    Are you still taking orders for the second run of Orion games? I'm interested in phillia. Thnx

    Philia is CD based, this was a cartridge reprint, no CD will be reprinted.

    But, I might make my Jaguar CD games available for download for a cheap price so you can burn them by yourself and play.

    This is the "modern" way of working. It has two advantages:

    1. You are not forced to mess up your pc with a bunch of development tools and the corresponding enviroment like ENV variables etc. All is ready configured in the docker.
    2. You can so easily use different versions side-by-side, 'cause everything is separated by docker.

    it seems like people forgot how to do it the old and simple way ...

    for VBCC on Jaguar I have no dependency, just the few VBCC executable files, rmac, rln, and thats it.

     

    here is my compilation script:

     

    set path="E:\Programmation\Jag\bin";"E:\Programmation\Falcon\VBCC\bin"

    vc +vc.ini -c -O2 game.o game.c

    rmac -fb -u main.s

    rln -v -n -rq -a 802000 x 4000 -o test.rom main.o game.o

    I don't understand what is docker and why this is needed ?

    I compiled VBCC/VASM/VLINK for Windows and it works perfectly.

    I prefer VBCC instead of gcc because you can compile with very few and lightweight executables, also the assembly call syntax is very easy to write with functions parameters as registers.

    I used VBCC + RMAC + RLN for all my jaguar games starting from Elansar.

    If you want a VBCC windows precompiled executable (maybe not the latest version of vbcc, but well ..) you can find one on my website in the tool section

    Thanks to all of you for your support.

     

    This means no more Jaguar games from Orion? That's a bummer. :( I really liked Osmossys.

    If you read my twitter or facebook page, I announced about 2 months ago that I would stop any game development activities.

    I tried to make a living from this since 4 years and I failed. I would have expected my latest Jaguar reprint from Gaztee and Escape 2042 release from Albert of AA to be released pretty quick but these have been delayed beyond what I expected, so until I get some money from this or until I find a new job, I need to pay the rent, that's why I'm selling some of my stuff now.

    the jaguar cd is not a stand alone unit as with the sega-cd which has its own processor.

    the jaguar cd require the DSP cpu to periodically get audio data from the cd to output to the speakers

    this require some DSP cpu power, if Jaguar doom use the DSP for graphic computation, then it might slow down the game

    if that is the case, maybe that's why Jaguar doom don't have sound, because it require power from both GPU & DSP for computing the graphics

    Yes, I quit game programming as a "professional" and will leave this as a hobby, hence no more physical release and way much time between my game releases.

    Don't worry about Escape 2042 for Jaguar, it will happen, the port is finished and ready, I'm in the process of finishing the box art and manual design so Albert can start the production as soon as he can.

    I won't make physical game release myself anymore, so once my game stock is empty, that will be it.

    But I still have lots of game in stock especially for the Dreamcast, that's why I've been making sales recently.

    If additional physical game releases should happen then that would be made by someone else, for example Gaztee with the Reprint of Elansar/Alice/OJC

     

    I just want to say that, above all the gaming communities, the Jaguar one has been the most supportive of my work, thanks for all guys :)

    Thanks for this review, I'm glad you like the game :)

    I hope you will get soon to the second part with the mini games and other worlds.

     

    About the cart and case, I'm trying to gather the parts I can

    I don't have enough funds or knowledge to go to china and ask for new plastic mold, etc...

    I'm just a single guy trying to create games for his beloved retro console.

    If I were to design specific parts and case to make it like a real cart from 90's that would cost me way much more, and I don't sell as much as Watermelon .. (about 60 carts sold for now, when watermelon sells thousands ..)

    sorry, I don't have any cart left.

    gaztee offered me to make a new run of carts for my 2 games, Elansar and Alice's mom's Rescue.

    I haven't heard of him since quite some time, maybe you could send him a message to ask when he plan to do this new run.

    for now the engine you made is relatively easy, until you get to the 3D clipping part, that was always my main problem with 3D engine, once the coordinates goes behind the camera, fixed point math always goes bananas ...

     

    in your first post you say "- World Frustum culling / - Polygon clipping", I can't see any of these on your videos

    expect if "clipping" for you means "if coordinate < 0 -> wipe out the entire polygon"

     

    about Wipeout, it's not cheating ... that's the 3D engine job to optimize the geometry so you have the minimal amount of math to do on low end machine

    Maybe you can release an cd image for download for people that want it. That way you save the trouble to burn/master them. Add a cd label and cd cover. In the download.

    well ... once I got all of these, I can just send them to the factory for production ;)

    I know lots of people don't have a Jaguar CD, so I would prefer to do a cart release, but a cart is much more complex and expensive to produce.

     

    anyway, thanks for your support, I will really consider making this on Jaguar in the coming months

    Hi,

     

    add the Jaguar option also to kickstarter I like to donate for this game.

     

    Secondly I like to order both the CD and Boxed cartridge version when done.

     

    Are you considering to add a nice FMV before the game starts from CD ?

    I don't know if I will make both version, because it's lots of work to produce a physical game.

    I can't add it to the kickstarter, because It would need to be a stretch goal, and if the stretch goal isn't met, what will I send to the Jaguar backers ? If I produce the Jaguar version with only the initial goal, I will lose money ...

    I might make a kickstarter just for the Jaguar version, so that It will fund the production fee
