Antarctic Adventure for Intellivision - work in progress

[cmadruga]

Very early development version for those interested in trying it... no sound, no music, no collisions yet.

Controls:

- left/right to move the penguin

- press button to jump - or to fly 🙂... this will be eliminated.

- 0 to 7 will test different backgrounds... on the finished version those would alternate automatically based on progress.

Fake news! The horror!

[atari5200dude82]

Lol, I was going to say that’s odd. 😩

I guess I should have added a winky face. I’m new to this internet etiquette stuff.  😉

I support this!  Love this game.

But then it wouldn’t have freaked people out as much.

Updates:

- Antarctica map added

- Pesky sea lions! - player won't be able to jump over them.

- Flags and jumping fishes - will provide bonus points when collected

- Increased obstacle spawning frequency (still fine tuning the spawning logic)

Is it possible to name the penguin Duncan? Seems appropriate, lol

[cmadruga]

The penguin from the original Antarctic Adventure was named "Penta", but I agree that Duncan is the #1 penguin on the Intellivision! Maybe they are cousins, or something? 🙂

 

[the1hatman]

Well with either name the tradition is upheld so it's all good.

This will be a must buy for me as well.

Arriving at an outpost... haven't done the whole flag raising routine yet.

looking good so far.

This looks adorable! I love the flapping

Here is another work in progress rom for anyone interested.

Pressing up will accelerate the penguin.

 

Still no collisions or sounds.

I will probably get the flag raising sequence completed over the weekend.

ln the first frame of the outpost (at farthest distance) I would align the roof to the horizon (as in the other frames) and center to the right the building.

Maybe a gray line done with sprites could mark the shadows of the snow on the roof in order to outline it with respect to the snow in the background.

Great work !!

Thanks for the suggestion and feedback, Artrag!

[cmadruga]

Getting there...

BTW, yes, I normally suck when playing my own games...

Improved animations for when penguin gets stuck inside an ice fissure. 

Outpost arrival now includes flag raising sequence.

That climbing animation is adorable!
