WAVE 1 GAMES

More than one person worked on Fight For Life, you heard wrong. I'm not sure if I understand your question, or rather what the answer you are looking for is. If it had a better dev team working on it how much better could it have looked? Much better? A little better? A better frame rate? I just don't know what you are looking for here. There's no real way to answer your question without more elaborate context. Fight For Life is what it is and a product of it's time. There isn't any 3D fighters on the Jaguar to compare it to either so what we got is what we got. This question falls more in line with the "what if the Jaguar never flopped?" and "what if Atari had better 3rd party support on the Jag?" categories. It didn't happen that way so we will never know.

I have 2 playtesters onboard for Dino Rage so far! Remember guys just shoot me a PM and you are in! I am currently working on replicating Fox's dash move for this Raptor character, it can be seen in this video: I probably wont be posting as many video updates like this for a while, I will keep them coming as I make REAL progress, (maybe weekly or biweekly) I just thought the dash animation came out nicely and I wanted to share lol 348464683_6256208621131651_8915900258796197008_n.mp4 thats all for now folks

This raptor will have moves similar to Fox McCloud. Adding in his deflector shield which repels projectiles as well as sends opponents flying when they are low on HP. I'm going to attempt the same mechanics as Fox's deflector. Instead of a blaster shot he will shoot a fireball from his mouth. These moves are not polished yet I am merely adding the functions, again actual testing will be done on real Jaguar hardware, this is not a test but me working on the additions in real time. (the music playing in the background is not being used in the game, this was merely me setting the mood for working. It is chief Thunders theme from Killer Instinct 3. I often play certain game music when I am working on a project.) deflector.mp4

I have thought about this too. I like the idea of using AI generated art for a game, however the thing I have found is most of the AI generated stuff comes out weird and only very rarely do you get something that looks usable. To that end I will say that what the OP has managed to get generated here looks pretty sharp. The fact that you can't get animated AI generated graphics is a drawback but for doing things like environment backgrounds (like an alien worlds terrain) I think this can be a very useful tool for small developers. The whole AI art scene is very fascinating to me and I have been messing with it over the past year, but I haven't actually tried to make anything usable from it mostly just goofing around. I'm really interested in seeing how this turns out. A Jaguar game made completely with AI generated graphics is definitely something new.

Yes he made one. It is being used too.

I will not be using any emulators for testing only real hardware. You are correct about the control scheme in smash bros, that's the idea.

I'm debating that. It's not off the table

All of what you just said is what is most important of all. It has to feel and play a certain way. That's what was wrong with Primal Rage. It felt clunky at times. But when you look at games like Smash Bros Brawl, that is fast, fluid, responsive and easy to pick up and play. It is my goal to achieve that kind of play on the Jaguar.

Not a chance. I don't know when it will be released. I can confidently say a free demo containing 2 complete characters will be released this year but as far as the game goes I can not put an ETA on it as I have never made a fighting game before. It's almost June now....so that is unrealistic anyway.

That's not a bad idea and I will take note of it. I don't want to get too far ahead of myself on extras and gimmicks right now. The goal right now is for me to get 1 fully 100% functional fighting game character. Once that is done that will be a milestone for me and for the game. After that I can build the remaining characters using him as a template. Then after I'm comfortable with how all of the characters perform and after extensive play testing from others I will start adding stages. I do have some ideas about making the stages very different from what we are used to in a 2D fighting game but at the moment these are just ideas and I don't want to lose focus as the fighting itself is top priority. After the core gameplay and stages are implemented then I can start thinking about extra features like the virtual pet you mentioned. (Those were cool back in the 90s and I have thought about making a virtual pet on Jaguar before so who knows maybe I will!) I should also mention I am looking for a 2D pixel artist to do the blood and hit sparks for this game.

