Questions questions questions....!!
How practical would it be to produce those HuCards for an actual release? How much would it add to the cost of the game?
In theory, how much memory can you fit onto one that a real PCE could actually use? Could you have cards rivalling the storage of a CD-Rom, but with the instant access they provide? I assume there would be limitions still in place due to VRAM or something?
the sky is the limit with space on a card, but also, there are physical limitations. AFAIK you can just slap a dickload of ROM not RAM (lol oops) on there, but that would involve more planning/design/costs/etc.
The more you put on there, the more you have to worry about physically, obviously.... but doing these kind of games will be no real problem or concern.
I want to move forward with HuCards as a release. I have ideas for how to produce/sell them and have them be presentable (instead of janky boards!).
I thought Atlantean would be great for a HuCard game.
If it goes well, the bar can be raised.... We could do larger cards, bigger games....
but I prefer starting small and making sure its even do-able, and popular.
If it is done, the first wave would be small quantities, to see how much interest there really is.
