Not sure if anyone still cares or will even see this hah…but I got a full refund. Ebay said it would come right from them, but PayPal makes it look like the seller himself sent it. I don’t care either way. This was a terrible experience- I told the seller that all he had to do was email one sentence to FedEx saying they could refund me directly and I would go away forever. He didn’t do it, but instead contacted ebay and got them to close the case in his favor since the tracking said “delivered”. All the while, FedEx kept closing the case if I didn’t hound them daily, and they refused to contact the buyer directly. Luckily I had evidence from FedEx that the seller neglected to put my apartment # on the package, and that’s how I was able to appeal the case and win 🙂
I was wondering if you got your money back. Stuff like this keeps me away from buying something from ebay.

I just had a closer look at the manual. I was wondering if you used mine after all or if you created a new one from the scratch.
I took the background images from your manual, so the light red, checkered court walls, as well as your image of the Virtual Boy controller, and brought them into my Open Office document, which was otherwise made by me completely from scratch. All of the in-game screenshots in this manual were made by me hitting the “Print Screen” key as I played the game on the Reality Boy emulator and then pasting them into the document. I also revised my original English translations a good bit, so that they would read more smoothly in English. Moreover, I condensed all the information onto far fewer pages than the original Japanese instruction booklet, to help save Uncle Tusk some printing costs.
Thank you very much, by the way, for the background images and the controller image. If I would have had to have made those by myself, they wouldn’t have turned out so good.
Heh, that explains it. It was so strange looking at it because it felt like my version but then again it looked different.
I usually do everything as a multi-layered vector file. If you need something (like the controller image) for another manual feel free to ask. I can simply export that part of the page for you (or give you the whole file). Would save you some time on photoshop.

Hi I am new here… just wanted to introduce myself.
He guys. Good to have you here. As far as the reproductions go I would suggest you to pick up Bound High, SpaceSquash and Faceball when you get a chance as those are fun games. Gundam went up in value pretty fast but it is actually not that great of a game.

Fishbone might happen next..maybe. Thunderstruck wanted to make the levels longer and some minor adjustments first (prob after the comp is over)
No idea what adjustments you are taking about. I might add an endless mode to put in more value.

And you of course are a legendary coder who pumps out professional-quality games in weeks. And our standards were of medieval quality before you came along. And we are all idiots needing hand-holding having no idea how to accomplish things. And nobody else can think of cool ideas to implement.
I’m not so sure that Guy Perfect’s vanity will allow him to see the sarcasm in your statements. He’ll probably take everything that you wrote as a compliment.

Agreed. Its Christmas, everyone deserves a break and a few beers and mince pies.
The time frame was bad for me from the beginning. I was able to invest a couple of weeks into my project by now and I’m sure I could put together a demo till the end of the year. However, I might be able to make it more of a game with more time.
Heh, I wish I would be that far. I wanted to start for a long time now but I had all kinds of stuff happening. In the first two month work just kept me too busy. Also, my vb displays wouldn’t work anymore. I also had some problems with my FlashBoy. Runnerpack fixed my displays by now and Minestorm sent me a new Flashboy.
I had some time to polish my engine and build up some general stuff though. I looked into affine maps and all kinds of other stuff and created a small tech-demo which I use to try stuff out.
My first idea was to take some NES game (some classic like Metroid, Mega Man or Castlevania) and build some kind of port. However, I find that idea somehow boring and decided to go for something rather unique. So the plan is to take the tech-demo I’ve build so far and make a playable game-demo out of it.
