+CyranoJ Posted March 11, 2013 Author Share Posted March 11, 2013 Still don't like the physics . Maybe up on the d-pad should also be thrust as well? Well, no shock there - they haven't changed Up - can do But remember, it's a Jagpad, not a precision micro switched thingamy-whatsit. Expect cludginess!

+CyranoJ Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 Fixed the 'floating fuel' and the rocket flashing issues, also tightened up the inertia a bit, and made up an alias for thrust - Maybe GB will be happy now?

+CyranoJ Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 sh3 was quite correct - you couldn't shoot some of the baddies. This was a typo in the laser object generation code not flagging the object as 'can hit' to raptor. I've fixed it in my builds, next binary posted will have this corrected. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walter_J64bit Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Wow, more games for the Jag! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Mr three has painted some nice pixels, now the only graphics to replace are the fuel pods and the space ship. No binary, but here's a picture 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Oh, go on then. Have a binary to play with. Not sure what we'll add next. sh3 has designed a bunch of enemies and graphics for the backdrop, so possibly work on more enemy types... or maybe start on the particle effects. Who knows?

masematte Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Wow look Great, and i played it around 20 Screens, . i like the music it would be Great when there are different Screens, not the Background , but the Plattforms.

108 Stars Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 Damn, you guys are fast. So much progress within a couple of days! And sh3-rg, that's a fancy background. Being used to hardware that has such a low res and so few colors that you usually put in pixel per pixel I must admit I wouldn't even know how to do something so colorful on a PC. Now what's the story of this? You started this 20 years ago and gave up or what? And now out of some mood you get this game so much further within a few days!? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now out of some mood you get this game so much further within a few days!? 20 year old version was done really quickly to get used to the Jaguar after getting my developer kit. Not surprisingly, it's crap. This is just me deciding that I wanted to do a proper version (ie, one that doesn't play like shit) using the RAPTOR engine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now out of some mood you get this game so much further within a few days!? When CJ was handed a Jaguar dev kit he decided to make JetPac. It took a couple of days, used gfx ripped from a spectrum emulator by screen grabbing and it played terribly :-) A couple of years ago CJ & I secretly planned to remake the game and do it properly but didn't get very far before we got distracted and went off doing something else. Then for some reason last week CJ decided to start all over again and this time he's got a bit further. Some of the gfx used so far I've drawn in the last few days, others are recycled form other games that didn't make it (e.g. 2 of the the foreground plaent surfaces, some enemies) and are used directly or adapted and CJ found some stuff on the svn repo that I didn't even remember making Bah, CJ just replied before I finished... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CyranoJ Posted March 16, 2013 Author Share Posted March 16, 2013 Ok, so now all the horrible ZX craptrum graphics are gone, replaced with glorious 16 bit pixels! I've increased the enemy spawn rate, added explosions, tweaked a few things, made the backdrops generate from ascii maps (instead of hand drawn bitmaps) and added the particle engine (for the rocket fuel) Lots more *bling* to add, but it's really getting there now.

GroovyBee Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I think it needs more asteroids on screen at once and I'm still not getting on with the physics . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
