so_tough!

true! Kathy Bates is a brilliant actress.

(And can someone tell me how to post YouTube videos on this forum? I tried on another thread, but it didn't work.) Just copy and paste the address in here.. (oh you got it, well ......) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zfWQLLLVl8&feature=related

Ok I have to agree with so_tough on this one. This game looks like a good start but not a finished game. With alittle more coding and some better sprites this could be a great shooter. But as it is now it seems unfinished to me. It's nice to see people developing for jag but why not keep working on a game till it is finished (Blackout looks good by the way, I love puzzle games). You would buy it anyway! and you know it! Little miss shopping addict!

remix !

It takes a while to work you out, but I was leaning towards my third option, making fun of society and it's hypocrises. I lived with a flatmate like that, he didn't get it at all.

Well maybe I'm just being naive about how it could work? Very possibly

Instead of complaining, maybe you should show the rest of us how it's done..? I'll happily help you out with some music if possible, but I can't program and don't intend to start. I'd also have to be part of a team, like I suggested. Anyway, let's not make this thread go mental. It's my opinion, no more, no less. Chill . It's an opinion, not an attack, remember that! It's good that you are making games, it's good to be creative, but I'm sure if you got together you could really create something great. Oh yeah and apologies if some people took it as an attack, its not and if you read my posts you will see that. Oh yeah and this is coming from a creative person who has destroyed hours of music in some wacko artistic temperament thing. I don't see the point in creating, if it's not great, maybe that will help you with where I'm coming from.

About us Development Team NG:DEV.TEAM Location Germany Type of Business Registered trade / private owned business Commercial Independent Video Game Development Studio How about working together on a project? It's GOOD that people are working on Jag stuff, but I think if you guys worked together you could make something really cool, even if it takes years. It's not a hate fail at all, I remember having this sort of conversation with Gorf by the way. What's the point in making a neo geo game it it looks like a nes game? Do you see my point? Look, keep doing whatever you're doing, I'm just making an observation. Opinion, not hate.

Nothing is stopping you! go for it! What would you consider 'pushing the Jag hardware' ? And what is the point? People pushing the fun is much more preferential, be that for them or for the people playing/using what they produce. Also these homebrew devs (myself included) don't do this as a job, this means it can take quite a chunk of time to get something done, even what you may consider a simple game can take months. I have been working on just my Sound Engine for months, it has a long way to go still, and that's just code to make noise! You also need code to draw the screen, and manage the gameplay, you need to tweak things like gameplay to make it fun, which can be a lot of small tweaks and adjustments. Even just looking at the code, writing, testing, debugging for a simple project can take a single person an age.. not even including graphics or sound or other game content in that. Something that I don't think, "they could have made this on 2600 or 7800 and it would have been better". I know I'm not the only person who thinks like this and you know it really doesnt matter, it's just an observation.

What's the point then? I've seen a bunch of homebrews that would actually be better on the 2600 or 7800. If you're not going to actually use the hardware, theres no point. It's better to make one great game, than ten blah ones. http://www.ngdevteam.com/ (how it should be done)

If I were you I'd be afraid of fat moderators. Since we don't have feelings, we don't have remorse either. Keep that in mind... It's sometimes hard to know when RT is looking for a reaction or being serious or making fun of society and it's hypocrises, he's a bit like a shock jock.

why don't people who develop for the Jag try for something great? I'm not being a hater , but (oops!) these homebrews are not exactly pushing the Jag hardware, not even a little bit.

Why in the 8bit/16 bit era did they change the artwork and box style for American and European markets? Why? The Japanese artwork is always way better.

That time could be spent buying things!!! What a waste!

All European Megadrive and Genesis artwork, compared to the Japanese versions.

I've been wondering if I should rethink my "gotta beat it on Hard" mentality. Part of me thinks that beating a game means beating the worst it can dish out, but part of me thinks there's more sanity in saying that beating the default setting = beating the game. Certainly I've put a lot of time -- maybe too much time -- into banging my head against the hardest settings of Sol-Feace, Shaq-Fu, Street Fighter II, and other games that don't have the initials SF. We'll see. depends how hardcore you are, but I think the default setting is more than fine.

I only ever play games on default setting, havent beat chiki chiki yet..

As an Atari 2600 game, that's eligible for sure. Any idea (even very approximate) how long you played it? I'll put down 5 minutes unless I hear differently. 20 mins maybe

help needed! anyone?

Japanese Megadrive is cool!

Jag with normal cd looks cool too, Genesis 2 is not bad..

original Famicom looks cool!