I always disliked Primal rages gameplay but enjoyed it's visuals. I really want this to play like smash bros as I feel Nintendo got it right with easy to pickup moves and gameplay

I agree. That's up for change anyway the option key is kind of a placeholder spot for it as well. I also just wanted to see how block felt on the option key

Currently working on a 2D fighting game with the help of 3D artist Jose Diaz. The game is being done from scratch and will be a spoof of Primal Rage with gameplay and controls similar to that of Super Smash Bros. Below is one screenshot as well as 2 pre-alpha builds of the game for people to try on their game drives. The game is in a very early stage and the current goal is to get one fully functional 100% character, after that I will work on the rest of the characters building off the first one. Finally stages will be done LAST as priority will be getting the fighting game characters working to perfection. The jungle and grid backgrounds you will see in these pe-alpha roms are merely placeholders for the time being. (although the grid style one may end up in the game as the training stage) The goal is to have 12 playable dinosaurs, but that number could be cut to as low as 8. Each character will have a multitude of hitboxes for each body part that will be configured differently and arranged accordingly to the characters current action state The build presented here shows the characters idle, walking and jumping functions. The 3 attack states are currently assigned to the Jaguars 3 action buttons A,B and C, however they are in a very early stage and not tweaked at the time of this writing. Pressing the Option button will engulf your character in a dinosaur egg which will be the basis for blocking in this game. If you are interested download one of the roms and have a look and feel free to discuss, I won't be very active in the forums for a while but I wanted to let folks know what I was working on and that this will be coming to the Jag one day. Phoboz and Jag_Mag have both offered to help with development if and when I run into any trouble. If you want to be a play tester for Dino Rage simply shoot me a PM and you can get onboard with the project. Any playtsters will be credited in the final release as what you do is very important to the overall quality of the game. dino_prealpha_grid.abs dino_prealpha_jungle.abs

The VCS ONYX. It happens often too. I could record it. I find it hard to believe others haven't encountered the bugs as they happen frequently. the music bug in particular has only occurred twice for me but once it happens to you, you will know it! its very annoying. I could uninstall the game and then reinstall but I'm curious to find out who else has seen this

guys I have spent days on end playing this game and although I love it there are several bugs and glitches in this one. 2 different type of instant game over bugs 1 happens during level transition and the other happens at the beginning of a level . There is also a bug where the music will play twice meaning it plays one track on top of another. I am planning on writing a full review on this one but Atari needs to do some update patches on this one. Out of all of the recharged games this one has had the most bugs

Tony this game actually looks pretty bad ass. This is exactly the type of game I enjoy playing. Good work man! I bought BPM Boy and there is nothing wrong with it that I have experienced its just not a genre of game that I usually pick up and play. This on the other hand is right up my alley! I can't wait to play this. Keep up the good work! I'm getting FUTURE COP L.A.P.D. vibes here......... That is definitely a good thing sir!

Man you always get early access!!! I am so jealous 😂 I'm looking forward to this one for real

Really? Somehow I am to blame? I never left the forums. I emerged to help with a customer service issue for one of my games. I am not affiliated with Phoboz in any way. I think I have spoken to him once and that was to let him know his copy of JagZombies 2 that he bought from me was in the mail and on the way. This is how false information gets spread. Stop it.

I said I wasn't going to respond to this thread anymore but I know you and this comment seems sincere and non trollish. Frogz 64 was a complete shit show and should have NEVER been released. The main reason I no longer offer that game for sale. JagZombies was also removed from my store upon the release of JagZombies 2 which includes a version of JagZombies where all of the issues were in fact fixed. And That version of the game comes with JagZombies 2 as bonus content. I also released the ROM to the original JZ1 As freeware at the same time. The problem I have here is this thread is in fact not about my releases from 2017 and 2018 the thread is about a customer receiving a translucent aqua blue shell for his copy of KA Aircars and he actually wanted black. He couldn't get in contact with me so he reached out here to the "community" The "community" is using this thread to beat a dead horse and bash on me as they always do. Making false statements about what I have said and done in the past that have nothing at all to do with the issue here Kazdan paid for his copy of 3D Zyx and Second Opinion games also paid for Saucer Wars and JagZombies 2 but god forbid anyone says anything good about anything I have done or they are doing a disservice to the "community". Do I need to upload PayPal receipts for proof? I don't think I do because nobody here is that important nor should they carry such a God complex. It's astounding that some of the people here in this thread actually believe that the Jaguar community is limited to the bubble of AA you all linger over your keyboards in. For the record I have never said "tough shit the rent is due" to anyone and Stephen you can fuck right off with that blatant lie. My games aren't $80 again fuck right off Stephen with your vile lies. Has it been made public knowledge yet that the guy who made JeffZombies was selling pirated carts of Holiday Snacks and Saucer Wars in the UK? Or that he literally wanted me to reskin one of my existing projects for "his world war 2 airplane game"? Probably not but that didn't stop everyone from jumping onboard with that shit show and giving him a pat on the back for a job well done. Disgusting Or has it been brought to public knowledge that a certain individual whom I will not do the pleasure of mentioning his name told a YouTuber that if he did a video interview with me that he would never speak to him again and effectively black ball him? Shocking that someone thinks they are that important in a community of gamers. This person actually said it was disrespectful towards him for said YouTuber to interview me. No my friend there is no constructive criticism in this thread just a rehash of stuff from 4-5 years ago and pure hatred from the same people as always. Zerosquare says cool we can link to this thread whenever anyone asks about your customer service....dude shut the fuck up. You are tired and old already. It saddens me because these are people in their 40's, 50s and even 60s and they act like fucking children. This thread is off track as they all always are whenever anyone mentions my name. This is called dog piling and cyberbullying and it continues all the fucking time. That's the issue. Not games that I no longer offer for sale not this or that or whatever other bullshit somebody wants to drop a link or false quote on. You guys THINK you know me but in reality you don't. Believe what you read or don't I don't care because I am an asshole and you have no idea how nasty I can actually be. I'm tired of all of you Y'all thought a game about shooting me with a shotgun was funny after I lost my father? Really????? Go ahead and prompt me to post my banable offense. I dare you

