Going to feature all the new turntables posted on octopiv4 instagram; get something physical into the stores so we can stop #hashtagging other IPs and mass marketing properly. $5mill stretch goal here we go...
To the first part, I'm not, just guessing at the octopiv4 roadmap; more satire than not but it's not a far stretch to think of their next move with what's being showcased. To your second point, I am, just not nearly as far along on the art side as octopi but when I saw the postings I had to make some kind of buzz related to the turntables. Gives me a metric to what people may like if I have something worth printing on plastic. Also I won't be advertising as just a Pox-game; Poxnora will be there but not in a single form. If I release anything it can't infringe on any copyrights especially when I don't want to copy/paste and I would like to work in some capacity with other devs; my goal was to preserve the game on UE4 at the time when it was announced as free in 2014; that is still the goal now with UE5 and on but with my own loops/lore while following an industry norm of past-future story arc skip = "brand new product' which will more or less be able to make up for my lack of IP. When compared to Poxnora I've expanded on the lore since Boghoppers/Leoss/etc. aren't my own creations I had to fill gaps or make available the possibility I am given rights to the IP; and planning how then do I not miss the ball on that with an expanded corpus.
