Title: ATLANTEAN ORDERING IS ENDING SOON.
Post by: Arkhan on December 09, 2014, 04:07:22 PM
We're going to cease taking orders for this beast on 12/24.
Why?
Well it's something like:
1) It lets us wrap up all of the orders and have an idea of what kind of supplies we need. This is important because:
2) It gives us more time to continue focusing on the next board + plastic idea. We don't want to have a ton of extra crap from this design laying around doing nothing.
3) It gives us even more time to WRITE SOME FRIGGIN' GAMES. Really, this is the most important part.
If there's some sort of crazed demand for more, maybe in the future we can make more, but I would not count on it until the new and improved board + plastic is done.
So, place an order if you haven't.
You don't pay til yours is ready to ship, so, you've got plenty of time on the money front. I invoice you once yours is ready. It's a bit of a slow going process since I'm doing all of that during my free time between working on games, and working at a real place.
There is a decent sized waiting list (still somewhere around 100 orders left to go).
this is where everyone panics.

How many months you think it'll be before we hear anything if we're just now e-mailing you our order forms?

Definitely not til after the new year. If any of you want the ROM early, you can spew 10 money to me. I'll take it off the cost of the card when your copy is ready.

I love playing the rom. But i can't wait to get an actual copy of the game so i can sift through the manual and bask in it's beauty. I'm anxiously, patiently waiting my turn in line :D I understand the process is probably very demanding.

hell yeah, i'd love to own a repo game for the tg and to support the aetherbyte company of course.

If you know people who doesn't post here but might have ordered, tell them to look too.
Some people liked my post on FB about checking for invoices, and then failed to pay their invoice. This is the ultimate in durp.
I was waiting for invoice, but I apologize for not checking PayPal (I didn't think about that; I rarely go there).
Word up.

Put me down for one of the failures. I have the $$$ and will pay right away.

Post by: Arkhan on February 22, 2015, 06:53:32 AM
This isn't an opportunity to jump in on the failures, because the rest of the waiting list has precedence over people who didn't order yet, lol.
As soon as the list is processed, we can do the "I got one because someone else is dumb" thing. :)

Soooo 30 people (seriously 30, f*cking 30?, really?).. didn't pay? It seems most likely the person responsible for customer order tracking screwed up making sure everyone was properly notified and confirmed their orders... considering 3 of the people that just responded today said they didn't get any invoice or email yet, and i doubt esteban, bernie or albtross (i don't know you but lets go with it!) would just sit here and make that up.
But regardless of whose fault it is and why this is batch had such a huge payment fail, wouldn't it make alot more sense for people to prepay for their pre-orders if they are serious about buying something? Then there's no bullshit involved, the company just ships out the product when it is ready to go.
Title: ATLANTEAN ORDERING IS ENDING SOON.
Post by: esteban on February 22, 2015, 11:51:52 AM
I looked in PayPal, I did not see an invoice. Nor did I get an email. :(
But, I know everything will work out.
Arkhan was very generous for not billing until later...I had a tough time around the holidays, budget-wise, so I am very grateful.
I also picked up Pyramid Plunder, which I have needed for a long time (how long has it been out now?)
:)
Title: Re: ATLANTEAN ORDERING IS ENDING SOON.
Post by: HailingTheThings on February 22, 2015, 12:12:47 PM
Totally checked my e-mail again... even though I check it at least once a day. Also checked my paypal. No invoice yet so I'm definitely not one of these 30 booty butts of which you speak?

I do everything. Me. By myself. All of the order tracking.
I didn't screw anything up. PayPal sends an e-mail to the related e-mail address upon me sending you an invoice. It's super easy to check your e-mail, or your PayPal, and see if there is an invoice.
Esteban, Bernie, and Albatross haven't been invoiced yet. So, of course they haven't seen an e-mail.
I've sent numerous reminder e-mails to people (PayPal even has a button for this), numerous news posts (some of which were liked on Facebook by people who haven't paid...)... so...

No, this makes absolutely zero sense, because then I am sitting on people's money while the items are being manufactured, and I do not want to be caught in a situation where something comes up and I have handfuls of pissed off people wondering where their game is because we're waiting on jewel cases, or for spools of plastic to be back in stock.
See: Every homebrew release ever that took money before a product existed.
Aetherbyte has gotten to the position it's currently at by us *not* doing terrible ideas like this.
It's clear you're a bit out-of-the-loop on how this works, so I'd appreciate if you properly informed yourself about how this operates before coming in and winging it acting like I've screwed something up. ("I don't know you! but let's go with it!") :roll:
Mainly because you seem to think this is some big operation when really it's two dudes in a basement, and a guy in the UK doing pixelart.

