Many of your games have coming soon???? Even a year ago like 1942????
There is a logic to putting “Coming Soon”.
Partly to let people know these games are “Coming Soon”. Partly as a reminder to me that they need finishing. Partly to gauge the waters just to see if there is any interest in them. But probably most likely is that when I’ve actually finished them I’m too lazy to upload them !
Please upload as they all look so promising 👍
I second the request for uploading! My theory was that you might be creating a collection of these games with the plan to one day release an arcade collection on here or Steam or both. Whatever eventual form these games take, I'd love to play (and purchase) them!
You do such an amazing job with the artwork. And so far, for me, at least, it's been a nice mix of classics I recognize and would like to play Pico8-ified and others which I missed back in the 80s but look interesting and I'd like to play now.
There are always emulators, of course, but your "ports" look very cool! And the ones you've released in the past have been great. :)
Brilliant. When's it due for release?
