+DZ-Jay Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Now, that's pixel art worthy of the Intellivision. Quite impressive. -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Now, that's pixel art worthy of the Intellivision. Quite impressive. Thanks for the compliment. There are no free tiles (GRAM cards) on that one. Nonner took it to the max! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Thanks for the compliment. There are no free tiles (GRAM cards) on that one. Nonner took it to the max! I seem to remember you mentioned before that for the top of the sign you used a MOB stretched horizontally. I can see it, only because I know it's there. It is amazing the sort of natural, almost free-form looking artwork that can actually be done in an Intellivision at the hands of a talented artist. This is proof that not every background (and specifically, these sort of "splash" title screens) have to look like patchwork, bricks, or tiles. Great work, nonner242 and GroovyBee! -dZ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Perfection takes time! How is the next street box art coming along? Haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work, nonner242 and GroovyBee! Thanks again for the compliment. Nonner went through quite a few revisions on that one. No custom tile tools needed! Its all done in nonner242's favourite art package. Although, he has asked for a tool... to count the unique tiles he's used up so far .

GroovyBee Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Perfection takes time! True! Nonner definitely has Inty art down now . Its also interesting seeing the artwork progress and how we can change it to get "more" using stretched and flipped sprites (MOBs) and GROM tiles too. How is the next street box art coming along? Fine thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeM_Intellivision Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Don't know how Nonner, GroovyBee, DZ and others do it but definitely very nice looking - another project that shows great promise - we got Christmas Carol and this would be a nice addition to the inty library one day. Keep up good work guys. Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cmart604 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Holy crap! Great work by Nonner. Groovy, you may be on to something about this being better than your "programmer art" as you call it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 As an aside, will this artwork be used on the overlays? (can't believe Jason missed asking this) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I would love to get a cart of this. Is it available? Don't worry, you haven't missed anything. Theres a ROM in the 1st post if you have a CC3 or like emulation. The game isn't a high priority at the moment but we'll pick it up again at some point.

JoeM_Intellivision Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Thanks GroovyBee - unfortunately can't access my CC3 at moment but look forward to a finished version of this whenever your busy schedule permits. Keep up good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Had fun at the retro show Play on Saturday. I decided to demo Next Street as my contribution to the Oldschool Gaming stand :- Why Next Street? Mainly because its easy to pick up and play. After seeing people struggle with the Inty controllers at last years event I thought a simple game would be much easier for people to get into. The show was "quiet" by Play standards with just over 3200 people expected for the weekend. Last years Play (where Jeff Minter played Hover Bovver) had an attendance of around 15,500 people over the weekend. A few people had a tour of my other upcoming homebrew games and mostly commented on the smooth moving, flicker free graphics and how good the machines audio is for its age. So... a big thanks to nonner242, Kiwi and Mystery Musician for making the games shine. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Well this is good news. Should I start clearing space on my homebrew shelves? Nah! Its not cart worthy yet. Theres still a few things to iron out, some bugs to fix and some more nonner242 graphics to go in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeM_Intellivision Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 GroovyBee, thanks for posting video again. Looking forward to these! Any chance of adding "Halloween" theme music at some point in game or would that take up too much memory/time? Thanks again. Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
