichigobankai and i need to contact him/them about ToS. I still want to do that deluxe version but now i considering two options: 1. make free preorder file on project page, this way if there will be small amount of people who are interesting with physical version, i will try to produce those copy by myself and then sell them when they will be ready. 2. if there will be alot of people i will ask them to pay for physical version upfront.
Thanks mate! that's awesome, have fun! |

I just bought this today after getting hooked on the demo, clearing it in one sitting yesterday. Great work! | |
|

I dont mind paying upfront for a physical copy. count me in!!! |
|
|
Posted: Wed Jan 27, 2021 7:08 pm |
Did you play easy version or hard? if you had fun that's best reward for me :)
Yeah but is not that simple. Mostly beacuse i would like sell this for 60$ i think but if i do this via kickstarter i will cost more and if i do this via itch.io it will cost 120$ becuase 50% of that itch.io will took. So i will do this propably like preorders via itch but payments directly to paypal, outside that i will need collect everything and that also will take a time, risky action. I need to be 100000000% sure about everything and secure everything. It's still pandemic time so shipping also could be a part of the problem both from my to buyers and from manufacture of parts to me. |

Why you don't sell here? | |
|
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2021 12:01 pm |
Easy. I don't think I'll make it very far on hard, but I'm going to give it a try today. Thanks again! This is probably the most fun I've had with a homebrew. |

Version 1.3
Posted: Fri Jan 29, 2021 5:20 pm
|
Hi Steiger,
I'm playing through version 1.3 on Hard right now and have a couple of nitpicks you may or may not be aware of. The title screen still reads "Digital Version 1.1". Also, on the tower stages that show the stage number on the bottom left at the beginning, all of them that I have seen after "S:01" show as "S:02". It's also worth bringing up that these numbers don't correlate to those on the map screen. "S:01", the first tower stage, is actually #4 on the map. #5, #6, and I think #7 show as "S:02". Then #11 shows as "S:05". I hope this helps! |

Thanks for reminder to change that title screen. About those "S:01", those are not a errors :) you know i ceated some games in the past so keep it all in one place is much more practical for me. I will inform people also here about everything but Im only one person. |

My mistake, that's a cool feature! |

I also purchased the game this week, looking forward to give a play through today :) | |

Just bought my digital copy, would definitely be up for a physical version if you do end up creating them :)
|

|

Thanks guys!
Also I create new mocap of physical version & wrote to 2minds about cost of pcb with game. A Lot things still dynamically changes in my life. |
|
|
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2021 2:13 pm |
Looks exciting!
I've got a couple of games on pre-order with 2minds and had another already, so fingers crossed. :) But lets face it, you can take your time. There's no rush as we've had these machines nearly 40 years, so if there's a bit of a wait for a new physical cart it's not the end of the world!

I was asking them about only pcb. Other things i will trying to do by my own or with hand of friends | |
|
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2021 5:50 pm |
That's cool, I can't even print a cover properly on my own and make it fit! ha ha

Hey dude, I filled it out right now =)
60$ may be a bit expensive; maybe 2Minds could be an option instead of Kickstarter? I´m trying to avoid Kickstarter if possible. |
|
|
Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2021 8:59 pm |
Look what is include. I will buying pcb from 2Minds. |

Posted: Sun Mar 14, 2021 4:45 pm |
I signed it already :D |

I have a question. I dont understand when you write:
"Both: you will receive 2 cartridges" with this option you will receive 2 cartridges?? and the price is the same as the other previous options, around 60$? And another question, when you write the colours this way: red/white/green I dont know what would be red or white or green. Thank you Steiger. |
|
|
Posted: Mon Mar 15, 2021 6:09 pm |
Thats mean in game box will be 2 cardridges, so its 60$ + additional cost for extra card + shipping cost.
This game use 3 colors to represent things: red for background, white for colliders (platfoms walls etc.) and green for enemies and dangerous. Beacuse there are also color blind players thats mean this: https://neofuturism.itch.io/tower-of-sorrow/devlog/204095/color-blind-version-on... |

Thank you Steiger, now I understand it.
I signed it because I am interested. |
