I think your English is fine enough as you make sense. I know Chinese games get a bad wrap, a good bit for the poor hacks are deserved, but even during the famicom time a good many famicom pirates were made to copy real games in a new cartridge to save money and were well built and the multi-game cartridges were fun too.

Your game looks very good. It seems to control well. The graphics and the sound are good too. It reminds me a little of Kid Icarus in the very last stage when Pit is flying mixed with Choplifter since you return the stars to your base (house.)

People do put homebrew on ebay to sell, but it is usually people selling a copy they bought. I think the idea is that home brew people tend to keep it within a community, but you really do not need to do this if you wish to let a lot of people play your game and not a limited number. You can definitely sell it on ebay, there should not be a problem since you did not steal other licensed game graphics or audio. I think the Brewery would be great to show off the game and get people interested with updates, but the Seller's Forum would only be good to SELL the game because people go there to buy things. CIB means Complete in Box or Cartridge/Instructions/Box depending on who you ask. With your game I would suggest a game only sale, and a game/instructions/box setup for more dedicated collectors.

I've got to say you have one of the best home brew games I've seen so far.  The level of quality that went into the control, challenge, graphics, and audio seem to be very well thought out.  It doesn't appear to cut corners or come off as a mediocre unlicensed game of the 90s that would get overlooked and few homebrew have done this.

Since he is new, he might already know, but to be safe I would like to add as a rule that there's no asking for paying for orders in advance here on this site-- such as pre-orders. You can do an "Interest Check" which is basically similar, but nobody is paying in advance.


If you decide to sell on here, you can ask the best way to set it up, the community here will help you out. I agree that the Seller's Forum part of this site might be the best way to go to sell your game.

Very cool. You could easily sell 100+ copies here on Nintendo Age if the last Homebrew release is any indication.

Your game looks really good and I too would buy a copy. I would recommend against selling on e-bay as a lot of bad things can happen there and both you or your buyers could get ripped off. You came to the right place for help as several people on this site have made and sold home brew games, hopefully they will help you.

I'd like a copy.

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.

Just don't use the word homebrew when selling on eBay. They don't really know what it means, and it could get pulled down. Just saying it's a new game should be fine since it's clearly not a bootleg (since this game didn't exist before you made it).

Have any GBA NFR games with back stickers for sale or trade?  See my want list below :)
