Why in the f*ck would anyone want to raise 5000 USD to slam it back to PCE.  Everyone involved here could just get SuperGrafx + Daimakaimura, play it on superior hardware with better quality, and save everyone the wasted time.

Assuming it could actually be done in 4 months, which I doubt in the first place.

How 'bout instead pick some nes or sms games to port over to the turbo with pretty arrange music ala CD? That'd be, how do you say? Tits, yes? Something like maybe Bucky O'hare? mew... :3

Forget Bucky I am feeling something rpgish. Zelda, Dragon Warrior, or Crystalis

This is the most pointless idea ever. Especially when all that energy could be put towards porting Rastan!

Tell you what, you raise 5,000USD and I'll give you a completed game of GnG for PCECD (or ACD if you want) - source code, compiled game, all. You do with it what you want from there. The project time would be 4 months total (from start to finish, not broken up).


LAYAWAY PLAN: I will slowly save $$$ so you can, one day, create Blodia Hell (TurboTimeball), the enhanced SCD sequel I have always wanted). I'll convince Paul/Covell/fragmare/B_T/etc. to design cute tiles/sprites/etc., P_D will handle the RedBook, Arkhan will handle PSG tunes...

I am 100% serious, but I also know that only a handful of folks would genuinely get excited about this (which saddens me).

 I figured 3 months actually, and 1 month extra in case anything unforeseen.




 $5000 is insanely cheap, but I'd do it for the challenge and the love of coding for PCE. $5000 would pretty much just pay the bills, while I would concentrate full time on such a project.
 10 hours a day X 5 days a week x 4 weeks x 3 months = 600 hours total. That's $8.3 an hour. The extra month is there, but hopefully not needed (otherwise that dollar per hour drops even lower). That's a huge pay cut, but soo worth it.

 Anyway, I have the skills and related experience for this type of project. If you really want it, that's what it'll cost you. 50 members contribute $100; $5000. The compiled game, source code, and all assets become property of the community that raised the money or whatever.

 Anyway, that's my offer. The balls in your court.

Or buying multiple copies of Genny GnG. :P

I'd figure more than 1 extra month based off how PCE projects usually go.

If you're doing it for the love of PCE/the challenge, you wouldn't need the money. 
 

This is a terrible idea, and I can't see people actually ponying money up for it.  Also, your previous work repertoire doesn't really guarantee this 4 month turnaround time you've come up with.

If you really want to see it done, why not just do it for shits and giggles, for the "love and challenge", instead of basically asking a bunch of people to give you 5000$ for a game we could all already play.   It's not like it's a monumental task to locate a SuperGrafx and one game for it.  It's also more productive, since you now have a new NEC console with some other games worth playing.

Unless you plan on asking 5000$ a pop to convert the entire SGX library to PCE.



Do enough people here even lack a SuperGrafx + Daimakaimura?   I don't think there are 50 active members here, let alone 50 active members who don't already have a way to play this game.

The 5000$ part is where things start to get retarded. 

Just do it because you can/want to.  Not because you ask a bunch of us to pay you to do it.  Save that for a unique idea.

Keep in mind, it would take him a lot longer without the $5000 (to pay bills while programming).

This project would interfere with the Mega Man port, as well, too. Maybe finish that up first.

Oh no.  It will take awhile to convert a game we can all already play.   


It's the apocalypse.


How are bills being paid right now?  Obviously there is a way to do it at the moment, so, I'd advise continuing to do that for bills instead of trying to get money from PCEFXers.

Now, if the intent was to stop doing that, do PCE full time, and ask for money as a result, there's words for that.  None of them are really nice, though.

Arkhan has a big point.

I thought that PC Engine Fx was full of programmers that wanted to keep pushing borders & making games for the PCE that why I asked. (& i thought it sounded like a good challenge)

"$5000" Really, I'm all for looking after a guy if he does a good turn but 5K for a game that no one is looking to sell has to be the most ridiculous request I've ever heard

As its was my suggestion, I suggest no one thinks of paying but if someone does make it, donate them a little cash as a way of saying Thanks.

It's full of all kinds...as we all find out eventually :P

I'm all for tossing a little green to people that work on projects if they deliver...iif they beg well that's a different matter.
