GroovyBee Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 I'm glad you all like the intro. The end credits will be coded this weekend. The first two screens took quite a bit of work and capture the spirit of the original artwork that nonner242 did. Both screens use all 64 BACKTAB cards (tiles) and 8 MOBs (sprites) and the title page makes heavy use of the GROM cards as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Groovybee, its time to change the logo under under your name. It says 7800 developer!!!! It should say Bacon developer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 FYI, Baconator is trademarked by Wendys. If any of their lawyers are Intelly fans you could be in serious trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 "CAPT. BACON" would work with the letters available. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+DZ-Jay Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I know that it's intended as an inside joke, but I personally think the game has a really cool concept without cheezing it out with bacon references. Just my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 The game's credits page (programmer, artist etc.) has been added to the attract sequence. Its simple to add more names to it so I'm calling the "attract sequence" done now . On to the high score initials entry next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 gameplay Nothing has changed in the game play since the teaser ROM was released apart from collecting fuel pods as they fall. I'm going to implement a few ideas to make the game more challenging in the final version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 You can always leave out or replace The. All the font characters are individual tiles (to save GRAM space) so I could only lose the "H" from "THE" because "T" and "E" are also used in the rest of the words.

GroovyBee Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Today's update :- - Fixed bugs with yesterdays code. - Added support for different coloured planet surfaces to add some variety. - High score initials entry screen with working cursor. - The new graphics for the bonus items have arrived but are not in the game yet. Tomorrow I'll finish off the initials entry screen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