And thank you so much for this. Preordering the Pier Solar reprint from Watermelon over a year ago has been a terrible experience. One that has left such a sour taste in my mouth that I will never again spend my money on anything with their name attached to it.
I'm glad some people get it.

Yeah, that's kinda how preordering works. People pay you, you pay your vendors, get your goods and ship, then pocket the profit. Kinda been working that way for centuries. Everyone knows there's delays its common place and shouldn't even be an issue. I mean look at crowdfunding, it has basically guaranteed everyone knows if you prepay for something now days your getting that shit laaate!

You are correct i had no idea you did this by yourself in a basement alone etc. And you are correct i am "a bit out-of-the-loop" about how you are doing your orders. Although i'd hate to be holding product and stuck waiting for money. Anyway, i never stated you screwed anything up but said it "seemed most likely", i mean 30 people didn't pay when it was due...not like it was 1 or 2 people. Not winging it or even really saying you screwed up. Just sayin.
The ("I don't know you! but let's go with it!")was about albatross, since i don't know him but was giving him the benefit of the doubt on his not getting an invoice. Geez, i mean its right after his name in the same sentence before the comma...

First, I want to say that Atlantean is awesome. Second, those on FB who "liked" your post but haven't responded yet, maybe contact them through FB messaging? That's all I got. I like this method of homebrewing, and it works for other consoles. Only other thing to do is just to bump people off who haven't paid after a certain time.

This is what I do, lol.
Some of the ones I messaged/emailed haven't responded. If no payment is hit by 3/1/2015, I think that was plenty of time, so I will just cancel those.
... and then I am sure people will suddenly reply.
"WHY WAS IT CANCELLED!?"!:!"!

I picked up Atlantean in the first go round (fantastic game btw). I know Arkhan was busy getting those orders ready for shipping and I decided to buy either PP or Insanity. He got my additional order out immediately.
I'm not sure what happened but it's not the norm based on my experience.
Just keep kickin' arse, Arkhan.

I am dumbfounded honestly. If I don't see payments by the end of the weekend, I'll consider these people forfeits for now.
In other news, if you've placed an order and have not received an invoice yet, PM me.
I'll shortcut the line for the handful of you that have been waiting. I think there's what, maybe 5 or 6 of you.

I got my copy of Atlantean in the mail yesterday, and I am very pleased! The game is engaging and exciting, but balls-out hard. I typically last less than five minutes. On Easy. With lives and bombs maxed. On my best game, I only managed to make it to the first boss. I'm too scared to see what the harder difficulties are like.
Despite the game making me its bitch repeatedly, I keep wanting to come back for more. You've created an outstanding product, Arkhan. Kudos is deserved and given. :clap:

CHECK YOUR PAYPAL E-MAILS/ACCOUNTS FOR AN INVOICE FROM ME.
There's so many unpaid gooners.
<gumpy-old-bastard hat going on ...>
So here's a guy that has got off his ass ... finished and manufactured a nice game for the PCE ... and some people won't pay up.
But yet, in the other corner, there are people totally going wild over an unreleased "prototype" that looks like a piece of unfinished crap, and don't see anything outrageous in the idea that the guy that's got it deserves $10,000-$20,000 dollars for it, mainly because he's the last guy in the line of people gouging each other.
The world seems like a very strange place. :roll:
Hey Arkhan ... ever wish that you'd just slapped a "1992" date on Atlantean and burned it onto just one old eprom card? It could have sold for a fortune as a "found" game!

CHECK YOUR PAYPAL E-MAILS/ACCOUNTS FOR AN INVOICE FROM ME.
There's so many unpaid gooners.
<gumpy-old-bastard hat going on ...>
So here's a guy that has got off his ass ... finished and manufactured a nice game for the PCE ... and some people won't pay up.
But yet, in the other corner, there are people totally going wild over an unreleased "prototype" that looks like a piece of unfinished crap, and don't see anything outrageous in the idea that the guy that's got it deserves $10,000-$20,000 dollars for it, mainly because he's the last guy in the line of people gouging each other.
The world seems like a very strange place. :roll:
Hey Arkhan ... ever wish that you'd just slapped a "1992" date on Atlantean and burned it onto just one old eprom card? It could have sold for a fortune as a "found" game!
<removing grumpy-old-bastard hat ... oh, crap ... it's stuck!> :wink:
lol, yeah. What gets me are people who press the "like" button on Facebook when I post these things....
AND THEY ARE ONE OF THE UNPAID GIMPS.
Once all the official orders are out and I make sure people's stuff isn't breaking in shipping/etc, there should be extras.
If there's enough demand, I made sure to buy extra crap anyways so we can make more.

