Can you give us an idea what time on Friday they will go on sale? I only ask because I live in Europe and Friday for me comes 6 hours before the east coast.
Very cool!
Sucks my phone broke and now I only can check the internetz when I am on my computer. Hopefully I get into the top 200 at least :P
Out of curiosity, how many copies of your CD games did you sell? Do you think you will eventually be able to create that many Atlanteans, assuming there is the same demand?

Between the broken/freebie demo/lost in mail replacement Insanitys, we've probably sold around 300.
Pyramid Plunder, somewhere less than that, but getting close? The sales taper off and then you sell one every few months, basically. If that
We can do that with the cards, and probably more, since they sell better I am assuming.
as for the ROM, I am still planning how I want to do that. I will probably put your name/address/etc. in the ROM file so if the thing shows up online, everyone will know where to go to punch someone in the nuts.

August 9th 2014, the day the internet shut down due to too many orders, rush rush rush, gotta get Atlantean!!! :D
BTW, when we order, are you going to have us put down our PCEFX user names in the payment, to ensure it's us "goons"? :)
I'm against the idea until you finish selling all the physical products, but if you're gonna do this, better encrypt the data somehow obviously. Nobody, the leaker included, should be able to see it. If it happens, it should be reported to you with the ROM image link for you to download, decrypt and then reveal who it was, etc. Even so, afterwards you publish the jerk's name, address, and then what ? Damage is still done...
NightWolve, what you say would apply in any other community... here in PCE land, people give a damn. Hell, my team's game was ripped and pirated only a few months after its release and we still sold the thing out because the people in this scene are so supportive. Having a ROM image out in the open isn't going to change anything; the people in this scene will still support Aetherbyte because they give a damn about homebrew and the people who make it. Can't say the same about other communities... this is one of the many things that makes this community so special.

Hey Ark, when can we buy the ROM?

after i ship this mess out.
I'm jealous of Ope... he got the #1 in the 1-40 numbered limited edition first run. I got #2, though, and that makes me giggle, so I'm ok with it.
Thanks for releasing these numbered and autographed, Ark. Means a lot to us true collectors.
Perhaps this is a silly question, but are these cards wired for PC-Engine use or TG-16 use?
Don't be so pessimistic, dudes. That chance of 25+/- PCEFX veterans with sixty-eight dollars in their pocket beating you to this thread in three hours isn't that great.
Is the spread so far sticking to half PCE and half Turbob?
Heh, I said spread. SPREAD 'EM, BITCHES!

Up to now, I count 15 sold. You still probably have a chance :)

Beware Arkhan's wrath peasants!I'm more afraid of his wreath.
if you don't get a paypal invoice you didn't make the cut
yeah once I sort this trainwreck out after eating and touching myself, I'm going to tell people who didn't make it, that they have to wait.
and then I pack/ship/slash my wrists
and then, I do the ROM thing!
Arkhan,Arkhan, I took the liberty of writing the rejection letter for you;
I have a question, those who don't make the first round, will you send e-mails to those folks letting them know they didn't make the list for the first batch, and also when they can expect the next batch to be available for sale?
.
GAH, the dolphin won't let me order, since I don't have an email client set up! I haven't used Outlook in years, I wouldn't even know where to begin to set it up with my Hotmail, yahoo, or gmail accounts, & would prefer not to. I'll try sending Ark a PM. :/
GOOD JOB IDIOTS.
THERE AREN'T ENOUGH USA COPIES FOR ALL OF YOU.

You'd have to pay for a second one, lol.
and you'd end up waiting so people who haven't gotten any cards yet gets one.
I've bought every single homebrew for the pce out there. As I said : I'm not home and won't connect to paypal from a computer I think is not reliable security-wise.
I think I've been around quite a while so that nobody can throw doubt on me.
I hope you guys who are saying "I'll take one" in this thread have gone to the Aetherbyte site and used the order form/link. Ark is swamped (with orders and yaoi) as-is so it would probably be helpful if you'd go through official channels.
Vestcoat, Opwueaueuaco, Haboober, Shweaty.
Japan, or wait til new ones are made! lol.
Poor vestcoat literally missed the cutoff by ONE person. I'm sorry, lol.
you can order the other 2 on his website

You don't have to connect to Paypal to place an order - you have to email through the website. Arkhan will send you a Paypal invoice once he processes your email...

