Close. The real host of the contest was MetaFox (it was the DreamON contest) and I just offered to help by publishing and distributing the games.

If anyone wants any nifty Inhabitants and Maqiupai coasters... I've only thrown about about 200 of each so far...

Lastly, I will as always keep everyone as updated as possible about any news I can divulge. I basically am just the middle man that helps get stuff done -- it's all up to the programmers and the pressers to tell me when I can say stuff

You should give out the coasters as music CDs with other sales.

Maqiupai Soundtrack, featuring the art from the game on the CD =P.

Heh...

Of the original pressing, only Inhabitants had the soundtrack. Maqiupai is literally just a coaster

That having been said, both games were dramatically improved in the time between pressing and... uh... pressing again. The new one has the soundtrack... and about four new songs

I've heard of an upcoming chip that would integrate an SH-4 and as Power Vr2 in same core (CPU & GPU of the DC)
is it because a new portable, DC-compatible Sega console is in preparation?
do you know more about that Dan?
why do you say "dreamcast procuction will be secure and streamlined" ?

I known nohing, but this smells like if a pocket DC is being developped, doing so, the games for the pocket DC that would be developped, would necessarily be DC compatible...
we could have "double release" with games that would fit DC and pocket Dc as well (mini GD-ROMs may be?)
this is all assumption, I precise...

I apologize for may bad english... (a frenchie DC fan

)

sorry dude, his has nothing to do with hardware production

cabou · Post by **cabou** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 7:11 am

ok impetus,
but what does Dan mean with "dreamcast production will be secure and streamlined" ?
of which production does he talk about? his? hombrew production in general? industrial production?
thx,

he means the games that he is releasing. They are pressed and he was having trouble getting people to help him press and release due to minor legal issues. So when he says they are secure and streamlined he means he will not have any more trouble

ok, thx a lot prophet][

goatdan · Post by **goatdan** » Tue Dec 14, 2004 11:14 am

Yes, that's correct. I have no information about anything going on with the hardware of the Dreamcast -- all I know is that the game production will now be secure and streamlined. What I meant by this is:

Secure because we now have a way that we can get the games released, and streamlined because we finally found a pressing company that doesn't suck and is able to turn around the games very quickly.

And I would say that the trouble we were having was... well... MAJOR legal issues this last round... But all is well and everyone (and I do mean everyone!) is happy!

This is incorrect. It was a new chip using a new SH chip and a different PVR chip. Some news sites got the wrong idea and spread bad information.
