Tezz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Thanks Jose, I'm working on MM everyday now again after a break for a few months and getting distracted with other things. I'm working hard on it preparing everything for the final build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Also great music Amen. Music in SAP format? Thanks goes to Miker for the music.. The idea I had early on with the music was that it builds in it's intensity as your air decreases during each level to create some further intensity. I'll make sure to include the sap with the release. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKRetrogamer Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I'm wondering whether it's worth having keyboard control at all on the Atari conversion?If it doesn't add too much work, I'd add or keep the keyboard controls. I've always found keyboard control more responsive for platformers. Especially pixel-perfect ones like Matthew Smith's classics. I'm only up the road in Bolton, so if you ever need a Beta tester...

I'm only up the road in Bolton, so if you ever need a Beta tester... yea, I'll probably include the original keyboard control too. I'm preparing a playable beta (this week hopefully) with the first few levels to get some feedback from people who know the original inside out.

high voltage Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 (edited) Urgh, the Miner 2049er rip-off on A8, looks better than on the Speccy rubbish mind you. Joystick was always a dodgy option on Spectrum, as the interface themselves were never really useful and the joystick control responses very bad.

Tezz Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 I prefer to call it Miner 2049er inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 aehm... why Miner inspired? a man running around on platforms and jumping? but where is the "painting of the floor and platforms" then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tezz Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) aehm... why Miner inspired? a man running around on platforms and jumping? but where is the "painting of the floor and platforms" then? Matthew has mentioned in several interviews that he got the idea for MM after playing Miner 2049er. Interviewed here by Iain Lee (now a Retrogamer writer amongst other things) back in 2001 for the documentary "Thumb Candy" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWmmMZlhcqU Edited August 30, 2011 by Tezz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heaven/TQA Posted August 30, 2011 Author Share Posted August 30, 2011 Matthew looks like he really stayed long in Holland... and even gets there from time to time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
high voltage Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 99% of early UK video/computer games were rip-offs of their US counterparts, that's just the way it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezz Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 It should be completed in a few weeks now as I've been working on it continuously. I'm in the process of putting the first complete build together ready to be beta tested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tezz Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 (edited) Life has been very busy for me this year and I've not had any free time for fun stuff. Next week I have to move out for some major work to be completed on the house and virtually all my possessions are packed away. A big hassle Once that's all sorted and everything is back to normal in a couple of months I'll be getting back to finish the projects which I'm eager to do. It's frustrating because I'd finished the majority of MM last year after putting some time into it and was planning to have it all finished for Christmas. Maybe if things work out time wise I can get enough time to have it ready for the expo event here in October.

Creature XL Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Awesome! Just shows that the A8 could have had some/most of teh spectrum stuff back then. Honestly, so many games filled with color clashes. Same way we have on the A8 when we use PMG to color parts. But I can't understand the hype for this game in particular. Is it just ported because its a classic? Or does playing it makes more fun then you think it does when you watch a video? Same as MJO BTW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacques Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Jose, why to paste the same video twice? I hoped for something new and it's still the video dated Aug, 20th... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
