Game developer for MS-DOS raised $ 113,000 for his project

The developer of the game Planet X3, which is the sequel to Planet X2 (unexpectedly), successfully financed the project using the Kickstarter site. The goal of David Murray was a much smaller amount – only $ 30,000, but there were many who wanted to support the strategy and as a result the amount already exceeded 113,000. By the way, Planet X2, released the year last, was also intended for Commodore 64.

David Murray financed the development of Planet X2 by himself, selling 800 copies of the game against 500 planned. The sequel has already released a lot more preorders

The programmer could not explain if something different for the development of games for the old OS differs from the modern ones – he never did. "Programming under MS-DOS – forgotten art", explains Murray.

Planet X3 will be sold in digital form and on diskette (3.5 and 5.25 inches). This, by the way, is one of the problems – to contain the content in a very limited space. In addition, the headache was the issue of VGA graphics support, which requires more space and is incredibly demanding on the amount of video memory.
