The Story

Hello, I’ve been gaming for years both on console and PC. Lately I’ve started to feel that current console developers Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo no longer prioritise the player choosing profit at the expense of the players experience. It is because of this why I want to develop a new next generation console that will give players the experience they deserve and as a fellow gamer who understands the needs of the gaming community I believe I can deliver a console that goes beyond this.

By reaching my goal I would be able to develop an affordable console that delivers an immersive experience. It will provide games at affordable pricing as lately games have gotten too expensive. It will push local split-screen multiplayer as this option has been lately been put aside.

I need to raise funds so that I can research and develop the initial console and the hardware/software that it will need. It is important that this takes place as we are at the cusp of great change within the gaming community with Google Stadia possibly taking the gaming community in the wrong direction. They plan to take the freedom, control and creativity away from the player. If not successful the funds will be returned to donors. And when the console is complete and developed those who donated £50 or more will receive a free console and free game to get them started. I am asking for help in this venture as I am unable to gather the funds on by myself but strongly believe this needs to be done.

It’s great when people can help donate. But if you can’t donate at this time, it doesn’t mean that you can’t help. You can follow the journey at our social media page on Instagram.
