Onion game Cases
UncleBob:
I'm curious - which type(s) of cases are you going to put up first?
WolfAlmighty:
2-7 months isn't bad at all! :D
So when you mention your 'target', is that a target dollar figure for a certain type of case? Since the NES seems to be at or near the top of the list, how many preorders would you need before you'd hit your goal and be able to start producing? If these things are UGC quality you can put me down for 300 cases (though at $1.55/case it'd definitely have to wait until next month as I'm WAY over budget on my game spending this month, heh).

Yeah, I need to hit 100,000 dollars.
Up to 10 K of that is going to be eaten up by Kickstarter and Amazon. -_-
It will take 645 100-packs to reach that goal, or about 64,500 Cases.
Should I wait until March 1'st to start the Kickstarter thing, so you all have plenty of lead time?
Once It gets posted, it only stays up for 30 days.

The 8-Bit NES / Super GameBoy Case [OGC-SNES-SGB].
I will be able to start making additional case types, after the Second, or Third, run of NES Cases sell out.
The first run is a break-even run, because the Mold costs so much to make.
This will not be the case, for the other cases, that have the same Outer Dimensions as the NES Case, as the mold will be modular:
When I get on the Second or Third run of NES Cases, I will do a poll and ask what to make next:
Famicom
SNES & SFC
n64 & Memory Pak
Atari 2600 & Jaguar
Genesis & EA
Genesis Game Genie & Sonic & Kunclkes
Sega Master System & 32X Carts
Interspersed throughout will be the cases for CD-Based games and Handheld Games.
I don't have a timeline for those yet, as I need to get a couple of UGC-Style-Case Product-Llines active first.

Yeowtch...100k might be pretty tough to reach, but I wish you success. :)
Oh, and definitely don't delay anything on my account. 30 days is plenty. I'd just rather wait for my month-end paycheck to hit before I pledge anything so I'd be able to do so the first week in March. Do whatever you have to to get as many people on board as quickly as you can.
Azarkhel:
That's a whole bunch of cases for this kickstart thing. When you have a prototype to show get onto all the big gaming blogs about your product. Your going to need all the advertising you can get.
Surely a smaller run without this program would be easier for you to manage? I'm not sure of the maths or the markets for this but 100k seems like a huge amount to start with.
Either way ill be preordering as soon as you allow it.
