Creature XL Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Find more details about X:8 in this blog post. Stay tuned to our Youtube Channel and Google+ page. Is it just me, or do the diagonal bullets trigger no collision? But it is still impressing to see that many sprites. Hope in the updated version thre will be more different flight paths and enemies with differnet hit-points. Though I have to admit, I skipped some parts of the vid.

José Pereira Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Is it just me, or do the diagonal bullets trigger no collision? But it is still impressing to see that many sprites. Hope in the updated version thre will be more different flight paths and enemies with differnet hit-points. Though I have to admit, I skipped some parts of the vid. Yes diagonal not working now.All is explained on the Blog. Mainly there's three things missing to release after the Contest: - diagonal shots that can hit the ground cannons - some enemys can shoot - a total of 8 large bosses and uggly creatures waves on a last level after you pass level8 You will not play with this untill the Contest but you can see all our updates at the X:8 Blog here at AA and on the YouTube channel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Pereira Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 You translate to English? I thought you'd go direct to Portuguese? It's even worse. I always translate AOnline to English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Adam+ Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It's even worse. I always translate AOnline to English. That's because translations in Google Translate are generally not direct. Polish => Portuguese goes like this: Polish => English => Portuguese. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Adam+ Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 That sounds like a ridiculous reality to me. Not really, it's an absolutely normal situation. Having for example 50 languages in a translator, you would need to implement all 1225 possible combinations (pairs) of languages to translate everything directly. It's much, much easier to make it indirect for majority of languages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 He he, I was only joking! I can see the reason for doing it indirectly. However, I would probably choose more than one base language. Translating through Spanish would be better. Yes, that would also increase the combinations. Or use Latin as the base language maybe?

+Adam+ Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 Latin? Isn't it dead enough to cause problems with translating slang or IT-related words? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snicklin Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 ... We could add a few words to Latin!!!! It might annoy the purists!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 On a different note, does anyone know the date that they will be released on the ABBUC site? And in advance, could I thank everyone for all their time and efforts for releasing your software and hardware through the site? It is great that this platform still has people releasing new stuff for it, and especially when you're not making any/much money from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Pereira Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) You all know that we have many more things to add to X:8, so is there any problem if we post the new things on our game blog here at AA and new videos at YouTube as long, of course, we don't post the files? Or any updates we can only show after the current version is voted and the ABBUC Meeting takes place in 26th of October?

My opinion is NOT to post it before the results are made public. It might manipulate the voting. Lots of changes upcoming for "Heli in the Caves" as well.

matosimi Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 also Xirius defect has many changes, more levels, more elements, more worlds, more animations, more colors, better music, sampled sfx, nonlinear story with 3 alternate endings, utilizing new graphics mode unknown to everybody. -just kiding I think you should keep your changes for yourself until voting ends. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMR Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 i've just had a thought... is there any reason why i as a games journalist can't ask the various authors of entries for advance copies to review them in Retro Gamer at all? i have to write everything a few months in advance so it'd be nice to get a head start but i don't want to get myself and/or anyone else booted from the competition! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
