snicklin Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 I had several goes on the game at Replay today. I'm not a shmup guy so I only saw about 80% of the first level. Looks damn good! Ahh, I probably saw you around but didn't put a name to your face! Did you have an Atari t-shirt on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+MrFish Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Are you using single-pixel horizontal variation for bullet position? It's a little hard to tell in the video. No, for speed they're just characters being stepped one cell per frame (with a "tilt" when the smooth scroll finishes it's cycle and resets so they don't jump) same as i'd do elsewhere. That was a typo. I meant vertical. I could see the character stepping horizontally and was complimenting your use of it, as it doesn't affect the look and saves having to bit-shift.

GroovyBee Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Ahh, I probably saw you around but didn't put a name to your face! Did you have an Atari t-shirt on? No! I had my GroovyBee name badge on . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) No! I had my GroovyBee name badge on . Oh dear, my manvision kicks in again! For anyone that doesn't know what manvision is, it's the way that us men are terrible at spotting things (even if you are looking straight at them). I never made it past the first level either, but maybe we will when TMR has revised how many bullets each enemy requires. TMR was telling me about some of the technical difficulties that he was having with the colour flipping. I've had the same problem too, too few cycles to flip colours and do LMSs etc. Edited November 7, 2011 by snicklin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Nah, the true definition of Man Vision is : When talking to a male see nothing, when talking / looking at a female only notice their boobs.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 First of all, I'd love to give a great big thank you to both Jason and Sean (and I met both of them) for creating this wonderful new game. Jason, outside of you two, was I the first AtariAger to play this game? My comments on it are/were that it's a very good game and feels quite like Zybex to me (which was a fantastic game itself). However Jason has gone further with the PMGs than they ever did in Zybex as that was all character based. Zybex , character based? On the C64, yes. On the A8, no. On the A8 not fully playable though.

No, of course it isn't char-based... But strange is your opinion because Zybex was/is running on your truly lover GR.7 Bitmap Mode....

José Pereira Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 (edited) You been on the beer Jose? I don't drink beer, just Black Beer like a Guiness in an Irish bar that wasn't the case... No, probably wrong Topic... Also probably my bad English but what I said it is said.... probably it fits to someone here even with my always bad English...

snicklin Posted November 7, 2011 Author Share Posted November 7, 2011 Sorry for the confusion, I was meaning that the enemies in Zybex are not PMGs, not that it's a character based screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's strange with my opinion? It's not an opinion but a fact, when objects cannot be reached, because they stuck in the ground. You even miss upgrades by that.

Sorry to hear about your eye problems, I hope you get well soon. So was this game shown at the gaming show you spoke of? How much more is ther to do once you are well?

How much more is ther to do once you are well? It was shown at Replay on the Sunday yes, although the version on show was only three of the four levels and without difficulty balancing. All that's missing now is the enemies for level 4, a couple of extra ones for level 1 and then i have to go through and tune up the difficulty curve properly.

I'm really looking forward to this game. I do hope though, if it's only got 4 levels that they will be longer in the end than the one level video I've seen. That seemed pretty short. But I'm looking forward to it even if it's a short game. Edited December 11, 2011 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
