Announcing a rogue-like RPG for the Atari Jaguar

[Announcing a rogue-like RPG for the Atari Jaguar]

Something like Gauntlet, Secret of Mana, Seiken Densetsu 3/Trials of Mana, or Secret of Evermore is certainly doable on the Jaguar. Just let phoboz finish what he has on his plate.

[Metroidvania for Atari Jaguar - anyone?]

For a clone of Metroid, you have a solid foundation, phoboz. Plus, I know some pixel artists on Newgrounds if you need the help.

[You guys can thank UniWarS for this one... (Galaxian?)]

What's next, a port of Gaplus as well? (Probably won't be for a while.)

[Games, doodles and demos]

I'm glad that you chose Motos, Namco has plenty of '80s titles that rarely, if ever, got a console port.

[Popeye 7800]

Excellent demonstration of the game, Darryl. This should be a good example of what can be done with 7800 Basic.

[My 7800 Vertical Shooter - Heofonfīr]

I finally decided to try to get my twin laser power up to work so I changed:

if joy0fire && joyposup=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser
if joy0fire && joyposdown=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser
if joy0fire && joyposleft=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser
if joy0fire && joyposright=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser

to

if twinlaser_flag=1 && joy0fire && joyposup=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser
if twinlaser_flag=1 && joy0fire && joyposdown=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser
if twinlaser_flag=1 && joy0fire && joyposleft=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser
if twinlaser_flag=1 && joy0fire && joyposright=1 then twinlaserY=twinlaserY-10 : playsfx sfx_plainlaser

However, upon testing, no real change.

Before I go, congratulations to those 7800 Homebrew nominees.

[Popeye 7800]

You guys, along with @Muddyfunster, have earned your nominations.

[You guys can thank UniWarS for this one... (Galaxian?)]

This is one of the biggest surprises of the year in terms of homebrews.

[E.X.O. [WIP]]

You have earned your nomination, Lewis. I would nominate you, @mksmith, and @SmittyB for being the most helpful 7800 Homebrew developers as well.

[Bomber Hero (WIP)]

@BladeJunkerNice job at converting the NES sprites to the 7800's 160A mode.

[E.X.O. [WIP]]

Double Pokey should be more of a limited edition.

[Bomber Hero (WIP)]

This current build I just played is promising.

[7800basic Tips, tricks and examples]

I wanted to ask you if 7800Basic's alphachars can support non-standard letters such as æ, ð, and þ? (Ditto for accented vowels and consonants.) By the way, you're free to use my shooter demo as a project template if you so desire.

[My 7800 Vertical Shooter - Heofonfīr]

Here's the latest update:

continue
    continue_flag=0
    fire_debounce = 1
continue_loop
    plotchars 'continue?' 0 40 3
    plotchars 'yes' 0 24 4
    plotchars 'no' 0 72 4
;    if joy0fire0 then fire_debounce=1
    if !joy0fire0 then fire_debounce=0
    if joy0left && joy0fire && !fire_debounce then clearscreen:playsfx sfx_plainlaser:goto playerX=80 : playerY=144:playerFlag=0:explosion_aniframe=0:goto main
    if joy0right && joy0fire && !fire_debounce then clearscreen:playsfx sfx_plainlaser:goto plot
    goto continue_loop

[Bomber Hero (WIP)]

As of the current build:

-Sometimes, bricks that aren't near the explosion are destroyed.

-The Ballom enemy and Bomberman have dark grey instead of white.

 

Just wanted to mention that.

[Arkanoid [WIP]]

I just downloaded the latest demo, and don't worry about rushing it out the door. Just focus on making the best home version of Arkanoid.

[JS7800: Atari 7800 JavaScript Emulator]

I look forward to the finalized version of JS7800, and the updated Wii7800. Oh, and feel free to add my little vertical shooting demo to the cartridge list if you want.

[Dragon's Descent - Action/Roguelike for the 7800 (ported from the 2600)]

It does look good on actual hardware, and might have to tell one of my friends about it.

[Alpine Games reprint coming early 2021 from Songbird]

I'm glad that I posted a video of Alpine Games on Newgrounds years ago.

[Bomber Hero (WIP)]

So far, you have a bit of a foundation, but I think you should have added this to your mainloop:

if switchreset then reboot

That would eliminate the need to click restart on JS7800 or hard reset on BupSystem.

[Dragon's Havoc - Shmup-In-Progress [UPDATE: Demo available!]]

I think that for another level could be set in a swamp, or at least a crystal cave.

[SNES Hidden Gems 3]

Also worth mentioning about Q*Bert 3 is Joe McDermott's music. What that man did in the early '90s deserves respect and admiration. Wolf Child happens to be, in my opinion, Core Design's best game.

[New SNES game: Yo-Yo Shuriken [Cartridge+ROM]]

I'm glad that the Super NES is getting some more homebrews. Matthias Nagler and whoever created REM would be proud of you!

[What was the greatest year for the Super Nintendo (SNES)?]

To be honest, I can't really decide which one. So, I'll narrow it down to 1994, 1995, and 1996.

[JS7800: Atari 7800 JavaScript Emulator]

You've made one of the best 7800 Emulators out there. Maybe you could do a 3DS homebrew version if the opportunity arises?
