Thank you.

 

We want to know how many could be interested in buying a phisical copy. If enough we could produce it.

This is a tricky one. Everyone loves a physical release but not the £50 price tag that seems the norm for Lynx boxed releases. You've also offered the rom for free. Maybe you could add a donate button or limit the physical release to a set number of copies, so it becomes 'collectable'.

We don't do it for business, if we have to produce some carts we have to know we can recover the cost and possibly gain few hundreds € to cover the cost for making other games.

 

The donate button doesn't bring money, It's already on itch.io and I have bad feedback from the other Lynx developers too about it.

 

Anyway we will try to keep the price as low as possible. Thank yoo @BadPricey for your feedback.

Are you saying people don’t donate or that people are unhappy you have a donate button there?

 

I would buy a cart.

Hi Nop,

I suspect this isn't limited to just the Lynx community but this could be the reason people aren't donating?

 

Is there a way you can provide the demo for free but for the full release you have to pay? I use Beatport and they operate in this way. At least then you'll be getting paid for your efforts. 

BadPriceys.

I'd also be up for a copy of the physical release.

I made a short video of the game