I had that problem with Chrome, I switched to Firefox and it worked fine.
Is it normal that i still didn't get my invoice ?

He said all invoices for this round have been sent out. You'll have to wait for the second batch.
And thanks for letting me know, Arkhan. Now I can stop frantically checking my inbox for an invoice. Not that I was doing that or anything...

^ Very cool that you make HuCards. Are they original games or ports?
Mine made it through. Perfect timing too as tomorrow is my birthday. :D
Dang. Do you live next door to the guy? That was quick shipping. Or did you get it in advance of the orders?
Ark just post your address and we'll drive to your place to pick them up if we're close. :mrgreen:
Keep plenty of beer on ice for me!
I have to waste my lunch hour today to retrieve it from the post office. Lame.
Thanks Paul and Black tiger for listing the ordering info
Sorry the e-mail link went dopey.
On the bright (?) side, by the time you had gone to order anyways, you missed out on them because we got assaulted within like, an hour.
I have to waste my lunch hour today to retrieve it from the post office. Lame.Bah! Eat a sandwich on the way then whip out your cock and sign the damn form. At least you have your copy! :lol:
Can I pay you for a ROM, while you're sending ROMs out to people?CHECK THE NEWS UPDATES ON FACEBOOK OR OUR BLOG, SUCKAFOOOOOO.
While all you gomers were waiting, I beat mine last night. Beat it like a rented mule. :mrgreen:
this is the first pog i've ever owned... and now i feel the need to get them all. WHERE IS THE POG ORDER FORM?
...........
Prize is my Guilty/Not Guilty O.J. Simpson slammer. :D
Don't think so. Believe I got it from the local comic shop that sold pogs and pog accessories. No propane though.
What I am thinking of must be the MAD Magazine special, that had the 12 OJ Pog stickers, to stick on pogs.
I hadn't heard of pogs before this. What decade were they popular?
Serious question.

Alright so I'm interested in ordering this but much too lazy to read the rest of the thread only to find out they're all gone. It says to wait until Friday. I expect the goods to be revealed tomorrow!

Speaking of which...is everyone supposed to get a pog, or is it select people? I couldn't for the life of me find mine. :/
I have yet to receive the paypal that it was shipped. But i did receive, and make a payment for it 2 weeks ago. Any updates for me Arkhan ?
Mine was a little smashed, but not THAT bad. I've been looking all over my room where I opened it to see if it slipped out of the box when opening, & haven't been able to find the pog :-k

Yours should be out. What's your real engrish name again?
Also: Holy f*ck, that box. What in the hell did they do to it.
Who else got a smashed as f*ck box?
Assuming they're all packaged like mine, they need either a smaller box or more bubble wrap to fill the box.
Amazing that you sent mine all the way to the UK and the box was in perfect condition.
Yeah yours is out!
hnfgggggg nice quote usage, lol.
yeah I don't get how that worked out.Maybe it's just one postal worker that recognizes your name. Did anyone find a Polaroid inside their box of a USPS worker rubbing their dick on the packaging?
Send a few states away: DESTROYED
send over ocean: PERFECT!
you should sell them in 5 packs. Random. With different rarities. And pubes.

I'll just make and send you another one. I sent you one with an Atlantean on it.
if I can find enough blank refillers, I might just rifle out a hojillion of them and sell COMPLETE SETS to paying idio... i mean, customers.

Yessir! I try not to buy from Ohio during football season. Someone at the Columbus depot carries the rivalry thing too far and I think it's because of it. I should have taken pictures over the years since, right now, I sound like a dumbass Michigan fb nut. I've had 5 abused packages arrive over the years that according to tracking went through the Columbus depot. I know it wasn't the sellers, that would be stupid and I used the same guy twice.
I was so happy Ark lives near Cleveland!
Making all of these by hand must be painstakingly burdensome. How long does it take to make one?
WTF?! I thought you hand drew each label and now I'm finding out these are mass produced?! I don't give an Aetherf*ck who you think you are, go peddle your wares elsewhere! Heathen!
ORDER CANCELLED! :twisted:
The last time someone asked Arkhan that they ended up with a soiled bedsheet that lit up an entire room when a blacklight was shoned on it.
I'm still waiting on Arkhan, to offer something to put on my wall!

