hmm... I was expecting something bigger. It's Y2K all over again.
...I guess everyone else is sleeping?

Well, no one's been notified. Normally we get Emails from 8Bit whenever an update happens. The launch would presumably have new features and a new video explaining them. I don't think that stuff is up....but feel free to prove me wrong.

Where was it? It's not on their YouTube channel.
And has anything changed about the basic mechanics?

Are they still doing things on Facebook? Why not doing it on Youtube? Guess I'm the only anti-Facebook guy out there. Any other way we can have access to that?

Great to know I'm not the only one.
Anyway, I really hope the NESmaker team step up their game. That was literally a "soft launch". It seems quite a bit underwhelming to me. I remember Mr. Granato mentioning that he would have to send every activation key one by one, so I understand that part might take a bit of time, but I'm not sure why the launch was only happening on Zuckbook.
Or maybe it's just a matter of time difference. I don't know. It's already evening on the 9th for me, and no NESmaker under the tree yet... So, I've been making a mock map of all 256 screens in Gimp and trying to have all my levels and sprites prepared for the great transition.

Were you a backer? if so, you can just go to the site and download 4.0 -- no waiting required. I don't know if you were a backer or not.

No, I wasn't a backer. I found about the project just a few weeks ago. Thank God, because I could've never waited as long as all the backers!
So for me, the issue is not about getting the software as soon as possible, I can wait. It's just that for a project that gained so much attention and got a really successful kickstarter, I was expecting at least a video acknowledging the launch and maybe an mass e-mail announcement. Again, maybe all these things are coming, just not in time for the official August 8 release date.
