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 believe asking to provide a working prototype prior to funding is missing the entire point of the funding. The ask is to provide funding to allow the developer the time to properly put forth to create the product without having to make too much of a financial sacrifice to their own livelihood. I would be very skeptical myself except for the vast amount of work and releases that M.K. has already produced without any funding and has provided to the community out of free will.
Have you seen:

Or acknowledged that M.K. decoded Mario’s Tennis to allow multiplayer and provided the patch to the community for all to enjoy? These are only examples from the past couple months. I am relatively new to this community but can see the hard work and time that was put in.

Yea you’re right, well put. I think people are just excited for any additional info at all. It’s very exciting stuff!
Not the best time at the moment, since holidays are always a VERY (feel free to read ridiculous) expensive period in our family. But I’m interested if I can spend the money at the right time. No promises yet, but I might.
Any updates on this project? Sounds like a cool game to bring to the system, and would potentially bring the Virtual Boy homebrew games to a new production level.
Assuming this project is still happening, I’m interested as well. Sent a PM
I am actually worried as he hasn’t logged on in 8 months. I hope he’s doing okay.
