+sramirez2008 Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 Lol Matt. I’m expecting an Arkanoid t-shirt when the game comes out. The back of the shirt can list the City of Austin Tx. (aka AA headquarters) along with the games official release date and all of the available controller options, in rock concert format.?

Homebrewers will specifically ask that they not refer to their new games as "homebrews". ZPH will be introducing their newest co-host: Nolan Bushnell. ZPH is getting a new cat named "7800". He won't do anything at first, but 30 years from now he'll really take off. Spoiler Actual guess: James is working on a new documentary about the homebrew and/or retrogaming scene. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd have to discount the nineties, but it could be paired with Stella at 20 and be called Homebrew at 21. @ZeroPage Homebrew After catching the show on YouTube last night, just wanted to chime in that I am another "listener." I save the Tuesday show for Wednesday nights and end up listening to it like a podcast. So, there's at least two of us who do this, though I can safely say that I've never fallen asleep while listening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that would justify a four-hour show. 1 hour ago, ZeroPage Homebrew said: I have *seriously* thought about doing this, no joke! I've heard you mention it before - that's why I guessed it. (Note that he neither confirmed nor denied it. ) I think it would be great. Glenn Saunders and I had discussed the potential of something like that, way back when he first dropped off the Stella at 20 tapes for digitizing. Nothing came of it, because logistically it would have been nearly impossible to conduct interviews literally around the world. However, technology has progressed enough now where that's no big deal. Maintaining the quality would be the key, so any interviews conducted remotely would also need to be recorded locally. But smartphones now have 4K DolbyVision cameras built into them... somehow. So a documentary like that is now well within reach. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have my start broadcasting via podcasts in 1999 on the Internet so maybe I still have some of that style of speaking left over from then. Glad the show doesn't inadvertently put you to sleep, hahah, I'd have to put a warning to not operate heavy machinery while listening! 3 hours ago, McCallister said: You'd have to discount the nineties, but it could be paired with Stella at 20 and be called Homebrew at 21. 2 hours ago, Karl G said: You really should!

My recent film is streaming on Amazon Prime Video and is starting to air on broadcast TV around the world now. If I was to do another one I would be aiming at the level of production and narrative story telling of 'Indie Game: The Movie' and 'The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters', two of my favourite documentaries ever (not just favourite video game documentaries). Just coming off a very big documentary recently, I'm more interested in producing a fictional film first and possibly coming back to documentaries later. Making a film about homebrew has never left my mind for the past five years though... - James 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're all (us old-skool developers) approaching old-age now. Although reluctant to appear on video, I think for a project like this I would support and actually comb my remaining hair and even put on some deodorant if asked to be involved. I'm a big history buff - or more to the point, I hate seeing information lost forever. I fully support a documentary about the homebrew scene which should, of course, be called "It's not a homebrew, dumbass!". Would be very interesting to see the well-known "characters" participate and to explore the progression of technological developments/achievements from, say, 1995 to the present day - and the associated "controversies" they have brought to bear. Should be self-referential, of course (a self-modifyng-documentary?) to include ZPH's contribution. Of particular note in the community - perhaps changing a little bit in the past few years - is the general willingness for those who are makers to share practically everything - source code, techniques, hardware, binaries -- for practically no financial benefit. As I said, this has changed a bit in recent years, and this is a part of what needs to be documented, too. Active development on a 40+ year old game platform is something quite remarkable. Why is this happening? It's not just about the hardware, but it's the remarkable confluence of limitations/capability/advent of video games/availability of tools/ability for a single person to develop/release a game, the coming of the internet at the right time, availability of open source tools, individuals' sharing of skills and knowledge... the whole shebang. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could never bring myself to watch such a difficult movie again but would highly recommend everyone see it and DON'T READ ANYTHING about it beforehand. Here's my film if you haven't seen it yet. You can watch it for free if you have Prime Video. A Perfect 14: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084ZMLR23/ Ignore the 5.2/10 IMDB rating, we got brigaded the first couple of weeks it came out with a bunch of 1 star ratings from people who definitely didn't see the film and unfortunately IMDB won't remove them. - James 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
