yea dont ever put pressure on yourself to do anything. Your heart has to be in it. Youve probably earnt a break. Cant wait for the Metamorphosis Collection to ship

The reward of the non linear path is that you end up with a game with a lot of replayability. I think thats a huge part of why The Machine is so popular. The most common complaint I see from other gamers who play a lot of homebrew games is that theyre too short. Art style and the mood that can afford a game is great, and your work is particularly great in that regard, but especially for those investing a pretty big whack sometimes in physical games find it hard to justify the price for games that are so short. I cant even begin to imagine how much work must go into creating a branching game like The Machine but it was 100% worth it. I was speaking to someone today who shared a picture of all his physical release homebrew games for GB, GBC and GBA. I asked him his top 5, he listed them but said “if you have to play one game play The Machine, its insane”. Out of about 50 games he physically owned that was his recommendation, I cant think of better praise to give than that. Its really something special.

thanks, i played the demo and love the style, feels a bit like Simon Stalenhag does 8 bit with a Stranger Things vibe. I love all of it. Well ive purchased all of your physical releases to date so im happy to back this. Thanks again

but would you be able to provide an up to date rom with the fixes?

how long is Specimen 134 roughly and how many endings? The Machine is one of my all time favourite GBC games so hoping for something of similar quality. Keep up the great work. Can we have The Machine 2? Or another sci fi interactive adventure, love the gameplay style so much

if i purchased a physical version from your above link would i be able to re flash the cart with and up to date rom file with all the bug fixes using my Epilogue GB Operator?
