GenetixJ Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I'm liking the 'word of mouth' feel to the promotion of the game. It adds a layer of excitement I felt as a kid. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion Posted June 15, 2017 Author Share Posted June 15, 2017 @First Spear, the ad looks great! Screenshots look really nice. Stoked about the storyline/music. Charityware too! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikeguychicago Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 So much want! Does anyone know if this is going to include battery backup on the cart? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 So much want! Does anyone know if this is going to include battery backup on the cart? Battery backup is so 90s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeguychicago Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 (edited) Battery backup is so 90s. It's not like the Intellivision has adisk drive or flash card slots Edited January 10, 2018 by bikeguychicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intymike Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 It's not like the Intellivision has adisk drive or flash card slots But the carts with save function have flash memory and not battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+intvsteve Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 If the cart is made using LTO's JLP boards with flash, you can save state w/o battery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I heard that the game will use the revolutionary JLP architecture, which allows for game saves, expanded use of variables, and accelerator for some math/move operations (doesn't make a game faster, but lets a game stay at the same speed without slowing down for computationally-heavy ops). The game uses a lot of ROM (Freewheel Games clocks in their latest release at 92k, The Minstrel's Legend will be at least that), which also means using JLP. So, no battery, just Flash RAM for saving. The idea is to finish a game in 1-2 hours, and be motivated to play again, so saving probably won't be very necessary. The nerds at Intv Prime have put some thought into the replay value. Because TML is an Intellivision "RPG-ish" game, when a player completes the game they can play again and due to multiple paths and programmatic/random parts, winning once is not give a full formula for winning again. In contrast, a full RPG like Ultima V on the Apple II guides the player on a single path, when a player completes the game (n-hours/days later) they have little motivation to play it through again. So much want! Does anyone know if this is going to include battery backup on the cart? 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
First Spear Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 Rumor has it that Intv Prime is considering allowing some people to "donate early" to the game, to get into the game. There are a few places for see NPCs, so instead of filling them with generically represented characters, they would be represented by people that pay to be stamped in the game. Since the release will be charityware with no profits made, Intv Prime is looking at ways to defray some of the overhead with production costs by letting a few people be "immortalized" in a cartridge. For example, instead of buying equipment from "The Merchant", wouldn't it be cool to buy equipment from "The Merchant Cee Marto"? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
