+cmart604 Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 How many games have been released in 2017? Off the top of my head in think it's 7, maybe 8? ? That's one every month and a half to two months which doesn't seem like flooding the market in my mind. That said, folks certainly have the option to not buy every release. This should be fun after all, not a chore. One final point, as someone very familiar with the cost structure of most of these games, if anyone thinks the game producers are getting rich off of these you're sadly mistaken. I would suggest that most producers are just hoping to make enough to hopefully cover the costs of the next release. I'm glad that people like Rev, Jay, Tim, Willy, JF and Toby, Eduardo, and Groovy, among others, along with the very talented group of programmers who are creating games for the Inty in 2017, are willing to put in the time, effort and financial outlay necessary to give us so many new games to play on our beloved console almost 40 years after its release. Just sayin. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Tarzilla Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 Wth, I could have sworn I typed sympathize instead of connection. Stupid ipad. Maybe the posse should stop devoting uncountable number of hours to providing code, graphics, music, manual creation, box art and testing. While some of us don't believe every game needs a box release, there are some that do and they go to great effort to make their desire come true. Vote with the wallet and don't buy every release. People can't reasonably buy every Xbox or ps game so why do they expect they can buy every homebrew? Unless more than 500 are printed, boxes do not get cheaper, even then you usually need to do 3 separate boxes per print run to get any saving. Cart shells don't get cheaper, the boards containing the rom doesn't get cheaper due to the labor of programming them. Box art and manuals cost the same and the people doing them aren't doing them for free. Economies of scale do not apply to this hobby to the degree where the cost will go down significantly per release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamchevy Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) I’m grateful for all the Homebrew releases that are made available. I don’t want to spend my hard earned money on another lame ps4 or Xbox one release . I appreciate being able to have something new and retro that my wife can buy me for Christmas every year. I wish I could afford every Homebrew release on every retro platform. Just like I wish I could afford every new awesome sports car made by all of the different car manufacturers every year. Their are limits to every ones resources. I guess I need to send my next complaint to the Tesla Brotherhood [emoji481]. Jawcrusher looks really good , I need to have my wife get this one. Thanks for the convenient website to make the purchase from. I think she will make the purchase in the next couple weeks. I hope their will still be one left!

m-crew Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) no one ever mentioned that it doesn't take lot of work and effort into releasing games. There's always praise and admiration for the hard work that goes on buy those who do. So what are you trying to say with "Maybe the posse should stop devoting uncountable number of hours to providing code, graphics, music, manual creation, box art and testing." Is a threat ? For ? What ? Why? without the rest of the community Supporting that effort - would the effort even happen or would it even be worth it for the the posse. Lol You are no more important to the community here Then Community here to you. It's a an equal partnership. But we have got way off topic. Cheers Brother.

You are the one that started labelling via your use of "posse" in a way that could be taken as derogatory. I never said I was more important that anyone else, rereading your comments makes it seem as if you have an issue with not being part of some imagined club. You are the one that started complaining about the number of releases and farkles (a word that is not in the IPad spell-checker.) And as I do not have a fanatical need to respond to every post, I will enjoy not seeing anymore of yours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-crew Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 (edited) Like was mentioned before ,there are more and more , Publishers and Programmers joining our community.. The fear of one stopping really? ... Anyone can be replaced in any field , job , carrier.. That's life.. Maybe the posse should stop devoting uncountable number............. , in my opinion is an arrogant and ego driven statement. just come down from the pedestal and join the rest of us.. ;p we all can play nice together you can even have a chat with Eric..

Just sayin. Apart from the variations (according to SoulBuster's criteria: Space Cunt (BSR version) and the standard edition of Sydney Hunter and the Sacred Tribe and BC's Quest for Tire) and from the stand-alone release of games already released as in-game (Laser Sharks), until now we have had only six new releases in 2017. Actually, too much ado about nothing!!! EDIT for the skeptics: the six totally new releases are Hotel Bunny, Super Pro Hockey (an hack, actually), Jr. Pac-Man, Moon Blast, Jawcrusher and Oregon Bound Thanks for explaining the facts around the homebrew business. Everybody should read yor post with attention Edited November 2, 2017 by intellivotion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenetixJ Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 I know we are different than the 2600 crowd with the drive to collect/get many homebrews, but I really hope it doesn't get to the point of only 30-50 copies of a INTV new release get purchased. If it does, then the people who finance the boxed/bag production will lose money or take a very long time to get re-imbursed, and may become picky on how many they back.

Eric7100 Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 People can't reasonably buy every Xbox or ps game so why do they expect they can buy every homebrew? Because that's how it used to be.

m-crew Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Easy Eric , expressing your thoughts around here could get you blocked. There is a lot of Deflecting going on around here. Not that I agree with anything you say. But I luv you honesty of expression and not just a follower. and yes man. Some think they know more and have an entitlement around here. (and are treated as such by some of our community) Just because they have lots of $$$ or Produce something. We are a community brought together because of a common passion ,no one should be taken for granted. What I was trying to get across was not about new releases. Was about a lot of the gray areas that anyone not involved in Publishing/Programming /Farkle producing. (Yes that's a word -southern slang that Friends from TN use ) could vaguely see. Products and Releases just released for $$$. Cmart can say all he wants about not making money. Yes maybe no mountains but some nevertheless. No one will contestantly release product for a loss or break even. That's a reality in any venture hobby or not. Unless your a millionaire and have no worries !!! Cheers and let's play nice together.

m-crew Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 (edited) Question Rev , Didn't the Atari Version have 9 rows of dots , correct me if I'm wrong because I don't have the Inty version yet. But it looks like there's only 5 rows of dots on the inty version. Any reason for the difference.
