That box looks FREAKING awesome!
The design looks like you used some solid cardboard and where the light reflects it looks nice and glossy! I also REALLY like all the detail on the box like 64Mbit comment and the solar system looking line art around the cart.
The cover looks pretty cool but it to far away to make out clearly. I hope to see some additional pics of the box sometime soon. But so far I have to hand it to you. Great job and i'm glad I ordered the Posterity edition!
If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?
From a collector's point of view, and being a collector as well as a gamer and having purchased the game both to play as well as for posterity... My main issue is: The WIP box looks very appealing and reflects the care and attention taken in creation of the game, although are there any plans to protect it externally after production in any way? Ie, like a plastic slipcase similar to what many collector's currently use to protect their sealed SNES and N64 games? I am sure these would be very cheap to include, and add to the quality feel to the game
For example:
eBay - Game protecting cases - SNES size
The above is just an example of the type of protecting case I am referring to, but would allow you to combine the quality design feel of the cardboard case with the durability and longevity of the plastic cover
I perhaps don't have to remind many people of Sonic & Knuckles, and many of Sega's 32X games and how fragile they are, being cardboard cases, and how many get worn and torn quite easily - I would imagine that many potential customers, both gamers and collector's alike, would enjoy a package that is both well designed, but is also going to stand the test of time.

No, sorry, we will not include such a protection. We donīt use cheapo cardboard like Sega or Big N did either (looking at my copy of X-Perts, the only Sega cardboard game I own, it feels almost like freakinī paper!), it should be sturdy enough to stand the test of time by itself if you donīt abuse it.
Even if they are rather cheap, the little money we earned from the posterity edition is pretty much dedicated to other things already and we canīt afford anymore things; we might not even get even in the end seeing how extremely tight our calculations are.
OhOh! Anyone else got an email saying the game will be delayed till next year? T_T I wanted to play it on xmasand I preordered 2 copies
I have the Posterity Edition on order, but so far have got no such e-mail regarding the game being pushed back till next year.
I'm REALLY looking forward to getting this and Legend of Wukong around the holiday break. So I hope there has been no delay. Then again, I have been waiting for Black Sigil to come out on the GBA/DS for years... so i'm used to waiting for games I REALLY want.

You really got no e-mail? Please check your spam-folder; it is true that the game has been delayed.
We are very sorry, but it canīt be helped. We have our coder and Creative Director have even given up on a paid job in order to spend the time on the game, and we are under enormous pressure; up to a point where we can do no more.
We donīt want to release a flawed game because of the rush, and that would be the result of the December release; so we must ask our customers to have a little more patience with us. We deeply aplogize, we just want to deliver the best we can.
I want to quote Shigeru Miyamoto here: ""A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever"
We still plan to keep you informed on our progress, but we do have one request:
A lot of time goes to waste with our browsing forums and answering specific questions everywhere; we have to reduce that as it is really time-consuming.
So we encourage everyone to register on our own board http://www.piersolar.com/board/index.php; it is free of charge of course. This is where we want to concentrate our communication now, so that instead of having to answer the same question a few dozen times on different boards we have the answers in one place.
Thanks for your understanding.
Unfortunately, this does not surprise me, as I was awaiting this.Originally Posted by 108Stars

I hope everything turns out ok though.

Bummer
Nope. I checked both my E-mail accounts, spam folders, and trash cans and I still have nothing relating to Pier Solar!
I hope my order wasn't lost!!!
Who should I contact about this?
Regardless, It's sad to hear about the delay but in the end it'll be worth it!
If a god is willing to prevent evil, but not able, then he is not omnipotent. If he is able, but not willing, then he must be malevolent. If he is both willing and able, then why is there evil? If he is neither able or willing then why call him a god?
I did not receive an e-mail either. It worries me.
No email here either.
Sorry, my mistake;
I have checked back with our admin and it appears he only sent the mass-e-mail to the people redistered in our forum yet, the buyers will probably get it tonight.
Sorry for that confusion, I donīt even know why it was not sent to everyone at once
No need to worry though, non of your orders is lost.
And, like I said in my last post, please ask your questions on the PS board rather than here in the future; otherwise I canīt guarantee a quick reply.
If you have already ordered and questions about that, please do not pm me either: write a quick e-mail to sales@piersolar.com
Sorry about that I could not find an email on your web page.I can't wait for this game. Keep up the good work you guys.
SEGA!
I got the email on November 15th, and this was my reply:
I am so sad to hear this... not for myself, but for everyone involved... best of luck with it... I'll glady wait as long as it takes... no hurry at all... I've got plenty of time to wait for it... and I'll be happy to upgrade my preorder to a posterity pack now... I trust you'll resume preorders for those... in fact, if you'll do that, I'll just buy one and let my classic pack preorder stand...
Same here. If you open it back up I will get a posterity pack also and keep the regular version.
Are those kinds of cases easy to open and reopen?
My Gaming Collection (Now at Google Drive!)
Those are the same ones my local video store used to have to protect the games.
It's nice, but it will yellow over time. Also, if you keep opening and closing the flap, it will come off.
I rather use poly/cello bags, as they are cheap and easily replaceable.

Will this cart work on a Sega CDX?
My Gaming Collection (Now at Google Drive!)
Yes.
Website redesign everyone!
The version is considerably less.... flashy. (Oh-ho, see what I did there?) Drop us a line and let us know what you think.
And in development news - things are going quite smoothly since announcing the delay. We've seen some new stuff on the graphics front which I think will be to everyone's liking. We're also in the process of hammering out a better system for updating - so expect more (and more frequent) news soon.
Cheers
