The inspiration source of NEW NESGAME StarKeeper
This article is translated by translation company, if there is any unclear, please understanding.
Hello everybody, I would like to thank you for your attention and support for StarKeeper, because my English is very poor, so I can not reply to the posts sent by the players on time, and I apologize for that.
I would like to clarify one thing, I recently found a lot of reviews and reports about StarKeeper on the Internet. and it mentioned one thing, that are many people think that the inspiration of this game is from a video game called Jetpac. Actually, during the whole development process, I have no idea of Jetpac`s existence at all. Actually, when I saw the video of this game on youtube, I don`t even know which platform this game runs based on. As a matter of fact, the real inspiration of StarKeeper is the classic game called “Balloon Fight” on the FC/NES, I used to play this game when I was a child,and I always have an idea, how excited the design would be if a bullet can be launched to attack the enemy. But even the Ballon Fight, I refer to its control methods only, and I came up with all the rest, including the flying house and stars collecting system.
The development of StarKeeper remain underway, I have already finished the software part, now I am working on the cassette shell and PCB circuit board. The game launch will begin on May if everything goes well.
Thank you

Will you be using donor games or new parts to build your game cartridges?

the first batch of cartridge
Can't wait for the release of Star Keeper. Have you decided on how you are going to sell it? It might be a good idea to sell it through several places, such as here, eBay, or wherever. I know many folks here would take a copy today. It is a fantastic looking game!

I had the same thing happen to me last winter. Thought of what I believed to be a novel concept, worked on it for quite some time, and then at some point realized that not only had I more or less copied another game, I had done so for the most famous game in the genre . One day I'll finish it regardless, simply because I know that it was original to me.

I will sell it on Ebay
A stock of "but it nows" (BINs), or will it be individual copies auctioned off to the highest bidder? Also, will it be cart only, or the full cart/manual/box combination?

A true gentleman! Cannot wait for this
Out of curiosity, does anyone know anybody on the forum that can read/translate Chinese. I hate to think that zxdplay is having to pay someone to translate all of our random thoughts and enthusiasm for his project. Unless, of course, you are using a free service.
My brother in law has sufficent fluency to translate his own academic papers into Chinese, so if they want to contact me about possible improvements to their translation, I would be happy,to help.
