I just can't bring myself to do Facebook

Be strong.  If you join Facebook then some asshole will get you to join Twitter.  I've been using Twitter for 2 years and I still don't understand why the fuck anyone would want to use it.  Oh, and if you join Twitter then they'll want you to join Pinterest and the next thing you know you'll have your pants down around your ankles in a bathroom stall waiting for the next stranger to walk in to help you flush your load if you know what I mean.

That's exactly what I did.  I occasionally log in when there's any news that's on FB.

It's pretty good if you use it just as a news feed for stuff you're interested in. And the PCE groups.

What, you mean that Facebook can be used for something else besides annoying people?

So, can I send you money/BJ's now?

[Opethian]

etch "touch me" on my card pls

[Psycho Punch]

Legit question: Is the art on the card embossed? If negative why not?

oh, snap!  cleveland gets lebron and atlantean in the same year?  cleveland is the promised land (said no one.... ever)

Same question here ;)

[turboswimbz]

Can't wait for this one. 

[TheClash603]

I was contemplating driving to Cleveland to pick this bad boy up tomorrow, but 6 copies and my tendency to wake up in the afternoon + 3 hour drive means there is a chance of sadness when I get there.

Good luck at the show and I can't wait until the forum sales open up!

[Psycho Punch]

Hello. I am Japanese Telephone Booth.

I am serious. It would be cool to have embossed art on the card, since it's made with, you know, a 3D printer.
It's cool either way but it would give me more raging erections if done that way.

[ParanoiaDragon]

waiting, waiting, waiting for PCEFX orders to open   Looking forward to shooting fishies n' stuff.

[OldMan]

It would be cool to have embossed art on the card....

Sorry, but the printer doesn't have that kind of resolution. We couldn't even get a decent Aetherbyte logo printed on it (Yes, I tried) .

Trying to model the artwork would be extremely time-intensive, as well. Just not worth it - we would rather have people playing the game.

[Arkhan Asylum]

We sold out of the small batch we took.  People were peeing themselves.

The protocard people are being taken care of first and foremost here.  Once they are all squared away (I just need the stragglers to reply so I can get things together), we will setup and announce that the game is for sale.

You will all be the first to know this detail.

[Opethian]

This is my reply face

dem.
fuckin.
pictures.

[spenoza]

Yeah, you had a pretty nice setup, there. I especially liked the booth babe. She had a cute girlfriend, too, though I dunno 'bout that fro...

Congrats on a successful debut!

[NightWolve]

Aaah, so you brought your girlfriend along to help sell your wares... Clever! No wonder you sold out!

[CrackTiger]

Is your female friend dressed as a megaman or final fantasy character?

Your outfit reminds me of that euro only DC platformer.

[spenoza]

My bad joke aside, I think he actually looks a little like Eddie Van Halen in the 80s. Eddie had his hair feathered and Arkhan's is more fro/curly, but the shape and general body type are similar enough.

[Arkhan Asylum]

nah she was  just wearing normal stuff.  people thought I dressed like that just for the show.

It was pretty funny.

[wildfruit]

I pretty much envy that hair seeing as I'm going bald.

[NightWolve]

nah she was just wearing normal stuff.

Hey, uh, Ark, would you be offended if I said that I, uh, wanted to play "Pyramid Plunder-her" or "Plunder her Pyramid" with your girlfriend there ?? ;) Sorry, had to get the joke in.

[NecroPhile]

I wanna get something in and it ain't a joke.

[Mathius]

What? Like a "meat-in greet"?

Dirty old Mathius pulls through.  I laughed.  Points to you sir!

I WANT MY ATLANTEAN

[ctophil]

Oh yeah, I definitely want to get Atlantean on a Hucard.  I love homebrew games, and I get them whenever they are available.  I looked at the sample video of the game.   It looks great so far.  Keep up the good work! 

[thesteve]

I want one

[esadajr]

Oh yeah, I definitely want to get Atlantean on a Hucard.

I'll settle for a digital release

[Dicer]

I want both...

[NightWolve]

No way I would do that myself! If they uploaded a ROM file anywhere, the whole incentive to buy the game would be destroyed. And now with good working flashcarts like Turbo Everdrive, you wouldn't have to limit yourself to emulators either! When they sell out of every last physical HuCard that they're willing to produce, then maybe it'd be something to consider, but certainly not now in my opinion.

I disagree, it's going to be a collectors item for sure...I plan on digital and the real deal, but to be honest I doubt the actual hu-card will go in my machine except to test it. The digital release will be tagged so if some scum decided to leak it, it'll be traceable.

Many people won't be able to get the psychical copy right away, why deny them the right to play it if there are means and ways to provide it?

But we are getting off topic, Let's go go go This is my B-day present to myself.

[NightWolve]

Just let 'em make all their HuCards and sell 'em out, that's it! They can do something that you suggest afterwards. Win-win. I would NOT give up ANY temporary anti-piracy situation that there is here as I don't think any potential buyer owns any of those HuCard reader/dumper devices out there; I've never seen one, have no idea who even dumped the whole NEC library, etc.

Because you claim "many" won't get the physical copy right away, the producers should be denied the opportunity to maximize sales of a physical product that they've likely spent thousands of hours working on ?? ... I say, you show some patience, let 'em sell out of the physical copies instead of pressuring them into some kind of digital release... It's not much of a consolation prize that the image could be tagged and the leaker traced, the damage would still be done. Even if it only costs you 15% in physical sales because of the temptation, that's still significant a loss... I would not risk it.

Who's pressuring them? They already stated there would be a digital option...I didn't magically come up with it.

Again getting off track...just be excited for it.

[NightWolve]

Your argument, "Many people won't be able to get the psychical copy right away, why deny them the right to play it if there are means and ways to provide it?" is pressuring, cheering, advocating, etc. for it right now, the sooner the better, etc.

My point was simple enough, let 'em sell out of the physical copies first, and they can do the digital option afterwards if so they choose (they've stated it, as you say). You disagreed with that, though.

This is the last thing I'll say on the matter, I don't know why you're all over my shit about it?

No-one is pressuring, they already said there would be a digital release for those that cant get the card right away, not my words...

It's not up to you or me...

Everyone is excited, and they will make plenty of sales...but I know they are taking the time and effort to assemble these things by hand, so I am willing to wait on a real copy...but again that is me, others will be killing each other to get the first completed cards.

Again, done discussing this aspect of the release...

I thought I defined what is a subtle form of pressuring/advocating/etc. which apparently you don't agree with. Eh never mind, I deleted my OG reply since this got too abrasive. Dicer is an OK dude, don't wanna poison relations in the future. Arkhan wasn't worth it anyway!

[Arkhan Asylum]

The game will get dumped as soon as an unfamiliar non-forumite ends up with a copy on batch like, 3 or something.

Pier Solar got dumped.  Atlantean will get dumped.

The ROM being available isn't going to impact the sales of these things.  People still go apeshit over buying real cards instead of torrenting the entire NEC library.  almost 100 PCEFX members want it.    Non PCEFX members also want it.

and, if someone would rather download it because some dick posted the ROM.... fine by me.

We didn't make the cards for people who aren't interested in owning a real one.


I don't think it'd be fair if PCEFX members especially, are unable to play the game for awhile because they haven't gotten their copy yet.


This removes that issue

[OldRover]

I want it. The real thing. I just can't afford it yet. But I will own it someday. In the meantime, the ROM will be just fine for me, and I have no problem shelling out the small cost for it. I have no interest in a pirated ROM.

[VestCunt]

I have no interest in a pirated ROM.

I plan to collect both the official ROM and the pirated ROM so I have a complete set.
