WAVE Game Studios

Long may it continue

@SegaOnline @DreamcastToday Refund has been sent. Our deepest apologies for the delay.

@DreamcastToday @WaveGameStudios So @WaveGameStudios ….I’m still awaiting my refund 👀

@WaveGameStudios no reply from the provided email address for the Driving Strikers refund. Can you let us know whether you’re receiving ? @TheDCJunkyard @SegaOnline

@TheDCJunkyard @falco_girgis @DreamcastToday We have begun reaching out to the affected customers directly to offer a few different options, including a full refund.

@WaveGameStudios @falco_girgis @DreamcastToday We're guessing the PAL cases are too pricey to get hold of? Either way you should really provide that promised update to the customers who have been waiting on them.

I was thinking this myself this morning @WaveGameStudios anyone heard anything ? @TheDCJunkyard @falco_girgis

@falco_girgis @DreamcastToday @TheDCJunkyard Thanks Falco, we have reached out. Maybe there is some way to proceed.

@DreamcastToday @WaveGameStudios @TheDCJunkyard Let us know if there's anything we can do... I can personally say that I know what it's like to be in a similar situation and... well... we should all be supporting and helping to take care of our publishers if they're in need of community support.

@jafo177 @ShadowGangs All outstanding orders have been shipped, with the exception of a few with out-of-stock items. Can you message here with your order number? I can look to see if there has been any shipping issue. - Daniel

@ShadowGangs Can the site trusted, still has yet to ship or respond to my last email? They show 2 stlll..

Only 2 Shadow Gangs Dreamcast left from Wave Game Studios! wavegamestudios.com/product/shadow…

@adrianoneil We ship everything out 48, but apparently that’s treated the same as 2nd Class (albeit with tracking). Hopefully it shows up soon!

@WaveGameStudios Thank you. Also only learned recently that 2nd Class Royal Mail is taking longer than usual. Thanks for the reply. Just the UPS link threw me. 🤣

Has anyone else had an issue receiving game from @WaveGameStudios recently?

@FlxKu Unfortunately Germany blocks every package we send, which results in a very poor customer experience 🥲

@WaveGameStudios Cannot calculate shipping costs to Germany, which blocks the checkout :(

@DreamcastToday @SegaOnline @falco_girgis Rest assured, this isn’t a RedSpotGames moment. We are fully solvent and shipping new orders out daily. The PAL version has seen delays due to factors outside of our control, but is still coming this year. We’re just waiting for a shipment required to put together the release…

@SegaOnline @WaveGameStudios @falco_girgis Same here, I’m hoping this isn’t one of the RedSpotGames moments….

@WaveGameStudios any clarification on the Driving Strikers PAL version shipping at the end of July?

@IssaZombie343 @DrivingStrikers Hey there. We’re shipping today :)

@DrivingStrikers @WaveGameStudios Yes! I was able to place this order! Just waiting on shipping 🥳🥳🥳

The Dreamcast digital .CDI version of Driving Strikers is now available on Itch reality-jump.itch.io/driving-strike… The physical Dreamcast version is still available at Wave Game Studios: wavegamestudios.com/product/drivin… #dreamcast #gamedev #cdi

@falco_girgis @DreamcastToday Thank you. That really means a lot. It’s not always easy by any means, but it’s worth it to give the Dreamcast the life it always deserved

@WaveGameStudios @DreamcastToday You take your time, my friend. You will never hear me complain about anything, given my own past history... You've done a fantastic service to this scene and community by publishing Strikers to begin with, and for that, you have my gratitude. Seriously.

@falco_girgis We were told to our faces by a prominent former Rockstar dev that this was impossible

This is an actual hardware capture of our WIP #GTA 3 port to the Sega #Dreamcast. SUBSTANTIAL framerate gainz have come from converting the model geometry from triangle lists to triangle strips as well as from utilizing KallistiOS's "Direct Rendering" PVR API for fast polygon submission via the SH4 CPU's "Store Queues." Oh... plus we enabled LTO, and it seriously jumped like another 3-5fps. Funnily enough, there's still PLENTY of room for optimization... Every vertex you see was being transformed by the PS2's vector unit coprocessor, while these transforms are being done in plain C++ on the DC's SH4 CPU... These are being accelerated via the SH4's SIMD and fast-math instructions at this very moment. Yes, we got clipping bugs, but we've been too excited trying to push polygons and frames-per-second to bother fixing that shit just yet. Oh, and yes, this is now running on a 16MB stock Dreamcast. #gamedev #retrogaming #indiegamedev

@falco_girgis @DreamcastToday Hey guys, it’s still happening. Real soon in fact… We’re getting these made up this month. We’ve hit obstacle after obstacle this year, but are coming back strong to deliver on everything we’ve promised

@DreamcastToday @WaveGameStudios Oh... is that why I never got my copy? Cuz I had to have the PAL style case? lmao.

@tallstorygames @MetalJesusRocks Can confirm Tall Story is good people! Lucy Dreaming is amazing

@MetalJesusRocks I was planning to send you a big box release of my point & click game, but I just heard that you're going to be at Adventure Game Fan Fair in July too... should I bring a copy along?

@Terry66051570 Hi Terry. I have sent a reply to your DM. - Daniel

@WaveGameStudios No but I am looking for a refund for the order I placed which I haven’t received. Or a reply to the 3 emails and the dm I’ve sent

@StiffPeaks @JasonCo76584874 @myretrolifeshow Here’s a visual demonstration

@StiffPeaks @JasonCo76584874 @myretrolifeshow That’s right. We have released two games using the blue colour referenced above. Fun fact, if you look up that metallic blue Pantone reference in an official Pantone swatch book it looks completely wrong. Like, not even close. Maybe that’s why it was ignored back in the day?

Hmm @supersisi trying to rewrite history? There was never a Red Dreamcast logo exclusive to the USA. I think some versions of the logo online are oversaturated leading to incorrect theories. In Europe the swirl was Blue, elsewhere it was Orange. Check out the US Console Box.

@DemonKuLive They are pressed 😊

@WaveGameStudios Are those demo discs pressed?

This might be a good time to say we’ve never released a game on CD-R

@Terry66051570 With the exception of Indie Sampler #3 which has been delayed for reasons beyond our control, all orders are shipping almost immediately after purchase. Anyone with an order containing Indie Sampler #3 can request for the rest of their order to be dispatched now.

@WaveGameStudios Are you guys still fulfilling orders?
