Shadow of the Colossus VCS

Holding the fire button down will get you to the inventory, the overworld is bird's eye view, locations are sideview.

 

 

This game will once again need a complete overhaul so here's the source to ver 2

SOTC ver II.bas

Very good. Will be keeping an eye on this.

I dig the running animation. The giant in the background is excellent, too. Can't wait to see more functionality, but it seems like a very good start!

Added latest updates to first post.

Worked on 1x,2x,4x,8x aspect ratio. Now I can put the correct scale size of a colossus

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

No backup?

[+Gemintronic]

One of the nice side benefits of sharing your source code on AtariAge is that it effectively becomes a backup "in the cloud". That sucks that there's nothing to scavenge here :/

I recovered all the files from my old hard drive from my last laptop. The latest build was from May the next will be a new engine.

Working for the last week or so on a inventory controller. Also tried coding a Super Chip version but the playfield was taking too much time to draw so it got scrapped for now. The inventory works and is in a test program which you can check out here. The bow is not quite ready yet, sword and agro work but no animation has been added yet

 

To change inventory object hold fire button for a few seconds and a missile will (magically) appear above the score press left or right to select object then press fire again to activate that item.

 

inventory test.bin

 

I'm not sure if it was the best way to code it but it works and the source might help someone making an RPG or Adventure game.

Working for the last week or so on a inventory controller. Also tried coding a Super Chip version but the playfield was taking too much time to draw so it got scrapped for now.

I glanced at your code and it looks like you might be constantly redoing the playfield data for the whole playfield instead of doing it just one time. Once the playfield is on the screen, you don't have to put playfield data on the screen again until you need to change it.

 

So instead of something like this:

---

__Main_Loop

   gosub __PF01

   drawscreen

   goto __Main_Loop


__PF01

   playfield:
   .X.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.X..
   .X.X.XXXXXX.XXXXXXX.XXXXXX.X.X..
   .X.X.XX.XX...XXXXX...XX.XX.X.X..
   .X.X.X...X...XXXXX...X...X.X.X..
   .X.X.X...X...XXXXX...X...X.X.X..
   .X.X.X...X...X...X...X...X.X.X..
   .X.X.X...X...XXXXX...X...X.X.X..
   ..XXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXX...
   XXXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXX.
   ................................
   ................................
end

   return

---

 

You'd do something like this instead:

---

   gosub __PF01


__Main_Loop

   drawscreen

   goto __Main_Loop


__PF01

   playfield:
   .X.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.X..
   .X.X.XXXXXX.XXXXXXX.XXXXXX.X.X..
   .X.X.XX.XX...XXXXX...XX.XX.X.X..
   .X.X.X...X...XXXXX...X...X.X.X..
   .X.X.X...X...XXXXX...X...X.X.X..
   .X.X.X...X...X...X...X...X.X.X..
   .X.X.X...X...XXXXX...X...X.X.X..
   ..XXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXX...
   XXXX.XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.XXXX.
   ................................
   ................................
end

The latest build (still a work in progress)

SOTC alpha V.bin

[triverse]

Just wanted to let you know that I made a short video of the update and published an article talking about it on my website.

Thanks I worked some more on it this weekend. If all goes well I should have a Colossus battle ready by the next update. Here's the latest build:

SOTC alpha XI.bin

[ultima]

Here is my latest copy while I get cracking on this colossus. As a work in progress (insert large yawn here) it lacks music (though some is written already) and sound fx. no winning condition yet, cant die, collision bugs(dang I forgot to buy Raid) and nothing is polished.

 

 

hold fire button down for 4 seconds to activate inventory

reset switch restarts game (not during intro movies)

 

SOTC alpha build XII.bin

 

Hope to have the first colossus battle done this weekend (we shall see)

Late post but did manage to kill the 16th colossus Malus. Unfortunately till my bB gets up and running again I can't update the collision detection so it's still the "rub the wall and get sucked in" style. Also the score graphics are from sword of iffrit.
