I have to admit I never heard of this game before but damn… the soundtrack is hot!!
I’m really loving it, you should really give it a shot!

Well, if someone came to me last year and told me “hey don, you know, you’re going to have 300 members in your forum in one year” I’d probably make a funny face and tell him “yeah… sure…” while patting on his virtual shoulder.

Guess what?
As a write this post, we’ve reached 300 members on the forums!!!

I want to thank all of you guys for following us so far, watching our community grow day by day is awesome and it really makes me feel less lonely on this small retrogaming music island.

What’s more, our Youtube channel has 93 subscribers and 19482 unique views and last month people have watched a grand total of 3120 minutes of videos (that’s 52 hours!!) and our Facebook page has 126 Likes so far!

The project is growing each day and I can’t be happier, I really hope that this will turn one day into something huge and become a landmark for people looking for high quality retro game music.

I’ll close this post saying that a new release is coming very very soon and the next one is already in the works and it’s gonna be epic!

Again, thank you for sticking with us and I’ll see you guys soon!

The links to the forum in the download pages have been fixed!

Thanks to user “internet turd” who tweeted the project about this issue!

 

It is finally done!! The high-res version is a whoopin’ 2GB download splitted in 8 chunks!

I’d say this is THE masterpiece by Jesper Kyd, cannot be beaten.
You can’t miss on this one, go get it, NOW!

Once more… I really want to say sorry for all the inconveniences that I’ve caused in these 3 days but I’ve been working 9 hours a day ONLY on this website to make it better and take your user experience to the next level.

You’ll probably have noticed that I’ve changed again the forum platform, I had to do this because BB Press was just too simple, too minimalistic and sending private messages was not as straightforward as I’d liked to. In addition to this, there were several things that were not working correctly and after spending hours trying to fix them I gave up and went looking for something else.

The new forum is powered by Mingle Forum and it works incredibly well so far, I really encourage you guys to try it out and see if everything is ok.

There’s a beta version of it that looks even better than this but there are no skins for it and therefore it doesn’t blend well with our wordpress theme. I’ll be waiting for it to be released (or for skins to come out) and then we’ll upgrade.

New features to look out for:

• Upper right, next to your user name: there’s a small thing that will notify you about stuff that happens in the website, so you can immediately see if there’s something new from your last visit (testing needed).
• Improved profiles: now you can make a better profile, with more stuff and use an avatar without registering to the Gravatar service. Those who already have a Gravatar won’t need to change anything.
  Due to this change, people will have to partially redo their profile.
• Private Messages: yes, they are here, they are INSIDE the forums and are well implemented in the system: now you can directly message a user and/or compose a new message from scracth.

I still need to “clean” the forum and put back all the stickies, close the threads were people are not supposed to write in, etc… I’ll make some of these today and the rest tomorrow.

I hope no posts got lost during the various migration (the last one from bbPress to MingleForum was extremely painful, I had to inject manually the threads and posts via SQL queries): if you see a post you made missing, I deeply apologize for this and I kindly ask you to post again the content.

aaaand…. that’s all folks!
Again… I encourage you trying these new features out and report in the forums if everything works for you.

I’ll see you next week with a new release!

Hi everyone,

it’s been a long, long day of super hard work for me, trying to migrate everything and make all the stuff work, but it’s finally done.

There’s still work to do, bugs to squash here and there, little adjustments to do, but I’m too damn tired now to go on.

Following the style of the website the forum has a minimalist look which I really hope you’ll enjoy. The forum now is faster and more responsive.

The only problem is that you’ll have to redo part of your user profiles: these have been vastly improved, now you can use an avatar without using the gravatar service.

And finally, the much requested Private Message feature. Many of you asked for it and here it is.

There are loads of things to try out, I kindly ask you to try several functions of the new forums and features and report all that’s not working as I haven’t been able to due to time restriction.

That’s all for now, see you in the forums!
