Preorders for homebrew contest winners - Anyone?

Mr. Jones · Post by **Mr. Jones** » Tue May 11, 2004 3:18 pm

Ok, I'm sure that most of you promptly dished out the credit cards and purchased the 2 homebrew games that won the programming contest late last month. Basically, I wanted to find out who's plunked down the cash.

(And is anyone excited about them being released this month besides me?)

Wow.

NO ONE preordered Inhabitants and Maqiupai? These look like 2 really decent games, fellas. Where's the love?

While I'm not able to give any details, there have been pre-orders for the games. So there is good interest. We're going to have some fun up at the MGC promoting the thing.

I know I'm partial to Inhabitants, but its got a lot more gameplay than the beta version that's out there, and looks better, too

Just in case nobody knows, here are some of the highlights of the release version of Inhabitants.

Two scoring modes, with four different variations on the theme.
Unlockable game modes and tilesets.
Brand new music (It's good, trust me

The ability to create music swap discs with Audio CD's, or OGG Vorbis files
4 player multiplayer mode.
And downloadable content in the form of Bonus packs, new tilesets and backgrounds packaged into VMI files that you download to your VMU.

Thats just a short list.

Anyways, sorry for blabbering on.

Yeah, I'm pretty pleased with the response for the games so far. I expect that these will both be extremely popular Dreamcast homebrew releases! The final games for both of them turned out to be light years ahead of what I was even expecting! I am literally blown away by the quality

Mr Jones, I'm definitely excited about them being released!

I've been looking forward to this for over six months (wow!), and I can't believe that it's finally here. I've really been meaning to preorder these titles, and I was just about to, and then, something big and unexpected came up last weekend, and I'm actually having to sell off some of the new DC games that I've only recently purchased (including these big recent Japanese releases!).

... but, I am definitely trying to see about preordering, and I should know by Monday, which is a week before the projected ship date, which is what I did for Puyo Puyo Fever and Psyvariar 2 (both of which I... might have to sell!

). We'll have to see...

(And, Inhabitants is sounding even better than I thought that it could... Unlockable and downloadable content? Sounds really fantastic!!)

Yeah, Inhabitants has a ton of awesome features that were built in

So does Maqiupai (Mah - Choo - Pie)... You'll be able to submit your best times to a Web site to compete with the best Maqiupai players from around the world!

New Title Screen
New 4 player shot
New 4 player shot, showing penalites
2 Player shot

Anyay, there are more here http://www.sevensoupcans.com/inhab_screens/

Barret7sc - you forgot to put a zero in front of the numbers of the pics in your urls. You put inhab18.png, instead of inhab018.png.

Either way, I'm ITCHIN' to play these. I'll now have something different to play with a friend of mine who tends to only like Puzzle Fighter and Puyo Fever.

I'm not looking!! ::runs away with hands over eyes::

I want it to be a surprise, when I'm playing the game... but, I am fairly tempted, though... should I look?

Post by **Christuserloeser** » Thu May 13, 2004 3:04 pm

I have to fix my car this week. I'm planning on buying though, asap... but if I pre-order I get a voucher, yes?

goatdan · Post by **goatdan** » Thu May 13, 2004 4:29 pm

Yes, preorders *through the GOAT Store, LLC Web site* get a 5% off coupon on a future purchase for preordering one game and a 10% off coupon for preordering them both.

I do not know if Lik-Sang is doing any special deals.

Barret7sc · Post by **Barret7sc** » Thu May 13, 2004 11:07 pm

Well, one more of the games is going to be ported to the DC, and we will show it off at the MGC. We're also begining preliminary work on a game for the GBA.

There are lots of the games I'd love to port over to the DC, but the main problems are 1) time, and 2) art. We don't have the source to all the games anymore (keep good backups folks) and they arent in C to begin with, so, yeah, its a big job.

I'm just glad Inhabitants is finished. I think everyone who orders it will be very satisfied with their purchase.
