Looks like their kickstarter ended some time ago, @ZNET created a thread about this back in 2020. Should be seeing a few episodes being churned out.


 
I was involved in this project from 2019-2021, I was the Chicago area producer and gave them a lot of industry contacts. when time came around to interview them, I was no longer involved and the man doesn't talk to me anymore.

if you want an idea about what the release schedule could potentially be like, go look up the story behind Viva Amiga.

seemed like this was a more recent endeavor, didnt realize it goes back to early 2020, disappointing...
apologies if this had been posted previously

says it was expected 2022, at least there are a couple of recent posts but safe to say the backer community is not pleased

summer 2019 was when I was first made aware of it. when I started talking to the director he was completely enamored with me and what I knew. my grandparents were amusement operators and by virtue of their poor life choices that's how I became a game technician, but I also had to manage that thing and a host of other duties that get overlooked because of what I do now. the guy was very open about how they goofed up Viva Amiga, the previous project, they did the Kickstarter thing and I think it took about 6 years to finally release.

I don't remember the sequence of events from 2019 because that was what I consider multiple lifetimes ago but we got on a tangent about Galloping Ghost Arcade and how I knew a lot of game developers and I eventually started funneling their contacts when the thing grew more. so by 2021 is when interviews started. I specifically requested I come with to Raw Thrills and Stern because I know Eugene Jarvis and although I've seen him like 20 times I never got to personally meet Gary Stern. basically they came to Chicago and did everything without me and then told me after the fact how great it was. I was supposed to work Pinball Expo and Midwest Gaming Classic 2021, neither came to fruition. they wanted me to help organize their video footage and it would've been paying work in a time when I was out of work because of COVID and every time I asked about it they would give me some bogus excuse why they didn't want me to do it. even though they brought it up multiple times.

in effect I was used for my contacts and thrown away like a crumpled piece of paper. the man called me up at 3 am a couple years ago when I was in Texas far away from everything and yammered on about a bunch of random things and kept asking how I was doing and wouldn't let me answer. then he abruptly hung up and that was it. I had unfollowed the Facebook page years ago and Facebook just decided I needed to see it again (their system doesn't even follow its own rules) and there was an announcement a few months ago that it was done. I was mad I was even reading it, so now I unfollowed the page. I'll probably appear in some interview footage or B roll clips somewhere and my producer and crew credits completely omitted. if they wanted to do something involving the arcade community or something of actual substance beyond some rich dude with a massive EM collection and Amiga Bill's visual effects, they would've listened to my suggestions. the man thought he knew better.

As Butt-head observed to Beavis, "That sucks, dude."
