I played Ice Cold Beer for the first time in my life tonight and finally get what all the hubbub is about. I'm all in for this project. :cheers:
Generic Eric:
Are you going to sell this at retail? Or through operators with routes? How do you see this getting out to the public? Some where I got the idea this was going to be for sale.
It looks neat. It all seems like the sort of thing that could be expanded on. Are you going to have "new missions," with new playfields and sounds and vocals?

Step 1: Working Unit
Step 2: Release the cut plans, art, schematics, part lists to the community
Step 3: ? ? ?
Step 4: Profit
Seriously tho, this is a labor of love, I have no intention of trying to have this be "the next thing". I have thought about doing a limited run but I have a full time job, everyone else working on this has a full time job, and we are doing it for the fun of the project. Me, IDS, and Eds1275 are guaranteed one for cost of parts. We know raw costs what this project is approx. going to run when complete but haven't run the traps on what a run would cost/do to us.
As far as different modes, art, PFs etc - that's why we're releasing it to the community. That's your job man. That said, for the sound, we have enough sound cuts that with some creative programming it's very likely that every game of Space Base played will sound unique from now until the end of time. Something about a quintillion different sound combinations or something.

Man! I'm so excited by this project, I'm just jumping up and down to not ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- myself!
Really: On a want-one-myself scale from 1 to 10, this is a ∞!!!
