    Deep Space [ ATARI 2600 ] - WIP
    Design and Programming: Leandro Camara
    Year of development: 2020


    Hi everyone!
    For those who haven't seen my new game for the ATARI 2600, the link is right below.

    If the ship appears incomplete on the screen, adjust the viewing quality on YouTube to (720p60) to view the 60 frames per second that Atari provides.

    The game is still under construction (WIP) and it is always good to know your opinion.
    Hope you like it!
    Thanks!
    Leandro Camara

    __________________________________________

     

    Some people saw the video on YouTube and asked me how certain things work in the game, so I made this little explanation below.
    If anyone wants to see more details about the game, James O'Brien played Deep Space on ZeroPage Homebrew channel on the August 21, 2020 show (link below).

     

    The game has 16kBytes and does not use any kind of extra resources (DPC+ or similar), it runs on regular cartridges.
    Controller: Joystick 1 or Joystick 2 (Arcade Mode or for left-handed) or Paddles buttons.

     

    [ Screen 1 ] Spaceship Computer Functions
    Manual shooting / Automatic shooting
    Galaxy Scanner / Galaxy View
    Place the ship in the chosen Orbit
    Choose one of the 3 Stages of the Orbit

     

    [ Screen 2 ] Enemy Attack (3 Stages)
    4 different enemies with 3 firing speeds: Slow / Normal / Fast
    The enemy Prism/Diamond has a shield, however it doesn't go down to the bottom of the screen to destroy you.
    The other enemies down to the bottom of the screen and hit your spaceship.


    The Status Bar shows the battle duration in each Stage.

     

    You have for the mission 1 spaceship with 6 Energy Batteries.
    The number of batteries directly interferes with the ship's fire power.
    Fast Shot / Medium shot / Slow Shot (and loss of reference bar of remaining stage time).

     

    Each time the ship is hit, a battery is lost, and this turns off the ship's rockets, commands and weapons.

     

    [ Screen 3 ] Meteor Area
    Recharge the spaceship's energy batteries.
    The colors of the Probe determine the amount of recharge supplements: Many / Normal / Few.
    Meteors come in different directions and speeds according to each Stage and Orbit.

     

    [ Screen 4 ] Mothership
    You have 1 minute to hit the Mothership 50 times at its weak points (Radars, Cannons and/or Engine).
    Each time you hit one of the weak points (each with a different score) the Mothership flashes indicating that you hit the target.

     

    Mothership Weapons:
    Normal shooting and Torpedoes or Aerial Mines.
    Fast shooting and Torpedoes or Aerial Mines.

     

    There's a total of 4 Motherships in the game.

     

    [ Screen 5 ] Catch Star / Mothership Destroyed
    Capture as many stars as possible without allowing them to escape into space.

     

    PS: Sorry for my English, I used Google Translator to help me.

    THIS FRIDAY ZeroPage Homebrew has the EXCLUSIVE WORLD PREMIERE of Leandro Camara's (@HSW3ET) new Atari 2600 homebrew Deep Space! 

     

    You may know Leandro's previous 2600 games A New Maurader and Rally Racer released through More Work Games and now he's back with a brand new homebrew that takes us back into the (space) battle!

     

    "On board of the NIX 2-6 Spaceship you have been informed that four Motherships are transporting stellar matters from the mines of a near planet. Your mission is to intercept the Motherships and recover the content, but before you need to browse the four orbits where each Mothership is and face the challenges of DEEP SPACE."

     

    We'll be debuting DEEP SPACE this Friday on ZeroPage Homebrew's Twitch livestream at 12PM PT | 3PM ET | 7PM GMT, make sure you tune in!

    Hi guys!

     

    [ Sorry for my English (I used Google Translation to help me) ]

     

    First of all, I'm sorry for the discomfort you're going through.
    I didn't really imagine that the Rally Racer would have this reach to create this situation.

     

    My intention was the best possible, in my point of view, to divulge the award, the ZeroPage Homebrew channel and Brian Matherne's work with the book (* below, you can see the post that I made on the More Work page on Facebook and shared groups of Atari fans).

     

    I never asked for new accounts or fake accounts at any time ... or posted with the intention of influence the voting.
    I made it with the intention of other people to know the games that are currently being produced and released by you.

     

    Many Brazilians did'nt know about your work yet and they are happy to be able to participate by voting in the award (and who knows, in the future, even here in the AtariAge forum).
    What you may not have realized, I think, it is that there are many video game collectors in Brazil. And that may have influenced the number of accesses on AtariAge.
    Atari was a VERY popular video game in the 80's in Brazil (as some old collectors here in AA know very well and buy in the Brazilian market), and, at the moment that I mentioned the event, a lot of people showed interest in learning about new productions for the Atari 2600 and they wanted to encourage by voting.

     

    Well, it's your party and do what you think is fair. If you think you need to remove Rally Racer from the awards... the event belongs to the committee.

     

    Lastly, good luck to everyone at the awards, everyone deserves it for their efforts in developing for Atari.
    Thomas Jentzch... your games are incredible and inspiring for people (including in Brazil). Thanks!
