Tanooki Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Wow that's great but even more so SUCKS at the same time. After so long having an updated new NGPC emulator, yet it's stuck being bound to that piece of trash catch all picky mess that is retroarch. I'll check their page after this, hopefully they have a stand alone build. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Charlie Cat Posted January 14, 2020 Author Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, Great article with me and Atariage member Adriano Arcade that we think that you'll enjoy. Hugo from Sylph Arcade dedicated his time with us regrading his upcoming title, "Arcade Battlers" ( Now renamed "Dragon Blazers") will be available for the consumer to play. If all goes well, this has the potential to be a future Neo-Geo title. Enjoy. Arcade Attack@arcadeattackUK 2h We've been a bit quiet on the ol' #indiedev/#gamedev of late so thought we'd better break the silence with the excellent Arcade Battlers from @SylphArcade , an action platformer where you can line up mega combos! Check our feature here: https://arcadeattack.co.uk/arcade-battlers-sylph-arcade/… #retrogaming Arcade Attack Arcade Battlers (Sylph Arcade) – Indie feature arcadeattack27th Dec 2019 AA Articles https://www.arcadeattack.co.uk/arcade-battlers-sylph-arcade/ There’s a glut of excellent retro indie games being developed at the moment and Arcade Battlers from Sylph Arcade will continue this one its scheduled release mid-next year. To get the inside scoop Adrian and Anthony chatted to Hugo from Sylph Arcade about what will make Arcade Battlers stand out. To keep an eye on the project you can follow Hugo on Twitter. Can you give our readers a quick background of Sylph Arcade? Our goal is to develop games as good as good old ones back in the NES/SNES/SEGA/NEOGEO days, especially in the japanese style. What inspired you to create an indie development company Hugo? Was it always on your mind to do so? I always wanted to do it since I was a child. Is Arcade Battlers the first game you have worked on, and if not, which other titles have you created? Bad School Boy, a puzzle game on Steam, not that bad but not that good neither, don’t buy it, lol! Jar Battlers, a smash game, I’m going to remove it from Steam don’t buy it neither!! lol! Actually, Arcade Battlers heroes was invented in Jar Battlers, but the mechanic is totally different. Arcade Battlers looks incredibly fun and frantic. Can you explain what sort of game our readers can expect to see? My goal here is to make a cool rythm’d arcade style game, that’s not a metroidvania or open world exploration game, but an action platformer full of action, very handy and intuitive. You should (be able to) master the gameplay within one minute, but always discovering new cool stuff & features. It could look like a beat’em up and like a kind of platformish Double Dragon at moments, and then more like a Goemong Gambare/Mario-like action platformer in some other moments. What features and game mechanics will help your game stand out? The main special mechanic is the air combo bouncing system. What is cool too is that you can do several attacks with only one button, depending on the direction and the situation, in the air and on floor (only 2 attack buttons, the normal attack and the super attack). I’m also happy with that new corner hanging feature, I prefer it than the usual wall jump. You’ll be able to buy weapons and other stuff during the game, weapons will change the gameplay a bit, if you attack an enemy in the air with a saber for example, you’ll pass through him, instead of bouncing as usual with the air kick. You’ve got 3 characters + 3 unlockable characters (unlockable during the game). Finally, I do my best to capture that old Manga-ish Japanese style, used in so many old games, but so much used in neo retro indies. And note the kinda Japanese voices too, made on my own, I’m proud of them haha! What classic retro titles helped inspire Arcade Battlers? 1- Goemon Gambare 2 2- Shinobi III 3- Sparkster, Strider, Blue’s journey… all those mixed up with Toriyama style. My gameplay is kinda different from those, but I hope that’s for the best! When do you hope to see Arcade Battlers released to the public and will it be available on modern or retro consoles? Within 2020 it should be available, as the development is going pretty fast. I’m planning new consoles for sure, old consoles would be amazing too, hopefully I’ll be able to do it. What are your plans for the future? Do you have any other games in the pipeline? There is that metroidvania I started a long time ago but unfortunately never finished, called Dragoon, maybe I’ll go back to it. I’m also dreaming of a versus game, inspired by Kizuna Encounters, I tried some sprites some months ago (below). What advice would you give to anyone looking to develop their own indie game? So if you wanna make retro style game, I have 3 golden rules (which I didn’t respect in my first attempts) 1 – Keep it simple & fun – means handy intuitive and not punitive. 2 – Attractive style – means heroes, enemies and world has got to look cool, and story too if there is one. 3- Good level design – this rule makes the other two come alive. Uou could have the best graphics and stylish characters in a cool world and it would be nothing without a good level design. And designing a good level is not that simple! Then, still if you looking for retro style, better use Godot or GM at least for video display options, as Construct is limited for this. I’m currently porting all the game to Godot, learning it all. What are your top 3 games of all time? 1- Goemon Gambare 2 (SNES) 2- Battle of Olympus (NES) 3- Kizuna Encounters (Neo-Geo) If you had the opportunity to hire any iconic video game character to work with Sylph Arcade, who would that be and why? Goemon!! Or Chrono but in a platformer game! (Enki looks a bit like Chrono lol…just a bit haha!) If you could share a few drinks with a video game character, who would you choose and why? Ryu Hayabusa, let’s learn some ninja techniques! Adrian & Anthony Now go check out Anthony’s Official Neo-Geo thread on Atariage! Anthony..

