Haha thank you!! You got this!!

You can do it!! I have a new devlog coming soon talking about some of the controller changes actually! The levels are harder but the character controller is better now.

Thanks so much man! I really appreciate it! Yes it is our first, it is amazing!! :D

@@TreeFallStudios That's wonderful, I have two myself. Children are such a blessing and make you a better person.

No doubt!! Thank you so much! Yes it all starts with marriage as life is no longer just about you, and then kids bring it to a whole new level! =) It has been an amazing blessing so far, I still can't even believe it!

We just ended up going our separate ways. She was really talented though! Possibly in the future if we can grow I would like to rebuild a bigger team again! I thought about it, and I recently as of like maybe a year ago tried to bring the game up to the current engine and I'm just not sure it is worth it. It has a really cool theme but the model and code is a little rough. I feel like the levels are also decently barren, at this point I would almost rather remake the entire game with a new ish concept and make it better. I thought about just releasing what we had on Steam for like cheap but not sure it is worth the 100$ fee lol. Maybe I will release it as a 1.99 game on PS after a little work who knows.

I see. In that case, I hope you'll one day be able to form a stronger team to fulfill those potentials. I too wana see you grow as a studio since I'm also trying to build a franchise myself. Thanks for answering, and I look forward to splaying that word search game of yours as well as Bounce and Roll Challenge.

Yea the plan is for Maze, Tilt, and PitterPot to go to steam. Starting with just Maze up right now.

A few of the newly announced titles will make their way as well but some of the back log will be coming first :D Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!!

Thank you!! I really like it a lot. I can't wait to share more, the next devlog will have some close ups. I really like the street lamps and the falling leaves. Thanks for watching!

Haha!! That I did!! It will live on one day!! Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to make the games better than ever!

Me too yo!

WOOHOO! Thanks Ryan! Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome! We love the VCS and bringing games to the platform! Definitely have plenty on the way!

Wow that is awesome! Glad you enjoyed it!! I really can't wait to get in there and make some new levels!

PitterPot is always the hype.

Thanks man! I really appreciate it!! Word Searchhhhh!

WE NEVER forget any of our franchises, and we always listen to these types of comments! It just takes some time for us to get back around to everything, it is all on a schedule planned out wayyy ahead :D Glad you are looking forward to maze!

It is super laid back and just not official like other consoles. The best way to get approved is to join the Atari Discord and connect with some of the people working there. That is the most recent way I have seen and helped devs get through.

Sadly no! We used to have games on Wii U though haha. All our current releases are on PS4/PS5 and a good number are on Steam and Atari VCS. We have 1 game on the way to Xbox consoles as well.

I have been working on a bunch of different things behind the scenes, more info to come soon! Planning a new TreeFall conference video soon :D

@@TreeFallStudios That's not an accurate statement🤔. We're working on games that hardly anyone is interested in😑. It's been since Promised for months and you feel like you're being held back😔.

Awe thanks! It is cool seeing our games on a current gen console.

Oh yea that is basically what I am trying to do. Like this better version will be here from the start for PS5 and Atari players. It would also be on Steam if I decided to bring it but I think I am gonna pass on a Steam release for this one. I think it is a fun game but not really a great fit for the Steam market. I am still hoping to get through to Switch some day, I wish all my upgraded titles could go there!

That makes sense for steam. I already got it on wii u; so, I won't be missing much. I sure hope those atari players will be able to enjoy it. I've noticed some of those players took the chance to play the gem collector; that makes me glad that they enjoy something you've created.

That is awesome!

Hey there! I do not think so, unless GDevelop has a linux based exporter. You need an engine that can get you to a linux build and then from there you can work with that to get it running on Atari!

I do believe it can export to Linux! ​@@TreeFallStudios

Well simple ish. You can either re-flash the entire system so its main OS is Dev OS OR you can download a Dev OS onto a USB stick and plug in the USB when you want to boot into dev mode. That way you can have a retail version to play yourself and test your games on once they release, and then a dev version for the original builds. But I'm not actually sure if you can get the Dev OS until you become a registered dev, you might be able too, but I didn't get it til I was already done signing up and I use mine via USB.

