Okay List,
After my questions from last time here is where things sit ... the list is
not going to go away, so no worries there.
There were a fair number of you interested in the Meteor Blaster DX
Re-release, and I have decided to go ahead and do this. In fact all the
digital assets were either uploaded or sent to the CD Replication house
today for the CD pressing. This is going to be a small run (300 units), and
there are a few differences between this and the original 2004 release.
2013 Updates:
New "MindRec" opening logo when the CD starts
Loop has been replaced with Loop v2 -- same frustrating as hell game, now
with powerups.
Couple of bug fixes in Implode Caravan Edition
Addition of a 5th ship to Meteor Blaster DX (seen in the Developers
Edition)
Several new or changed hidden features
Minor GFX enhancements in MB.
The CD packaging is also going to be different. There will be an official
UPC code on the game, and the white tray will be replaced with a clear tray
(and the inner tray artwork is an advertisement for Xymati). Including the
traditional white tray would have increased the cost of the project by
almost $200.
I am hoping to have the CDs in house around May 1.
Have not completely decided on pricing yet, leaning toward $15 for all Turbo
List members during the first month; $20 after that (and for non members).
I am not accepting pre-orders yet, I want to make sure that the CDs made do
actually work (I've been through this before).... but as always, let me know
if you have any questions.
