Yes, most of the "Mystic Searches" trivia is from their movie.
Some information is from their own posts at NESDev.
I also played their demo a bit. That's where I found out that the game still needs polishing.
Then I read some communication between the developer and some guy who was pretty pissed that the game doesn't get finished. I think that's where I got the details about constantly changing the game to make it in line with the NES Maker tool.

Looks like "Super Robin Hood".  

So, did this game actually turn out to be Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death? If so, it looks like the NES version is still being worked on, last Kickstarter update was in February. I really hope this game gets finished!

"Sydney Hunter and the Caverns of Death" is actually a Flash game from as early as 2012:

Both, the Super Nintendo and the NES version are based on this game.

Hence, "Mayan's Revenge" didn't become "Caverns of Death" because a finished version "Caverns of Death" is even older than the mere idea of "Mayan's Revenge".

Which still means: This very game that was announced in this thread here was never delivered.

Which still means that you harbor a lot of anger about nothing. As usual.

I don't harbor any anger about this game. I probably literally didn't think about it at all between writing my posts. Or do you seriously think that I'm sitting in front of my computer for months, staring angrily at the screen, eagerly waiting for somebody to respond in this very thread, so that I can write a new post?

I saw a reply, I saw a question and I answered that question.

As far as my general stance is concerned: Well, of course it's still the same as last time. I mean, why should it change?
So, yeah, when I tell somebody why his idea that game A became game B cannot be correct from a production point of view, I still have the same opinion as last time: That these guys did a major screw-up. But this doesn't mean that I have active anger towards it.

For example, I'm not a fan of the "Star Wars" prequels. But I basically never think about them in everyday life. I'm not sitting in my chair, cursing those three movies at a constant rate. However, if the topic came up, I would give my opinion on it. This doesn't mean that I "harbor a lot of anger about" those movies.

By your logic, I could say: "Well, SoleGooseProductions, you seem to harbor a lot of anger towards me, as shown by the fact that you felt the need to disapprove of my post immediately. Why are you so angry?"

I think the better question is why do I dislike people being hostile on the forums for no real reason. You've got a steady track record of that between here and NESDev, attacking projects and devs for sport or for egotistical reasons. Someone didn't finish a project that they announced, once upon a great while ago, why dig it up just to show us all of the ways that you're better than said person/dev/company? You're not trying to be constructive, just inflammatory, or worse. A quick read of your posts across both forums is clear evidence of that.

This explains a lot about why I still don't have my Kickstarter rewards.

There was no KS for this, so it would be hard to deliver on any rewards, hahaha. It was simply a game that they announced they were working on at one point. You're thinking of "The Caverns of Death" I would guess. That and "Justice Beaver" (SNES) were their two crowd funded projects. SNES rewards for "The Caverns of Death" were shipped a while back, although the NES version has not been completed, from what I can tell. Perhaps that is what you are thinking of? There is a separate thread for that one though: http://vintage.nintendoage.com/fo....

I have never seen or heard anything about the NES version of "The Mayan's Revenge" other than what the creators themselves posted in this thread. They are working on a new game called "Curse of the Mayan," not to get too confusing or anything  .

For no real reason? Are you aware that the projects I attack are not some private home projects? Whatever anybody does in his freetime is totally up to him. I've seen many projects being announced on the NESDev forum that never went anywhere and I didn't attack them.

But these projects here, they are the games that get a shitload of money before they even started.

O.k., "Mayan's Revenge" was incorrectly remembered by me as a Kickstarter project when it wasn't. So, yes, alright, I made a mistake.
On the other hand, all I originally did here was a snarky summary, and then people started to answer my posts, so of course I answered them back.

But "Caverns of Death" for example made $ 39.000 three years before it came out. 39 thousand. That doesn't count as a hobby project anymore. As soon as this much money is involved, criticism is fair game. You don't accept the shit that actual companies do, so if somebody collects 39.000 before the start of the project, I damn well have the right to call them out when they screw up.

39.000 for a port of an old Flash game, delivery two years too late and they didn't even manage to implement a glitch-free screen transition. You would never accept that from a commercial product, but because it's for a retro console, every criticism is bad because "we have to support the community".

And that's all I have to say about this.

Nope, I just read every page of this thread to make sure I knew what was going on. I'm referring to the mess this game turned into and how poorly it was organized, that explains why the Kickstarter rewards for the other game haven't shipped. The company is a mess.