@@TreeFallStudios Oh I gotcha! That's kind of annoying that I can't try it, but I guess I understand since other consoles are like that. Thanks for the info!

YO YO! You know you can always hit me up any time bud! Thanks for watching!

@@TreeFallStudios I think you've found your calling as a UA-cam indie game developer content creator because these are always top tier! :)

HAHA! Thanks bud, I really appreciate it. I try my best lol

I mean it is hard to say really. There is a lot of debate on the definition of A, AA, and AAA games. Everyone basically knows what AAA is, but the size, scope, budget, team size etc of single A and AA are kinda harder to pin down to me. I would say at this point the system *mostly* targets small indie games, old school inspired arcade styles, and then actual classic atari games ported to this system. Although there are games developed by Graphite Lab, which if I am not mistaken, might have been purchased by Atari a little while back. They made "Kombinera" and "Mr Run and Jump" and put them on the VCS. Those games are multi-platform but I believe have VCS exclusive content. Those games are probably not what you would call "AA" scope but to me maybe more than single A, they seem to have semi larger budgets. I think they have a decent sized team that works there. Also Atari recently released "Food Fight: Culinary Combat" on VCS which is a fully 3D third person online shooter, so some of the games that do get released have a little bit of a bigger scope that's for sure. But mostly I would say it is a perfect classic game and indie machine.

Truly. Especially that classic joystick, it will really just stab you in the back if you aren't careful.

Well it is super niche. I feel like they did not really do much marketing after the original launch. It probably didn't sell like they were hoping and they just let it fly under the radar is my guess. But I know there are other devs like me actively making games for the system and Atari still drops new games on there so for now it slowly lives on lol!

Yea in my opinion the Zip code payment error is the absolute biggest fault with the entire system. Have you gone to the discord to post about your errors? Typically when you do that they will log them or try to fix it. When I first got my VCS I had the exact same error and could not buy anything. I was in shock thinking this is crazy, how is anyone going to buy my games? But then I got my first sales report in, saw people in the discord playing and having fun and realizing well it must not be everyone. They gave me a support email to reach out too, and then I gave them my account and told them I was unable to purchase games. They spent some time on it and said that is should be resolved. As a test I just got my "personal" VCS account, not dev mode, and went to the store and was able to buy a game, even though I originally had that payment error. So I know it can be resolved, but it is beyond annoying. You gotta realize that Atari is really not the same giant it used to be. The company is much smaller and the amount of people actively on the VCS side of things is even smaller. This product is niche and comes with some growing pains, which I mention in the video. IF all those issues do end up getting fully ironed out, the platform will be EVEN better for devs as customers won't have any problems and be able to enjoy the system much easier. Either way as it currently stands the system is STILL worth it for devs in my opinion. Also I found that if you keep trying sometimes you can maybe get through the error, and basically once you save a credit or debit card in the store you are good to go. I do agree having a gift card system like PSN cards or eShop cards would be great and could fix this entirely. I have mentioned that idea PLUS that having an online store on the web would be a big help to people who work at Atari on VCS. Will it ever happen with this system? Probably not but hey if the system keeps getting all the support from its fans who knows maybe they will make an even better one in the future.

I have heard that a few times now. I have a developer friend in Canada having trouble getting one for a devkit and another developer from Europe asked me about it last night. I know every country is different and I assume importing something from a US seller might be expensive. I need to look into that.

Awesome! Well I am glad you think so, thanks for watching I appreciate it!

Oh interesting, I did not know that!

@@TreeFallStudios UA-camr Dan Wood mentioned his name on his review and brief history of the ATARI VCS .

Wow cool! Thanks for watching the video, I appreciate it. They definitely are missing out!
