MIDNIGHT PUBLISHED?

I see in the front page that Midnight has released the Midnight Synergy Games Collection... I am looking at the picture and what I want to know is:

1. Did he self publish? It looks like a very professional mock up job if not... Dish Midnight dish???

2. Which games were in B3D and what were the others in?

Describe the publication or at least explain the pics... If this is self published explain the costs including how the mock up was created... If not give us a little more detail on HOW you published this Icon of B3Dness!!!

Yes... but that says nada baout HOW he published this set... Or did I miss the link (as usual!)

What do you mean by 'published'? He's just had some CD's professionally burnt and had a manual printed, hasn't he? I don't think he's selling in retail outlets, or anything.

I could be mistaken, but doesn't BMT offer this service?

Thats what I meant... where??? BMT??? Actually BMT is the premiere Sub at Subway Sandwich Shops here in the USA...

What/who is this BMT? There must be a thousand companies out there that can do this stuff.

BMT Micro Inc to give them their full title, is the payment processing outfit Midnight Synergy uses to handle their sales.

I believe most of the payment processing companies offer some sort of 'CD + custom packaging' service, amongst other things.


I assumed that practically everyone here knew about BMT, Plimus etc...Do a forum search.

[edit]
On second thoughts, do a search on the indiegamer forums, there's tons of useful info about this kinda stuff.

Ah, I didn't know that.

Just noticed this post now.

Yup, we put the CD together, used Effectuality.ca for our CD/Box/Manual printing, and are using BMT Micro to sell/ship it through our online order page.

Games written in Blitz3D: Wonderland, Return To Wonderland Platinum, Secret Worlds, and Frazzled
Games written in C/C++: Intensity, ReCharge, Colony

Hope that helps answer your questions. So no, this one isn't available in stores - although we've published some of our games individually in retail before.
