LynxJam 2023 "Same but different" game jam physical release available now

[Igor]

Hi All!

 

We hosted LynxJam 2023 at the end of last year and received 12 mini games for the Lynx. If you haven't had a chance to check them out, you can see the Jam info page here - https://itch.io/jam/lynxjam-2023, from there go to Submissions and you can download ROMs for each of the games separately (they're free of course).

 

For those of you who want to get your hands on a physical cartridge (just the cart or in a box with a cartridge stand), we've made it available here -

 

https://k-retro.com/homebrew-games/382-198-lynxjam-2023-same-but-different.html

 

 

 

 

If you've seen our game releases before, the box itself is a clear PET box, the same as used as protector sleeves for the original Lynx game boxes. The game insert this time around is printed double sided and the cart stand is an improved design with a two-colour 3D print.

 

We've already started to ship some of the pre-orders and the first batch of these is 1/3 gone, but once we run out, we'll make more.

I had dreams to code in the missing parts of my game and add a soundtrack. But somehow I have been lazy enjoying operas and musicals with my wife lately.

Actually... I am learning to use Furnace Tracker as I want to use Tia on the 7800 and Mikey on the Lynx.

 

But this week I am training for a dance judge examination in Munich next week...

 

The game will be finished and fun to play. Later...

Since @Kojote is on the forum, maybe he wants to say something more about the magazine.
