Nice looking start. Go get em, Rev!

[pimpmaul69]

Those backgrounds look damn good. I am impressed

Didn't Opcode start that for his Intellivision super game module,maybe? It looks great,and would be an awesome addition to the system.

I think it's Lathe26.

Man, that's so much better than something which osn't real Intellivision hardware. Hopefully the game gets completed.

On the programmers channel is another video. Is that MARIO? Ha! Looks kinda like a Miner.

Great looking games... and hopefully coming soon.

 

Definitely a call for a legitimate plug-in style 8-way 2-button joystick for the INTY if they do come out.

You won't have much left of your thumbs using the standard controller playing these games... ouch!!

No, I sleep in a sealed cryogenic chamber. Those sounds are carefully crafted Intellivoice sounds.

Looks interesting thats for sure. 👍🏻

Very cool!!

I do remember opcode was going to make Castlevania and then he stop making it to focus on a hardware add on. I don't know the exact status, so I'm just letting you know.

I have made Castlevania 2 mock up.

Hope he does continue and complete this game. It's really cool!

Wow, that WIP would run on the standard (non-ECS) system?

[TandyVision]

OMG! Castlevania rules! How do I get this?

Hello, thanks everyone for the compliments on my Castlevania project. It is nice to see so much enthusiasm towards something that started out as something just to learn various IntyBASIC commands. The original character in the first video was from the game Spelunker, which was what I started out trying to mimic, but then as I continued making mock up art, decided to go for Castlevania instead.

 

The game is not taking advantage of ECS or anything special. The limitations are becoming more clear with enemy design and the 8 sprite limit. (2 sprites used for the character, 1 for the whip, leaving 5 for enemies and projectiles, however things like candles, hearts, and secondary weapons would not be possible at this point, so I may make additional sacrifices). So far with one song, and 4 very short and basic stages, the project compiled weighs in at 26kb. I could see space becoming another issue.

 

I have not had as much time the past week to make much progress over what was shown in that last video, as I have been messing around more with music on the Intellivision which you can see on my channel. In another thread on the Intellivision Programming forum I released some of the work in progress music if anyone wants to take a look. In the future I will try to get a small demo created for everyone to play with as well as uploading the source code once I get things cleaned up more.

[Rev]

Id suggest not uploading the source code. 😜

[nanochess]

Space yet not a problem. Your game can reach 84kb 😉

[skywaffle]

It did not take long before hitting that 16kb mark which I had thought would have ended development. It was not until finding that 42k demo in the Contrib folder that helped overcome that. I can't imagine that taking too long to reach though once level maps are a more reasonable length. Is there a different technique required to get to 84kb?
