ZylonBane Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Well now, no need to rush to call something done when people have barely had a chance to stress test it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iesposta Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 How much K do you have left for samples? Here is Fighter Pilots Needed in Sector War clipped at the end. This is in 4K from an 8 bit wav file at 3500 sample rate. Fighter.bin I don't know how you program speech on the 7800, but this is quite simple. Fighter.asm There is a pearl script that outputs the data: (It didn't like the file ending in .pl so I zipped it.) wav2atari.pl.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Any artwork finished for the cart label ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Allan Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I found a bug. When playing two player the second player got stuck repeating the last wave (meteors? coming strait down) of the first level and the ship docking. It would just keeping repeating these two waves. My son was playing and he didn't mind because he kept racking up points. Allan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynz Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I could probably do something for cart and cover artwork. The actual arcade marquee and cabinet art aren't that impressive, though... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariBrian Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I wish I could get some testing in . Give 2 player games a good go guys for testing ... and ofcourse single player mode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi Guys: @iesposta - Listened to your sample - it sounds a little more muffled than the one I'm using. (Thank you though) @Allan - Hey! Thanks for finding that. I'll make sure I can reproduce it and figure it out. @AtariBrian - Yes, there is artwork... just not showing yet. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Are the fireballs on the asteroid level appearring with the correct frequency? I was watching a high score video and there never seemed to be a moment where there wasn't a fireball streaking down the screen during the asteroid level. I ask because I get to the end of sector 3 with low fuel and I don't seem to ever get any fireballs to shoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted January 7, 2014 Author Share Posted January 7, 2014 I will double check when I get home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thevnaguy Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 this guy is awesome! cant wait for this to release on a cart it will look nice next to my boxed frenzy cart I picked up at PRGE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PacManPlus Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 @thevnaguy - Thanks! @Gabriel - try this one; it has more fireballs. AstBlstr.A78 AstBlstr.bin 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinks Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Just one problem. Needs more cowbell!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 That did the trick. I was finally able to barely squeak by on fuel and get to Sector 4, and then die horribly. That little tweak has also made the asteroid field feel a bit more arcade like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaynz Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 So, I screwed up going for the 'paint scraper' docking bonus and blew up my 1st ship. This resulted in immediate 'game over' despite having the full rack of ships. You don't just lose a life in this case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Nope. Failed docking or running out of fuel results in a game over regardless of how many ships you have left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edweird13 Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Thats the one thing that made this game hard and also great BITD. Its fuel plus lives. Like having a timer with multiple lives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Very fun fast paced game! I am playing this on real 7800 hardware. Might loan the socketed pcb to my buddy AtariBrian to do some testing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 One thing I noticed playing with the Euro pad, is that swapping the left and right buttons would be a huge plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Like I said in the previous post it would be fantastic to be able to swap the buttons on the Euro controller so that button 2 was fire and button 1 was warp. My girlfriend was playing and I asked her and she agreed...she said she loved it and that it reminded her of mega mania. Very cool game. Perhaps use the difficulty switch to swap the fire buttons?

Options are always a good thing and especially for controls . Im sure if its a possibility Bob will try and fit them in . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Is Pepper II your next arcade port by chance? I love it on the ColecoVision and I don't think it was ported to any other home consoles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Yurkie Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 This maybe a stupid ? But could you make the game 64k instead of 48k and add more speech? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
