+atari2600land Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 The head chef at the Chew 'n' Spew Diner has gone crazy! He climbed to the ceiling and started throwing stuff at you! He insists that you catch the items he throws in sets. Once you get all four items, then you move on to the next set. But don't get two like things, else the game ends. This game started as a Kaboom! clone but quickly grew into something else. It also has elements of Pressure Cooker. Try it out and let me know your thoughts on it. I have about 500 bytes left to make changes. cc5.bin 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted October 25, 2014 Author Share Posted October 25, 2014 New version! I have decided to change some things. Let me know if I broke anything in the process. cc6.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Am I done? I need some suggestions on what to do next with this game, people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triverse Posted November 14, 2014 Share Posted November 14, 2014 I just posted an article about Chief Chef on my site, Retro Gaming Magazine. This weekend I plan on doing a video and possibly a review of your game. Thanks for making it available!http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2014/11/13/new-game-chief-chef-odyssey-2-released-free/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Chris: As for suggestions - The speed of the items dropping changed once on level 3. Can you change it so the speed increase is not so dramatic... maybe just a little faster on a gradual increase? Triverse: this is not the final release candidate. Chris (atari2600land) and I have been releasing his games on cartridge format with a box, manual, and label. This one will sell for $25 and will be released in 2015. More to come! thank you, Tim Edited November 15, 2014 by timdu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More to come! thank you, Tim Thanks for the update on the release of Chief Chef. Once it is available for purchase, I will make a new article available detailing its release. Any coverage I do till then will denote the fact that this is a public beta of the game and reference the future purchase availability.

+atari2600land Posted February 7, 2015 Author Share Posted February 7, 2015 Not available yet, I'm still working on the game. Have a look at the latest binary and tell me what you think. More info on the game can be found here: http://www.atari2600land.com/chiefchef/ cc8.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+nurmix Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Great timing! I've got an O2 multi-cart on the way, so once it arrives I will see how this plays on real hardware. Do you test that way, or do you develop/test through emulation? By the way, I do a monthly Intellivision Podcast (The Intellivisionaries), but we frequently discuss Odyssey 2 related news items, as I'm a big fan (I have my sarcastic and condescending O2 make comments in most of the episodes - via "Type And Tell"), so we'll mention your game in an upcoming episode.

+atari2600land Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 I test both ways. Through an emulator until I get it perfect, and then hope it works on real hardware (because emulators and hardware are different when it comes to the Odyssey 2.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Atari2600land and I are planning to release CHIEF CHEF on cartridge for the Odyssey2 very soon. We are currently looking for some play testers to give us some feedback and look for any bugs in the game.Attached below is the current binary ROM file. (CC8.bin) Please let us know what you think. An Odyssey2 emulator is available for most O.S.'s... if you have questions please let me know.THE GAME:In the game, you are the apprentice chef at the Chew 'n' Spew Restaurant. (Kristen appears at the bottom of the screen.)The Chief Chef ( Chuck Chesterfield ) has gone crazy and has climbed up to the ceiling and has started to throw food at you! The only catch is he demands that you get all four items he throws and avoid the duplicates! Once you have caught a complete set of four items, you start again at a faster level. But how are your food catching skills? Are they enough to impress the Chief Chef?SCORING:1 point for every successful item caught: 1 for the onion1 for the slice of cheese1 for the tomato1 for the lettuce head and then when the fourth item is completed, a little sound plays , 10 points are awarded ( for getting all 4 items)and the player then begins the next level where it is a tad faster. please let me know if you have questions,thanksTim D.

+LS650 Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 (edited) I just spent 20 minutes playing this cc8 version, and have posted these comments over on videopac.nl: - The graphics look pretty good. No complaints there. I like the characters.- The game needs more sound. Most of the time, as you are moving left and right, the veggies are dropping but you have to let most of them hit the floor as they're duplicates. How about adding a 'SPLAT' sound when you deliberately miss catching the food?- The first couple of salads or whatever are slow-paced. That's good. However, there seems to be quite a jump in speed after the first couple of sets are completed. Is there a way to pace it out smoother?

timdu Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 OK - a sound has been added when an unwanted food item is avoided ... a good suggestion!The latest binary ROM file is below. ( CC9.BIN )As for the speed increase between levels, we need some help.Can you fellow programmers please take a look at the code for the game (below) and see if there is a betterway to gradually increase the speed of the game on each new level? cpu 8048 eggcaught equ 037h lettucecaught equ 038h cheesecaught equ 03ah drop_speed equ 026h bomb1x equ 030h dropfirstbomb equ 031h newx equ 032h itemtype equ 033h animtimer equ 034h tomatocaught equ 036h score_l equ 023h score_h equ 024h highscore_l equ 022h highscore_h equ 027h quad0 equ 040h quad1 equ 050h quad2 equ 060h quad3 equ 070h org 400h include "g7000.h" include "bitfuncs.inc" jmp myinit ;

+LS650 Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I tried CC9. I like the 'plonk' of the missed veggies. I'm not so sure I'm keen on the squawking sounds as the chef shuffles left-right though... I'd leave out the shuffling, and instead have a quiet 'ping' as the top chef throws the food down. Then have a 'plonk' when the veggies is missed, or a happy sound when the correct veggie is caught. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timdu Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 I personally like the sound of the "shuffling" when you move from left - right etc. Kind of reminds me of the Hanna-Barbara FLINTSTONES cartroons when Fred Flintstone or Barney is scrambling to move. Maybe the volume on the "shuffling" could be a little more quieter though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
