e5frog Posted December 19, 2019 Author Share Posted December 19, 2019 I'll purchase a certain amount of components which will be enough to make probably double the amount already paid for, then calculate the real cost before offering these. There's customs fees and a few other details that might get more expensive than planned or if something goes wrong and has to be redone, startup costs for having things printed etc. We'll see, some parts have already arrived. I believe I have enough cartridge shells to cover more than the already bought ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masschamber Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 between this and atari2600land's golf tri game thing channel f development sure is exciting! (yeah I know it is only 2 carts, but they'll be for the channel F!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e5frog Posted January 17, 2020 Author Share Posted January 17, 2020 Prices are set, and it ended up in the expected price range: $97, free standard shipping, registered shipping is $11 more. I'm ready to take on five more buyers, feel free to send your payment. Everything isn't 100% done yet (box graphics, some code and also waiting for the music code to be finished and sent to me), as well as waiting for reply from the printer's that they have got the right kind of paper in stock. But prices for materials are in so that's done. As there are 13 cartridges to make at this time, don't buy one yet if you are impatient needing to wait between payment and delivery.

Reveal hidden contents I will probably ask for opinions about the box here in the thread, the mockup is a 5min job, well a little longer, had to piece together letters. Peter Trauner sent me his latest code which has a few updates I didn't know about. Here's the original message: 15 years after Peter Trauner's release I have now asked permission to release it as a cart of its own (and it was OK). I feel confident enough after selling Pac-Man and Multi-Carts for about ten years no, got things sorted out to take on a new cart for myself. I'd like you to write down if you're interested and I'll present further details in this thread and make it into a sales thread. Some things are of course expensive in small amounts so the more people who can share the costs the cheaper it will be, estimation is around $100, first round is always has the highest cost. Here's a quick idea on the box, same style as later cartridge (18-26), instruction booklet may also be included, haven't decided yet... If you're not interested, perhaps suggest another title.

e5frog Posted January 22, 2020 Author Share Posted January 22, 2020 Progress so far: Box motif is final, decided not to use mirrored R nor russian spelling and not the Nintendo image used in the mockup... and also not the old nor new official Tetris text logo. Decided to also make an instruction booklet, trying to decide what to write in it apart from basic instructions. I could use some help there from a native English-speaking fellow. Got the theme music today from "utz", haven't listen to it yet. It's going to play with the new title image. I'm going to add sound effect(s), at least when getting four rows, possibly a graphical effect as well. Going to change initial drop profile to lowest version. Being able to move sideways more than one step per drop step would be preferable. If feasible, different colored blocks. Considering using a single centered playfield when playing single. Quick drop by pressing down could be useful insted of dragging the block down. These are my wanted additions, some are mostly done, some not started. I may not implement all of them, it needs to get done in reasonable time as well - even though I could release it as it is. Still waiting for the last parts to be delivered and print shop getting the proper cardboard. Is there any feature YOU would want to see in the game?

Tombstone Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I sent a payment earlier, so if there is still one left I will gladly take it. If ianoid was interested in the last one then he should have dibs, since I sent the money after his post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tombstone Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 Same for lazzeri. I don’t want to take a Tetris he had already inquired about prior to my payment. If you have an additional one, i will take it, but ianoid and lazzeri asked prior to me so please prioritize them. Sean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e5frog Posted February 11, 2020 Author Share Posted February 11, 2020 Tombstone and lazzeri on the lat two spots I feel comfortable to offer at the moment. It's not the last ones made, there will be more. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