Joe, you seem chronologically challenged. Do we need to get you a flux capacitor? You DO have a spare Delorean about, don't you?
No I said to use hot glue instead of solder. And then after everything is connected to fill all the empty space inside the console with hot glue. This is the only truly professional way to do it.

I was joking around, Joe. During my posting here, I watched a Gamesack vid about amod, S-video, Sega geneis, during the process you joked, and told the guy you took vid years ago in his shop, something along the lines of, "And then we fill it with hot glue, right"?
He laughed, and basically said not unless you want it to stay that way, a long time.
That's what stuck with me most, from that recent vid, "..... fill it with hot glue....."
:)
Yay international ones are surviving the trip.
Let me know how the label holds up.
FIRST OFF:
PROTOCARD FOLKS. PLEASE PAY ME OR SOMETHING IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.
I will hold your entitled copy, but if you leave me hanging for like 2-3 weeks, someone else is getting it and you can wait.
EVERYONE ELSE:
Pay attention Friday. That's when I will give you information on the orders.
Everyone will e-mail me with the provided button thing on aetherbyte.com, and it will be first come, first served. I will send PayPal invoices to the first lucky bitches.
I have like 40 available, split about evenly between regions. They are almost all going to you guys, with a small bit going to other key supporters who don't post here but have been equally supportive of Aetherbyte since day 1.
If you miss the first go around, you will be first in line for the next batch that is in the works.
So, don't panic. Bare with us. Also, the shipping will be Priority, but may take a bit longer, because I am doing all of the packing/shipping myself after work. This includes making the badass trinkets, and all of that.
Those who miss the first go around have the option to buy the ROM for 10$, and then you will only owe me 50$ + shipping when your turn in line comes for the card.
Said ROM will have some personal information wedged in it somewhere, so if you go uploading it to ROM sites, you'll be easily spotted by everyone, and they will hate you forever. Don't be a RoyVegas and ruin life for everyone.
Speaking of RoyVegas:
Don't even bother. You're not allowed to have Atlantean.
and last, but not least:
Remember, these are the first of their kind. They're 3D printed. They are not factory precision!
As such, there are slight oddities with the cases and cards.
Mainly:
-you may see some stray adhesive bits.
-The case trays are slightly larger than normal, so the back insert didn't quite clear the spine (should be addressed hopefully in the next batch, meaning we can figure out who has first prints! YEAH)
-The labels on the cards may not be 100% lined up. They're applied by hand. We're not machine perfect. We're basically fidgety programmers running on caffeine.
These things will improve over time so future projects will be even better than this one.
OH. AND FINALLY:
I'm not all about the whole "second printing!!12" Super Watermelon Factory bullshit.
The second batch will have lighter blue than the first print.
This was basically because I said "hey look at this shade of blue that wasn't available before!" when I went to buy more plastic filament.
This does not mean the different colors of blue, or different cuts of the manual, or any of that have any bearing on the actual value of the game package because of different print runs.
Anyone who thinks otherwise, stop being dumb.
Each and every copy is worth exactly 4902230235832598$.
The only thing of any collectible spastic value is the almighty trinket I hand made with a Christmas present I got in like 1995:
(http://c1.staticflickr.com/7/6093/6329465504_8aa564238a_z.jpg)
It's the best of the 1990s. New HuCard. New Pogs.
I am making those things by hand. The adhesive on the blank Pogs is completely shot. I have to reapply adhesive (but this means I can make them double sided instead of having the goofy yellow backs!).
They weren't kidding when they said use that shit in a well ventilated room.
They're hand made. They're not totally perfect. However, they're awesome.
You can place an order whenever. I've been putting all incoming orders into a giant waiting list where you'll get an invoice when cards are ready.

I also emailed you a couple of weeks ago about getting in the next batch of cards. But i also wanted to buy the rom for now to play on my everdrive. Do i have to wait for that as well, or did i somehow manage to not send my email correctly? (because I'm sure that is possible for me to have done) I'm sure you've been plenty busy with orders and whatnot, just figured I'd ask.
looks like ill have to plan in order! when will you be taking pre orders?

Doesn't sound like a complaint to me. Sounds more like he is disappointed that the post office cracked it, and he is probably well aware that it can be fixed. Most people have lots of CD cases laying around that can be pilfered for parts.
