Get well soon Vlad, thanx for reporting in. Does anyone else see the irony of someone named Vlad developing for the Vampire?

OMG, How did I not notice that during last year of coding for Vampire?

This should be somehow integrated in my start-up logo/intro:
Some Transsylvanian background with Vampire flying in front of moon or something

Where can I buy this game? Final Lap R and Outrun were promised at another 4 months each, so I guess at least one of them is available, right? I'm looking forward to all these releases!

gshumway · 02 January 2022, 06:15

So those who pre-ordered, how is this game?

hUMUNGUs · 02 January 2022, 08:52

Havent heard anything for at least 6 months. So, i guess the project was cancelled. Too bad the author couldnt be more informative though. Lesson learned !

Classic VladR. Promise the world, deliver basic tech demo, deliver excuses, deliver an expanded scope for the project and then disappear.

You know him?

Some time a go, on the Apollo forum, he offered refund to everyone.

Hasn't he been burning bridges in the Jaguar community a few years ago?

What people should learn from this (and Alarcity as well) is that you should never ever ask people for money before you have a finished and tested product that's ready for release.

Ah, yes, the "as good as Wipeout" guy. That was quite amusing.

Yep, he spent many years doing this same thing to the Jag community. He never released a single thing. Most people caught on, then he finally moved over here to a new audience. I imagine he's on a Sharp X68000 forum or something promising a Daytona port now.

It is the people who give in to preorders that make preorders a worthy enterprise, it is not fair to exclude them from the responsibility.

Sadly people got used to preorders, season passes and all the other 'the game isn't complete, but we figured you can test it for us and pay extra for it when we fix it' shenanigans. I have to illusion that it'll go away again, but at least I won't be mad if people get a reminder from time to time what they are supporting.

Three years since the pre-order, how is this one coming along?

gimbal · 09 March 2023, 18:08

Anyone have a picture of flogging a dead horse somewhere that won't make a moderator mad?

Just post 'It's dead Jim' or 'Let it go' instead.
