Yopaz IceStar : New puzzle game for JagCD

[Orion_]

First of all, for those who are waiting Philia, don't worry, it's close to the release, I should receive the CDs from the factory very soon.
But in the meantime, I'm still working hard on the JagCD to port another game:

Yopaz IceStar, a puzzle game that you can see as the sequel to DiamJag

You play as a little character named Yopaz and you must collect all the stars in the universe,
but the vacuum of space forces you to slide indefinitely when you run in one direction.
Only an ice wall will stop you in your tracks!
With this unusual constraint, you will need to collect all stars on each level.

This puzzle game features 40 levels in 3 worlds

Local highscore to beat the best time with your friends

and Infinite levels possibility using the built in Level Editor !

In comparison to DiamJag, Yopaz adds the world "Advanced", providing additional features for seasoned players.
You will be able to change your color and collect stars of the corresponding color!
Your color will also allow you to go through teleporters, direction changers, or even protect you from enemies!

You can watch a video of the game here (ps1 version, but the jaguar version will look the same, except that the PocketStation minigame is not available)

It will be available as a professionally pressed CD in a DVD case with a manual (just like Philia)
Please answer the poll if you are interested, Thank you

That game is looking quite nice!

[82-T/A]

I answered yes, but I've got to be honest, I would really, REALLY prefer a cartridge. I'd probably still buy it as a CD though. I just hate using my Jaguar CD player unless I absolutely HAVE to...

[Rick Dangerous]

I would like to see Elansar on Jaguar CD

[Guitari]

Looking forward to this one!

[SuperDork3000]

Yopaz IceStar? Seriously? Can we have a group vote for the title given to your next game? Looks cool though.

[Guitari]

I vote that we dont go that route considering it's already released on other platforms. I like the name personally.

[twoquickcapri]

I still have a FM Towns Marty and I want you to make an action game on it.

[walter_J64bit]

sorry. over look this post.

I don't have/never plan to have a Jag CD, however, I have to give this a thumbs up Orion.

 

As it happens, I don't particularly like Puzzle Games, but I think this looks great. I think you've taken the concept and made a very nice re-imagining of it

[im_reg]

Yes please.

what solution do you propose for this ?

No sorry I have no knowledge on Jaguar programming. I was just wondering if possible. Maybe not word it right on my first post.

[Orion_]

It's not a "programming" question, it's, how can you transfer data from a jaguar to another ? appart from tiping a lonnnnnnnnnng and boring code of letters.

you better take a picture of the level and reproduce it

[EmOneGarand]

If I had a functional JagCD (mine isn't.. ) I'd buy it. I loved Diamjag so this would be a instant sale for me.

[+CyranoJ]

Have a PC based editor... an option to make a CD.... and a load user levels option in the game.

Orion if you need a library for reading files from a CD, a friend coded a nice library, you can find it here :

Wish I had a Jag CD. Looks awesome, though!

[GroovyBee]

Somebody needs to make a SaveKey for the jag. Unfortunately, the links to Richard H.'s site are dead but an AA search will tell you all about it.

[+Stephen Moss]

I am afraid I had to vote no one this one.

Looks nice but as I believe I already have both 2D and 3D versions of Diamjag I do not feel I need what is essentially just more of the same.

[Orion_]

That's why I added the "Advanced" world which gives you a lot more than DiamJag

watch the video to see what things has been added.

[OBO]

Well, yes !

[Isgoed]

I voted for "yes".

 

Took a while for me to decide, though.... as my moneytree died last year and there are more things to come (probably) like the new Skunkboard, Philia, Songbird project, maybe something from Reboot.

 

This is all great nonetheless , but very expensive

[scobb]

Count me in
