GroovyBee Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Making good progress on the game today. Just a few bugs to track down and the fuel pods and rocket take off sequence to put in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Just reworking the player and platform collision detection so that you can slide around them instead of "sticking" then its on to rocket launching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Can you tease us with a few pics ? I'm still trying to get the teaser ROM out. I think my brain needs some caffeine to wipe out a few more bugs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rev Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Hey, GB, of course we are supposed to express our interest to purchase this game in this thread, but are we supposed to pay? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 "Rocketeer Weekend" is almost over (UK time ) and the game has come a long way but still isn't ready for a teaser ROM. Sorry guys'n'gals . This is a little *.gif video :- <---- Click to animate - May take a while to load too The game play is far smoother in emulation and on a real PAL machine. I still need to fix the bug(s) in the fire left code and add falling fuel pods and rocket take off before I'll be happy to put a teaser ROM out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 The good news is that it works on NTSC machines as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maximebeauvais Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 Pay and find out. payment was sent last week. i understand that GB is selling only a cart but why people are talking about box, manual...etc? i'm like a woman, all confused LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted March 3, 2013 Share Posted March 3, 2013 payment was sent last week. i understand that GB is selling only a cart but why people are talking about box, manual...etc? i'm like a woman, all confused LOL It's a joke. Groovy said there won't be a boxed release and the thread focused on how cool the box would be. Someone should bring in the Bacon Hammer before Groovy gets pissed and leaves us without even the cart. :omg: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not the least bit bothered about the constant lobbying. Its a free world and people can fantasise/dream/wish about whatever they want. It doesn't mean its going to come true.

maximebeauvais Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 So if I understand, there will be a CIB special edition I'm in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 So if I understand, there will be a CIB special edition If CIB stands for Cart Invisible Box then you are correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 If CIB stands for Cart Invisible Box then you are correct. That kind of box can be expensive to produce - you should gouge interest to see what people are willing to pay for one. I'll take 5 (boxes, not minutes). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fushek Posted March 4, 2013 Share Posted March 4, 2013 In a dramatic turn of events, Groovybee announces a CIB version of Rocketman available ONLY to those who haven't annoyed the hell out of him by requesting it constantly. (BTW, Groovybee, I haven't requested it ... just sayin') 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
