+Muddyfunster Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 (edited) Tyre Trax is a "clock racer" inspired by some of my favourite Activision games like Barnstorming and Grand Prix. It is programmed in bB using the DPC+ kernel It's pretty much complete and I wanted to throw a note in here in the hope folks might give it a test ride For best enjoyment, add friends and beers (not included)., I've added a few screen grabs below and there is a full thread over in the Bb Forum Instructions : Playing Right now there are 8 game modes are present to try out. Tournament Game 1 : Summertime - nice and simple, learn to play (15 obstacles) Game 2 : Sunset - bit more challenging with more obstacles. (20 obstacles) Game 3 : Winter - hard, (25 obstacles) - rocks start a bit closer as visibility is lower ! Game 4: Night Time : more stuff, lower visibility, (30 obstacles) Freeplay / Random (30 obstacles) Game 5: as game 1 but with random obstacle generation Game 6 :as game 2 but with random obstacle generation Game 7 :as game 3 but with random obstacle generation Game 8 :as game 4 but with random obstacle generation Difficulty Switches (only work on modes 5 to 8 ) Left : B = Easy mode (obstacles appear further away) - A= Hard mode (Obstacles appear closer- less time to react) Right B= Easy obstacles (all combinations appear) : A - Tough obstacles (only hard combos appear). Controls Fire or Reset to start after selecting your game. Fire to accelerate Release Fire to coast and slow down gradually Left for brakes to slow down quickly If you hit an obstacle you get slowed down to a crawl (costing you time) You need a fast time to win the gold cup, too slow? you get the turd prize.. Oh and stay out of the water.. Edit 17th Feb 2019 : Below is footage from the final version V295x version, complete with title tune (credit to Rushjet1 for his musical magic) and some other tweaks for the passing sound: tyre_trax_p60_v273.bin tyre_trax_ntsc_v273.bin Edited February 17, 2019 by Muddyfunster 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevKelley Posted December 15, 2018 Share Posted December 15, 2018 I have been following this development and have to say the appearance is beautiful. This is one nice looking game. I look forward to playing it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 This was interesting. The graphics are very well done; the moon reflection on the water is particularly good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfuzz Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 Unfortunately, it doesnt work on the portable Atari. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted December 16, 2018 Author Share Posted December 16, 2018 Unfortunately, it doesnt work on the portable Atari. No, I don't have one to test on so I don't know what in the code would need to change to make it compatible, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenfuzz Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 I think somebody posted in a different forum topic theres a snippet of code needed. Does anyone recall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted December 16, 2018 Share Posted December 16, 2018 ARM-assisted games, including bB games that use the DPC+ kernel do not run on the AFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Muddyfunster Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 (edited) I've updated the first post with a short vid of the revised final version complete with kicking title tune. Huge credit to RushJet1 for his superb music that he provided for Tyre Trax and to mksmith for figuring out how to get TIA Tracker to work in bB, Edited January 24, 2019 by Muddyfunster 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keebz Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Is it possible to have the music playing during game play? And maybe use a switch to turn it off, like in moon patrol? The music on the title is great and playing to the music would be a lot of fun. This game came together very well! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's something I'm going to have a look at, not sure if how successful I'll be as the game already has a lot of stuff going on and I'm always wary of the cycle count, but i'm certainly going to try but for now this is the "final" version. RushJet1 has also put together some fantastic music for Dare Devil. Edited January 24, 2019 by Muddyfunster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 (edited) Here is a mock up of the planned patches for Tyre Trax, based off of AtariBoys superb artwork. Probably going to get tweaked etc, but you get the idea Now to prod Al.. [edit] updated the vid in the first post with the slight slowing of the music and the new "obstacle" sound effect. It no longer, in RT's words, sounds like someone doing something unthinkable to a duck Edited February 17, 2019 by Muddyfunster 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Muddyfunster Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 Curious. Where are you getting the patches made? There are a couple suppliers in the UK that I know (my wife does all kinds of crafting and textiles stuff). Probably looking at a run of 50 to go with the physical release for folks to earn by hitting the Gold Cups. Logistics are TBD. I can't have a game that is basically a tribute to Activision's style without a patch! (probably do one for Dare Devil too). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yessss! Competing for patches is way cool. Time to take the DeLorean, to tell 10 year old me that I'll be competing for patches in 2019. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
