+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Everyone relax.. your mild inquiry and light-hearted space humor after over 3 months with no updates regarding a prepaid game is making people anxious. FTFY 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Im sure other people are anxious. But to be honest, I am not really, it is kind of cool to watch a game develop over time to become refined and polished. Yes, I have already paid for like 5 of these if I remember correctly. Im not not worried about being ripped off. is anyone else? How about instead of little smart comments, either ask for a refund and stop trolling the threads. If you already got your refund, then stop spamming. You are not helping the situation at all. You are dividing the Intv community in my opinion.Go do something constructive or go for a walk, it cant be healthy being so angry about these 40 dollar game pre orders, seriously. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those in glass houses............. What's dividing the community, working off that assumption... the fact that two games were paid for a loooong time ago, and nothing has come about other than mostly gifs, or the fact that some people aren't happy with that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Any news ? Rocketeer and the Bee3 cart design are being worked on at the moment. As soon as one of those projects completes, Mars Minis will be getting some love. You can see the current state of Mars Mini's Cavern game in the first minute of this video :- 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Ya got me! You called out a self admitted spammer. Got anything else? May as well lay it all out on the table right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 Everyone relax.. this is a fun-time hobby. Its been discussed a few times on AA, whether or not you can make a living from homebrew games and its pretty much a given that the answer is "no". Thats what makes it into a fun hobby. This is a discussion I started a few years ago on that same topic :- http://atariage.com/forums/topic/169489-making-a-living-from-programming-homebrew/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, you know it's not about money. I really don't understand your post actually ^^ Who divide the community ? I wanted something constructive by asking some news... and we received some news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Thanks for the update, GB. It's nice to know it's being worked on, although I completely understand that completing Bee3 must happen first. Can't wait to play Mars Minis and hear it's sweet soundtrack 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+grips03 Posted June 21, 2015 Share Posted June 21, 2015 bump, is game getting close to coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted June 22, 2015 Author Share Posted June 22, 2015 Caverns and Descent are pretty much there as mini games. Menace still needs quite a bit doing to it. I have an idea for the game "stats" screen and I also need to finalise the attract sequence (add credits and so on). I'm going to keep it to 3 mini games as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+JasonlikesINTV Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Bump for a sweet game I'm anxiously awaiting in honor of NASA confirming flowing, liquid water on Mars! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 A little Dave Brubeck action in Mars Mini! Love it. It actually makes Revs joke work. I'll take 5 too! But have only payed for two. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 The first post says... "The game has speech but no music or sound effects." But I don't hear anything. Did I miss something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the IntelliVoice on real iron? In jzintv you need to add "-v1" to the command line to get speech. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
