So, Dottie Flowers has just been released for free, it's a homebrew SNES run-and-gun platformer.

The creator was originally only going to make 100 physical copies, and instead of selling them require that you send him a postcard (that you only got the address to if you beat the demo) and if he liked it he would mail you back a copy... what the fuck was he smoking? ... but has "changed his mind" and released it for free... or so he claims.

Honestly, I would be surprised if he wasn't always planning to just release it after that postcard stunt as a download anyway since why the hell would you spend thousands to develop a game and only let 100 random people ever play it? Wasn't expecting him to just release it for free though, the 100 carts were free but I assumed it was a promotional stunt to then sell it digitally.

Can't say I know who that is, no. This guy is apparently German, and has made other SNES games he released for free before, including apparently a previous Dottie game that was made for a SNES game jam? As well as what appears to be basically a SNES homebrew version of Overcooked.

Oh, that shit. Didn't remember that guy was french, probably memory holed it because of all the bullshit surrounding it, and the project to hack it going silent.

If I loved a game I made I would only want to share it with people who cared enough to send a postcard too. Fuck greedy romdumpers, fuck greedy devs, fuck romjockeys who play it once on zsnes say its 'ok' then go back to speedrunning mario world.
