+MrFish Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 Nice. Stereo using 16-bit voices would help the music. Just another demo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilmenit Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 What about moving objects (enemies, missiles) on map? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted December 17, 2012 Share Posted December 17, 2012 level/characters seems to be a bit big, but apart from that this looks really promissing can't wait till it turn into something playable (meaning with NPC running around and lots of coins to collect) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 I'd love to see this done on NTSC, though I'd imagine the PAL blending wouldn't work as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivop Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 (edited) PAL Blending doesn't work on YouTube and a TFT screen either, but if you don't sit too close, your eyes blend OT: looks impressive. As candle says, it's a bit big, but I guess if you are really focused on the game and "into" it, you won't really notice.

Lazarus Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 PAL Blending doesn't work on YouTube and a TFT screen either, but if you don't sit too close, your eyes blend The emulator should emulate PAL blending. The C64 emulator Vice already does it for years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegamezmaster Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Looks very good! Sure would be great if it materializes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xuel Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks for the compliments everyone. I have my doubts that much more can be done on the A8 in terms of sprites and gameplay, but I'll see what I can do with it. @Lazarus Altirra does have PAL blending emulation. From what I could tell visually comparing it to video captures of my PAL Atari 800XL, it's pretty accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I could tell visually comparing it to video captures of my PAL Atari 800XL, it's pretty accurate. Thanks for giving this statement. If I had written this, I would have been the bad emkay again Sticking to Gr. 7 will give enough free cycles to handle many enemies, for sure. As those games don't really need that much moving objects as Space Harrier uses, colourful graphics without flicker should be still possible.

Xuel Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 @emkay Indeed, parring down the display CPU requirements would certainly help. Another possibility is ANTIC mode 5 which also gives square pixels but also adds a fifth color and character set indirection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthpopalooza Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Or use Antic 4, and do a LMS and DLI char change every line, swap between two fonts. This essentially gives you a 4x16 char cell at 192 line resolution. The aspect ratio will be the same as in Antic 5 but your resolution is doubled.
