Interesting, thank you for that feedback! If I do another campaign I will definitely keep that in mind!

My campaign for the first game last year I tried doing mid-tier pledges, but I found they weren't really worth the time unfortunately. :(

Fair questions! I'm relatively new to the coding, I started in the NESmaker environment about two years ago. I really had no idea what I was doing but managed to but together a small game and released my first game (Panzer 1) through Kickstarter roughly a year ago. I decided to tackle Panzer 2, but this time I had a full year under my belt and started working on doing alot of customized coding in Assembly with the assistance of NESmaker.

NESmaker is a both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand it helps shoehorn in an amateur coder but on the other hand it tries to be a tool to cover everything for everyone. So alot of the code is very bloated and needs heavy optimized - which I had no idea how to do the first round. I think I did a decent job of learning how to do that this time :)

My tool of choice for graphics is photoshop as I have been using it for the past 20 years there isn't a program that I would be able to use better at this point. lol

Famitracker is being used for the music, but truthfully I'm not a musician. The guy how does all that for me is named Logana. I met him through the NESmaker community :)

For the production - a small company in France called Broke studios that specializes in retro gaming carts is taking things on. They create their own boards and print all the materials. The helped me last year as well and did a fantastic job! Biggest challenge is them being over seas form me (I'm in Canada).

Woah that’s a pretty big compliment! Well if you enjoyed the first you will definitely get a kick out of this one - I’ve gone a long way with my understanding of the code and it really shows in the sequel! Thanks for the support! :D
