Project Neon (Neo Geo) preorders re-opening, shipping March/April '24

Post by mtn360 »

Hi there,

For those not following us on https://twitter.com/fullset_collect, I'm happy to announce that work on the game has been completed, and we've entered the PCB production phase.

For more information, please check out Todd's excellent summary here: https://www.retrorgb.com/neo-geo-shmup- ... ction.html

We've also added "just a couple of more shots" (!!) to the product page, where pre-orders will re-open in about 24 hours from here: https://fullset.io

Any questions, fire away!

So it says sold out. Are you only doing 1 run? If so, why?

Pre-orders are re-opening in about 24 hours, we are just getting some last things in place :) We're planning to do a couple of batches.

what's the scoring system like? is it chaining kills + picking up coins and then boss milking the individual parts?
who's all involved in the development/testing?

I love the sprite work and aesthetics

Any chance of a Neo-Geo CD port? :D

Looks fun to me and I can see a few Dogyyuun influences :)

All the best with the project.

Does the MVS cart of Project Neon save high scores & high score initials to nvram?

Looks like Mega Drive port of a Master System game, you know, similar to Super Mario Allstars...

Yes, it does today! But, we'll likely have an even better solution than that, which would also make this work for AES. And no, it's not a memory card, that we use exclusively for stage progression saving :)

I indeed played a lot of Dogyuun & Batsugun back in 2019 when I started work on the prototype. Followed by ChoRenSha, ESP Ra. De., Batrider, and Garegga... so you'll likely notice a few references/homages paid to a couple more games across visuals, mechanics and/or enemies :)

We certainly kept the Neo Geo CD in mind during development. There are a few special considerations, though, so we'll look at things again a bit further down the road.

I was ready to pull the trigger since I’m looking for a new game to play on the cab, but I think I’m gonna hold off and hear impressions first

If anyone nabs this, I’d be curious how the scoring system works

I preordered several years ago for AES, so I'll definitely give impressions once I get my copy.

I also have already preordered (recently) and am very keen to hear the soundtrack…but at the same time I have no TATE capabilities :( and Neo XYX kinda sucks in YOKO faux tate.
Used to put my 29 Sony Trinitron on the its side but once that killed the TV I never dared to do it again with its replacement. Those things are getting kinda hard to find….
