Their time and effort, with all of the required equipment, for no monetary compensation - people who know exactly how to extract the data on this GD and turn it into a bootable ISO in a mere matter of hours. At best, it's likely to be a competent port of a PC game quite probably in an unfinished state.įor me though, the most annoying aspect to this whole saga is that multiple people in the community have offered their help for free. It's not a Geist Force or some hitherto unknown port of Planet Harriers or Virtua Fighter 4. Furthermore, this is Deer Avenger 3 we're discussing. Nobody knows what is on that disc - it could literally be a proof of concept demo or just a menu screen.
I hope I'm proven wrong and somehow wunderbreadv2 gets the $1000 he's campaigning for, but the truth of the matter is that no matter how interesting the story is, the Dreamcast community is probably not going to stump up that kind of funding for an unknown quantity. Now, allow me to be brutally honest on this whole thing: This Go Fund Me will probably not be funded, and the reasons are multiple. At the time of writing, the campaign has received plenty of Facebook shares.but a total of $0 in donations. Instead, wunderbreadv2 has set up a Go Fund Me in order to raise the sum of $1000 in order to release the game. In the previous article I mentioned that several members of the Dreamcast community who are well versed in extracting game files from GDs were working with the disc's owner, but it now appears that this is not the case.
And doesn't look promising at this point. Anyway, I thought it was about time that we gave you an update on the discovery and just when we'll all be able to experience Deer Avenger 3 on our Dreamcasts. You couldn't make stuff like this up but as the recent discovery (and subsequent release) of Millennium Racer: Y2K Fighters shows, sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.
