It's funny that I came across this... Today is precisely the 3 year anniversary of my pre-order of Nimbus. Time flies...

I don't think there was a pre-order for Hera Primavera. The developer isn't sitting on anyone's money. |

I got the refund today. It is unfortunate indeed. Hopefully we at least get a digital release of the game at some point.

Re: Bloxorz "The final version will also be professionally manufactured in Germany, with high quality hard plated gold fingers for the edge connector (the prototype used only a thin ENIG layer, which isn't very durable for an edge connector),"
ENIG is plenty fine for carts (I've done 1000 insertions on ENIG carts from PCBWay and JLCPCB and they looked good afterwards), vs. HASL which looked terrible after just 50-100 insertions. Hard Gold is very expensive.

"Sorry for the again long delay. I'm just too exhausted during workdays to work on it, and didn't have much time on weekends. But starting from next weekend, I will work on it again, and I will stream it live in my Twitch channel. Last time I was working on improving the Unity 3D simulation, because it wasn't always running at full speed, which is important because then you can test the game for bugs or missing features, and it would be as much the same as possible as on the Vectrex, before I burn it on the cartridge. Will continue with this next. And as offered in one of my previous updates, I understand if you don't want to wait any longer and I will refund anyone who wants their money back, including 15% interest rate for inflation compensation, because of the very long delay." Frank: Don't stream it, just ship it... bugs and all  Sadly, 80% of the people won't even play it. Also, send some real Vectrex gamers the final release and we'll test it for you better and faster than the not-finished-yet Unity 3D Simulations can Anyone waiting: Get the refund while the offer is good |

"How is the April 2018 delivery going…..its becoming a bit of a Hellhole" Harsh...but fair  |
