Our closed beta test has been OUTSTANDING! It’s been amazing having people play through the whole game, talking about its story, making suggestions, and sending back video clips.

We’re very nearly there – the remaining bugs are medium-to-low priority, the game is super stable, and the suggestions coming from the beta team are starting to get small and nitpicky, which is a good sign that we’re well into the polish stage and nothing major is of concern.

Unfindable Connection is a MUGEN game brought to Dreamcast by Captain Dreamcast. This is a Dolmexica Infinite mod, which in turn is a MUGEN interpreter for Windows/Web/Dreamcast.

This week we’re having trouble pronouncing Japanese names and/or translating Japanese into English. We celebrate Panzer Dragoon Saga’s 20th anniversary by seeing how overpriced it has become on eBay, and we wonder who bought a Game Gear game at retail this year?
