Hi!  My name is Jason Santuci.  I developed the game Conjoined for Joe Grisaffi.  This is a recent game that just shipped this year.  Hopefully sales will continue.

My games are rarely great.  The graphics are usually just OK.  The simple game design is usually OK (well, Conjoined was slightly better due to Joe having most of the vision there).

The trouble is, it takes a lot of effort to get "just OK".  I'd like to get better and make GREAT games.  Every time someone buys a physical cart and box from Joe Grisaffi that ups the chance he'll hire me again for a new game.

When I get commissioned for a game I might get a months worth of rent out of it.  An extra month means I get to *just* make games and become a better developer.  The net result is you get better games.  It's a feedback loop.

I have very little control over copies of Joe's Conjoined boxes since the IP is not mine.  But, I appreciate those who buy the games I develop and support those who publish them.  Even if just to ask for a proper box from them.

Thank you!

Hi there.  Does that mean you would prefer me to take down the custom cover?

I love to produce covers for the old systems, but the last thing I want to do is hurt the developers.

If you would prefer I take away the public access to the cover, I am very happy to do so.  Keep up the good work.  I don't have this game, but it looks like a lot of fun!

[Gemintronic]

It makes me feel uneasy enough that I registered for this site instead of lurking.  Yes, please take down the covers


I guess it was the perfect storm of being a new game and one of my own that made me notice.  Joe Grisaffi is not a hardass so asking directly for a new box shouldn't be unreasonable.

I *am* glad places like this exist.  I collect unlicensed stuff from long dead companies.  Coming up with acceptable boxes is hard.

Also, I learn from your example as I publish some of my games.  Graphic design is no joke.  I respect your work greatly!

[Madducky]

Well Jason, whilst I wish you would allow the cover to stay up, I respect you as a creator!
That said, I got into the Kickstarter just after the boxed copies had already.

Right now, the game is still in my 7800, and on one of my gaming shelves sits the UGC with the cover above.

It is not for sale, it is mine. If anyone does see it, I would be more than glad to send them to get a copy.

I wanted a boxed version and by printing the cover, I have my wish

The game really is a ball-buster and I love it. Keep up the good work.

[Gemintronic]

Thanks!  It's actually too hard for me.  Joe Grisaffi is an avid arcade game collector so the difficulty is all him.

There was actually a third row of baddies in the operation stage.  It was hell testing because I suck at arcade games.. then getting past everything with a third row taking me out.  Yikes!

The covers are now removed from my box account, so you have the only copy with my cover.  Limited edition. Lol

This is kinda confusing... 
Now can you buy the original box or not?

The kikstarter campain said the box is limited to 50 pieces only, wich have been sold out.

Everyone else just gets the cartridge.
So why can't there be a UGC cover for those people?

[Madducky]

Well I feel special then.
It has a spot on my shelf between the MEGA Everdrive, and HALO5.

If I could have gotten a boxed one, I would have.
