lapetino Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Are there any developments on this game? I read the book over the winter and loved it. Nice work, all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serious Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Definitely. At the end of the day, we needed to service the contest and that worked out well. Now we need to find the right time to make it a real game. I'm torn because both Kevin and I loved the experience, but would probably prefer making a new game from scratch. But since we are so close, it's tough to move on - people genuinely want it to evolve. Ugh. And then there is the pesky day job which turns into all consuming work. Which, BTW, we play Medieval Mayhem at the office at least three times a week. Bump.. Just curious if you will actually be revising this game, or making another one soon.. P.S. I am extremely disappointed I didn't find out about this until after the contest.. I needed the DeLorean.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am guessing at this point that there is not going to be an official release. Would you grant permission for me to have a custom cart made? I would really appreciate it if you would. P.S. This is a label I'd use for it: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubxcube Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) My turn to resurrect a slit lay old-ish thread. Anything going on with this title? I happened across some talk and pics about it on Twitter via the AtariAge account. Very curious about this title.

KevinMos3 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) I played this game a year or two ago, but too bad I wasn't aware of the contest at the time. I love the game and hope it still gets an official release. I remember seeing instructions for the game back when I first found out about it. It seems they're gone now that the contest is over... or I can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone still have the instructions archived somewhere, or know where to find them? I know I'm really late to the game on this, but I just found out there was an easter egg last night, so I had to find it for myself. I was successful in finding it and took this pic which led me to a website where the 2nd part of the contest had taken place. Of course, it's different content now, but it's still cool that it leads to an active website. And to hold me over until the official release, (which is very hard to wait for), I had to make myself a cart mockup. Oh, and now I have to read the book!

mloveridge17 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 ...another bump from someone patiently (and until now, silently) waiting for this cart to become a reality. Oh, and a question. Is it possible to take the BIN file used to play the game on an emulator like Stella and program it onto a cart? If so, how would a newbie such as myself go about it in the least expensive way?

+save2600 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Just saw this game being advertised on the latest AA Store flyer. Looks like a really cool game! Curious as to what's been changed or what's been addressed since the vid on the first page... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 We are still working on it. It is maybe 95% done, but it still needs some polishing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 We are still working on it. It is maybe 95% done, but it still needs some polishing. To that end, we are looking for some people who are willing to play the game on real hardware (using a Harmony Cart) to help test for bugs and to give us feedback on how to further improve the game. Please PM me if you are interested in helping. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoyx Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 (edited) Did anyone win the Delorean?

G-type Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 I loved Ready Player One... I don't have a harmony cart, but I'm definitely interested to try this game. I'm currently reading Ernie's 2nd book, Armada. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 when talking about video game culture, both Ready Player One and Armada have a very strong Arcade/Atari 2600 bias. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maiki Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 So you have obtained permission from the original programmers to improve the game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 So you have obtained permission from the original programmers to improve the game? Yes, in fact Darrell Spice, Jr. and (especially) Thomas Jentzsch have put in a great deal of time and effort into the game, fixing some issues and making improvements in others. Plus, Rhindle the Red has created tons of new graphics for the game as well. We're at a point now where we need to bring in some additional playtesters to get feedback so we can further polish the game. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 (edited) Status is unchanged. Polishing and most importantly more feedback/playtesting are missing. Edited May 8, 2016 by Thomas Jentzsch 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Jentzsch Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Thanks! And yes it motivates, a bit. But I am not freaking out about it in its current state. IMO the game is missing something. And that's the problem. So I am looking out for help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's the problem. So I am looking out for help. Have you considered talking to the author? I'm sure he would love to give the game a little something extra, maybe as a reward for beating hard mode. Perhaps some bits of the first novel that got cut out because they didn't flow well, or maybe some info about the second novel/the first chapter or something.
