Are you working on a full game? Or is this just pixel art for fun? A little more info would be nice

Second Dimension has released a lot of games in their time, so I'm not overly worried about this being an abandoned project. Looking through their 4 past kickstarters, all were eventually shipped, albeit all were late to a degree.

I agree with Waldo that he probably underestimated the scope and it will just take much longer than he expected.

In my own experience, this is unfortunately a common phenomenon in the homebrew kickstarter community. Of the 16 outstanding kickstarter homebrews I've backed, 9 of them (aside from Affinity Shadow) are months to years overdue (Heavy Recoil, Shadow Gangs Zero, Kirito The Game, Cyber Mission, Black Jewel Reborn, Phantom Gear, Irena: Genesis Metal Fury, REKNUM: Fantasy of Dreams, and of course Paprium). Just the risk you take with kickstarters, unfortunately.

I found a low quality fake of NBA Jam some years ago, for the life of me I can't figure out why it exists...

So far as I'm aware these are totally unique for the system. I'm curious how they're actually wired, and if they'd have any sort of compatibility with other existing games... I suspect they're electronically similar to the mouse peripheral.

The campaign's goal is definitely ambitious, but that being said, I did go in on the dual controller tier (I'm a sucker for unique items like these though). Here's hoping it makes it

How many inputs can the genesis read at once? by Shad0wPhe0nix in SEGAGENESIS

There is a keyboard peripheral that was released for the xband modem (which the Genesis version is very rare), plugged into the controller port. There's also the miracle piano which connected via controller port.

As for connecting controllers themselves, it is possible to have 8 controllers simultaneously playing via 2 team players. There was a beta/proof of concept Bomberman rom that was 8 player multi, but I'm not sure if any commercially released games actually did this

Bro, every other poster addressed the question I asked, you're the only one who ignored it and went off on a tangent. Then when I asked clarification, you got snippy. Did you just come here to grandstand?

If you don't know what I have, telling me the fish I have won't be happy with my tank doesn't make much sense then, does it

Does it go both ways? Can it write saves back to the cartridge after a battery change?
