Fonzie, 21/02/12 - 08:29 News and Contest! Greetings!
We are very happy with the enthusiasm and participation on the Magical Game Factory! The positive feedback from everywhere is overwhelming and we are very thankful for that.
As you may know, we ended the platform poll for Project Y. The winner was Mega Drive/Genesis. As you may have read, we may port the game to modern systems as well, but those conversions may be inferior due to the lack of Blast Processing.
Right now, we have a raging battle of the genre Project Y will be. Platformer just passed Beat 'em up in the primary choice and RPG just passed Strategy for the second or "mix" choice. If you are not pleased with this, invest more GEMS or tell your friends to help you out! Due to the excitement, the poll will go on for now!
To celebrate the awesomeness of the Factory, here is a competition.
What you have to do is guess the following question: How many TOTAL audio tracks will the Pier Solar Definitive Original Soundtrack have, discs 1, 2 and 3?
Post your answer as a comment to this Blog post (with a little poem to 16-bit glory). Whoever is closest wins 500 GEMS, and if he/she guesses correctly, a signed OST will be included as well! Other prizes are 100 GEMS and 1 GEM. WOW! When will this contest end? Who knows! Don't wait, post your answer NOW! Only your first answer count, just don't try to cheat with multiple accounts, or you'll be cursed to play the 's Slippery challenge until you die. Later, aces! /WM  Fonzie, 15/02/12 - 21:22 The Factory is open! ’s Magical Game Factory is our own unique approach to crowd sourced fundraising and will allow fans to support and influence the direction of future products. In short, we are attempting to eliminate the unidirectional approach to game design that treats customers and fans as simple sources of income.
Our first project, Pier Solar, taught us just how important community collaboration is. We received financial support, quality assurance testing, translations and promotional opportunities from people all over the world – people who wanted to see a unique project come to life and ensure that the end product was the best it could be. Developing Pier Solar with the help of the community not only made the game what it was, but guaranteed we’d never develop another project without community involvement.
This is where The Factory comes in.
The Factory will allow fans of ’s previous efforts to invest in future projects. The more GEMS a user has invested in a project, the more weight is given to their opinions during votes and consultations about the games direction. The best part is: GEMS invested will be converted to games once the project is completed. Investors that have supported the project from the beginning will also earn a number of perks and bonuses. An example would be a special “Investor Version” of the game, similar to the Posterity Edition of Pier Solar.
With the Factory we hope to develop a direct working relationship with our community and, more importantly, ensure that we are making exactly the kinds of games our customers want to play. After all, if our players are supporting us, we want to make sure they get the best experience possible. And we hope that people will get involved in for the same reasons we did.
Because it’s fun. Fonzie, 02/02/12 - 09:30 The REPRINT sold out! Greetings,
Once again, by the word of mouth of YOU, the great fans - can proudly (or not) say "we are out of stock", two weeks after sales began!
So we are now taking pre-orders for it like with the "REPRINT EP" with English, Spanish and Portuguese and the Definitive Original Soundtrack.
Get ready for the 16th of February. Get MEGA ready because that's what it takes to prepare for the awesomeness!
