mrnop: why are you here, again? Do you have any clue about the scene? [edit] this will be moved to the discussion [/edit]

Author spends at least 160 days on the game, solicits feedback and ideas from the public, posts updates and videos with progress.
Group comes along in less than 12 hours after game goes on sale and creates a release for the game. Can't be bothered to NTSC fix due to "being in a rush".
What was the reason for the rush again? :)

Sorry. We were in a rush, and we are also Europe's no.1, not Merca's no.1. Didi has a pathologic need to touch everything, and also unlimited free time it seems, so you could most certainly hold your breath and be safe. :P

I very much hope this gets NTSC fixed. The preview worked decently, but this does not whatsoever. Hopefully Laxity gets this one cooking for ntsc machines. Are you planning it Didi??

Pathetic how an author can't even release original work any more without some desperate group jumping on it the same day just to claim 'first release'.
Why create new software for C64 when you can just re-release 80's games and new releases from the 1% still making them. |

I predict "CSDb is just a database" will be said between posts #15 and #20... |

Hi, I'm the programmer of Galencia. Not having a direct download or link to a download makes life so much easier for me, it means sites like indieretronews and youtubers wont link to here for the download. Genesis Project linking to my store page was the best I could have hoped for and I genuinely appreciate that.
Im in a shitty situation at the moment, Ive been working a zero hour contract in the UK (this means you have no guaranteed hours of work, some days 8 hours, some days none!) so life has been pretty harsh. I start a new full time job on a contract this monday, so I need the money from this game to buy food and some new shoes, my trainers sole is hanging off, its embarrassing. Not the best situation I have ever been in...
If I didn't need the money so desperately I would have waited for release and included NTSC compatibility and released the physical version with the download version all at the same time. But I am not in that situation. |

Well that is the game we're playing in this particular corner of the internet. It's perfectly fine to ignore it if you don't feel like playing. |

Well put, Mager.
Also, mrnop: Boty Laxity and GP is in this game, they are no saints or heros, neither are we. Both groups do fast first releases, and both groups do quality jewel releases too, just check the group's entry lists, and you will find stuff like Ultima IV Remastered V2.2 and Labyrinth of Crete &DS &Map for example, stuff we spent months on doing. I hope that part of the scene will make you happy. If the first release scene irritates you, sorry. Ignore it, then. That race has been around since before your time. Yelling at its existance is just ahistoric and ignorant. The demo scene keeps delivering demos, the cracking scene keeps on delivering cracks. That is what makes the C64 scene alive, compared to the other sleepy old platform scenes, I believe. |

CSDb is just a database
SCNR :P
My 2 cents
For sure, mrnop has a point in pointing out the pointlessness of speed/that whole 1stie jazz resulting in apologies for so-so versions done in a rush just to statwank around in some lists about 10 people give a fart about
But imho 21st century so-called C64 cracking does not really hurt dignity or sales. Any publicity is good publicity for game authors, and that includes their games being cracked no matter how successfully/fast by as many groups as possible :) |

at least this one, unlike so many others that have been "cracked" lately, is a game actually worth playing :) |
