Editing Update and Contributors
19 days ago – Sat, Oct 19, 2024 at 04:15:35 PM

Happy Early Halloween!

I'm happy to report that the editing has been going well. I'm over 250 pages in, finishing the entire licensed US section and PAL exclusives. With just a few sections left, I'll be putting the finishing touches on the interior shortly.

That means it is time for those of you who are contributors to submit your stories. You can write about your favorite Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Game, a fun story with the console, or any other Sega Genesis/Mega Drive musings you may have. Email them to me at [email protected], along with any pictures you want to be associated with them, and I'll be sure to add them in. I'll also begin contacting those that do not check the updates here as well, to ensure their story is not missed.

I also may have some exciting news coming up within the month!

I'm super excited to let you know that the hardcover book The Complete Genesis is finally completed, thanks to your amazing support! I want to give a huge shoutout to all the backers who made this project happen.

Next up, I'll make sure the book is edited to perfection and gather all the backer stories for those who chose this option. I'll be sharing pictures and running polls for the free coin and patch as they're being created, so stay tuned for that.

I'll also be reaching out to get your addresses and offering opportunities to snag other items as things progress. Your ongoing support means the world to me, and I can't wait to share the final product with all of you.

Thanks once again for being a part of this incredible journey!

Complete Genesis Progress

Another great week and we are making steady progress with the campaign! We are only a couple hundred away from unlocking the book's first free major quality upgrade, which is a sewn-in spine, bookmark ribbon, and headbands/tailbands. These are all fantastic things that will put the book over the top, and something I am delighted is going to be able to happen!

New Aftermarket Genesis Physical Release!

Today I received word that a new Sega Genesis Aftermarket Game is getting the physical treatment. Rocket Panda, which will be covered in the book, was announced by Mega Cat Studios today. They also provided me with the cover art to be included in the book. Check it out!




Thanks for all the support!
