Yeah, I was going to say that they already sold a limited batch of clear console and cart shells. If the RVGS doesn't pull off a miracle and get off the ground, the guy with the mold can make decent money continuing to sell plastic shells in various colors.
Justin the Not-So-Cheery Black/Hack/CrackTiger helped Joshua Jackass, Andrew/Arkhan Dildovich and the DildoPhiles destroy 2 PC Engine groups: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook, then the other by Aaron Nanto!!!

Both times he blamed the Aarons and their staff in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged/destructive/doxxing toxic turbo troll gang which he covers up for under the "community" euphemism!

They can also sell cartridge shells to home-brewers.  I think that's more sustainable than selling the system shells, as at some point basically everyone who wants one will have one.

The fallout is really beginning to take it's toll, the ship is sinking, and people are starting to jump overboard ...

From FaceBook:

Quote from: Grant-Davidson McVittieThink I have to cancel my contribution. Been reading in the forums, looks like there's quite a bit of stuff going on behind the scenes, and that last minute lack of proper FPGA implementation (that is what was being advertised all along) unless stretch goal is made kinda ruined it for me. Also I hear that Kevtris is no longer involved, which is disheartening for sure. Sorry guys. If it gets off the ground I'll be first in line to buy one from your online shop, no doubt.

It's fascinating to watch.

The thing is ... it didn't have to go this badly. It really is just a case of total mismanagement.

The idea was never going to work long term, because the economics for their potential developers are just wrong.

But I truly believe that if they could have kept the whole thing under some form of control, then they'd probably have got to the point of being funded and then producing a console and a couple of cartridges before the whole thing collapsed.

But it's been terribly bungled from the start. Mike Kennedy is definitely going to be one of the first candidates to get on the Golgafrincham "B" Ark.

The new "update" on the IGG page is an absolute joke.

To paraphrase ... "Everything is going well. Ignore the doomsayers, they're just misinformed. Trust me."  :shock:

That's it ... no new information about the hardware and the developers, just "Trust me and my team ... we're awesome!".  #-o

Besides what everyone has already said, especially the lack of working prototypes to demonstrate, the whole approach to this thing is wrong.  If I were going to attempt the same sort of thing, I would really ease up on the "retro" aspect altogether.  I think far more exciting would be a brand new console (with it's own distinct shape and character) and more importantly, exclusive games that you couldn't get anywhere else.  The cart idea I think is the real charm of this thing, but even to use the jaguar cart mold turns me off.  The thing needs it's own identity.  And it can be inspired by things we have loved in the past, but it can also be brand new at the same time.  So cartridges, 2D graphics and old school game design applied to brand new games: yes, please!  Calling a new system "retro" seems so limiting and almost places this in the same category as the Retron or other clone consoles in my mind.

+1 for Hitchhiker's ref, btw!

Quote from: johnnykonami on 09/20/2015, 06:57 PM... exclusive games that you couldn't get anywhere else. 
It was hard for the original Atari Jaguar to court game devs, and that was back when there was some prayer of success, as the console at least was running on similarly powered hardware to the rest of that Console Generation. (It was, however, 64 bits, if you did the math! :D ) Even with that, the Atari Jaguar's library was an entire 44 games, only about half of which were exclusives.

Now you have this Jaguar-wannabe, which is under-powered compared to the Xbone, PS4 and WiiU, has no market penetration what-so-ever, and doesn't even have prototype hardware or a dev kit? The chance of someone willing to sign up as an exclusive dev is nill.

In short, its the right idea, but they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting someone to develop exclusive games.

Tru dat, homie.  I think a lot of successful consoles started with a good set of in-house, 1st party programmed titles.  Once everyone out there saw what was possible, third party support just starts to trickle in.  If they had the means to produce even 3 "1st party" exclusives, that would give them the credibility needed to draw other developers in.  Of course that won't happen.  Exclusives are the real heart of any system, I think.  They are the reason you go back to playing that console time and time again.  Of course there are great multiplats for the TG/PCE but do you really think of Populous first when you think of its game library?

You're overthinking this. Details like developer compensation are...that's all shit for later, this thing won't work because the guy who "created" it created NOTHING. NOTHING AT ALL. No games, no specs, even the case for the console and controller were jacked from elsewhere. This might be the most vaporous of all vaperware systems.

