Hi, I’m contacting you because I want to make a homebrew tribute USB. I’m collecting as many content creators as possible. I also want to include a profile for each one, with a few details, such as their logo, avatar, name, work completed, projects, etc., so you can see who’s behind their creations.

That profile, along with any material you allow me to upload, will be placed on a USB drive. This will act as a database of creators and their creations, and will be updated as I connect with new people.

The USB I’m thinking of creating will be one of those rubber-type USBs, shaped like a Spectrum computer, something that looks really nice. The idea is that those who contribute material, and if they want to buy one or more, will get it at cost price, and those who just want to buy one, it will cost a little more.

The idea is that if enough are sold, enough to recover the initial investment, the profits that the rest of the USBs could generate will be distributed among the people who have contributed material to the project, via transfer, PayPal, or however possible, even if possible, that the USB will be free. Obviously, you can buy more than one, but only one of them can be free.

It’s not necessary or mandatory to buy the USB, only if you like it or want it.

If you’re interested in this project, you can contact me at this email, flopping@gmail.com. If you have any questions or concerns, let me know and I’ll answer them. Do you think the idea is a good one? Would you like to participate in the project? Let me know. Best regards.

Juan.

Hi Juan, thanks for the proposal. TBH, I don't like the idea of putting in a single cauldron for sale all the homebrew productions when they are already available for free or, in some cases, on sale elsewhere. Possibly, I would prefer some physical releases on cassette, organized by single author or maybe by genre or theme. Also, in my case, some releases are currently on sale on cassette, which are collector's items today. Thanks again, but I'll pass.

Ciao Luca,

L’idea è più quella di creare un database di creatori di giochi, i giochi come dici tu, sono gratuiti e possono essere scaricati senza problemi, l’idea è di riunire i creatori di giochi in un unico posto, sarebbe come un database, ogni creatore avrebbe un file, con alcuni dati, niente di personale, né confidenziale, solo così gli utenti sanno chi c’è dietro quelle creazioni, non si tratta di creare una USB piena di giochi, ma qualcosa di più, e che sia aggiornabile man mano che escono altri creatori, ho anche intenzione di modificare le cassette di giochi in seguito, ho iniziato con questa USB, ma voglio continuare a modificare i giochi su nastro, se pensi che potrebbe essere interessante, ti invito a partecipare, con il gioco o i giochi che vuoi, o con una demo, nessun problema, come ho detto, non si tratta di creare una USB caricata con i giochi e basta, inoltre, non c’è problema, che i giochi che mi fai usare, siano in altre compilation o modificati su nastro, chiunque voglia una cassetta, la compra comunque, il gioco è su USB o in download diretto, non credi?

Hi Luca,

The idea is more to create a database of game creators. The games, as you say, are free and can be downloaded without any problems. The idea is to bring game creators together in one place. It would be like a database. Each creator would have a file with some information, nothing personal or confidential, just so users know who’s behind their creations. This isn’t about making a USB drive full of games, but something more, and that it can be updated as more creators emerge. I also plan to edit game tapes later. I started with this USB drive, but I want to continue editing games on tape. If you think this could be interesting, I invite you to participate, with the game or games you want, or with a demo, no problem. As I said, this isn’t about making a USB drive loaded with games and that’s it. Besides, there’s no problem with the games you let me use being in other compilations or edited on tape. Whoever wants a tape, buys it anyway. the game on USB or direct download, don’t you think?