And that is what really happened. Nothing wrong with that of course, we all do it, but when you can't simply admit it and instead start a bunch of side topics about how others are wrong, then we're left with the show that this thread became after your three year necro rage bump (and continues to become since you keep using it as an excuse to carry on). Everything else is pretty much irrelevant, at least in the current thread. Your comments have, however, served to trash a project and company (which may deserve it or may not), but in the current case this is all due to misinformation on your part.

That's the real issue, you've caused a ruckus over your own error, but used it as an excuse to make some other folks look bad. Anyone who comes along later just sees "Collectorvision didn't fulfill a KS," when that was not the case at all.

But......they didn't fulfill a Kickstarter, they failed heavily.
They posted the campaign in April of 2015 with an expected delivery date of December 2016, that was 2.5 years ago. We're all still waiting.

8 Bit Heroes which was also mentioned in this thread had an expected delivery date of November 2015 and we're all still waiting on that one. Another failure (from another company).

We're also all waiting on Bloodstained: Ritual Of The Night which had an expected delivery of March 2017 (sort of related).

I'm currently waiting on all 3 of these games and have already written them off as canceled which is all we can really assume. 

They did and they didn't. The SNES version is done and shipped, and they've given news and updates reguarly about the NES version. Probably best to post concerns about that campaign in the thread that deals with that game. The current thread here is about a different game all together.

SoleGooseProductions, I will answer one last time to you because you seriously misrepresented my behavior here. Afterwards, say what you want.
  This is objectively wrong.

First of all:
My necrobump post (February 10, 2018 - 06:54:02 AM) didn't mention Kickstarter at all. So, I didn't base my criticism on an error.
Only after five more posts were made by other people did I mention Kickstarter (February 11, 2018 - 07:29:31 PM) which was immediately corrected by you yourself (February 12, 2018 - 06:43:20 AM).
Then I immediately acknowledged my mistake (February 12, 2018 - 08:00:30 AM).

Everything else that I wrote (and I still wrote a lot after my error as you obviously know) had nothing to do with my mistake regarding Kickstarter anymore.

So, this: is bullshit, plain and simple.
The Kickstarter mistake was neither in my first post, nor was it in my last post from February 2018, nor is it in my current post.

If somebody reads a sentence in the middle of a discusssion, but then stops after reading two more posts, then this is really not my fault if the person is such a moron.

You're making it sound like my Kickstarter mistake was the only basis of my rant. It's not. It was one tiny side sentence that got called out and that I acknowledged within one day and four posts.

Not even you were referring to it anymore in these new posts here, until I mentioned it again. Originally, you just commented on my general anger, but as soon as I mentioned the Kickstarter error, you pounced on it and tried to invalidate my posts based on it as if this has always been my only basis for anything.
Funny how you didn't even reference the Kickstarter error in the past days anymore until I myself reminded you of it again. And now you pretend that all of my posts in this thread are based on this piece of misinformation.

During the course of this thread, I criticised several things:
Making a big fuss all over the internet about an upcoming game that they never manage to deliver.
Making a Kickstarter of another game that gets delivered two or three years too late.
Including easily avoidable glitches into the product that got them several ten-thousands of dollars.
Promising a shitload of other games despite barely managing to finish the first.
And so on.

So, don't pretend that I necro-bumped the thread to complain about a Kickstarter campaign that never existed and then everything else was based on this false assumption. Because that's definitely not true at all.

And after my first snarky comment, I only ever replied to other people's post. For example in the current case, it wasn't me who resurrected the thread out of its over one year sleep. WaverBoy asked a question and I replied to it.
But somehow you sound like I brought up the topic again beause I have so much anger in me. I didn't. I saw a reply notification, I answered WaverBoy that "Mayan's Revenge" wasn't turned into "Caverns of Death" and therefore, this game here was still not released.

Then you started the whole off-topic crap about me being angry.

Ironic thing:

My reply was totally on-topic:
Was MR maybe turned into CoD?
No, because CoD is a much older game and a separate porting idea. So, MR has still not appeared yet.

Yours on the other hand was nothing but an attack against me. But somehow I'm the one who's angry. Your post: brought literally nothing to the discussion about "Mayan's Revenge" and was 100 % an ad-hominem rant. Pot, kettle, black.

It wasn’t clear from this tweet but their Facebook post makes it clear that the NES game is dead but turned into what they’re releasing on modern consoles. There was this comment though:

Wasn't Sivak helping with the NES version, or was that a different game?

Yeah, it appears Sivak got involved in March 2014 and left the project in May 2015.

 

we all have, bro. difference is we shrug and ask for forgiveness, not quadruple down with a dissertation.

I, for one, would like to see this game finally come out- but using the magic NES maker 5000- making no one in this thread happy.  
 

Aw, too bad this game will never be finished for the NES
