I'd pledge to get this off the ground --- End quote --- As soon as I can get some prototypes made, I'll shop around the CAD Files and prototypes to local Injection Molders, to get price quotes, then I'll start the Kickstarter campaign. 8) IIRC, you pretty much have to have working prototypes Before Kickstarter will let ya run a campaign. At least, that's what I got out of reading their new policies. --- Quote from: mojoeskateco on October 23, 2012, 11:56:26 AM ---I have to ask, Why did you start your amazing idea of cases for retro games with the TG-16? I think if you could just get the NES ones off the ground that could be your cash cow to expand. Also if your looking to make some cash developing a home brew game is likely to fail. Of course if you are just doing because you love to then that's a different story and all the power to you!! Good luck and I hope to see some NES cases in the future. I guess it's back to hacking up UGCs for me ;D --- End quote --- Well, the TG16 Sleeves and GBA Insert Trays didn't cost anywhere near as much as it does to do Injection Molding. :o I'm planning to give away the Homebrew Game for free, for the most part. I'll only make $ off of it, if it's entertaining enough to encourage people to either donate some $, or buy some merchandise based on the game's characters, (or they can order a boxed version; if they're really impressed) after they get a chance to play it in it's entirety. :P I have a lot of stories within me, struggling to be told. I've completed enough storyboards, the old fashioned way, to make roughly 11 games, and there are countless other works-in-progress on my shelves. In other words, I have enough material to make a ton of games; I just need the time to program them. It's often said, yet it still rings true; "There is not enough time in a single day, to accomplish all of the goals I set for myself." But that won't keep me from trying. ;) |

I just did my 360th case yesterday. I have callouses on the tips of my index and middle fingers on my right hand from pushing the blade such that I can now pick up hot dogs out of the frying pan and not even feel the heat. ;D --- End quote --- 360?! You NEED a Dremel! --- Quote ---It's often said, yet it still rings true; "There is not enough time in a single day, to accomplish all of the goals I set for myself." But that won't keep me from trying. --- End quote --- I wish I could get people to understand just how incredibly difficult it is to do EVERYTHING on your own when starting up a new business. People expect results in days, but don't understand that it can take many many months to get even the smallest things done, especially when you're already operating as a business AND trying to bring new products to market at the same time (not saying that anyone here is doing that. With that said, I can't wait to see some of this stuff come to fruition :D |

You NEED a Dremel! --- End quote --- I do have one, but clipping the plastic out of the cases isn't where I have to push the knife, it's when I take it and press it straight up against the UGC to clean off the jaggies. Many of my cases are completely smooth to the touch (even though they don't really need to be) and I've kinda got my method down at this point. Plus, I wouldn't want to use a dremel and get plastic dust all over the game room, since I modify the cases while I'm watching TV. ;) Besides, I'm over halfway done! Think of what a bamf I'll be once I've done 676 of these by hand. The chicks'll never leave me alone! 8) |
