Back in 2014 I wanted to publish a game under the RVG name, this never happened for various reasons but its been something I have wanted to do, fast forward to 2019, RVG will publish there first game under the name Bitmap Soft.

The publishing will be run by me and Greyfox, we aim to start small, games for the Amstrad CPC 464, the C64 and so on but there could be bigger ones, I am hoping to release RVG BLAST as a digital download as well, just want to work on that game a little more, my aim will be to release that game as physical release but at a very limited run.

This area is only viewable to a select audience, those we are happy to know about this project and those we know create games and therefore may want to work with us.

Your thoughts are most welcome.

With everything ironed out in time, we plan to offer unprecedented services to those wanting to publish their own software or apps that fall within Bitmap Soft's criteria and process, things are getting to pace fast, we also plan to create many inventive incentives for those that wish to join us in making harmonious collaboration in development of their and our IP.

Very cool!  I think this is something that will make RVG more visible as well.

Itch.io might be a good free way to offer a digital download of RVG Blast.

If you just want games that can be run from the web browser Javatari is very cool.  The only drawback being anyone can download the ROM pointed at in the URL without paying.

Would you be ok for us to release the rom then?

Would like to do it as part of the launch of bitmapsoft.co.uk

That would be very cool!  If you could credit me (Jason Santuci) for the game development and provide a link to my company that would be enough.  I recently started the web page over but the URL is working :)  http://gemintronic.com/

Feel free to use both the original game and the one I sent after Hozer couldn't physically manufacture the first.

Basically, we develop, manufacture and publish games for classic systems.  Mostly to get our games out into retro enthusiasts hands.  Also, to get published on Microsoft and Nintendo's storefront you need a company and a domain :)

I self published Upp and Upp Plus for the Atari 2600.  Was contracted out for Super Trash Truck (2600) by Saidai Games.  I developed and manufactured War in the Machine (Genesis) for Good Deal Games.  Also, manufactured Mega Pong (Genesis) for them.
