TailChao Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 Quote And if this is about your wellbeing, I’m actually sorry if I came across as ‘pushy’. That was not (!) my intention No worries, I can see you want more games for a platform you're fond of - and that's great! Unfortunately, I can't make any promises that I'll create them because of how this one turned out. Luckily there's lots of other developers who are working with the 7800! Quote I wish you all the best whatever you pursue or do. Thanks, and likewise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theallknowingsause Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 (edited) I know you're not planning any re releases of Rikki & Vikki but, I bet a Gameboy color version would be cool, many more people own a Gameboy color then an Atari 7800, and with the Gameboy link cable you could play multiplayer!.. I know you are done with the game but I had this idea earlier today and thought it was an interesting one.

MrBeefy Posted November 25, 2019 Share Posted November 25, 2019 I understand why you don't want to make anymore 7800, and I also want to thank you for at least making this. I hope the Steam sales pick up. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck in whatever you decide to do next! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailChao Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Thanks, everyone. It's appreciated. If anything, whatever's next will have to be way better! 20 hours ago, Theallknowingsause said: I know you're not planning any re releases of Rikki & Vikki but, I bet a Gameboy color version would be cool, many more people own a Gameboy color then an Atari 7800, and with the Gameboy link cable you could play multiplayer!.. I know you are done with the game but I had this idea earlier today and thought it was an interesting one. Well, the point of doing Rikki & Vikki for the Atari 7800 was the hardware's effects on the visual design - not sales. The chance of making enough profit to feed an actual staff on cartridge sales alone, even on a popular old console, is very slim. For something like the GameBoy I'd rather do a completely different game that caters to that platform's strengths and brings something new to the library. Luckily you can pick up Donkey Kong '94 or Mole Mania instead. That way I don't have to shove any more cash into a furnace. Both of these were big influences on Rikki & Vikki's design and come highly recommended. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theallknowingsause Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Sorry for replying to this topic so much, I'm very passionate about this game and your work lol, anyway. Have you seen this yet? "RetroGameBoiz" mentioned your game in the description of their custom nes style Atari 7800 controllers! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailChao Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Hahaha, I had no idea! Edit : ...and yep - right there on the eBay item listing. Guess this is the brand I'll recommend to customers now. Edited November 26, 2019 by TailChao 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hastor Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 As an owner of one of those controllers from that seller, I will say I was happy with it and it didn't have that cheap 'third party controller' feel. I'd honestly like one for my NES. They also make a sweet dual pad Robotron controller for 7800 that I love, but it's a bit more expensive as it's all 3D printed. It has a switch allowing it to work with dual stick 2600 games as well (makes button 2 become controller 2's fire button instead). I endorse the game and the controller as great companions! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted November 26, 2019 Share Posted November 26, 2019 Just waiting for your next 7800 release that will be even better like you said? ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBeefy Posted November 27, 2019 Share Posted November 27, 2019 Anyone who doesn't already own this on Steam should probably check it out in the store right now. That's a steal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fred Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Wow, I just found out about this game and bought it! Awesome graphics and game play. A Christmas present to myself.

+rdemming Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Yeah, my copy is currently waiting at the post office waiting to be picked up after handling over €24.33 (around $26.77) import taxes and administration fees. Together with the $24.99 shipping, the shipping+taxes is almost as much as the price of the game itself. But I'm sure it will be totally worth the price ? As compensation for the import taxes I took advantage of the 90% discount to buy the steam version too ? With the current price (till 3 December) of the steam version there is no reason to not buy it. Robert 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailChao Posted November 29, 2019 Author Share Posted November 29, 2019 Unfortunately I can't get the international prices any lower, but yes - one perk of the Windows version is that digital shipping is much more affordable. Also, reminder for anyone who ordered the Atari 7800 version recently or is planning on ordering it soon : your copies may take a few days to ship out due to the holiday season. You'll get a tracking number through PayPal when the game is on its way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a reminder that the Autumn Sale will end on December 3rd. If the posts above weren't enough of a hint, Rikki & Vikki is on sale for the Dutly Discounted price of one dollar. That's two players for the price of one - and less than a penny per stage. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely can't resist! Thanks for the bargin! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 This game sold for a inexpensive price. Heck single screen pokey game costs as much or more. Could have charged 79.99 or more. But you are a nice guy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
