    Any news on when the book will be released?
  2. InsertCoin25
    Those boxes look great!!! Is The Stacks and Golden Legends going to be included in this round of homebrews?
  3. InsertCoin25
    I apologize in advance if this is under the wrong forum topic. Is there any info on when the new homebrews will be released in the AtariAge store? The games where mentioned under the Upcoming Games topic on the AtariAge Store front page. Thank You InsertCoin25

    This is great news. Looking forward to the purchase.

    The game is actually called Super Pixel Bros., and is a hack of Super Mario Bros. 1. You can find the info on the romhacking website - http://www.romhacking.net/hacks/1439/. The person who created the cart just changed the name, for whatever reason. Edit: Just played the rom, have to say, it was done pretty well. Like the simple graphics look.

    I seriously love playing this demo. I like how the player turns into a ship, it just adds a different element to the game design. Very well done.

    This is looking really polished. Great job. I am excited to see another platformer for the 2600. Keep up the great work.

    Alright, sounds good. Only problem I have is reading text on a computer screen for a long period of time. Guess I will be printing the manual to read offline. Probably only 800 pages worth of printing. Edit - Did a print preview - around 292 pages. I would like batari basic to help me with the basics of 2600 programming, so I can get the fundamentals (without getting frustrated and ultimately giving up), and then move to understanding assembly language. I am probably doing this in reverse order, but I believe this will help fill in gaps for my lack of programming skills. I appreciate the posts so far. Thank you.

    I figured I might start this development process, using batari basic, but I don't really know too much basic programming. What books would you recommended to learn basic? I did notice that Random Terrain had a book for Atari 400/800 basic on his website, is that a good start? I have been reading through the 'Stella Programming Manual', to understand how the Atari 2600 operates. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank You InsertCoin25 Edit - The book on Random Terrain's site is called Atari Basic - Self Teaching Guide.

    Actually, that is the same person who was running atari2600homebrew.com. The owner of the site wanted to focus on all console homebrew, instead of just 2600. It's a great site imo. The forum thread organization does take sometime to get use to. But, overall there is great info on there. I don't know if the owner has publicly announced the new site yet. I believe he is trying to get most of the game info in, which is time consuming, before announcing it.

    That is awesome!! Glad you got good feedback from Tod Frye, I can only imagine what a motivational boost that must of been . Take Care
  12. InsertCoin25
    Awesome, I am glad to hear everything is coming together for you. This will be fun when it is finished.

    Sweet!! I really need to invest in a 3d printer. Do you have any suggestions, as I am new to the whole 3D printer scene. Looking for a budget printer that can also output decent results.

    How many cart shells, on average, could you get out of one roll of ABS?
  15. InsertCoin25
    That is awesome norm8332!! Have you tried any different color cart shells?
  16. InsertCoin25
    Sounds awesome!! I would love to attend PRGE at some point in my life, but I live on the east coast, so making it there is hard at this point in life. Best of luck at PRGE showing off the demo.

    Hey tschak909, loving the demo. I just have one question. Is the player when running into the walls, on the playfield, suppose to vibrate like that? I would love to play this on cartridge against people.
  18. InsertCoin25
    This looks amazing Alp!! Please see this game through. Leaving it on the 2600 is wise, in my humble opinion. Great work so far!!
  19. InsertCoin25
    Thank you JJJJJS and swlovinist for adding clarity to this topic. I do agree with Jin, that releasing the rom to the community, would give you greater feedback.
  20. InsertCoin25
    Take your time ultima, no rush. Not going to lie, I can't wait to play the new build.
  21. InsertCoin25
    I can understand that. I think that the collectible crap market stems from having a form of OCD collector mentally. Anything that comes out, including low-par homebrew, they must have. To be honest, I sometimes fall into that mentality. Its the excitement of something new, even if it sucks. Which in return will drive you crazy, if you don't get a handle on it. I can also imagine how true homebrew developers feel, such as yourself, when the market is flooded with crap and people are buying all the crap and overlooking the gems. It does make the homebrew scene look like a fly by night product, and that is worrisome. Hopefully collectors can wake up and see this before it gets too extreme.

    I read through the majority of that thread, I think about a month ago. I really hope that it does not come to this. I believe no matter what programming language, assembly or batari basic, if a game is polished, has great gameplay, and mostly bug free, it should be considered worthy of praise. I also do understand that a lot of get money quick schemes have the potential to ruin this great hobby of homebrew, and that is worrisome. Developers should be pushing the limits of the console, not worrying about how much money they can make off it. If your game is good, or even great, people will notice. They will also notice if you are in it for a quick dollar, which I really hope that The End is going to a good cause - charity.

    I really have no idea about the album cover, but for some reason The Doors came to mind and I know for a fact that is wrong. I do like your drawing though. Is that going to be the cartridge cover, if you decide to release on cartridge?
  24. InsertCoin25
    I was thinking the same thing, but I am really hoping the auction goes to a reliable charity. If I had the money I would try and win this auction, and release the rom image for free.

    I would be glad to test the NTSC version.
