Time To Live News

Time To Live box edition is coming soon!

Here is WTFMAN, a creator of anachronistic games.

My ultimate goal is to make a big box game. I've been thinking more about it, and CD-ROMs just aren't enough... A true retro game should be on a diskette.

Not many people remember diskettes anymore, so let me explain. Diskettes are palm-sized plastic storage devices used in the distant past. Their capacity varied depending on the model, but a 3.5” diskette could hold 1.44MB—enough for its time.



I happen to have quite a few 5.25” blank diskettes. 5.25” can hold 1.2MB. Time To Live is 207 MB, which means can fit the entire game on 173 diskettes. Currently, there are no official distributors of 5.25” diskettes, so if you buy them second-hand, you can get them for about 20 to 50,000 won(KRW) for 10 pieces, but if we assume a median price of 30,000 won, that's a total of 540,000 won. After calculating the cost of packaging and other accessories, I'm going to price Time To Live at 600,000 won(about 406$).

Then I have to copy the files to diskettes and test all the diskettes to make sure they work, so I'll talk more about that on April 1, 2026.

That's all folks!
