To bad it's not actually for NES/Famicom.

It actually started as an NES homebrew game (Grand Theftendo), but eventually morphed into Retro City Rampage.

It should have stayed as a NES Homebrew. ;(

What's wrong with both a homebrew and a pc version?

It's okay to have both but no homebrew is coming, just pc version.

Excuse me just because he wants to put food on his plate doesn't make him a "dick".  I've been called a "dick" because I wanted to warn people about the risk before posting how to do my mods and that sh#t isn't cool.  I don't blame this guy at all for what he did.  If the money was in making nintendo repros he would, but it's not.  That's why I didn't care so much about being banned from nintendoage.  Most of my money comes from people who find me from youtube.  People on nintendoage Don't have money, And they call me a dick!  Why would someone want to cater to an angry forum troll like yourself when they can make way more money catering to people with manners.

This and all of this.  Economy sucks around the world.  If you can make money while having fun doing it, do it!  I totally support the guy for "selling out" as you said if it helps him  in his career path.

Don't bring your sob stories about modding here, angry guy. And you know, instead of relying on money from your crappy online work, you can do what most of the world does for money: get an actual job. Get off your butt-moulded computer chair and make an effort to work somewhere. But have fun getting your pennies from everyday online ordeals.

Don't get angry at me because you were made fun of on the internet. Bottom line is, Bri started off doing a great favor to lots of online developers with his original work. As soon as some small-time company showed him the green, he decided to spit on the developers' faces by destroying all his past work (every trace of it), ignoring them and pretending it never existed. Go money!

Drakon what got you banned from NA?  You can be blunt sometimes but I think it's clear to most of us here, you're a genuine guy.

I think if a creator chooses to make something, it's his call how he shares that.  I would love a nES hjomebrew but in all honesty PC and XBL version allow for more reach, more opportunities in the game and an easier pipeline.

I also don't think people should be blamed for not wanting to work for free.

It's not Retro City Rampage that many people are worked up over when it comes to him. He can make it for whatever money he wants; it's how his attitude changed and how he so abruptly buried his past work without even notification once he was offered money for one of his works.

Sounds like he was asked to do that and also asked not to speak about it as part of the terms.  Frustrating sure, but if that was the deal I wouldn't be able to blame him I don't think.
Title: Re: Retro City Rampage - GTA inspired 8-bit indie game
Post by: mgman on June 15, 2012, 09:51:56 am
He wasn't asked to stop any of it. And even if he was, why couldn't he pass it on over to the countless other people who would have been willing to continue on it?

This'd be awesome as an Xbox Indie Game and for sure, I'd definitely buy if it were priced at 80 or above MSPs. No doubt!

Hopefully they will consider taking RCR to the consoles too.

It's not a sob story I don't feel sad about it at all.  It keeps me banned from people like yourself.  And I do have a job, but atleast it doesn't make me angry at everything like you.

I was using my experience as an example of something I don't care about, like you.  If you're so upset about not getting a great homebrew nes game then why don't you make one yourself instead of crying about it.

I don't blame that guy at all for "going for the money", atleast he's going for something other than whining on forums when he doesn't get what he wants.  It's his work and he's allowed to do whatever he wants with it.  If you want it so badly you can make one yourself.

Let's talk about angry. You make an entire essay in response to a single line I posted as a reply. And you're saying I'm angry? Also learn some English. "It keeps me banned from people like yourself" makes no sense. And of course you have a "job"; it involves sitting in front of the computer all day.

QuoteI was using my experience as an example of something I don't care about, like you.  If you're so upset about not getting a great homebrew nes game then why don't you make one yourself instead of crying about it.


Your nonsense about what you (don't) care about and how I'm upset over a homebrew game shows how much you're able to read. I don't blame you; you've failed to understand most of what was written. You sure talk hatefully about NintendoAge for something you don't care about. Like I said, if you bothered to read the entire thread, you would know that it's not the hombrew game that's the issue. You talk about crying when you're the one crying about getting banned from NintendoAge. It's no surprise. What did you do, beg for money over there?

Of course he's allowed to do whatever he wants with his work. But you better damn well expect that people will judge him for his decisions. Next time you lose a large amount of work, you come and tell me that you're "going for the money".

QuoteI don't blame that guy at all for "going for the money", atleast he's going for something other than whining on forums when he doesn't get what he wants.  It's his work and he's allowed to do whatever he wants with it.  If you want it so badly you can make one yourself.


What the hell does that even mean? Do you proofread your stupid posts before replying? Based on your screwed logic, I should "go for the money" when I don't get what I want. Think back to that for a second because you make no sense. And what is it you want me to make? Oh, right, as I said before: you don't bother to read.

It's clear at this point that you're either a fanboy of this game or you're a yes-man of the game's author. Either way, go back to kissing up to both of those.

no dumbass, you should do the work yourself instead of whining when someone doesn't give out their hard work for free.  I'm not a fanboy of the game nor do I know the author or have any reason to "yes-man" to him.  I just know what it feels like to have people who're too lazy to do the work for themselves complain when you don't give out your work for free and instead make some money off of it.  I would try to explain this further but obviously you're not willing to try and understand.  Anyone who calls a guy a "dick" because he did whatever he wants with his work IS an angry person.  I havn't seen a single good reason why the author is a dick, and something tells me I never will.

Funny I'm the dumbass when you can't even make arguments that make sense. I don't need an explanation for your nonsense; I'm certainly not wasting any time understanding your nonsense either. Anyone who feels the need to lash out when they see that someone is being called a dick is also an angry person. Case in point, you and your NintendoAge sob story. Do you know the author of this game? Do you know the works he did or what kind of developments he was into in the past? I doubt that, so there's really no reason for you to be posting out of your ass and saying that other people have unfounded claims. If you have any common sense, you'd know that people have been judged for doing whatever they want. It's not a crime and it's bound to happen anywhere. Of course you haven't seen a good reason why the author is a dick: you don't bother to use rational thinking, so the reason right in front of you doesn't count.

As for the whole, "doing the work yourself", you simply fail. It's not an issue if he passes his work onto someone else if their intention is to CONTINUE THE WORK. He chose to put his developments on his old site and interested followers are something he definitely chose to accept. For your information, nobody wants to make money off the work he suddenly dropped. Of course you never bother to read between the lines, so you typically failed to grasp the part where I said that it's not his new game people are upset over, but his other work; work for which money cannot be made. Work that would be continued by former followers FOR FREE to benefit several internet scenes. But of course not, you live in your little bubble and think you know it all just by reading a couple of sentences.

I'm surprised this topic hasn't been moderated already...let's get the discussion back to the game, guys. Here's my preview based on the first 10 minutes or so of the Vita version of the game:

Personally, I'd love to have had this on the NES, but we won't. Can't wait for the Vita version.
