I'm guessing at the MSX Resource Center booth. AFAIK he's coming, and MRC booked more tables than needed.

Any visitors coming by car from around the Amsterdam/Haarlem region whom are willing to give me a ride to the fair?

Too bad I don't see a boot for project melancholia. I was hoping for a release at the fair...

If there's something to show, mayhaps Sama will abuse the MRC booth for that.. ^^

Mmmmh, as it looks now, Sama won't even be present at the Nijmegen fair this year. Apart from that, I share the desire to release the patch, but the finishing touch is not in my hands, but in the hands of Max, someone whose priorities (understandably) have been elsewhere the last few months. That's probably the downside of doing something for fun: if life intervenes, it stalls...

Anyway, just want to let you know that even though Melancholia won't be there at Nijmegen and even though we announced a release in early 2012 but haven't released anything new so far, the project is far from abandoned. It's just the final finishing touch that still needs to be done...

I'm all for receiving an unfinished project that might need some later patching.
It's not that uncommon in the current professional games world either. ;-)

Hello, Everybody!

Unfortunately because of my personal issues I was unable to put too much time into Project Melancholia or some other projects in recent months... But as Sama said, the project is not abandoned, it's 90% finished. All texts and 90% of gfx is translated, 99% of code is done. The game is fully playable. Only final polishing is left.

In 2011 we had a blast and was working at amazing speed. Unfortunately 2012 was different... And I am sure that 2013 will be a blast year again!

I understand where you coming from... but we would like to release a nearly perfect project! For patch for patches you will need to contact Microsoft

That's great news! This is one project that I'm anticipating big time (on of my favourite games). Is there still plans for Fray and Randar 3 projects?

I have never been to a nijmegen fair before, but is it just me or are there more standholders than ever? Compared to the other "reminder" newsposts on mrc.

Yes. We still plan to finish other projects after SD-snatcher is finished. So you can expect another release this year.

The fair was far more fun then anticipated. It was worth the long drive

Lot of fun to see and a successfull conversion from a NES to MSX was performed on one of my friends.
