This is one of the nicest-looking homebrew demos for the system.

Hi Slidell,

 

Your absolutely right bro. :thumbsup: :)

 

NeoNoPanepon2 is a fantastic looking homebrew game that I supported this project a few years back. The gentleman that was developing the game goes by the name of Blastar, and has a Patreon page and YouTube channel for gamers to support his work. He wanted to develop the game over to the Neo Geo CD originally. If all went well, he would've included an MVS and AES physical version of the title later on. 

 

However, the game progress stalled. Blastar said he was experiencing a large workload and was avoiding a splitscreen towards the game. He also said it wasn't suitable for a 2 player mode. So he hired an additional worker to help with the continuation of the project. But that was in March of 2021. 

 

This's what he said in the comment section of Patreon.

 

"After the original pixel artist has no more time to work on suitable assets I contacted other artists - but it seems to be hard to continue this very special style. Additionally the engine is designed for classic jump&run gameplay and is very close to hardware to get the maximum out of it (sprite count, splitscreen, 50fps w/o slowdowns etc.) but most artist want to create multiplatform games in metrovania style, in my opinion it doesn't work on AES/NGCD nor on MVS. Currently I do not know how to continue here."

 

Here's Blastar's Patreon page to read more fellas.

Now THIS homebrew title I hope isn't abandoned. But looks like this project is. :|

 

The game is/was called, "Neo Thunder X". It was in development from a homebrewer in Italy called, 7blackjack8.

 

The game had a such cool looking intro that I thought was just stunning to say the least. Like one of the best I ever seen that I really had high hopes for a physical Neo-Geo release. But that stalled as well with no further updates mentioned since. Last video shared by the team was in 2017. I tried to contact the developer, but no replies were submitted back towards me for over a year. 

 

Tragic really. I mean it had potential to be a real gem if worked on correctly. :(

Yes, that's really sad. I wrote about Blastar's game almost one year ago, but at that time it was already unclear if the project would progress. 😔

Unfortunately, NeoGeo is a difficult system for homebrew developers, since producing new carts isn't cheap (and you won't sell as many games as on NES or Game Boy obviously), and the NeoGeo CD is not as popular.

It's really a gamble. Asked myself often enough if it's stupid what I try to accomplish there.

No worries Mike. You're a genius. :)

 

A man like yourself can achieve anything bro. We love your works and glad to support you every step of the way. :)

I would be happy to lend some help with the graphics. What does he need done? I’ll have to see what he already has for pixel art, so I can keep the theme cohesive.

Excellent that you like to give Blastar a helping hand Mike. I wish I could have better communication with him. The best place to contact Blastar is though his Patreon page at the moment. I wonder if he's on Facebook or Twitter.

Best way to contact him initially is through Yaronet Neo Geo dev forums. ;) (in my experience )

If Blastar is in need of pixel artists, I know several on Newgrounds, Pixeljoint, and ConceptArt.org who can help.

Oh wow! That's great to know Slidell. Thank you for mentioning this and would like to help Blastar as much as possible bro. :thumbsup: :)

Oh that's right Michael. I forgot to mention Yaronet's Neo Geo Dev Forums. In fact, I follow him on Twitter as well.  Thank you for mentioning this with us bro. It completely slipped my mind. :thumbsup: :)

Wow, i knew about Neo Thunder X and it really impressed me but first time i have seen NeoNoPanepon2 and it looks awesome, would love to play it in my NeoGeo CD Z!. Too bad both games are in hiatus, hopefully work in boths games will be resumed eventually.

I agree Pancho. I hope in the near future that both games will be offered to the public to play for the community to enjoy. I hope nothing happen to them. Maybe they just concentrated on other projects for the time being.

Hi guys,

 
Found a Viewpoint t-shirt to add to the shelf. First time I had ever seen one. Seller said he couldn’t remember if he got it at a trade show or from his distributor when it came out. #vpstg #NeoGeo

Hi guys,

 

Amazing to see this. :)

 

 
32 YEARS AGO TODAY [12/18/1990] I ordered the USA Neo-Geo Gold System (AES + 2 Joysticks + Baseball Stars Pro), and a copy of Top Player's Golf (My XMAS gift that year). It was an amazing time to be a gamer! #NeoGeo #AES #XMAS #VGOReceipts

Hi guys,

 

I wish I was this lucky on Christmas morning. :)

 
#XMAS #NEOGEO morning 1990. :). These are screen grabs from a Sony Handycam 8mm tape. 1. Opening AES, 2. Opening BSP, 3. Opening Top Player's Golf. The AES I bought with my own money, and TPG was my big gift that year.
