Can you please submit it as an entry on the competition page? Submitted ! More than 2 days before the deadline, this is not really compliant with french way of doing things, but who cares. I guess that if I find some bugs before friday, I can reupload the ROM ? Hum, 2 days left... Do I start coding another game ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Nice graphics in the Xump 2 Back to space. My stuff is also on-line at https://karrika.itch.io/titan But unfortunately I still need time... I also realized that the competition ends in the middle of Friday! At 14:00. What a silly time to end a competition. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there life outside Europe? Yes it is midnight in Australia. I could have used an extra week-end for adding some content to the game. I wonder what the other 23 games are that I am not even aware of. titan.mp4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah well we are always late anyways we programmers :). super curious to play your shoot Karri, would love to discuss shoot'em up programming problems later My "problem" is that I will go out to our summer place early tomorrow morning and fix the sails on my boat. So the only time to write code is a few hours on Friday morning. I am still missing around 18 encounters. So the enemies are bound to be a bit repetitive. Besides, there is no time for good SFX anymore. So it will kind of sound like On Duty I was hoping on a new sliding pitches sound world. Space-like sounds. Well, you cannot always have your way. Time to get back to kitchen. I am making some nice sweets to my tea. Rhubarb-pie with Ice Cream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drludos Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Karri, your entries are always the most appetizing of all! More seriously though, I'm very excited to play all your entries! I'm very curious about Fadest one, the teasing looked very promising. A board game is a very unique genre for the Lynx, and a very good fit for the console. Anyway, I'll try to finish my entry and submit it before playing your games, else I'll never finish mine! Hopefully, it'll be ready tonight or tomorrow!

Fadest Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 (edited) Karri, your shoot management routine looks great. Can't wait to play the released version. Played a bit the beta version of Dr Ludos Timeloop, and ... the twist is a real game changer. Need more practise, definitively (took me 4 or 5 games to score more than 2 goals), but as I suspect we get better while playing, I think this will be a great challenger in the contest. If I have enough time, I will try to give you a better feedback on Patreon. Feedback from a french betatester of my game (english translation from me): Quote Je te confirme que j'apprécie ce jeu alors que de prime abord je n'y aurai pas été intéressé. C'est un concept que je ne connaissais pas et très addictif. Quote I confirm that I appreciate this game whereas at first glance I would not have been interested in it. It's a concept that I didn't know and that is very addicting. I hope people will give it more than 1 or 2 game to just see how it looks, and games can be very frustrating if player is unlucky... But this is the risk with this kind of game in a coding contest. Edited August 12, 2020 by Fadest 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A mouse brain is not clever enough. A physicists brain weighs too much. But a gamer, like you, has a brain just small enough for the drone.

Nop90 Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 Retroguru entry uploaded on itch.io. @Igor is the entry correctly submitted to partecipate to the competition? I don't have the credentials for the retroguru account on itch.io and can't see any mention of the competition on theentry page.

Fadest Posted August 12, 2020 Share Posted August 12, 2020 I think that if correctly uploaded, you see a mention on the game page : https://fadest.itch.io/achasers (I submitted it twice in order to have the mention) https://karrika.itch.io/titan But I don't see it on Xump 2 page : https://retroguru.itch.io/xump-2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also @Fadest I think you incorrectly submitted A Bug's Lynx (it doesn't qualify as it was released in April and it seems to have the Asteroids Chasers description)... I'll probably be releasing my game later on today. Of course I don't qualify for any prizes but I wanted to submit something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted August 12, 2020 Author Share Posted August 12, 2020 @karri and @42bs yep, Australian deadline of course! ? I figured with 4 months for the whole competition the end time should not matter so much! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I hid the code for now. Tomorrow I try to implement the fixes and see if it runs on real hw. If this is the case I submit my entry. If not, well, I go sailing instead.

Oups, I guess that's why I didn't see the label on Asteroids Chasers page the 1st time and I had to resubmit... I removed the game from the competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drludos Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 (edited) Hi Everyone, so I've released and submitted my entry too! Timeloop is a fun game where you play future soccer against your past self(s)! You'll control a blue robot who have to push the green ball into the goal to score points. Move with D-Pad and press A or B button to Dash. Sounds simple? Well there is a catch: the whole game plays inside an endlessly repeating timeloop! Every 6 seconds, the timeloop will reset the game. Your previous avatar will turn red, and it will move exactly like you did during the previous timeloop. You will play as another robot, always in blue. Up to 8 robots can play at the same time: your current avatar, and 7 of your previous incarnations. So, in this game you'll face the ultimate opponent: yourself! There is an increasing "score limit" to reach on each timeloop to be able to continue the game. It starts easy, but quickly become challenging. My current best score is 40 points. Can you do better? You can download the game roms and the full commented source code here: https://drludos.itch.io/timeloop I hope you'll enjoy it!

42bs Posted August 13, 2020 Share Posted August 13, 2020 I see one problem with the current releases (tool set problem): The files are filled with 0x00, which means for flashing each byte needs to be written. Better would be to fill them with 0xff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've submitted mine as well - https://atarigamer.itch.io/sybils-nightmare-run-agpc2020-edition @drludos how do you make those gifs on the gameplay? Wonderful for your entry, I love the graphics and general mood - I will try it ASAP alongside the others :)! For the gameplay the process is actually quite simple. First I do a video capture using the Mednafen emulator, of a rather "long" play (several minutes at least, in order to be able to choose the most meaningful gameplay sequence). Once you have the .mov video capture made by mednafen, I'm using the good old virtualdub (http://www.virtualdub.org/) to export a part of this video to GIF. Careful, the video capture is at 60fps, which is too fast for most browser to display GIFs. So before exporting the GIF, I'm reducing the video framerate to 30fps so it plays at a normal speed in browsers. At first, I tried to use tools that record directly to gif, such as Licecap, but I found difficult to be able to record a short interesting and sequence with them. So I find the "make a normal video capture, then export gifs from it" easier and better now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
