miker #2 Posted August 12, 2007 Game is coded by TeBe (coder of Dynablaster), graphics by Vidol (also known from Dynablaster) and music by sTRing (creator of music in Klony, Sudoku Sweep). Sample game engine was shown at Glucholazy. The game will require at least 3 banks of ext-memory. Game speed will be about 25fps (one phase will go every second frame). Now the game look "as is" (or as shown at the link above), there's still lack of game-panel and a dozen or so backgrounds. The music and SFX are now ready. So (as i always say)... STAY TUNED!

tjb #3 Posted August 12, 2007 Interesting. Can some kind soul who is versed in both Polish and English please translate the blurb on my game Rasteroids? Thanks, tjb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miker #4 Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) Well... i try Another clone of well known game Asteroids, which will be done by an American atarian nicked tjb. The last news about the game are from october 2006, but before the autor became silent, he has done a lot of work (what was shown on the videos), there's only lack of sounds. The game will be available for 8-bit and 5200 machines. Tjb has made some videos of working game and Lord Helmet has even done the labels for carts and boxes. The game is better conversion that the ones existing already for 8-bit atari. There's done a lot with the game and the there's great chance of completing it.

I guess it has been some time since I posted anything about the game. I've still been working on it here and there and still plan on releasing it. I guess I stopped actively posting about it because there seemed to be little interest in the game. tjb Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heaven/TQA #6 Posted August 12, 2007 miker...and what is written about my games? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miker #7 Posted August 12, 2007 (edited) Shortly: very little chances for completing Time Pilot (done a little) and Boinxx (done very little). Hehe, i didn't even know about TP). And a bit more chances regarding Beyond Evil. Sorry, i'm getting lazy... Edited August 12, 2007 by miker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fres #8 Posted August 12, 2007 Interesting page. I've recently thought that Pang would be a good game to do on the 8-bit. It's a fun arcade game. Simple and addictive. I believe the arcade game is AKA Buster Bros.? Shouldn't Bubble Bobble be on that page too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miker #9 Posted August 12, 2007 Yes, why not. But there's need for some details. The author(s), % of completion, % of possibility of releasing and so on... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrFish #10 Posted August 12, 2007 miker, Is there a final version of Yie Ar? I have several different versions, two of which seem complete. The one shown on Atari Online has a nicer looking title screen than the ones I've got. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miker #11 Posted August 12, 2007 There's no final version yet. The one with that colorful screen also doesn't exist (it was an experiment done on Graph2Font by some gfxman (Gonzo). After losing the sources (and recovering some older ones) the game looks more or less as the most recent versions (which was posted somewhere on a-age) but there's lack of some FX (and that lousy hang-up bug is still present). Well - the project is not dead, it just fell asleep. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well - the project is not dead, it just fell asleep. Hmmm... alright. Well, at least he was able to recover the older souces. I do have the one that was posted last on AA, and also one from Fandal's site (I think). In the two version that I have the title screen music is different, and one of them has the sfx during gameplay. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrFish #14 Posted August 13, 2007 I guess I stopped actively posting about it because there seemed to be little interest in the game. It seems that's not true Agreed! I have always wanted to see a good version of Asteroids for the A8. Atari's choice of porting their 2600 version directly to the A8 was the epitome of cheapness. Probably the reason there didn't seem to be much interest to you (tjb) is because the "Atari 5200 / 8-bit Programming" forum isn't used frequently by most members. I wish it was used more, but I guess people who aren't programmers think that it's only for programmers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn Jefferson #15 Posted August 14, 2007 Cool, there are a lot of games in development. I hope some of the get completed! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emkay #16 Posted August 14, 2007 Cool, there are a lot of games in development. I hope some of the get completed! I'd prefer to call it "Atari dream page" One really can see, what is fiction and what is a real game project. If there weren't some little count of good games already, one could think that the A8 is a system of dreamers...not capable of what those are saying. Heck, while "Pang" is not fully possible on the A8. A Defender of the Crown could easily loke like a16bit version. .... without "dreaming"... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
carmel_andrews #17 Posted August 14, 2007 (edited) hows about a version of 'turrican' to compliment the soon to be VBXE upgrade (just to show off the upgrade ofcourse) Re: yie ar kung fu....i seem to have 2 versions as well (emulator format) one is 256k and the other is 320k Edited August 14, 2007 by carmel_andrews Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rybags #22 Posted July 7, 2009 Looking good. I think the black surrounds on the character and bubbles works really well to help seperate them from the background. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
