Hello everyone,
I’m planning to develop a Starfox-like game for the Virtual Boy and I’m trying to find out if there is enough interest in crowdfunding the development. It’s also planned to release a Limited Collectors Edition of the game on a cartridge (CIB). This cartridges will be available for purchase only to supporters of certain limited tier levels. If you are interested and want to support this crowdfunding project, send me an PM to get more information.

I will participate !

Yep count me in too!

I’d participate 🙂

I’m down

I definitely want to be able to support where I can and very excited to learn more. I like the Patreon approach myself, which I suppose is related to the top story on PVB. PM incoming, count me in!

i completely dislike patreon campaigns with a monthly collections model. i prefer to spend my limited funds once on a well researched purchase. kickstarter as proven itself to be a nice service for the couple of times i have used it.

i’m interested in this project, especially after reading his proposal. however, i would very much like to experience a completed 1 level demo before committing the funds for a CIB cart.

I’m down, although like others would prefer to see a little demo first, sounds exciting

is this video related to this project?

or is that from something else entirely

That’s someone else’s work.

That’s someone else’s work.

That is MK’s work.

if its not over 200$ to join in, i’d totally be in!

the current plan has a limited $50 tier with a $99 CIB option. so $150 or the same price as HF. my issue is not the price, its the limited quantity line. everyone who wants one should be able to get one. it seems like this plan may be a little early. he may be better off waiting to see if the case and connector posts go on to produce usable parts.

limiting extras like bonus maps, books, t-shirts is much more acceptable to me than limiting who can get a copy of the game. after all isn’t the entire point of this project to produce a new VB game?

We don’t know the situation. He might need the money to be able to spend time in developing the game. The version he might release might have extra tracks and maybe another version for everyone?

I’m going to help him out however I can, but i’m sure he’ll post more information. I wonder if that demo was maybe part of the intro of the game…

He’s the one that did the fighting engine Hyper fighter was based on, and his 3-d car game is still one of my favorite home-brews.

extremely smooth and great 3-D.

If there is a chance for a new quality release for the VB i’m in 😊

according to the proposal i read the cart will have hidden/bonus levels the ROM will not. obviously i want the cart, because i want to play the full experience. i am all for giving him the $50 up front so he has the money to develop the cart. i just don’t want to miss out on a chance to add the cart for $99 because they are limited in quantity or the tier to buy-in is limited.

i’m also concerned that a limited cart release will bring the same level of negativity that the HF price gouging did. i fully understand that this community is not in a position to set up a 1000 cart run production. perhaps we need to start moving in that direction? i honestly feel that we are at a point that we need to focus on cases and connectors so we can finally get past the donor bottle neck.

i would also like to help as much as possible. MK only needs to ask.

I also would like to support this, depending on the total costs. In this day and age unfortunately you never know how long you will still have your day job here in my country. 😉

Count my ass in for crowdfunding your work! I’ve seen your demos. I know it would be quality 🙂

This sounds so awesome. Count me in in all aspects of it. Anything I can do to help!

I would like to support a new VB game. However you should relaese a working prototype first. And furthermore please use Kickstarter. Collecting money in a forum isn’t very trustworthy imo. With Kickstarter you may reach a larger audience as well.
