+Propane13 Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 Hey folks! I feel like I'm coming out of hibernation. I haven't been on the forums much in a few years. Did I miss anything of interest? Did Toki / the XM come out? Are there any fun new homebrews? Any prototypes unearthed? I did get a copy of Rikki and Vikki-- but was there anything else of interest? I saw that somebody has almost completed their own homebrew of Arkanoid-- that's pretty neat. I did hear about DracIsBack. So I guess-- what's new? -John 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad to see a lot of sound demos. Are people using some sort of sound engine nowadays, or is it pure assembly? Are they using POKEY, or just straight TIA (or something else)? I have a renewed interest in learning about music creation, so I'd be curious what people are doing. I suppose I can do some digging and see what source is available based on the list provided.

Thanks! Good to be back. It's funny-- I look back and Pressure Gauge came out 20 years ago! Mean Santa came out about 10 years ago. And, Get Lost has a changelog that looks like this: ; 10-02-2001 Ported Frogger Demo code ; 10-13-2001 Removed Tomcat4K.bin, adjusted vectors ; 01-07-2002 Have working demo-collision detection, bitmap generation ; 01-11-2002 Fixed DL macro bug, have 2 bitmap Playfield generation ; 07-06-2002 Reworking kernal for structure-like PF design ; 07-15-2003 Changing from Metroid-based structs to MegaMan-based structs ; 10-30-2011 I want to add a HUD, some better comments ; 11-18-2011 Gem gathering code completed ; 12-19-2011 Mostly works on real hardware ; 01-17-2012 Added enemy support (bat/fish) ; 02-06-2012 Starting to work on "Fire Castle" ; 04-28-2012 Finished submarine area ; 02-02-2013 Initial code for saving / loading games complete ; 01-17-2016 Converted GFXMaker to use bash ; 09-25-2017 Attempt to squash freezie bug So, Get Lost is basically the longest project I've ever worked on. It even had an 8 year gap between 2003 and 2011. It would be nice to finally put it to bed. I'm guessing with the technological advances since I've last looked at things, it may be possible to do so. At the minimum, I plan to look into giving it some care and feeding-- putting my code somewhere safe, bringing its dependency toolchain up to standards, etc. Then, maybe, who knows? -John 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
