  1. Yes, veto created additional frames for each animal so the head 'turns' on a complete full face now in the sales version.
  2. Hi, sorry for the delay in my reply. They are game-play wise almost identical but not quite 100%. What affects the game and hence the scores is an additional animation once you have completed a 'full face'. This introduces a slightly longer pause before the next piece comes after a full face. It is a tiny difference but might affect the maximum reachable scores when you get some extra fraction of a second for this - which is also why we resetted our online highscore.
  3. Thanks to Alexander Grade for the latest (and new) highscore for level 1 and 2
  4. Ah, new scores! Björn took some lead http://enthusi.de/scores.html
  5. First scores incoming http://enthusi.de/scores.html
  6. I only know that carts are 'in the making' and being shipped. Meanwhile: some shots from when my son was playtesting
  7. Good to hear that they are arriving 🙂
  8. For the Bastion 3D part: Yes, Susy is merely used to clear the frame, effectively it is used to clear the buffer memory only. There is nothing precalculated so it is essentially a line drawing algo and a quick filler (along with quite some 3D math, of course).
  9. Hi everyone, it's been awhile but Assembloids for the Atari Lynx is available now! You can get it at polyplay: https://www.polyplay.xyz/Assembloids-Limited-Edition-Lynx_1 ('limited' as in numbered units with cards signed by all devs etc). Some specs for those who haven't heard of it or don't remember the 2019 competition. - Fully written in Assembler language, no external tools/libraries - Continous 3 Channel music, 1 channel for SFX samples, own music engine - Fast loader (own loader) - Lynx splash image with 182 unique colors (world’s first full RGB without flicker) - Title tune and in-game music during gameplay as well as game-over jingle - Encrypted HIGHSCORE code This boxed release has quite a number of small fine tunings in the graphics, such as a proper perspective for the side panel faces as well as a special animation on a 'full face'. Also a refined 'credits book' including a page that shows the current high scores for all three difficulty levels. The highscores are stored on EEPROM now (and can be reset if wanted). The cart is 256 KB now and includes 3.5 extra gimmicks 1) A beautiful full color art by Jon Egg 2) A freely controllable 3D engine as featured in the Bastion demo of ours 3) The original MOD player release 3.5) A crc32 check that was quite important to me, and much less to the user Today I recorded a short unboxing video including some game play and the extras with my daughter I hope you have as much fun playing this game as we had making it Cheers on behalf of the other PriorArt members, Martin / enthusi
  10. No faulty unit was shipped, of course! I built a CRC32 self-check into the game that was used to test every single cart
  11. For all I know an early batch had faulty (the wrong type) of flashs on the PCB. A mistake by the manufacturer, so it hopefully didn't boost the costs. This delayed things heavily probably.
  12. Ah nice, I use almost the same, though my slow files are still linear in space, just not starting at an block offset. To me that was sufficient to reach fast 'seek times' as well as a proper space usage. Yours sounds better if you have many slow files that are still considerably large I guess. Cool.
  13. Then Assembloids is the first boxed release in 2023 https://www.polyplay.xyz/Assembloids-Limited-Edition-Lynx_1 This is essentially the gameplay of the former competition game: But we refined some graphics (e.g., proper perspective for side panel faces), an additional animation, highscores stored on cart as well as being listed in the credits book and some gimmicks such as a MODplayer or a an early version of the 3D demo part in 'Bastion' that you can actually walk through via control pad The title screen is in our flicker free full color mode but there is also that beautiful art piece by Jon Egg as another extra. There are 150 units in total with autographed certificate available - we sent those across Germany and Poland to have us sign
  14. I agree, it's quite a cool system and I particularly like the non-3D-ness of the console. 3D too often ages super badly and more often than not hurt gameplay compared to proper 2D. The language thing is our own failure not the system's. And admittedly some storytelling of the PC-FX games appears to be 'special'. But it also features games for young women iirc.
  15. Hey, it arrived I still love it with headphones or a proper amp attached \o/ Thanks for your efforts.
