AtariBuff #1 Posted June 5, 2014 Dashing pixel artists of the ColecoVision and Intellivision homebrew scenes! This is your chance to code homebrews of two of the greatest space shooters out there since the early 80s! Experience slave similiar work conditions with tight deadlines and even tighter beta testing schedules. Gain laurels and immortalize yourself in ColecoVision and Intellivision homebrew heaven. And even get bread and water for it!!! So leave your current projects aside and sign the dotted line NOW! Puh, I never made that many exclamation marks in one posting let alone on one page of a whole thread. As Archon development is already running and the collaboration with the programmer is the best possible, I'm looking for a second and maybe a third project to run simultaneously. Not more as all this needs to get funded rationally. I also never ever want my projects to compete with work-in-progress projects or even to-do lists of the fantastic homebrew publishers out there, be it CollectorVision, Elektronite, IntelligentVision, Left Turn Only or Team Pixelboy just to name a few. I have Phoenix and Vanguard on my mind as next projects and I'm actively seeking developers for them. A bonus would be development of the games for both of our beloved consoles, the ColecoVision and the Intellivision to the best of these consoles' technical abilities. I principally have no set deadline in mind except for a possible release in the first half of 2015. Everything before that would be mint. I understand that all developers have current work schedules and even many projects in their pipeline but maybe some of them share the same enthusiasm in bringing these great games to these great consoles and drop me a PM. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tempest #3 Posted June 5, 2014 How did you snatch up the rights to these games? Is Taito actually friendly to small publishers? Don't go looking for trouble. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VectorGamer #7 Posted June 5, 2014 It would be cool if the programmer includes the tricks found in Phoenix like the "3 bird trick." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SKELETOR68 #10 Posted June 5, 2014 Holy Cow! Both games ROCK! getting them on the Coleco Vision would be even greater. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InfraMan #11 Posted June 6, 2014 Argh, I love both of these games so much! Squeeeeeeee!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
+Gemintronic #12 Posted June 6, 2014 If the first plan to attract developers on contract doesn't work out how about a contest? IntyBASIC could use more, er, users. I believe nanochess even put in some handy scrolling routines recently. I'm sure some classic gaming prize would attract homebrewers and give you something to build upon for a shiny arcade quality release. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youki #21 Posted June 25, 2014 I'm considering taking on Phoenix. I may start it next month as I need to finish off my current game. Good news!!!!. Phoenix is one of my favorite game of this time. back in time i bought intiially a Atari Expansion Module for my Colecovision just to play the 2600 version of that game! But doing Phoenix on colecovision is really not an easy task. good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
