jaguar_fan Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) I thought it was a custom enclosure ? Didn´t someone over here state that they hoped the new case will make up for a little of the high cost? Or what did they mean with "case" then?

Tursi Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 For anyone who, like me, was getting the "Sorry — your last action could not be completed" when you clicked on the link, with IE, this may be because your security settings are blocking cookies from the site. I get a number of Paypal and one Yahoo cookie blocked - this is on the default setting of 'medium', implying there may be a problem with the cookies. Temporarily lowering the level from medium to low enabled it to go through (This is on the 'Privacy' tab, not the 'Security' tab). If it worries you, can can then delete the cookies after the operation and restore the level. Whoever is in charge of the website may want to look into this - it is probably costing you orders!

Gorf Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 (edited) Or what did they mean with "case" then? The case....it will go a long way in keeping your investment nice and safe. If we did try to make those carts in purple, that could have double the cart price at the very low numbers, quantity wise to have those made. If we knew we could sell thousands at a time the cost would drop almost close to low quantity used original shells....We would have LOVED to be the first Jag cart to go new design.....cost and much less on the Jag fan's wallet dictated otherwise. I think we are going to seriously consider the SkunkBoard as the way to go. Then its just a download at a reasonblly lower price...less than Gorf CD was even.

+LS650 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 I think the idea of selling a downloadable file, in addition to a cart or CD media version, is a very good idea for a few reasons. Some folks have trouble coming up with the dough for a hard media release, but could afford to purchase a download. Some gamers don't really care about having a box or other collectible items - they just wanna play the game! And there isn't a really good emulator out for the Jaguar, so I don't think unlicenced copying to play with emulation would be much of an issue. Since each Skunkboard has a unique serial number, maybe the download executable's code could check for the serial number. If the serial number of the board doesn't match the code, the executable doesn't run. Or if people started copying the download without permission, you'd know who the culprit was by checking the serial number of the release file. Seems like a pretty workable idea to me...

Yes SB reelases would definitely make use of this feature among others for protection. We could offer packaged or non pacakged. This would be a CD that you put in your PC and upload the file to the Skunk. Still have a nice collectable, personalized by your skunk serial #, packaged release. Let the people choose....(since our govt dont allow that anymore...) I am looking into a utility that will allow the make file to recieve a command to incorporate the serial # into the file online and from a data base the game itself would be personalized to the owner with his/her name on screen saying thanks for the support. What I hope to achive is before the first skunk release, have all skunk owners interested register their info. This way you have to be registered for the utility to work. We can eliminate bogus or copycat devices as we know how many are out there and how they are numbered. Since we have no current games ready we are at a fresh plate. Mighty Frog, then probably G.E.T. (formerly Gorf plus) might ...I say might see the light of day sometime this year. That is all up to both Scott and Terance. We may just start with those, although I think MF is destined for CD release at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterG Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 The problem I see with a release for the skunkboard is the missing ability to save and the relative low number of people who have one. Other than that if there is more to chose from, more power to you. I think I still would prefer a regular release even though it is quite hard for me to come up with the needed money.

kskunk Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 The problem I see with a release for the skunkboard is the missing ability to save and the relative low number of people who have one. The Skunkboard allows saving. If you're a developer looking to release on the Skunkboard, just PM me and I can help you with code to use the save feature. There are about 200 Skunkboards in circulation. That's a decent-sized chunk of hardcore Jaguar fans who are still out hunting for new stuff to buy. I still agree with your point. Cart releases are more fun! But I don't want people to get the idea that Skunkboard releases are infeasible. They're pretty practical from my point of view. - KS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuddyBuddies Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 I prefer cart and CD releases, but a Skunkboard download would be cool aswell. As long as shit keeps coming out for the Jaguar im happy! JAGUAR RULES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cobra Kai Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 $80 isn't expensive. I think there are alot of people that owe Carl an apology for bitching about the 'extremely high cost' of Total Carnage, but are here ecstatic about spending $80. Congrats on the release, I hope it's a fun game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congrats on the release, I hope it's a fun game. I did appologize about a year ago when I realized just how much these would cost. I had no idea....it does suck though....we released Gorf at a great price due to the CD format. Carts just cant offer that cost effectiveness. SkunkBoard would greatly solve this issue.

Songbird lists $89.95 for Total Carnage... No matter: I never have complained because I figure it you can put out any kind of Jaguar game at all you're doing a lot better than I am. Under $100 for a cart-based game seems reasonable to me; all I ask is that it be fun and pack a lot of gameplay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
