    Okay seriously, what is your problem?

    Oh...did i tell a Name???

    Bob is our greatest coder and in the past........some guys always criticized his work,without doing it better or without coding a 7800 game.....I can tell a lot,but then i should be able to do it better.You should know,that the 7800 System is limited in its abilities....and Bob does always

    the best...if it is possible.It is the same,like Bentley Bear.

    Oh...i am still waiting for your Pacland file ,or is your Project dead?

    Hey Gambler,

     

    Yep, I feel the same as TIX - you're welcome to use the background houses I created. I'm also working on something else, but am on here often and wish you good luck with the project! 👍

    Hi Aaron

    well...i think about Jaden...he talked to be the One

    who continues????

    But until now......only one stupid comment.....

    I do not need to continue this,if he does.....

    So let us wait,what he says.....

    Your advice taken!!

     

    Just a lot to (re-)learn...

    Kevin said the same,what i always said.And yes,Bentley is a great game....much better than

    Pacland.A Jumpnrun with Pacland graphics is still

    possible.However it will take a lot of work.

    Well,i wanna see,what Jaden has to show....😉

    Seems he is really good... 

    so i watch the whole thing from the background.

    Side by side comparisons attached. 

     

    TIX/Jaden sprites on left, Gambler version on right. 

     

    I feel like we should be using TIX sprites for everything. Especially if down the line we are able to add more frames of animation. @gambler172, I totally understand where you're coming from as far as the "many hours of work" it would take to build a great "Jump&Run" game, but I feel like that's the point. I'd rather invest the time to build backgrounds for more of an actual "port" version of PacLand, because if it's designed and built to the 7800's FULL capabilities, PacLand could potentially be one of the very best platformers on the system. It could be a real showcase of the ProSystem's power, both artistically and gameplay wise. PacLand is almost the perfect title to build a great version within the abilities of the 7800. 

     

    Could we do a "passable" game using the existing parameters? Yes. But I'd rather invest time and energy into pushing the system and doing the very best game possible! Right now, it's playing as an almost identical version of Bentley, with swapped out sprites. 

     

    Down the line, it may be possible to get the editor tweaked to fit PacLand, to make it a more unique experience, apart from Bentley. Reverse scrolling, added frames of animation, increased sprite width, and more changes are all possible....which would make testing the current version of the game a bit irrelevant bc everything would shift with these sorts of changes. 

     

    Just my two cents.

    One last time....Bob did not create the editor...the editor cannot be changed....either Jaden uses it or not....You can play with SCROLLING...ok......but why do you guys want original Pacland....this could be done,from the scratch...without emulator....and for sure NOT by me.

    Changing colours of the enemies is possible.....i am 

    tired of telling the whole thing again and again.....

    and cause Giles started the topic....i want to have

    some of his enemies in the game too.But i give up 

    and let Jaden do,what he wants.....

    Ha! Is the 7800 going to be home to every Pac-Man game? 

     

    Probably not worth much but I like the recent sprite too.

    Just for info.....This is NOT the original Pacland.

    It is a Pacland fangame in style of Bentley.....NOTHING more....play it...like it....or not.I just played the original Pacland and i think,it

    is a bad game....too heavy...no fun at all.

    So again......here is NO original Pacland 😬

    @Jaden (JRH) and @gambler172: perhaps the two of you could cooperate and «compare notes»

    as to how the Bentley-Engine is best worked to get best graphical output/graphical settings!

     

    Lets co-operate!

    I have another idea...let Jaden show,what he can.....

    he may use my actual version and can do what he

    wants.......he is soo good,he does not need me.

    For sure,he can do a complete new area from the scratch.

    Yes. Aside from Level 2-1, which levels are "ready" to be tested? 

    only Level 1 with its 8 stages....in stage 8 there is the mini boss at the end and Level 2 stage 1....i put

    Big Boss at the end.....normally,he will not appear

    soo early.

    But till now,i got only one silly comment and the 

    small number of downloads,shows that there is no

    interest in such a project 😢

    And it would be a damn heavy work,to build a reasonable JumpnRun....with dozens hours of work.

    Hi Guys

     

    here my latest file....If you take the "W" at the beginning....you will be warped to Level2 stage 1

    otherwise just Play Level 1 through 8 stages.....Before i continue working on this.....i Need some testplayers.Level1 is full playable....also Level2 stage 1.I Need to know....is the game too easy or too heavy...or is the difficulty OK???

    Please do not come up with suggestions....i only want,that someone is playing the game.

    It makes no sense to spend lots of time with a game,Nobody wants......

    Graphic corrections,like colours,dark outline,BOSS changes..............can be done,when the game engine is ok.

    And when everything is done......we can get Music.

    Yes I can definitely do this. I think the houses need to be much bigger for sure. But Gambler is saying it's not possible? There must be a way...

    In a later Level,i can use big houses...but then i can

    use only one or two.......

    @gambler172 @Giles N This is Jaden's interpretation of TIX's sprite of PacMan. IMO, this one looks much better (with the dark outline) and hat. I know you are making the hat a powerup, but maybe he can just "glow/blink" when he has the invincibility and have that hat on all the time, which i think looks much better. Can we get our hero looking like this?

    We can discuss this,when gameplay is finished...

    also i can change BIG BOSS anytime.
