Welcome! I’ve been researching unreleased NUON games for around a year (as of July 31, 2023) and would like to share it all with the community. Untold NUON Tales is a series of stories I am writing for each of the unreleased NUON games/developers. They will include dialogue with developers, internet research, and recovered artifacts. Of course, not all stories will have recovered artifacts to share as there will inevitably be cases where nothing survived. Stories won’t be released consistently due to the nature of this type of research, and I want these stories to be as complete as possible when I release them. Anyways, I’ll be releasing them here in the NUON Dome Helper forums. This forum thread will be used to post updates and will have links to each story so they can all be accessed from one place.

Thank you all for reading this and I hope everyone here will enjoy reading Untold NUON Tales, history as it has never been told before!

1) Untold NUON Tales: Dragon’s Lair 1+2 and Space Ace
2) Untold NUON Tales: Native II…or is it Feuerland?
3) Untold NUON Tales: Welcome to Tromaville
4) Coming soon

Update: That one thing has now been resolved. The first entry of Untold Nuon Tales will be coming out this Friday!


Thanks god, it´s Friday :cool: ;)

Hey V-SNES,

what happened:(?
Do you want to tickle our nerves?

Now already two Fridays without "Nuon Tales"!?! This is a cruel torture o_O!

Cheers,

My apologies. A reminder that the release of my stories will be inconsistent as mentioned in the original post of this thread. That being said, I mentioned a couple times somewhere else a couple months ago that I had around four projects that were far along. Two of those have had to be put on hold a few times for different reasons. It's unfortunate, but I want these stories to be complete when I release them. In the mean time, my research has been progressing and I have been meeting new people for other stories. Once I'm able to confirm which story will be the next one in the series, I'll be sure to give an update in this thread.
 
I am not giving anything away but there is great stuff going to come out with this. V-SNES is a real thorough guy!

I hope that K3V will seriously consider adding this content to the actual NUON-Dome site.
 
This thread is long overdue for an update. To start, it’s unfortunate that I was unable to release more stories after the initial two this year. Writing stories that I could consider complete has been quite a challenge for a number of reasons. Even though it has been a while since I last released a story, I can assure you all that my research has been very productive. Throughout this year, I have continued to hone my research skills, continuing to learn what does and doesn’t work, as well as discover new research techniques altogether. In addition, I have been working on quite a few stories and have made a ton of new connections this year. I do have a couple stories that should be coming out very soon. Once I confirm a couple things, I’ll be sure to update this thread with their release dates. Aside from these two, I have a number of stories that are far along but are still missing crucial information and therefore require further investigation. Furthermore, I have made 60+ word documents which contain at minimum preliminary research covering every cancelled game and alleged NUON developers. They include both internet research and contact info for anyone potentially tied to said NUON development. As such, I have built a solid foundation to build on and things should move a lot quicker next year. Overall, I am more excited than anyone to share these stories and will continue to do the best I can to make them happen. Thank you everyone for your patience and support. See you all in the New Year!
 
Thanks for keeping at it V-SNES. While I don't have the research skills you clearly do, I have a passion for reading and watching projects created by passionate researchers/historians like yourself! I look forward to seeing what you come up with.
 
I am looking forward to what is coming up. I know V-SNES has been busy interviewing alot of people and doing a huge amount of stuff behind the scenes in the NUON community. By contacting all these old NUON people that gets them back engaged and I know for a fact that the NUON is like a virus permeating lots of companies where they are closet NUON owners :) It is all going to come together and this Untold NUON Tales stuff that V-SNES has coming is just going to be what we need to get our NUON emulation! :) Go V-SNES!

  • No one is chatting at the moment.
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm now realizing I could have cut out like 99% of this print and it would have been fine cuz I just need to see if a frame will fit over an LCD
  • Varine Varine:
    Oh well
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm not an engineer
  • Varine Varine:
    Although this filament is kind of expensive, I should probably be a bit more wary of that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I love the whole concept of 3D Printers and am very happy you have one so I can hear about them
  • The Helper The Helper:
  • Varine Varine:
    I have a couple of them, but I only have room for one to be set up at the moment
  • Varine Varine:
    So I picked the biggest one. When I bought it, I didn't realize that they used a lot of proprietary parts. So, I want to use these Volcano nozzles that are really cheap and easy to find instead of what they have, which are like, modified Volcano nozzles
  • Varine Varine:
    They are just a little bit longer than the regular ones. Like, we're talking .5mm or some shit. But that little bit makes the nozzle just long enough to extrude past the rest of the hardware on the extrusion system, I can't find my notes on it but I think it's like a .25mm gap from the end of the nozzle to the bed mesh sensor. Very small.
  • Varine Varine:
    So I bought a bunch of different parts to try and figure out how to make this work, and in the process changed some of the electrical components like the thermistors, but never got around to figuring out how to make the firmware account for the different hardware. Resulting in it not interpreting the voltage change to mean that the thermistor was above temperature, so it didn't shut off the heating core and it just kept pumping heat out
  • Varine Varine:
    I have most of the stuff I need to build an enclosure so I can heat the chamber for different plastics that need to have a pretty consistent temperature through the whole model, and then I can get my other ones set up too. I have a shitty Ender but that one is super easy to modify, but it's also very outdated and kind of a nightmare to work with. I think I'm going to cannibalize it for parts and just run my big one and another little one.
  • Varine Varine:
    I think I solved my problem with digitizing reels tho!
  • Varine Varine:
    Like Super 8 reels. Actual equipment to do it is like, thousands and thousands of dollars, and the cheap ones are useless, so I'm trying to build one so I can just use the same camera I use for slides and negatives. Much cheaper
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway, it kind of works, but the take up reel is kind of tricky because you need to spin it directly to wind the tape onto it. And as it fills, you need to slow it down, and that's kind of complicated. More complicated than I wanted to try and account for, anyway.
  • Varine Varine:
    So I have the first motor that has gearing pull it from the original reel, through a set of pullies to keep some tension, and then a second motor synced with the first to guide it through the projection port so I can capture the images
  • Varine Varine:
    All that's easy enough, I just need to make sure I don't get too much force onto the film itself so I don't accidentally tear it.
  • Varine Varine:
    Then I think my solution to the take up reel is to have a kind of dancing lever on a spring in between two limit switches
  • Varine Varine:
    So, as the tape comes towards the take up reel and makes slack, that lever is pulled up by a spring to keep the tension on the film, it hits a limit switch to engage the take up reel motor at some point, and as that winds in the film, the film pushes the lever back down to a second limit switch to disengage the motor again. Slack builds up, spring pulls it back, ad infinitum
  • Varine Varine:
    Well, until the reel is empty anyway.
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm guessing it's going to be much harder than I feel like it is going to be right now, but I think it's a pretty elegant solution that doesn't rely on software to control it. The less software I need to use the better
  • Varine Varine:
    I'm just not a very good programmer, as much as I want to be I suck at it
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Programming that printer is going to be similar to programming a big machine like in a machine shop. There is good money in programming CNC machines.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    +1
  • Varine Varine:
    They are pretty similar, but this one is much less involved than a real CNC. A lot less moving parts
