+cmart604 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Happy to see nonner doing the artwork but I can't help but see the irony in that the first thing I think of when it comes to nonner is his stated LOVE OF BOXES. Seriously, check his sig. You're doing artwork for a GAME THAT DOESN'T HAVE A BOX!!! :-D :-D Come one, you got to have some pull with your boss, you can talk him into it! Just sayin.

nonner242 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thank you Cmart! Im glad that Mr Gbee ask me to help. Hope you enjoy the finished game. I really dont understand what you are saying about my sig. It clearly states " I HATE Boxes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! " So this project is perfect for me. You must be getting me confused with someone who is really cool and has time a patience to do boxes. Be happy your getting a end lable for the cart! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 I'm not worried about the end label, Rev and I each have our own silver crayon and I'll be adding my own design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonner242 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 That's how I started out waaaay back! Maybe somewhere down the road a offical printable version "may" come out. As it stands their are no plans for one. Priorities are toward cooler things. Who needs boxes when the games should never leave the system...right!?!

GroovyBee Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 I've been asked a few times if the game will still be available after the pre-order finishes. I'd just like to clarify that I have no plans to produce any more Rocketeer carts after the cut off date. The idea behind the pre-order was to gauge interest, make the carts to meet the demand and then move onto the next project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Nonner's new title page is nearly converted to code. Just some MOBs (sprites) to program and then we can use up the remaining cards (tiles) to add a bit more detail/colour. Some other graphics for the game's high score page are also done so they'll be converted over next. I was hoping to show some new screenshots tonight but that will have to wait until the attract sequence is complete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Screenshots! Screenshots! Screenshots! Screenshots! At least you aren't asking for a box . Hopefully there will be some new screenshots tonight and maybe a "gifeo" as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half of those "Screenshots!" shouts were for a picture of the box. See, the chant was multiplexed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Seriously, I'm excited to see the Nonner's new title screen and the attract sequence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 The game's attract sequence is taking longer than I thought. The new title page is finally done (unless Nonner changes his mind ) and I'm still coding/adapting the new graphics for the high score league table. Converting the title page was kinda fun. The only other time I've done a bitmap conversion like that on the Inty was for the Funbags ROM. The Inty's 64 programmable 8x8 BACKTAB cards and 8 MOBs seems like plenty of resource until you have to make a complex picture out of them. Luckily the Inty has a selection of predefined cards (of blocks, lines and odd shapes) in its ROM which I've managed to make good use of. There will definitely be some new screenshots tomorrow and I know what one of them will put a smile on a few peoples faces . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Wonder what "bacon" means? I dont think the aliens eat meat.Hmmm ponies sound cool tho. You're new here. Bacon is the official currency of the Intellivision community. It is the ultimate survival tool. Bacon is just like The Force: it has a light side and a dark and crispy side, and it binds the universe together. By the way, welcome! Now, have some bacon!
