Idea: raise funds and release Fighting Force for Saturn.

Unfortunately I can't blow all my money on prototypes and then release them all for free. I wish it were possible, but given the current situation, it's not.

This is a test, I want to see if there is enough interest for it to be a viable way of releasing prototypes. If this is successful, I might organize more of these in the future (I'm mostly thinking of unreleased games)

If it's not successful... well, the game will most likely either go back to the closet or get sold to someone and never released publicly.

The total price is $620 to cover my costs. If you are interested in participating, please either post here (registration is very easy and can be done from the forum index) or if you don't like registering, please email me at thedrx@gmail.com.

Please do not send me money yet, but do tell me how much you can donate to this for sure (so please try not to make unbased claims and then retreat suddenly).

If you are new here and you are unsure of my credibility, see for yourself here -> http://www.hidden-palace.org/?releases - 1076+ releases and counting.

If you are unsure of whether a public dump/community release like this can work, some of my previous successful fundraisers were: Prince of Persia 2 (unreleased game), Sonic 2 Nick Arcade prototype, Panzer Dragoon prototypes; among others

Screenshots:























Other than that, I can't tell/give you much more, or I would spoil the prototype. I don't mean to be rude, but please don't ask. The game is in alpha stages, so it's not a full game by any means.

Feel free to pass this around and tell others who might be interested but please don't be aggressive or abusive, and follow other forums' rules!

Hope I didn't miss anything :P

Again, I wish I could do this for free, but reality is different.

That's a start, thanks.

BTW to all: what I forgot to ask initially: I'd love to know if you're in it for the Fighting Force or if you'd be interested in future unreleased game releases.

Would be nice to get something going. While $500-$1000+ might be an excess for some unreleased games, 10-20 people working together could easily bring that down. Just an idea, your mileage might vary.

Sorry for the off-topic, but as non-Saturn but Mega Drive-user I have to ask if this is the reason why you have not yet released Star Odyssey yet, and if you might start a similar action for it?

A lot of people have been excited about that game....

So far: $200 + 50 euro (about $70 after conversion) so far, neat :) $350 left.

Yes, the screenshots were taken with SSF. The Sonic R prototype does work, I played it myself.

Maybe you have an old version or incompatible hardware?

I love the idea... I would have help you drx but I have some personal problems (= 2 lawyers to pay) ! For the next time, I will...

It will be nice to give back something to the contributors... I think I have a simple and nice idea : "a temporal exclusivity" ! What I mean is that you should send the prototype to the contributors first, and wait one week to give it to the general public, after...

This is just a proposal, maybe a stupid one?

I usually give contributors some kind of bonus (e.g. a HTTP link to a large file instead of a torrent or things like that) but it's usually only a bonus.

And I don't usually give anyone prototypes in advance, unless in very special cases, for various reasons (it creates all sorts of problems)

So far we have:

Brutus - 50 euro ($70)
SegaSaturnUK - $200
Codeman - 20 euro ($28)
Juste - $60

$360 total, getting there, great work guys.

Also, if anyone wishes to donate after the total has been raised, it will go towards the next unreleased game release, or something else if you'd like me to - it's up to you (the next game will be a Dreamcast game).

:D
