I'm studying and writing about the history of video games. I would like to help and participate.
are you in linkedin?
we actually can benefit for help writing the pdf manifesto from a powerpoint + classifying classic arcade games to highlight what define arcade approach
our group is

To all people devoted to classic gaming.
I s a tarted (at the moment on linkedin) a new initiative called Arcade Alliance: we will study how and why a game model based on arcade concepts is not only still attractive for the market, but a valid alternative that the video game industry needs due to the now unsustainable production costs for the majors.
We are a group of veterans of the game industry mixed with new entrepreneurs and pioneers of the market.
Anyone can contribute simply by expressing their opinion on the topic, while Arcade Alliance is working on a Manifesto with the key points of the project. -

I love sokoban style games.... I dont know penguin land

the best competition ever?
I'm proud of Pandora from my Elektronite, but I see many good games

thanks to all and keep the good work

beach head is the perfect fit for Intellivision: it's from the same historical period of the console and reflect the flavour of the games seen on this platform: it could have been one real release in the 80s

If it was a no-one posting here, I would have doubts too but vprette is seasoned in the Intellivision aftermarket, so a project he's part of must have some legitimacy.
thanks
and, more in general.... this is a community initiative to have fun and help commodorian people show their creativity efforts: we are not looking for business, we are not willing to publish amiga or c64 games under commodore brand! so just be friend all togheter ?

about prices for the jam, apart the tablet we are considering other stuff like software licenses.. suggestions are welcome, this is still under definition

There doesn't seem to be any mention of the purpose of the jam on that page, i.e. to find an IP that you can develop for other platforms (presumably for profit). With that in mind, could you tell us what exactly the situation is with the IP of any entries? Does the IP of any entries remain entirely with the creator, or are any rights forfeited by entering? What other stipulations will be applied?
The recently finished AmiGameJam had the stipulation that all entries must be open source, for example.
the IP owneship will be retained by the creator. In case an interesting IP come out, we will be pleased to discuss with the creator about a port, but the ownership of IP submitted to the jam wil not be transferred
I add this info in itch.io
thanks

As for the music compo, MOD format means Amiga only, I understand?
You previously wrote no porting of unlicensed games. I suppose that also means no lifting of graphics, sounds or level designs as well? Right now the rules are very brief but you have almost a month to beef them up before the jam goes live.
thanks for comment
music can be for c64 as well
and yes no assets (graphic, music) copied from unlicensed games

What does it even mean? You own the factory? The tablet is designed by you? If so, how is it different from a bazillion other (and cheaper) tablets out there, and what actual connection it has to the old Commodore? What is the "group of employees" called, if it's a legal entity, and if not, why should it matter?
I'm sorry, mate, but I've just been around for too long and have seen too many of these 5-second-revivals in my time. As I'm sure you're aware, the C= trademark has been claimed by numerous entities over the years and, withe the exception of THEC64, nothing else of substance has materialized. Therefore, if you appear here and announce yourself as "Commodore", you will be asked questions akin to the ones above. And unless you have something really interesting to show (a tablet, bland game, website full of hot air, or a facebook page do not count, I'm afraid), you will continue to be "just a few guys who managed to register a trademark".
thanks for your post: it is of high interest for many reason, because the point of view of a real commodorian must be considered in order to imagine new products.
quick answers: You own the factory? yes The tablet is designed by you? yes what actual connection it has to the old Commodore? well, it's android, it's a product for the actual market...More, the management in commodore inc is all made up of Commodorians, and therefore lovers of original philophosy. This does not mean anything concrete, you might say... but if you combine the passion for commodore with the professionalism of engineers and business managers, something good may be seen.
the group is made up of several legal and registered companies that have been operating for years in the e-learning and IT sector. this is not the place to give legal information about it, and only part of those people are now allocated to the commodore business, but it is not about single people selling commodore branded t-shirts. we know that these things exist and we patiently try to make it clear that we are not involved with these kinds of people.
thec64, which also does not have the Commodore brand because they do not have the legal right to use it, is retrogaming, and that's fine as it is: it helps the community to develop new hombrews, and we are happy that it does, but a medium sized company cannot live on retrogaming, it must produce tablets, desktops and invest in products that will work for the current market.
As a commodorian, what kind of products would you be seeing? a new commodore computer today, must use windows or linux, it is impossible to make a new proprietary OS which then would not have SW.
Likewise, it has no commercial convenience to produce peripherals for the original c64 and amiga computers, but when some kickstarter tries doing so, we are happy to share his project on social networks ...
What modern product could represent commodore as it originally was in your opinion? -

But there is no "new Commodore", really. It's just a few guys who managed to register a trademark and are selling an Alibaba-sourced tablet with a custom logo and a 100% mark up.
this is not the case. Commodore inc is part of a bigger group of 100+ employees on IT services. We can consider commodore inc as a startup at the moment; the tablet is not rebranded, it's made in a proprietary factory (of corse China anyway) and will not be the only hw product of corse.
Emerging on the ICT market today is difficult and takes time, but the initiatives and products will be documented on the social pages (especially FB at the moment)

I've not forgotten you. heh. This far ahead of a show communication is just a bit more difficult.
In the meantime, since you found the article interesting...here are some other Commodore aspiring individuals to read about:

Yes, and as the video and supporting article text illustrates at the time (last summer)...Eugene Van Os of C=Holdings did mention there were talks about licensing with Commodore Inc. who registered the "C=Commodore Engineering" tm.
But my question was to you about what you posted.
Has the new company expressed an interest in attending AmiWest 2022? That's the idea I got from your post.
If they DO have interest I can assist in contacting the proper people.
Take care,

yes Commodore engineering would like to partecipate but not in person, I wonder if we can send a short video o a flier
