True, but then where would he have kept that many pre-folded boxes?

As somewhat of an old timer, I have a few tips: 1. Monochrome CGA should work with the composite output, where it simply turns off the chroma subcarrier, leaving the monochrome equivalent of the 16 colors. 2. Those boxes must have been badly prepared at the factory, if they had done the profile pressing of folds, assembly should have been 2 to 4 times faster. 3. You should have looked around for a used floppy duplication machine, they run at normal speed but can be fed a stack of 25 to 100 blanks, then grind away while you pack boxes nearby (they do get stuck occasionally, so running unattended for days doesn't really work). Finding a 5¼" copier in working condition may be too hard though. Also such copying jobs wear out drives, so use the least rare DSDD drives. Note that all the later PC floppy controllers can still handle DSDD drives.

Thanks for you and your wife and everyone's help making this project happen!

It's interesting to see the difficulties with all the packaging process, it's not something we really think about. It also explains why my box was slighty crooked even though is was really well packaged for shipping and why the sticker on my 3.5" version is not exactly centered, I didn't realised it was all done by hand. (Apparently, I have the second edition with the fancy transition effect. Huh, neat!)

Eye opening about kickstarter and the scale of this project. Massive amounts of hard work and great collaboration. Congratulations.

That cover art is absolutely awesome. I love the colors they used, and the art itself looks so good. It is amazing to see different people come out of nowhere and add so much to this project. Also, the little differences between the shipped versions adds character to the game, it reminds me of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, which I believe also has 4 different versions throughout production, with the early versions being more rare and valuable. I just hope BBC doesn't bust you because you actually called it a Tardis and not a british telephone box.

Man, if you open-source it, get ready for a ton of mods. People LOVE mods.

A game can't really be modded without some semblance of mod support already existing. Although I'm sure the community could add mod support to the game with it hypothetically being open source.

@@dhkatz_ That first mod would be the mod-loader, basically. Minecraft doesn't technically have native mod-support, either, and that didn't stop folks. I suspect modded! X3 is going to take advantage of higher end hardware then the oringal design.

Great job guys! I really appreciate that you show a development process of an entire indie game, it is extremely interesting! Keep up the good work!

Congratulations!! And thank you for sharing your kickstarter experience!!!

That high-res art used for the manual looks incredible! And would make a good style for a planet x4 if it were to run on a 486 or better computer, of course producing something that high fidelity would be such a major pain in the ass and essentially require you to print the game on CDs

"I knew the release date was around the corner" - You know this guy is a nice dude when he actually takes his kickstarters seriously.

The box and packaging process is absolutely fascinating. Anyone else agree?

yeah he's a box filling machine shipping packages is a lot of work man it's time consuming work

A very instructive video and again, congratulations on all your hard work and commitment to finishing what you started and delivering all you could!

I just want to let you know that I really respect your work ethic. You made a super quality product, and it shows. Thanks so much!

I have a sudden urge to bludgeon a Protoid with a vintage 1970s turntable.

Really? I mean I think I would do it with anything by Crosley personally. Nothing of value lost.

I'd love to be able to look at the source code and see if I can't try porting it to the Wii.

Yes I'd love that too, it's almost a dream if it happens

I can tell that you put a lot of heart, soul and hard work into this game & I'm confident that your efforts will pay off! I've been a fan for 5 years, and I've loved everything that you've done from the day I started watching your channel! The best of luck for the future and what it might hold!

I love seeing life brethed into old systems with new games & hardware! Congrats on making 2 great games & I hope you make more!

I was literally binging the entire series these past 2 days and right when I finish, you upload this. Insane timing, love it.

Well done! What an amazing experience! Thanks for sharing this with us.

I love that there is so much passion for "vintage" style games like this, and that you found a cool, talented community to help in so many ways.

amazing work and exemplary determination! hats off!

I love listening to you explaining how these old machines work, and I feel like I'm constantly learning new things about the computers I've been using since my childhood. Two thirds of the stuff you say in your videos still goes way over my head, but that's down from 80% two months ago. ;) I love it! Thank you for all the great content.

Imagine being a kid and getting asked by Dave to go to his house and play a game he made. I would do it, can't imagine how my parents would have reacted tho

I ordered a boxed copy, and I'm super excited for it to arrive! Your dedication is amazing. It's a trait not everyone has.

Congrats for all the work you put into this project!

I am very much impressed with all the work. Great job David and team.

I got to know about Noah through Woody's Piano Shack discord and his passion for Retro music equipment is at another level. It's great to see his work in a real game that makes use of real retro hardware. Also, great video. It didn't feel as long as you advertised in the beginning.

Thank you for being willing to share your source. As someone who would like to learn how to program in assembly someday this is very good to hear.

Well done getting through all the various issues. This was very interesting and thought provoking!!!
