May be Rebecca Heineman, She has said she'd work for us on the Jag. She's a top tier professional programmer. If Burger Becky said she'd work for you on Jag stuff then she's by far the top choice to try to recruit for converting Zero Tolerance to the Jag. For those who may not know she did 3D0 Doom and Killing Time. If not that then if you can get her to work for you on the Jag regarding ANYTHING, then do so.

For those with a skunkboard and looking at the ports from the ST of say Degz and R-Type could be added to the shmup list. Most classic top down shmup for the Jag would be Raiden. I love games like that. The Saturn was littered with amazing too down shmups and it would be sweet if the Jag had some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philipj Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Revolution X was a really good arcade game compared to the piss poor Genesis version... I also like "Zombie Raid" arcade game; I use to play that at a pizza parlor. A while back I wanted to use the "White Men Can't Jump" source code to make a shooter similar to Revolution X... But I think that game used real 3D versus the pseudo 3D used for the RevX arcade; a very good example of 2D sprites in a 3D environment... Still I would love to make a game like that. Someone posted "Beast Buster" earlier...? Great game also. Edited January 13, 2020 by philipj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a completely rewritten engine and redone graphics that second rate Genesis Wolfenstein clone is pretty pointless porting exercise for the Jaguar.

Seriously, really? Looks a lot like Wolfenstein, all 90 degree angles and the same height for all walls. No Ceiling and floor textures. Runs windowed and half the framerate of Jaguar W3D. The Genesis can't handle the Doom engine, don't kid yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy a Genesis to play a Genesis game - sounds like a plan? Not really. Sounds rather contrary just to be that way. Almost like saying buy an ST to play an ST game. It's a near totally different system. Of course engine would need rebuilding. You know who Burger Becky is? I dunno. This opportunity has a lot of potential. It's a shame of all the 100s of people who would love a good port of this the one voice that pops up immediately is someone who's gotta bash it. And then those who would enjoy it instead of voicing a yay go on big rambling posts babbling about how in the next life they want to use the WMCJ source code to port Revolution X. This community is depressing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swansea_Mariner Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'm all for another FPS, does need completely redone gfx though as there's not much porting something substantially worse than what we already have. Hopefully that's Piko's intention, we don't need any more shovelware 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This community is depressing. No seriously... I've wanted to do something for with WMCJ for a while and sort of let the idea go over time, but the "Revolution X" thing...? Really the idea came with "Zombie Raid", but the Rev X game with the pseudo 3D perspective along with the fast action (just something I fancied), the closes thing to something like on the Jaguar is WMCJ having the similar effects like Rev X, but I think the game is using real 3D perspective beyond simple scrolling and scaling. I just posted the Rev X as something possible to shoot for; it doesn't have to be a direct port of the arcade game, but a different or new game design that has just as much impact; I am an artist after all. But yes I'm pretty serious about such an idea despite the slow wheels of progress and real life. But keep in mind I'm just getting back into things after being away for a while, I'm also trying to bring an optimistic point of view on things to help bring some positivity to the table, but I guess it doesn't always interpret as such, but I still have hope this Jaguar forum. Also... I mentioned this idea on JS2 some years back so the idea is very old but still very good. Edited January 14, 2020 by philipj Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I'm being honest there is some real high quality homebrew development going on for the jaguar, games that are as good if not better than a substantial proportion of the existing game library. The bar has been moved considerably upwards. I mean just look at Lucky Strike and compare it to Video Kid. There's theoretically space for both but I'm honestly thinking what's the point we're not starved for new developments anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JagChris Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 (edited) I have no problem with disagreement. None at all. But the way you go about it could use some polish. But the other half of the problem is the only voice seems to be a negative one. None of the 100s who would enjoy a upgraded port to Zero Tolerance on the Jag except Sauron have spoken up. No creative discussion. Just one negative voice jabbing sticks at Piko. He doesn't know the difference.

Swansea_Mariner Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Just to be clear I'm all for encouraging anyone to make the effort to bring updated, upgraded, or improved products to the market, but that's not exactly what's coming out of this stable at the moment. This figures banded about of around 70 global sales seems to suggest there's not much of a market for the current approach in any case. I'm supportive both in writing and in buying lots of the games coming through, but don't see why I have to be happy clappy about everything 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 A port of Zero Tolerance would sell at least as well as titles like Switchblade or Custodian. I would hope we all know you can't take a handful of negative comments as representative of the whole group, especially among a fanbase known for its toxicity. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
