Pier Solar: Official Thread

[Chilly Willy]

When is this happening?

After they've allowed time for pre-orders to be verified as working so they know how many to keep back for warranty purposes. So don't look for sales earlier than another month or two.

On ebay sellers:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ALL IN ORIGINAL BRAND NEW & MINT CONDITION

We purchased this from the makers last year, which was the only way to buy this game as it was never released in the shops or elsewhere, and this was from the last batch of Pier Solar games to be made. And to date there are no plans to do a re-print at a later stage, so this might be your only chance to get one of these.

I simply cannot do that, but I'll say you needn't worry. Just a bit.

Lol yea, no game was ever designed like this, you're doing things Sega them selves didn't do(which is why I was surprised to hear they wouldn't support you by even giving you the info/tools needed, so you can easily learn how to develop for the genny/Sega CD).

When you are taking it to a whole new lv, far beyond anything the first party developer did, you know you did something special here. A bigger Cart is one thing(still not an easy thing to do I'm sure, there were probally wierd limitations by default), but using the actual hardware in such a way(to bypass the biggest complaint people have about the system) is a break through.

Also you somehow got around the you can only have a certain amount of different colours on screen limitation.

Lol I'm pretty sure It's as close to impossible to pirate, as you can get(if any flaw is made at all, the game would probally not even boot up the opening screen), which is a good thing indeed, I would hate for this game to get pirated.

Do you know how many copies will be available when this version of the game is confirmed as working? I have a feeling that whoever wanted a copy of this game already has one or has one being shipped to them except for those who found out about it too late, so the remaining copies won't fly off the shelves, err... internets, very quickly unless there is an extremely limited amount.

Actually there is a ton of people that found out about this game too late, and now that it has been actually released, will indeed fly out the door faster then you can say "crap, I missed out again", so don't down play it, you have no idea.

In our China, all the games are can make piracy, ability very strong!

This is my biggest worry about

Even if this game is somehow cracked, I don't expect it to happen too quickly. I'd imagine it'd be far more worth peoples time (and money ) to work on other games, or more modern games.

Of course, I'm just assuming here. I wouldn't know how this games anti-piracy mechanisms work.

From the Pier Solar boards

Didn't want to start a new topic to say this so I'll say it here: I got my copy in the mail today! Truly an inspiration. Great job again, everyone.

Here's a few quick images I took:







According to the bubble mailer it arrived in, it was shipped from Hong Kong via the China Post Group.

And so it begins!

[snotmaw]

FUUUUUU
well the man lives in Taiwan, so it looks like it won't begin for most of us until after christmas
that being said, it looks beautiful

[Bramsworth]

About time!

Though being so close to China just shows how much longer it's possibly going to take for anyone else to get it.

Edit: Already was said above me haha. The fact I'm also waiting for something from another country just makes me more concerned about the holidays making everything so damn slow though! ARRGHH

Edit 2: Holy hell, my name is specifically on the piece of paper included there! More guilt about the JP translations fate heh. :P At least I;m sure most people are understanding by now. I can't stop staring at those pics!
