It’s crazy how bad they are at communicating, like show people the final cart running or share the video of it being manufactured in China to let those who backed it know it’s still coming.
I would consider this a dead project until you are literally playing the game on your genesis.
No matter how many parties, twitter posts, or second and third hand accounts of the game you see.

I wonder if this will take on a life of its own like polybius or an uncle who works at Nintendo. I knew someone who knew someone who was able to play Paprium.

Haha, exact thing I was thinking reading that tweet.
I’ve lived in three places since I preordered Paprium
Oof, me too I think.
I just received an email:
Dear °°°,
Merci pour votre patience.
Notre site est bientôt de retour.
Vous avez été présent à la soirée des 30 ans de la Mega Drive en 2018 à Paris. Merci d’être venu!
Comme promis, je peux dédicacer un de vos exemplaires.La dédicace (sauf autre requête), sera sur la couverture du jeu. Autres possibilités: dans la boite, sur le blister, sur le carton d’expédition… message. Note: Je vais devoir “casser” certains autocollants. Si vous avez plusieurs exemplaires du jeu commandés, merci de spécifier celui que je dois signer.
Au moment d’expédier votre précommande, renseignez l’information dans le champ “Note pour le staff”.
Réaction a froid:
Certains d’entre vous ont été frustrés par le manque de prise de parole ou de temps pour discuter, ou l’impossibilité de récupérer son jeu sur place. Effectivement, j’étais très fatigué. Les jours précédents et suivants étaient une course pour avoir les financements pour une sortie du jeu avant Noël, qui, comme vous vous imaginez, tient plus d’un marathon de 3 ans. Je n’ai pas eu l’occasion de remercier les personnes présentes, certains venaient de loin. Merci encore et j’espère qu’au moins la bière était bonne.PS: Il semblerait que ce fut LA grosse soirée à l’occasion des 30 ans de la MD, aucun regrets!
Thank you for your patience,
Our website will be back online shortly.
You have attended to the 2018 MD’s 30th anniversary party in Paris.
As promised long time ago, I’ll sign your copy.Signature (unless other wishes) will be made on the game’s cover. Other possibility: inside the game box, on the blister, on shipping carton box… Note: I may have to break some sticker seals. If you have multiple copies of the games ordered, please specify which one I should sign.
At the time of checking-out your preorders, please write in the “Note to staff” field your wishes.
As a afterthough:
Many people may have felt frustrated due to lack of speech or lack of time to discuss. I was just very tired. The previous and following days were a race in China to secure funds for a Xmas release, which, may you imagine, ended fruitless. I didn’t have time to thank anyone for their presence, some came from far away. Thanks again to everyone and I hope at least the beer was good.PS: It seems it was THE major party worldwide for the MD’s 30th anniversary, no regret.
Best Regards
WATERMELON TEAM

NO REGERTS
Also:
The release is announced, “leaked” via an internal document uploaded to the website.
It’s another attempt to build hype that will amount to nothing. It happened before.

Yeah, I just got an email and that surprised the fuck outta me.
You and me both mate
Saw a few people posting about this on twitter - like others I had written this off. I wouldn’t mind purchasing a ROM but it doesn’t seem like they’re releasing one. Will the cart have custom hardware?
Yeah it has some kind of extra chip in it that outputs custom sound.
Ha… that’s actually kinda cool
Yes, I got 3 emails about it today. Game and a comic or something.
I confirmed my order. Apparently it is now in the packing stage.
Wow… fingers crossed this actually happens.
