Anynews on this project?

Just ran into this in YT. Seems that Janusz "Shanti77" Chabowski has been working in something very cool -which reminds me of Tiger Attack, BTW.

Game is in early WIP stage, I test some different solutions. I don't know when I'll finish them, maybe next year. Engine work in 50 fps, and can be used in other types of games ,unfortunately it only works on PAL machines.

[Heaven/TQA]

Shanti did you mix video with sid player? Or are you using the sid player in the engine?

...unfortunately it only works on PAL machines.

Shame on you! ️

@Heaven/TQA it isn't possible use sid player in a game , it use almost 100% cpu time. 

 

@MrFish sorry 😋

That's why I hate those "Videos" . 

The showed Impression has nothing to do with Reality.

That’s why I was asking  but who knows maybe someone found a trick.

[shanti77]

@emkay of course sid player takes 100% cpu time not my engine, music in game is possible.

Bosconian was awesome - looking forward to what you come up with next!

So, why did you build the impossible impression ?

Bosconian is one of those "look why the Atari rules" Games.  

But you wouldn't even understand that term.

Stalking much?  As with everything you say, I have no idea what this post even means.  The game isn't in Mode D so that can't be what excites you so much.

Does it even matter what it means ?

Absolutely beautiful.  Great work!

 

Vertical shooters are my favourite kind of game.  Wonderful to see one that really pushes the 8-bit.

[Tezz]

Good stuff

(I still often listen to Hybris on the Amiga whilst I'm working)

Will there be some end bosses (e.g. big planes, large spaceships, etc.) or buildings that you have to destroy at the end of the level ? 

 

[shanti77]

That's how I think about bosses at the end of stages, maybe they will also appear during the stage. Currently, I am constantly improving the game engine, I switched from 1 character set and IRQ to 2 character sets and DLI. Thanks to this, there will be more diverse graphics and 4 sound channels. I also need to finish the level / character editor because now everything is randomly created.
I think that the engine and editor itself, after minor modifications, will be able to use in my later games.

Looks very smooth and fast in NTSC. Thanks for supporting us poor folks over here the U.S.A.

Maybe it's time for a perfect port of Xevious ?!

 

I'm playing around with the released(beta?) game for a possible graphics hack,

but I'm afraid it's not worth the effort, as it is essentially bugged..

Damn, I missed this thread before (glad I missed the emkay posts), unfortunately the videos are no longer available to play when I attempt it. Is there a new address link to these on youtube? Or a name to search for them on youtube?

 

I looked up Shanti77 on youtube and found this video...is it the right one? Damn impressive, but I'd rather have POKEY music.
