Who has a V9990 connected to their CPC in this forum?
Not me! I suspect virtually no one owns one and the emulators can't do it either which is why I do not want to make a V9990 version! that's why I put it at the $100 dollar point - that's what it will take to convince (force) me do it!
I know I'm damned either way on patreon, I either give my games away, so no one backs me, or I only give the game to backers, get called a money-grubber - gain no interest, and no-one backs me... I'd have quite happily set the backing level to less than $1, but that seems to be as low as it goes, I'm only interested in seeing how many people are interested enough in my development to sign up, so I know I have people waiting for my next release
I'm going to try to post weekly posts on Patreon with screenshots and as much detail as I can write, so I'm hoping people will back me to either just show some support, or because they want to know more about what the process and challenges of making a game like this are.
Of course I'll post screenshots publicly off patreon when the game's at a good stage of completion, but I see no reason to risk posting alpha screens of, say the speccy version with buggy sprites, and having everyone lose interest in the game before I've even finished it!
