Not intend to but...

[José Pereira]

This Thread at FormatWar was specific ther because of someone that start beeing interested in this game.

Some of you may remember my interest and some screens and ideas some years ago (that are even in G2F Tebe's page).

Now Yers later I resurrected it because I came across a C16 conversion screen and load my old ones again. Now when I see them again I feel that they were really uggly and that they have nothing to do with the game reality.

 

Even if some people think that they are only screens, I think I really made a great progression over these Years.

 

 

 

 

As I said, because of the interest of one of our friends and his ideas and work I spent the last three Nights sleeping no more than 2or3 Hours per Night to get something...

And this 'something' it's not even half of what may come if he wants my colaboration...

 

 

 

I am posting this here just because I know that if the usually guy(s) polute in the Threads can be here but never go there, so I'm safe.

But for the one(s) that says or think that I am just posting screens this is an example how I usually work when I colaborate with programmers (and still need all the chars, charsets,... stuff. How many Nights more?).

No need to prove anything but I am so glad where I get (as I always are when I get these things and someone interested) that I just couldn't resist to share it here:

Thanks for your attention and sorry for that so long Post(s) but it was really needed (and that's just the begining)

Greetings.

I didn't know what title you're writing about until I got to the very end of your post and clicked link Neither title nor post itself contains the word Barbarian, geez

From the first post untill the last one you always have screens that have the large letters logo with the name Barbarian.

And just seeing the screens isn't enough?

Is there anyone that after seeing the screens, even if without logo don't know it's Barbarian?

[Jacques]

One thing: I meant your post here on A.Age

 

Subject: "Not intend to but...",

No "Barbarian" name anywhere in it and only formatwar link at the bottom.

 

It really helps to give threads some sensible titles and name the game you're writing about.

Just for comfort of search, reading, etc. Otherwise TLDR syndromme may occur and if someone in the future would look for threads related to Barbarian... Guess what

Precisely.

It's not good form to expect people to click links to have to find out what the thread is about.

 

Another day, another mockup really.

A few hours work on static screens doesn't equal a proof-of-concept.

 

Wishful thinking and constant posting doesn't get game programmers started.

 

Personally, I'm glad we've had the influx of original games or at least conversions of modern casual games like Ridiculous Reality, Line Runner, Yoomp and the like.

Given the choice I'd probably take 1 "new" game rather than two or three "conversions".

I am with Rybags. Just recently I posted somewhere my opinion about conversion.

However, I can understand the desire to have some conversions from a technical point of view. After all, converting "Creatures 2" was the incentive for me to learn 6502.

What exactly is this post about? Is it for the game Barbarian? That has already been translated to 8-bit cart hasn't it. What is different than that version?