+Charlie Cat Posted January 16, 2020 Author Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Hi guys, Boy are we in for a treat. AtariAge member PikoInteractive is having a Kickstarter on their last project of Jim Powers for the NES, SNES, Genesis, TurboGrafx-16 and CD32. If all goes well and exceeds it's goal, the possibility of a whole new Jim Power game for the Neo-Geo has the chance to become a reality. WOW!! Search Project We LoveVideo GamesSan Antonio, TX All or nothing. This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Fri, February 14 2020 10:20 AM EST. Jim Power - A NES, SNES, Genesis, Turbografx and CD32 Game! A New NES, Sega Genesis/Megadrive game! With re-releases for SNES, Turbografx CD and CD32! Campaign FAQ Updates 0 Comments 18 Community Back this project Remind me STORY RISKS AND CHALLENGES Story Back Story of the Project In 2014 we decided to acquire the license of the Amiga classic game Jim Power to develop a version of the game for NES. When we finalized the licensing agreement, the original programmers sent us a batch of files and assets of the game. To our surprise, in those folders, we found a fully playable Sega Genesis version of Jim Power In the Lost Dimension. We started development for NES version right away. We developed tools, engine, and assets from scratch. We planned to release the project in 2016. Unfortunately in 2016, as we started emailing the original creator about the progress of the game for approval, we stopped hearing back from him. We waited for responses for over a year, so we kept delaying the release. Unfortunately, in 2018, we found out that the original creator of Jim Power had passed away in 2016. This complicated things for the project, as we needed certain permissions for what we wanted to do with the game release. We then started working with the original creator's partner and his estate to fully acquire the rights of Jim Power IP. Around September 2019, we acquired full rights of Jim Power intellectual properties, which would allow us to work with the property as we wanted and release the game without complications. Jim Power NES was built from scratch by popular NES programmer Shiru. He developed level design tools, as well as graphics conversion tools. He also developed the game engine from scratch. Jim Power NES was NOT made by any sort of game maker program; so the quality of the product is far superior. With this port, we'd like to reach a much higher bar quality as far as NES game releases. Our acquisition of the Jim Power IP now allows us to produce other kind of projects/media with the character and story. The Stretch Goals list will reflect what sort of other projects we'd like to envision for Jim Power! The Game, The Media, and The Software Jim Power is a shoot'em up game similar to Mega Man, Turrican, Contra and the like. There is a bit of a split story of the game, as two different versions were made that share the same enemies, bosses, level designs, and soundtrack. In Jim Power Mutant Planet, Jim Power is sort of John MClane type detective, which is called in to rescue the president's daughter who has been captured by an evil monster and taken to Mutant Planet. In Jim Power in Lost Dimension, which portrays Jim Power as an Intergalactic Soldier, Jim travels to a 5th dimension to stop an evil monster called Vaprak from invading and destroying earth. Game cartridges will be produced with high quality parts and materials. We will use either 5V compatible integrated circuits, or level shifters to ensure there are no worries from backers that the PCBs may damage their consoles. Also, the cart pins will be gold and beveled (to avoid death grip). The PCBs (as always for Piko) will use gold plated pins. The CDs will be pressed professionally. In the case of TurboGrafx CD, they will be pressed at the slowest speed. This Kickstarter campaign will offer 5 different physical versions of Jim Power, they all will be available on day one! Jim Power In The Lost Dimension for NES - Developed from scratch port by our team. Jim Power in The Lost Dimension for Sega Genesis - Unreleased game fully playable. Jim Power in The Lost Dimension for SNES - A reworked version of the original SNES version. This version has a lot of improvements and polishing. For example, the dizzy inverted parallax scroll is removed. Also, the game features a hit system, which balances the difficulty of the game. Other additions, like level screens, and different endings have been included on this version. Jim Power Mutant Planet for Amiga CD32 - A Conversion of the Amiga version for the Amiga CD32 console. This version will feature the TurboGrafx Soundtrack (as it is CD quality music). It will also include the DOS version for you to plan on your Windows computer. Amiga cover art will change to a new version. Jim Power Mutant Planet for TurboGrafx CD - A Japan Exclusive PC Engine game, finally available worldwide. Turbografx CD cover art will change to a new version. We have put together some great stretch goals that reflect our future vision for Jim Power Intellectual Property! 