Happy new run!

Greetings,

Some people are still waiting for their packages from China - may the force be with you!

Due to massive demand, WaterMelon won't wait and has decided to produce another run of their instant hit Mega Drive/Genesis RPG Pier Solar and the Great Architects. It's named ”reprint edition" and here is everything you need to know about it:

*The game is exactly the same as the original versions. Languages included are: English, French and German.
*The box is a original clamshell case similar to those used back in the day. The design is an homage to the "black grid" layout.
*The manual, in English, comes in b/w and is shaped in the pure 16-bit tradition.
*An awesome sticker sheet is included, so you may have the chance to win our contest if you order quickly (please see on our homepage: http://www.piersolar.com/).
*The price is US$45, including shipping and handling to anywhere in the world! You can buy it now. Payment is made with PayPal only. We shall be able to start shipping this ”reprint edition" within next 45 days!

Side note: No disc? Yes, the game won't include the Enhanced Soundtrack Disc but will be compatible with it. Here is the download link to burn your own disc if you want to use it with the game:

Happy new year!

Pier Solar is shipped

Hello friends!

After 6 years in the making, endless improvements and nameless efforts by all members of this project, it finally happened!

It wasn't without much sweat, days, nights and holidays spent. Countless discussions some arguments and for sure absolutely lots of passion that it was possible.

Many thanks to all people involved! And even more thanks to all customers who pre-ordered this game since 2 years ago, putting your faith on our team, I have not enough words to thank you.

Keep tuned on our website (www.piersolar.com) for news on this project. The game has shipped but the story has just begun.

Best regards,
-Tulio Adriano

Did someone say something about a release date?

Well as you may have seen over on our FaceBook page something is indeed stirring!

It seems Pier Solar won't have an "official" release date; instead it'll be left to one of you folk to shout up and spread the joyous news when you receive your copy in the post...

When will shipping actually start? This is still surrounded in mystery but it'll be soon I know that much!

I guess this new entry answers all the emails I keep receiving that ask "When is the release date?"

Ta Ta for Now!

A one off to get you in the mood

Hi Folks,
It's been some considerable time since I posted anything on the blog! As most of you will know by now the game has reached the Packing stage.

I just wanted to wet your appetite a bit and leak a PCM track that i've had on my computer for a while :-) I'm not even entirely sure this is the final mix... but hey it'll get you in the mood :D

Fonz will slap my wrists later no doubt ;-)



TTFN,
