PkK Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Yesterday I got a shipment of cartridge cases for my Homebrew Kits (http://colecovision.eu/ColecoVision/development/Homebrew%20kit.shtml). Besides the popular black, I also had a few cases of different colors made: Philipp 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WispFollower Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 Those colors are looking awesome! I have been a bit out of the loop lately. Are you planning on any new game releases soon? I am a huge fan of your games. Either way, thank you for your contributions to the scene. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a huge fan of your games. Either way, thank you for your contributions to the scene. Currently the only game project that is likely to result in a release in 2017 is Io. It would get yellow cartridges. I also have game ideas for the black, brown, green, blue and purple cases, but those are still further from completion.

PkK Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 Besides the colors shown here, there will also be gray. I might take another picture when I get the first gray ones. There are very few red ones left. I did not order more. Philipp P.S.: On my notebook screen, the picture looks a bit less colorfull than the cartridges, especially for the green ones. Maybe I'll take another photo one under different light conditions. The real colors are close to: RAL 9005 Jet blackRAL 5021 Water blueRAL 8002 Signal brownRAL 6029 Mint greenRAL 1016 Sulfur yellowRAL 4009 Pastel violet and for the ones I don't have yet: RAL 7047 Telegrey 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Just curious: Are these the only colors you could get? I'm wondering if dark blue is available... Nice colors, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PkK Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 Just curious: Are these the only colors you could get? I'm wondering if dark blue is available... Nice colors, anyway. Diffrent colors could have been chosen. I did choose black, since it is mostly okay for any game, and is by far the most popular among buyers of the Homebrew kits. I did choose the other colors since they match well with games that I intend to release in the future. The cases I ordered now will last a long time, so there probably will be no additional colors in the next few years. Philipp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PkK Posted December 31, 2016 Author Share Posted December 31, 2016 The colors in this picture look much much better than the ones in the first post. Both pictures were taken in the same place, in the middle of the same table. The first with natural light from the sides on a cloudy day only. The second with additional artificial light from the top (i.e. I switched on the light in the room). When I get the gray cases, I'll update http://www.colecovision.eu/ColecoVision/development/Homebrew%20kit.shtml with a picture including all colors.

Philipp Not sure what kind of camera you are using, but maybe it has a way of adjusting the white balance? Your colors would be a lot more accurate that way.
