xxl Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 due to family affairs of one of the co-authors, the release is delayed ... but it will be finalized ? 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted January 13, 2021 Author Share Posted January 13, 2021 can't edit posts? I noticed that I didn't actually write essential stuff: 35 levels (7 planets), 9 music themes - including SID (POKEY MAX users) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted March 11, 2021 Author Share Posted March 11, 2021 Another musician for AY / YM joined the band - after inserting the SONari card you will be able to choose the music for YM2149 / AY-3-8910 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted March 12, 2021 Author Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) A lot of new content is coming to the game. The team has been joined by: POKEY Music: @Poison GFX: @TIX sample tiles in the attachment ... ? Bravo gentlemen.

ggn Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 (edited) The new graphics are certainly an improvement IMO, the graphics that the released version has make it oftentimes very difficult to distinguish foreground tiles (i.e. active) from background ones. Well done to @TIX and also to @xxl for persisting in improving this nice game :). Edited March 13, 2021 by ggn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnurrikowski Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Are the colors final? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxl Posted March 13, 2021 Author Share Posted March 13, 2021 no. Color schemes are different for each planet (7 planets) and TIX is responsible for that. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emkay Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The graphics by TIX were really a benefit. But I wonder about the sound. The AY/YM board could sound like real music, but people prefer that low sounding. It's okay, but... Why has POKEY always to sound like a crimped scrotum? Why no low sounding tune for Pokey?

xxl Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 in short, the cartridge has two AY / YM chips (both are stereo) left: d560 - register selection d561 - write to the register right: d562 - register selection d563 - write to the register http://atariki.krap.pl/index.php/SONari 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxl Posted March 15, 2021 Author Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) the demonstration with the player (and the source code) is ready and just waiting for the editor's publication (yes, there is a music editor with SONari support) ... it was supposed to be yesterday but there is a delay. a big surprise is coming ?

danwinslow Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I'm fascinated with how much focus you guys put on the sound tracks for things. I mostly find them annoying, especially if they play constantly throughout the game. That's just me, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
