New release: Cloudy with a chance of metaballs!

[ggn]

Willemsoord, The Netherlands, May 14th - 17th. Outline demo party \o/.

 

Reboot was there and submitted a demo for the competitions. It competed in the "realtime wild demo" category, which means was against various other productions in diverse platforms. Our demo managed to rank first!

 

Anyway, enough text, download the .ROM file . Note: it needs 60hz display so only pal60 or ntsc. Also make sure that if your emulator actually runs at 60fps or the syncing will be quite off - in our experience if virtualjaguar reports 62.something fps then the result will be wrong. Also you can visit the pouet and demozoo pages if you like.

 

Finally, for the really lazy people (i.e. 99% of everyone ) here's a youtube video that has a capture from the real machine (try 720 or 1080p for 60fps, chrome or firefox should work):

 

 

Hope you enjoy our modest contribution that was made in Raptor Basic+ by sh3!.

That's right, written in BASIC - now head over to the programming section and show us what YOU can make!

[Albert]

Very cool, and thanks for posting the video. Awesome that this was written in BASIC--I wonder how many such demos can claim that?

[Hyperboy]

That is f'n wicked!!

[Rick Dangerous]

Awesome. Very cool visual effects!

[Ayreon]

Concrats SH3. Really nice demo!

 

( Did I spot coder colours? not bad for a gfx men )

[+Darrin9999]

Very cool!

We need a burnable version to demo at PRGE and SRGE. This is the year of the Jag at these events.

I am planning on bringing at least one Jaguar to PRGE (if I attend, which I am leaning towards), and could bring more than one.

[Paul Westphal]

I hope you come Al. PRGE gets bigger every year. This year I will have two jag cd's for sale, and three new consoles, with a bunch of ( good) new carts and CD's. I'm currently doing a bunch of 600xl's with 64k and monitor port. 1200xl's, 800xl's and new XEGS will also be there. I will have a 800xl with ultimate 1mb running Numen and other various demos, and a stereo 600xl.

[Paul Westphal]

David Crane and Gary Kitchen should be visiting the booth for a while ( unconfirmed, but likely. They did last year )

I hope you come Al. PRGE gets bigger every year.

I'm trying to make it a bit easier on myself by not having to drag a TON of displays out to the show. In particular, I am looking for Commodore 1702 monitors and 20"+ TVs (preferably Sony Trinitrons with composite and/or s-video inputs). I'll probably ship in advance 20+ s-video/composite modified 2600, 5200, and 7800 systems (as well as Jaguars and Atari 8-bit computers, but those don't need to be modified).

Very cool effort, and a nice demo!

Maybe, with it being the year of the Jag and all, people will finally work out you can't burn ROMs to CD-R. But I doubt it.

[Christos]

Great demo, and finally 1vbl goodness. Looking forward to the next reboot demo!

[Otto1980]

cannot upload on skunk.. choosed 2th bank with standard params

after the nice upload colors the screen flashes yellow over and over

after waiting some minutes i reset the jag.. choosed 2th bank with dpad down.. nothing happens (black screen)

 

did i make a mistake?

[+CyranoJ]

did i make a mistake?

 

Obviously, yes.

[Paul Westphal]

Well since you are a developer and all, maybe you should make all your games in ROM format so you can alienate people with a CD drive. There should be a way to convert it. And while were at it, why don't you put the finished SoulStar in ROM as well.

[neo_rg]

The game has been finished. The videos were cleaned up, and Soulstar is now complete. The people responsible are sitting on it because of " copyright " issues, but if you ask me, they are just being dicks.

[+CyranoJ]

There should be a way to convert it.

 

Patches welcome...

[Tweety]

I love these types of demo's, I have a lot on disc's for the Atari ST/E/Falcon.

There are just not enough of these demo's around.

[Clint Thompson]

Ha! That's pretty cool... really loved the intro!

[guSTaw]

Great demo

[ovalbugmann]

Great Jag Demo! That's nice work, cool little dancergirl there too.

 

Thanks for the binary.
