[It's over.]

You haven't offended anyone, so suck it up princess and keep trying

[Building a game in public]

Wouldn't be surprised. Ah well, getting there.

[Make yer mind up, will ya?]

Head to head death match (Kombateroids!) is pretty much done, and it won't take long to get Co-Operoids mode working, either

 

*Still awaiting testing on real H/W - fingers crossed it works!

[Make yer mind up, will ya?]

But if we did, they'd work like this LOL. It's not like any of us can be trusted hehehehe.

[eJagFest and last minute coding!]

Rebooteroids_eJagFest2012.rom is away!

[eJagFest and last minute coding!]

6 fps or go home.

 

Oops, I forgot a zero there

[My God, Its Full of Stars!]

And the bonus round is in. Progress!

[My God, Its Full of Stars!]

I was thinking a giant outlined hand holding a blue floppy disk

[My God, Its Full of Stars!]

Original menu re-attached to game. Replacement menu amputated. The operation was a complete success. The patient will live.

[My God, Its Full of Stars!]

And everyone is invited!

[Allo, allo, allo, whats all this then?]

Considering that took 2 hours to upload on ghetto Australian internetz, yes

[Allo, allo, allo, whats all this then?]

Actually, this is where RaptoR was born. More info here: http://reboot.atari.org/new-reboot/rebooteroids.html

 

No vectors were harmed during the production of this game (It's all sprites!)

[When is Easter, anyway?]

Just imagine there's a wall at the right edge of the screen that the kitty's smash into

 

[GRAPHIC HORROR CENSORED BY THE BORDER!!!! LOL]

[Rebooteroids Returns]

Added a replacement titlescreen (not as good as the one from the preview, but functional).

 

Fixed up the UFOs so then now fly and shoot properly.

 

Added skill level ramping as you progress.

 

And then lost most of the afternoon 'playtesting' it. This is FUN!

[Rebooteroids Returns]

You know you can't make friends with salad :-)

 

Bankowanego!

[What's been going on?]

We're preparing to release Kobayashi Maru on CD - this will be a pressed CD, so no CDRs!

 

Rebooteroids will also now most likely be a CD-ROM based game, but the way it is being reconfigured, it could just as easily be a cart game as well (without the music, obviously) - It's been 'on hold' for several months due to not having a viable cart available to use, so we only recently made this decision. It needs some work to re-jig everything, but at least it is now progressing.

 

HMS RaptoR and the other new Raptor demo I'm working on at the moment will be binary download only, and freely available. The *full* source code and assets will be made available when we go public with the Raptor library in the future. They are, after all, examples

 

The new 'larger-scale' project will be CD only. A demo will be made available to download, but not the complete game (at least, not initially - in the future, if/when we hit 'break even point' on the production costs we may put a CD image up for free download) We've 'sneak previewed' it to a few people, with a very positive response, so we're really looking forward to working on this one.

[Collaboration]

RAPTOR v1.1 released to the testing team! whoohooo!

[Collaboration]

Update: 2 hours later, and its 100% GPU based

[Run, it's a RAPTOR!]

Hey, glad you like it

 

We've got more coming soon - a v1.1 of KM, and RAPTOR development is picking up with extra devs working on it. We're utterly overjoyed to see other people asking about it, and more importantly, using it to make things!

 

The Jaguar is truly a wonderful piece of hardware to play with and is completely suited to 2D action games. Once we fully open-source RAPTOR the pain of leveraging the custom RISC chips will be removed and hopefully we'll see lots of people making games for it.

 

I guarantee you that the first non-Reboot RAPTOR title to be released will have us all grinning from ear to ear and I personally, can't wait to see what people will make.

 

Busy and happy times ahead! Long live the Jaguar! Push the button!

[BETAs are the Future of the Jaguar!]

I just wish I could make it to one of these events in person. That damn silly equator is in the way

[bye bye digital audio]

I feel your pain. And so do Tom and Jerry.

[Regarding Rotary Controllers]

No, but the slider movement updates in "real time" as you adjust it, so it's pretty simple to set it up

[Regarding Rotary Controllers]

If anyone making spinners would like to send us one on a permanent or loan basis, we will of course be happy to test it and see if it is possible to incorporate into the game.

[Outlining the ups and downs]

Ok, We'll call one the Shark Laser - just for you.

[Outlining the ups and downs]

And now we have lasers!!! Frickin' lasers. Just need sharks now.

 

Quite pleased with today, we got new weapon modes