I wouldn't waste your time praising anything I have created on an AA forum. Jeff is the boogy man and everything he's ever done is wrong and he's a con man snake oil salesman bla bla bla ect ect. That's the consensus here with this crowd. Acknowledgement of collision detection issues and such as if I never figured out collision detection (that's so 2017 y'all grow up) All of this drama because I sent someone the wrong color cartridge and he couldn't get a hold of me nevermind the fact I have already corrected the cartridge color issue, same old crowd of toxic people having a rainbow colored field day with cotton candy farting unicorns over here in the AA thread. I fully expect about 10 quotes and replies that read something like this "no Jeff it's because we have done this for you and you never learn and this is wrong and that is wrong and bla bla bla we have tried helping you so much and you did this and that here guys look at this link where Jeff did this thing" your narrative is played out already and lame af. Dude got a blue cart instead of black. He couldn't get a hold of me due to reasons I do NOT have to explain to the club here. I saw his thread and I sent him the cart replacement. His idea worked. That is what happened whatever else y'all bring up is just drama and the continued mistreatment of me personally and my brand. You guys really need to grow the fuck up and get off my ##### I refuse to carry on replying to this thread so go ahead and knock yourselves out with more colorful commentary and cheap shots. I will read them and laugh at them all. All the while thinking y'all look a bunch of children.... Or even better several different incarnations of Beavis and Butt-Head Hold my beer.... Get the popcorn hur hur hur. Reply before the thread is locked. Lame. GAFL

You can't right now I'm sold out and out of boards at the moment. I'm suspending all sales until I get new boards in which will be ordered next Friday

He already got his replacement USPS TRACKING Number 9400111206214433371932

if there is a list of specific games you would like overlays for shoot me a PM and I can have them produced and if enough requests come in I may add something like this to my website for ordering

Oh I have been out here the whole time reading and looking at all of the colorful commentary. Fishin Frenzy is still being worked on as well as my other projects. Im shocked you enjoyed Saucer Wars as Im rather certain it was proven without a shadow of doubt in a totally unbiased Youtube review that the game was completely broken and the collision detection was way way off on that one. Are you sure it was Saucer Wars you played? How on Earth did you manage to endure the pain and horrific suffering of such horrible collision detection long enough to enjoy it? 😂 I kid I kid..... Im glad you enjoyed Saucer Wars. A ton of effort was put into that game. You are not the only one who has made a point to let me know that they liked it. I appreciate that. Fishin Frenzy and Shark Byte are still in the works. I stepped away from the Jaguar scene for a while because my father passed away last summer (2021) and it hit me pretty hard. (I am actually the one who found him dead in his home) I was not in a position to do anything related to Jaguar or be active in the community as I was very close to my father and depression hit me very hard. Things got ugly for a while and I knew that I would most definitely not be able to be in good enough shape to keep up with things around here so I went silent. When I have something to announce regarding Fishin Frenzy and Shark Byte release date I shall do so accordingly (it will be soon) Thank you for your purchase. PS: the Mortal Kombat thing was just an experiment to see if I could try my hand at making a fighting game. It was never going to be an actual release to the public.
