Gamescom 2020 (Digital only)

[TeDaDeS]

This week Gamescom 2020 would have started in Köln (Germany), but due to Covid-19 the physical event has been cancelled. So no pics of ED's booth this year.

But good news is that the event will be completely digital this year, so everyone that has time to be online can visit. It should be free and an optional account can be created to track/tag events: https://now.gamescom.global/registration/
There will be two time-schedules: US-based and German-based.

In the US it will start on Thursday 27th of August at 19:30 (7:30pm CEST). The Germany program will be short and starts at 22:00.
The German full program will start on Friday 28th of August at 14:00. The US version will start at 18:00 (6pm CEST).

@EvilDragon already mentioned he will have an online part. However I'm unaware which day/time this will be.
ED: "I have two time slots of 1 hour each. In one, I will talk about new games for retro systems and their production and on the other one I will talk about about new hardware for retro stuff (controllers, switchers, HDMI cables, etc.)".
I can also imagine there are other streams next to the official program, those aren't mentioned on the program below.

Meh, I'll wait to see what's announced.

@EvilDragon already mentioned he will have an online part presenting the Pyra. However I'm unaware which day/time this will be.

Ummm... I didn't. I'll have two time slots of 1 hour each. In one, I will talk about new games for retro systems and their production and on the other one I will talk about about new hardware for retro stuff (controllers, switchers, HDMI cables, etc.)
I didn't plan anything about the Pyra there.

No talk about Pyra ?
I thought this may be opportunity for some publicity or announcement of Pyra launch.

 

[matzesu]

Shure it may be some publicity, but on the other side whe have still the last hurdle to do whit the Mass Assembly, if this ditnt work that good, its dosnt make sense to make to much pr now..

The next Gamescom may be a better oportunity for the Pyra as then its software may be much more mature..

 

[docbroke]

That is also true.
We used to say, शुभम् च शीघ्रम् । ्(something like "quicker the better" )

 

[PowerGod]

Only the ones that searches for illumination will know about the Pyra

I assumed the retro part would include the Pyra part to.

Do you know when you'll have your 1 hour time slot so we can tune-in at that time?

 

[EvilDragon]

Pyra won't make sense before we delivered at least 500 units Then we can try to pull in more buyers

I'm still checking about the time slots. I noticed that the organisator put me into the timetable on the wrong day, and the slot I originally booked is gone now.
I hope he'll be able to fix that, as I definitely won't have time on Saturday.

Hihi, that was also one thing i thought about this logo, im currently reading though the whole Dan Brown Robert Langdon Novels, but these Firestamps where also readeble from booth sides ^^, quite entertaining books if you dont see the conspirations theories in them as historical correct..

Wow, that soon? You'll only have to satisfy less than half of the preorders to fulfil that requirement.

 

[matzesu]

Will there be a way to see the Dragonbox Stream Slots after they where live as out of a "Thincan" (aufzeichnung aus der Konserve ") ?? For peaple who maybe cant find the time to watch live?

 

[EvilDragon]

You can see the Retro-Stream here, including Discord-Livechat:
https://now.gamescom.de/area/retro.html

We will be there today 3pm - 4pm and Sunday 4pm - 5pm.

You can ask questions there live - but it's all in German

 

[matzesu]

Im today from 3 pm to 6 pm at work, sadly, but if this is like twitch, i hope there will be a way to watch it this evening, but whitout live chat..

 

[Askarus]

Batches of 500 were planned.
We're producing a batch of 300 next week if everything goes well.

@EvilDragon, I assume those who were early on the pre-pre-order should hear something soon to finish the payment process?

 

[EvilDragon]

Ahh, no.
We're STARTING assembly next week. Most likely only the display lids.
It will still be a few weeks until we start shipping.

 

[PowerGod]

@EvilDragon is always like this... he never wants our money !!

 

[Askarus]

Ah, only the Lids.
I got it wrong then.
My bad.
Starting and finishing was the same in my mind

@matzesu
At least Lid 28 should be produced then
