retroillucid Posted August 1, 2015 Share Posted August 1, 2015 I added it. Since it's not a boxed game (or will it be one?) and since there is already a ROM released, I put it as "Beta Development" since it seems like you're still tweaking it. Either way, it's there now and people can find the information about it! Something tell me it's going to be available complete in box 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyBoss Posted August 2, 2015 Share Posted August 2, 2015 I can confirm Sasa and jump land is running need a bit more testing. Starcommand runs but need a bit more work.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted August 2, 2015 Author Share Posted August 2, 2015 I can confirm Sasa and jump land is running need a bit more testing. Starcommand runs but need a bit more work.... Is there a page where I can link to those projects and I'll add them to the tracker thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattyboombatty Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 What about Monster Bash? There hasn't been an update in quite some time, but the game development had received a big following. Wish RKGames would make an appearance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phattyboombatty Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 (edited) Russ and I are working on another game at this moment Project is not dead , it's just on hold Yes, Monster Bash should not be considered "vaporware" since J-F is a) A well-known publisher who delivers and b) he is in contact with RKGames. "Vaporware" is reserved for projects that have no leads, no contact people in touch, or whose owners have declared abandonment of a project.

While I don't really disagree with you, I set up the project tracker thread to keep track mainly of projects that are in currently active development and on their way to getting released. If it's just a matter of semantics, I can change "vaporware" to "inactive projects" but really that's all it means. And then as soon as a project goes active again, it can to back with the others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 I would actually leave it as vaporware if I were you. If a homebrewer doesn't like seeing the term associated to his game, he should just finish it and release it. After a couple of years of inactivity, a game is vaporware until proven otherwise. EDIT: So yeah, DKA is vaporware in my book... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really mind if Monster Bash and Rip Cord stay as Vapoware But keep in mind that BOTH games are almost all completed And they will get release as soon as we can resume works on these Oh and BTW: We're also planning to release Sydney Hunter & The Curse of the Mayans for the ColecoVision as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 I would actually leave it as vaporware if I were you. If a homebrewer doesn't like seeing the term associated to his game, he should just finish it and release it. This was kind of my thought exactly! Being in the vaporware section isn't really a bad thing, it just means there hasn't been an update in at least one year. I chose one year because I felt that if you hadn't heard anything at all from the programmer about a project in that time, it usually means that the title is on the back-burner or possibly abandoned. As soon as a programmer posts a new update, it will go right back into the active section. There are a couple of the list now that are approaching a year since the last update: MazeaM, Penguin Adventure, SeaQuest, etc... Even DKA had an update in April from Eduardo!

retroillucid Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Well, good things take forever to make 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPR Posted August 3, 2015 Author Share Posted August 3, 2015 Well, good things take forever to make This way of thinking I totally buy into! Remember, it's more about how long it's been since the last update not about how long a project has taken. DKA might be taking forever, but at least there have been updates you can point to. Personally, I'd rather a good homebrew take longer and be better than rush something through development. One day, I'll be more open and talk about when Activision's management came to me and told me "We need another Call of Duty game in 9 months..." The words I had for them were not "pleasant" and is one of many reasons why I chose not to stick around that company much longer! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's going to be release soon or later Same is true for Monster Bash & Rip Cord Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree In the end, I think both games will benefit of the MegaCart Well, less for Rip Cord of course but still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The words I had for them were not "pleasant" and is one of many reasons why I chose not to stick around that company much longer! In France we call that game "call of Abruty..." , i'm not sure how to translate 'Abruti' in English... but it is something like " call of studid guy" or "call of stupidy"... Back to the topic. Knight 'n more is not in development, it is completed since a while. But as it won't be published by the usual colecovision publishers , it takes some time to put in place certains things. I hope to have it published by the end of this year or begining of next year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to have it published by the end of this year or begining of next year. Everybody here would go crazy for the front cover of the box, or just a snapshot of the current game Edited August 5, 2015 by neo*fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
