Arenafoot Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 So while I was doing research on another Atari 2600 Homebrew game, I ran across this Video Game Homebrew Wiki page: https://videogamehomebrew.fandom.com/wiki/Atari_2600_Homebrew Most of this list contains titles that saw a physical cartridge release, where on my list I have everything from physical releases, online downloads, demos, etc. On 10/15/2019 at 7:12 AM, Thomas Jentzsch said: A page with links to all the homebrew threads would be helpful. The problem is, who will maintain that? Maybe a Wiki would be the best option here. Also, a lot of projects stall or die in the process, so there would have to be some aging to the WIP entries. And if e.g. one year without progress has passed, the project should be categorized as e.g. "on-hold".

Personally i think there should be a sub subforum on each of the system subforums ie. 2600 - programming - highscore club - homebrew ect. Trends show, there is alot of members that mainly browse one subforum and hardly venture out. @Thomas Jentzsch I agree with the older WIP's, other sites i have seen them sub catagory as WIP and Old WIP after a year or so of inactivity. You're right that someone would need to maintain the Homebrew section/s. Probably wouldn't be the easiest task either but as homebrews are a fairly important part of AA i think it needs a much worthy revamp. As i see it at the moment there is no real home, and the one that exists here in homebrews subforum is half way down the main page. Many are just posting their projects in the help area of bB or 2600 programming sub forums ect. It's obvious they know that's where the traffic is and a higher chance of getting noticed. Problem is it's a mess and good older projects get lost in the chaos of help threads and general questions. Which is fine as that's what the programming discussion sub forum is for, but the homebrews are being posted in the incorrect place. I fully understand why they need the traffic, so it's almost like there is no real home for these projects to get recognition. PS. Sorry to hijack your thread @bluswimmer On 10/16/2019 at 4:19 AM, Thomas Jentzsch said: That list is wonderful, but it relies on the effort of a single person. IMO it a collaborative approach with a dedicated website where everyone (or multiple, selected people) can edit and also upload extra material (ROMs, screenshots and videos, instructions etc.) would be even better and also future proof.

overgrouth Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Here is what I can offer. I can dedicate a website to video promotions of existing homebrew games and hacks. I can set it up so the home page will display a layout much like youtube except there will be homebrew and hack videos only with descriptions and links to atariage with the rom or the AA store. That is with out moderation power on atariage. With moderating abulitys I could more then likely intergrate these things seamlessly along side what ever Al comes up with. One thing I notice about the AA store is most games do not have video to show them off. Games that do have video show gameplay which is greate and provides the AA logo and atariage.com but does not give the video game any kind knoledge upon how it plays. Perhaps we can form a team to provide this service. For example info on the controller the game uses or the quarks added to a game that needs specific attention such as how we all know raiders requires 2 controller or say like Ghost busters runs a menu setup threw the console switches or a hack called combat redux that has an amazing feature that allows for the joystick controller to select levels freeing the user from having to get out of their seat in order to hit the game select switch on the console. To give the games a non bias preview with only facts and not opinions. Everyone like different games and opinions coult hurt a good game so this is why only factual info should be provided. No praise and no defimation just info. Also it would be greate to seperate gameplay or level hacks from graphical hacks. Have catigorys so people who are looking for specific things can search with confidants with out sifting threw things they have no interest in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+fdr4prez Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I've not played this, yet, but the few videos of game play look fun. Is the joystick really needed for this game? It looks like a DC or paddle would be better suited, and we don't have very many homebrews that utilize the paddles or driving controller Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a DC or paddle would be better suited, and we don't have very many homebrews that utilize the paddles or driving controller There are a few that use paddle controllers (Drive!, Medieval Mayhem, Marble Craze, Ultra SCSIcide), but not many that use the Driving Controller (Grandma's Revenge in Stella's Stocking and Indy 500XE, which is a hack of Indy 500). I don't think there are a ton of driving controllers out there at this point (only one game "back in the day" took advantage of them, Indy 500), so I'd encourage people to support paddles over the driving controllers. I personally love the paddle/driving controllers, so I would like to see more games use them. ..Al 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Karl G Posted March 25, 2020 Share Posted March 25, 2020 I agree about loving paddle games and wanting to see more of them, but I don't think every bidirectional game is well-suited to them. I think this one is better with joysticks, personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AW127 Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 (edited) I played this today with a friend for about one hour. It's really good game-concept and makes alot of fun. Very funny often was, when i bombed nearly half of my friends land away and he didn't knew where to stand at the end *lol*. Good work Bluswimmer. One thing i wanted to ask. When i played against a CPU opponent, it sometimes seemed, that i just won, because my bullet and the CPU's bullet collided in the air. Should this be like this, or has my impression misleading me and the CPU made another mistake in these moments, like for example jumping from the land into the water? But it was very often contemporaneous that he lost a life and our bullets collided. Edited March 28, 2020 by AW127 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe the CPU dies because the bullets collide- by making the two bullets overlap in Stella, there wasn't much of an effect on the CPU. They're likely just walking into the water. If anyone is able to recreate this bug, then please post evidence here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, that the CPU-player don't die directly by itself, when the two bullets collide. But it's striking, that sometimes, very shortly after they collide, the CPU-player walks into the water then. A somewhat strange coincidence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Karl G Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I got my whole household to play this game, and even my teen boys really had fun with it! Well done on creating an engaging 2-player game. I'm definitely including this in my next AA order. If you ever do a CC2, I would love to see shot strength bars near the score, and it might be cool if there were optionally some board that incorporated gravity so that unsupported blocks would fall down if the supporting blocks were destroyed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
