Between this, Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest and GroovyBee's Halloween game, the trio of homebrew games on my wishlist is complete! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Salamon Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Cafeman... Are you going to be in the Secret Santa this year? If so, I hope you get a lot of goodies! I can't wait to hear the good word of this being available at the AtariAge store... I'll be buying it immediately!! Thanks again for making this possible! I've been wanting to play this sine the 80's when I wondered what Atari would do after the first Adventure. When the 5200 game came out I was quite jealous and almost went and got a system just to play this. Ok... Blah blah over... Congrats on nearing the end of the project and. Big thumbs up!!

+Cafeman Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 http://www.atariage....ge-game-lineup/ Adventure II XE makes its first public appearance. After the show there will be more info about AtariAge's store etc. Albert and I are still discussing and he's quite busy with all the other homebrews. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+wood_jl Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 That's awesome, Cafeman. There is a lot of anticipation for this!! As "Trelane" said in "The Squire of Gothos" episode of the original Star Trek: Absolutely Smashing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 If you press the "R" key on the title screen, it toggles on/off VR mode (Very Random). The "VR!" blinks to draw attention to itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Lange Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Cafeman, This really looks great. Can wait to see it in cartridge form. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 Nice title screen... Can't wait to place my order! "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!" Great stuff Cafeman... This is going to rock! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_Salamon Posted October 1, 2012 Share Posted October 1, 2012 Those screen shots are great... I like the end game counts as well. Rankings will make this even more replayable. Secrets secrets secrets!! Gotta love em! By the way what was the feedback from the show this weekend? Ok, time to drool over those screens again.

+Cafeman Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Secrets secrets secrets!! Gotta love em! ... By the way what was the feedback from the show this weekend? 1. "Secrets" is referring to the 3 hidden bat eggs. "dots" 2. Unfortunately, Adventure II XE wasn't shown at the PRGE after all - the cart didn't work for some reason , and Al was too busy to figure out the problem & fix it once the show began. Al didn't tell me that anyone asked about it, so it doesn't sound like anyone noticed. Probably too busy playing one of the MANY other homebrews that were set up! ------------------- I need feedback for an addition to the XE version. It is illustrated by this screenshot - the Silver Dragon. Now, my original idea was that any dragon which is killed and revives 3 times (when you Revive yourself, any slain dragons are also revived; and on Special skill levels they revive after X amount of time) will revive as a Silver Dragon - a faster, stronger, meaner foe to contend with. So it isn't a 4th dragon, but is something that any of the other 3 dragons can be turned into. However, my original idea was for only one of the 3 dragons each game (randomly chose each new game) will be able to turn into Silver mode - this way the game won't get overrun with super-tough foes just because you like to respawn and kill dragons. And the Silver dragon would stay in the changed-dragon's "Territory". Additionally, once a Silver Dragon is killed, it would reset to its normal mode if it got revived afterwards. If you kill a Silver Dragon, you'll get rewarded with an extended power-up. My question is this: do you like this idea? In your opinion, is there a better set of rules about its appearance? If so, you'll need to expound. I won't change it unless there is a good reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I like the change-up and all the rules you set forth above for the Dragon. Only possible thought is to not have any 1 Dragon be designated a 'Silver' Dragon - allow all of them to become one, however only 1 at a time and the restrictions above. Once a Dragon becomes silver all the death counts would reset on the other dragons so it would take 3 kills again on any of the dragons to make them silver. My $0.02 - but if any of this delays the final release then keep as is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Okay, I like your suggestion - only allow 1 Silver at a time, but any dragon within the current game can be turned into the Silver Dragon. This idea has been planned for a year now; I'm only now getting the time to incorporate it into the game, as it was "low priority". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon Posted October 6, 2012 Share Posted October 6, 2012 Sounds good on paper.. hopefully in practice it will work out. But yeah.. sounds good to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_Salamon Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Silver dragon will be cool to see and I agree... Only one of them please. Have you heard any further from Albert with the problem cart? Hope it was corrected even though it wasn't available for the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