well Arkhan if you ever do get around to making more, I would love to purchase one of your games :)
Especially, because the detail that went into it, so lovely~

You mean, the same eurof*cktards who've pre-ordered and paid more than 5 years ago and are still waiting for their copies of Mysterious Song ?
I'm not sure what one has to do with the other.....
Are you saying that since you got screwed by Nod that it's okay to screw Ark, a guy that didn't have a f*cking thing to do with Mysterious Song; or are you saying that you don't want to risk your monies on another dev that might fail to deliver, in which case you never should've ordered Atlantean in the first place? Either way, you're wrong.
P.S. - by 'you' I mean a collective euro you and not necessarily you specifically.

Post by: Arkhan on June 08, 2015, 06:09:15 AM
Yeah, I mean, I don't invoice for Atlantean until I am holding the copy you will be getting in the mail upon paying.
So, if I'm asking you for money, it's because your card is sitting in a box on my floor.

I sent reminders. Some paid.
Others didn't.
Some people are too busy posting lameass pictures of their food and other shit nobody cares about on Facebook to pay attention to updates/emails about something important.

A "Pay me" under the lame ass picture would probably help. =)

Everyone who was on the "waiting list" thing, you can expect some sort of ping from me this week.
I'm kind of stumped at the lack of paying from these people.
I sent 3 reminders, and made a few posts. Nobody paid.
time to get these out to people who want to play them.

I didn't read this whole thread. Nor have I done much research on you're game...
How much are they? Do they work in US or JP equipment or both?
If they work in US equipment without a region mod I may be interested if you have some extras. PM me or let me know to PM you if preferred.

I bought the ROM image from you, but if the deal still stands on deducting the price of the ROM from the price of a physical copy, I'm down to take over someone's spot on the list if you have people who are not paying.

Damn straight its still on.
The game is 60$, and we burn it to whichever region you want.
Later tonight I am basically going to start messaging all the overflow people in the order they messaged me.
And if we still dont have enough, we can fix that.

Will somebody post a longplay video of this already so I can decide whether or not I want it?
Just buy it, ya hoser!
Or download and play Santalantean. That'll give you a great taste of most of the gameplay; the only thing you'll not get is bosses and the mine fields.

I suppose since I have an ED now I could just get the rom, but you know I'm a physical mediatard.
And...isn't it essentially Defender without the bosses & minefields? The more I think about it, the less I mind...Defender is better than, say, Berzerk or Pac-Man.
I'm sure I'll give it a shot here soon. I just wish I could see more gameplay. >.<

Post by: VenomMacbeth on July 23, 2015, 06:46:10 AM
Yes seriously! What's wrong with that? It's pretty much how I decide all my game purchases. Sometimes, only a moment out of the whole game will make it worthwhile to me & I haven't seen that moment yet in any of the previews.
I think it's great what Aetherbyte is doing but I don't have the money to throw around just because I want to support the homebrew community (which I do). I have to actually want the game.
I probably will follow Necro's suggestion & DL Santatlantean, so I can get an idea of what the gameplay is like.

Lol that was back when the framerate blew dick. It's faster now.
I swear someone put up recent gameplay vids.

I am so ready for my copy. Already paid in full, and just ready to pop this bad boy in. I have been waiting since this December 2014, and the moment I got that PM it was no thought process. To see someone put that much love and dedication to a machine that is always easily overlooked, gets 2 thumbs up from me.
~Thanks Arkhan

Post by: Arkhan on July 24, 2015, 08:27:51 AM
Awwwwww yeah videos.
I really wish I could have gotten a smoother framerate for the game overall, but it's just not really a thing that you can do with Atlantean on the PCE.
Between the 7 scrollies, the radar, and having to track everything including off-screen stuff, while having the UFOs look for the people, it's like "nope!"
I was upset about it until I played LDis and was like wait this has slowdown too, I AM OK.

I'm pretty sure I have recorded some gameplay of it as well, but it was back when I was really bad (ie couldn't even make it to the first boss bad!) so I never uploaded it. If I think about it, I'll either post that or record some new footage over the weekend.
