Hey everyone! Retro nerve are crowdfunding their game Kung-Fu Ufo: /5053306#/The game it self looks really great but there is also a stretch goal for a SNES compiler for Second Basic. How cool would that be? Attachments:

on Sega16 Forum one of the devs (tacha) commented on the price:
"On the price of the perks... We can't compete with giant AAA developers and publishers, we are charging as low as we can in order to be able to complete the development and we are reaching out to fans and devs like us who know how hard it is to make this kind of games. Also the shipping cost is included in the $70, something that we thought people would really appreciate since that puts the cost of the cart lower than other similar games that have been released lately."
I get their point, producing cartridge,art and manual + shipping is not cheap at all.
you will also get a steam code for the game even for the lowest backing option.

There is an update at kung fu ufo's indiegogo.. apparently everybody who help them will get a steam key for PC (and/or MAC) copy of the game. So, I presume that for $10 people will get a steam copy.
"Important update:
We have great news to all of you people. We received some help recently and now we are able to add the Steam port for PC and Mac to our original goal.
That means that all of our backers will receive a steam Key for Kung-Fu UFO on top of the other rewards once the game releases on this platform.
Now people can get a copy of our game for $10. We believe that this adds a lot of value to all of our perks and it will motivate more backers to support our project.
That also allows us to lower our stretch goals as well."

Shipping is coming from their manufacturer in the USA, and to ship anything outside of the USA starts at $14 (usually $16+ for most areas) and goes up to $23.50, just for a single game. |

Adjusting for inflation, that's cheaper than Genesis games were back in the early 90s new. You could expect to pay $50-70 for a game, which is $93-131 in 2018 dollars. Producing cartridges is an expensive business, I'm surprised they got it that cheap, especially in low volume production. |