1.- If we reach $65,000 we will produce Jim Power #1 Comic Book. A 24 page full color comic book written by Kevin Roditeli. This stretch goal would be included for free to all Special Edition Backers. 2.- If we reach $80,000 we will produce Jim Power #2 Comic Book. A 24 page full color comic book. This stretch goal would be included for free to all Special Edition Backers. 3.- If we reach $95,000 we will produce Jim Power #3 Comic Book. A 24 page full color comic book. This stretch goal would be included for free to all Special Edition Backers. 4.- If we reach $140,000 we will produce a Jim Power Famicom and Super Famicom completely in Japanese with Japanese Art Style and Japanese Box Dimensions. This Stretch Goal would be free for Special Edition Backers of $400+ Tiers; it will be available for sale at discount to other Special Edition Backers. 5.- If we reach $180,000 we will put Jim Power Lost Dimension on Nintendo Switch and PSN digital Stores. This would be based on the Sega Genesis version of the game. This stretch goal would be included for free to all Special Edition Backers. 6.- If we reach $300,000 we will produce Jim Power Lost Dimension Switch and PS4 In Physical Format and in Limited Quantities . This would be based on the Sega Genesis Version of the game. This stretch goal would be included for free to all Backers of $200+ Tiers, for other Special Edition Backers it will be sold at discount. 7.- If we reach $350,000 we will produce Jim Power Arcade Game. This would be a New Jim Power game for Neo Geo. This game would be whole new entry into the Jim Power series with new levels, enemies, bosses, and soundtrack. Due to the high cost of producing Neo Geo Cartridges, this stretch goal would not be included for free to special edition backers. However, a discounted version would be available for purchase to all Special Edition Backers, and regular priced to the public. 8.- If we reach $550,000 we will produce a 22 minute Jim Power Animated Cartoon Pilot Episode In Both English and Spanish dub. This stretch goal would be included for free to all Special Edition Backers. 9.- If we reach $700,000 instead of 22 minutes, we will produce a 40-minute Jim Power Animated cartoon Special in Both English and Spanish dub. This stretch goal would be included for free to all Special Edition Backers (digitally). 10.- if we reach $1,050,000.00 instead of a 40 minute Jim Power Animated cartoon Special, we will produce a 75 minute Jim Power OVA in both English and Spanish dub this stretch goal would be included for free to all Special Edition Backers (digitally). More Stretch Goals will be revealed as others are reached! Thank you for reading, and please back our project! Remember, every pledge done on the Campaign, helps us bring more similar projects in the future, such as Glover and Dragon Sword. If this kickstarter doesn't offer something you particularly like, please share it with someone that you know that may wan to back it! Every little bit helps! Special Thanks to the Velez Family, VdDev Games, Omar Carrillo (intro music), and Dane Jacobs (animated intro). In Loving Memory if Fernando Velez, may he Rest in Peace. Risks and challenges The only risks that we foresee on this product, is having hiccups on the production of certain stretch goals. If by any chance there is a problem with any of the products. We will offer the backers other alternative stretch goals. Due to the current political and trade climate, there may be delays in certain products or materials as the rates and costs fluctuate. We'll keep the backers informed if there are any delays, and when/how are they going to be resolved. Anthony...

retrorussell Posted January 16, 2020 Share Posted January 16, 2020 Hey folks, Another SNK game review-- this is the weird BERMUDA TRIANGLE, also known as WAR OF WORLDS. Released in 1987 (and 1988 in the US), this is a vertically scrolling shmup with an odd weapon power up system. Increasing your energy meter enough will allow you new firepower upgrades, up to 4. You can pick up little option fighters as well, and you can rearrange their position. You time travel to various different eras in history, and a weird black hole can appear on occasion that will warp you-- if you touch it-- to some sort of negative universe (?) that you can't escape from unless you die! Also, the game scrolls up.. then scrolls down.. then back up before you face the boss of the stage! Weird, weird game; but it has very nice graphics and challenging action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
