You think I'm kidding!

I'm still thinking that you're kidding...

I'm pretty sure Piggy Bank is real. In fact, I'm pretty sure it'll be done in time and available at PRGE, that it will be more than playable (in spite of its compressed development time), and even fun.

Holy crap, I couldn't believe it! In this case I have to approach more seriously the matter.

 

What if I can not physically be present at PRGE?? Will there be a way to get it?

 

I know, I know ... obsessive-compulsive disorder, and AA is like a "chaise longue".

Hmm... That's a question for BBWW, but if I understand the point of this effort at all is to highlight the absurdity of the Blix release, and I think he already mentioned that only 60 30 units will be produced.

Something tells me the ROM may be released. For free. Pretty quickly.

 

But with uncrackable DRM!! (cue evil laughter)

With industrial-strength Eleftturnite DRM?

The absurdity was well documented a year ago, repeating the absurd act again, for whatever the end game is, is pointless.

Four weeks is not enough time to make a game.

It can be if your programmer is under pressure. I did one in 24 hour, just for see how much I can cram to produce something within that time limit. Also, without much sleep to add.

It was playable with slowdown, occasionally VRAM screen corruption, no sounds, and none working sprite flickering routine. I did go back and fixed those issues.

 

I might do it again on December 31st to submit my entry to IntyBASIC contest.

This was my 24 hour (More like 30 or so) contest entry for AC2013 :-

Coded in a big hall with a bunch of other coders using all kinds of platforms. Lots of fun. The only preparation I did was to have nonner242 make some graphics before the contest (we knew the theme).

Here's another example:

As the post says: conceived, created, and programmed in just two weeks. Sure, it wasn't strictly from scratch, since it was based on a limited framework I had developed already; but most of the actual game functionality, including animations, AI, tuned hand-controller handling, scoring, game mechanics, sound effects, music, and actual story and game-play, were all developed in two weeks.

I could easily knock out a playable, somewhat fun game in a month thanks to IntyBASIC. Hell, I've made a couple of simple games in a day.

 

I entertained the thought quite seriously for PRGE - people do seem willing to buy *anything* if they think it's limited - but I'm just not that cynical. My loss, because if I kept a few copies to myself, I could sell them for $500 each next year. Do that 10 times a year at various cons (pun intended) and it's almost decent income for the time spent.

I could not agree more...except I'm taking my anger and channeling it. I've stopped whining about BLIX, that should at least make you happy.

 

I'm having fun with this, others are too. This is supposed to be fun. It's a 35 year old console, it's not like I'm killing anyone. As I have said, I urge no one to buy this game! Boycott it, slam the idea, nail me to a Pixel Cross it's all good.

 

It will leave more to sell on eBay next year. :-)

I've heard from "sources familiar with the matter" that the game looks great, that the programmer is having lots of fun making it, and that the testers are enjoying it and find it lots of fun.

 

It'll be great!

It's been kicking my ass this morning. LOL

Until recently, I was sure this game wasn't real and was just a long running (and entertaining) joke. Now I am curious: is this actually going to be published?

I hope so! I love me some Piggy!

On my HDTV via Cuttle Cart. Just a teaser.

 

I've been having to outbid Rev on Game lots. LOL Hey Rev, think I'm done. (For Now)

 

All carts are numbered. 1 of 60 30 because it will be one of those. :-) So everybody will have 1 of 60 30.

Dang it, I should have saved it and printed it out to sell for 200 dollars. Sigh...

Lol. You should pm me for shells! I literally bid on every sizable cart lot.

Yeah, I've got bids in on a few...some of the boxed lots that I will commit heresy with and the lot of 50 that is about to end.

[Rev]

I normally don't bid on very many boxed lots.