Fuck. Even the NAME is nothing. "Retro"? What, is it a $30 guitar pedal? No Station, no Engine, no Box, no Cube, no Family, no broadCasting of Dreams, New Earths or Wonderful Swans of Crystal, just a "OLD VIDEO GAME SYSTEM".

The shit wasn't even shit.

Yeah their HW guy knew more than me.  He thought that videogame systems of the era outputted 480i/30fps video and that the RVGS was ONLY going to output 480i on all the interfaces (RGB, NTSC, S-vid, HDMI(!)).  I had to tell 'em that videogame systems all outputted 240p/60fps.   That's the point I knew the project was in deep stuff. :-/   I have only been making FPGA videogame systems for 11 years, so I don't have much experience I guess.
So apparently if you market a good idea it comes together with hope and rainbows. It doesn't matter how much you actually know about how to make it work.

Funny that even his promise of "getting the buggy games back, fixing them and sending them back out", contradicts and conflicts with the business model for game distribution that he has already described... 

According to one of his other quotes, games are going to be distributed thusly: 

Developers will send in their finished code, RGVS will produce the prepaid quantity of CIB (and VGA graded) games the developer requests and send them back to the developer for distribution through the developers' own channels.   Who is warrantying them against bugs in this chain?  Looks like the developers would be to me...

Nicely written.
QuoteThey are appealing to the nostalgia factor of a console that calls back to an era of gaming familiar to Twenty-and Thirty-Somethings with disposable income. People have fond memories of these times, and romanticism for the memories of youth is a valuable commodity when it comes to crowdfunding. They are pitching a console with no networking capabilities, no frontend that appears before loading your game, no digital distribution, no optical media and no patches. I'm positing that this is also going to mean "no games".
That captures it proper. All this work though to laugh/ridicule these guys out of the room when this thing should've been laughed away before it ever got this far. That's the Internet for ya...

So clicking on their indiegogo page, I see "3 team members" listed asking for $2 million who so far have raised $60,000... :/ Pretty ballsy... How they managed to inspire enough confidence to even get this far is beyond me.

QuoteThere's so many platforms that do not have this requirement. Having to pay up front for inventory and then hope you are able to sell it with a decent margin on top is a return to the dark ages. These kind of market conditions are the exact reason that the early Sega and Nintendo consoles shut out so many of the smaller developers. Developers that today are making the kind of games Retro VGS are alluding to would have been unable to exist within the market conditions they are attempting to resurrect. The very reason we have so many small studios independently creating and releasing games with a retro aesthetic and design is because of the democratizing effect of digital distribution, because of a wide variety of easily accessible tools with broad industry support, because of the scale of the install base and userbase of today's network capable platforms and marketplaces. I can't see many developers even being curious enough to buy the hardware to test/develop their game in the first place, never mind investing in a physical release for a platform with a tiny install base.
A return to the "dark ages."

They are liars, big dreamers, and idiots. I don't think they've ever been high more than once in their life. Carl Sagan, Jimmy Hendrix, and Shakespeare got their ideas while smoking weed. These guys...sniffing Trix, maybe.

The thing with weed is, no matter how fucked up you get, when you wake up the next day you know if it was in fact a great idea you had or just something stupid. These guys still seem to think this stupid idea makes sense. You can't get actually that high and stay that way for months. People have certainly tried. It's not possible.

This is an angle I hadn't thought of...

What if these other partners said to Mike that they won't do ANYTHING until they get paid?  Wouldn't that partially explain his "say anything for the money" routine?   He needs to come through with the green or his dream is broken, when the people who can "make it happen" walk away.

The thing with weed is, no matter how fucked up you get, when you wake up the next day you know if it was in fact a great idea you had or just something stupid. These guys still seem to think this stupid idea makes sense. You can't get actually that high and stay that way for months. People have certainly tried. It's not possible.
You make a good point, one could only hope they are stoned and not high on bath salts. They have to be lifted on something - look at their faces - they've either been smoking or snorting something, or crying. I regret the personal attack, but honestly I question their state of mind pitching this project the way they have.
