    Bumping again for the week. Still slow going, but every bit helps. Thanks everyone! And sorry about the dead images, NeoGAF is killing my account right now.

    Going to throw this out there. If you guys can raise 150$ in a week, so next Wednesday, I can release the two games immediately.

    Cut the price to 100$ permanently. Want to make sure these are preserved at this point.

    Half of what I get will likely go to RE GBC anyway.

    Yeah it's still ongoing, nothing new to report. I've been laying low trying to let some of the others who are more urgent get the attention.

    I honestly have no problem waiting for as long as it takes... a week, a year... it's all good with me - and I won't be tapping on the door for a refund anytime in between.

    Now... I really need a dev xbox! :)

    I sold some xbox stuff but still have 4 xbox left, going to move to another house soon.
    I made another donation of $15, just so I cant lose this money to some new wallpaper or buying a new TV.

    :biggrin-new: Hope to see this released soon.

    i think that most people aren´t interested in road rage and dark summit, they probably prefer the unreleased A.I the circuit.

    Considering we can't even raise 200$ for two Alpha games, AI is off the table for now. Alpha kit games are extremely rare, let alone two games. There wont be another opportunity at it really.

    Sad to say, I have to agree with Borman - I'm staggered that the potential for some new xbox releases (devkit or not...) have been pretty much killed outright. Nobody seems interested (at all) in xbox titles around here, which is a shame because it's a great little machine - it seems that no one really cares about preserving them either.

    If this fund raiser had actually gone well - you know a few dollars here, a few dollars there, like most fund raisers around here - then we 'might' have had a chance of doing the same for 'Made Man' and 'Emergency Mayhem' - but I get the feeling that will never happen now.

    I'm genuinely surprised at the (almost) complete lack of interest.
