Hello
can we post here the name/contact of all the coleco developers?
I need to get in contact for proposing new projects :-)

[Pixelboy]

You mean the current homebrew ColecoVision developers? No offense, but be prepared to hear the words "not interested" a lot... CV homebrew developers have their own to-do list, and they extremely rarely take outside suggestions seriously. Which is no different from the Atari 2600 homebrew scene, as I understand it...

seems so... but asking is not painful :-)

There is a list. If you put some effort into looking around these parts, and following some links you see, you'll find it.

You can always post your ideas here, they will see them

But like Pixelboy said, they are mostly hands full with current projects

Following is a link to a GREAT ColecoVision website by AtariAge member "ten-four" with a lengthy list of CV Homebrewers... although some of them are no longer involved in the scene.

As a programmer I can say unless you're paying a decent amount of money no one is going to be interested. Ideas are basically worthless since the person doing the bulk of the work (i.e., the programmer) generally already has a billion ideas for games that they can draw from, so unless you're paying them it's just never going to be worth their time. Really the only way is to learn to program and just do your idea yourself, unfortunately.

Agree with kingofcrusher, except for the "unfortunately" bit. Getting there is half the fun!

I propose 10$ per copy sold of a game to developer providing a final rom of any interesting game of his choice

there are quite a lot of good coleco games to be ported to intv, who want to do this will get 10$ per copy distributed

we increased to maximum to push people :-)

Ghost'n Zombie would be in my opinion a super hit for Intv
