justclaws Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 I am excited that Indie developers are quickly jumping on the Atari VCS. The very experienced developer just posted a link on Facebook about his new game. https://www.facebook.com/groups/atarivcsfans/ If you don't use Facebook, here is the link to the most recent video of (pre-Alpha) game, only in development for a couple of weeks, here is the teaser video he added for the game. There are many links under the video, to follow his project. https://www.retroninja.com/ * I have no connection with the Atari company, this project, or with the developer. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Barnes Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thanks for the post. I'll try and keep people up to date and answer any questions people might have, as development continues. In the meantime, here's a screenshot taken from the VCS, just in case the video compression messes up the image (video also running on the VCS). 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted January 19, 2021 Author Share Posted January 19, 2021 Tony posted (on Facebook) some new images from his new game in-development for the Atari VCS. I hope he's OK that I repost them here, Tony, since not everybody does Facebook. He wrote: "I've been pretty busy and thus pretty silent lately about Chaos Chassis. In lieu of new footage (because I'm in the middle of things and they're quite broken), here are a couple of WIP screenshots from a week ago, showing new chassis (tank) refinements and most of all, the little alien baddies out to take you down, before you do the same to them! Let me know what you think. ...wait till you see these little bastages trying to flank and bullet-hell you! " 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Tony posted an update on Facebook. Hello all, I've been silent for a bit. Hopefully, I'll have a full-tilt-boogey trailer soon, but my son said I should post some screenshots, so here are a couple of quick shots. Actually, these are the first shots not in split-screen, come to think of it... Here are the associated screenshots. It's looking great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
82-T/A Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I am very much looking forward to buying this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted April 12, 2021 Author Share Posted April 12, 2021 I asked Tony if there was an update on this game, and good news, yes. I'm sure Tony won't mind if I repost his reply from Facebook, here. ? "Wow, a lot of buzz about this Chaos Chassis thing. Hello everyone. Sorry to be radio-silent, just I've got a lot of fires in the oven right now, plus Chaos Chassis ended up being stalled a bit by some significant talks with a publisher. Now that that's out of the way, I'm back at it and will be showing something shortly. In the meantime, here's a shot I don't think anyone's seen..." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted June 3, 2021 Author Share Posted June 3, 2021 There's a new update about this game on Facebook, but the videos are compressed on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/1188214925/videos/10224627244447053/ For people who don't follow links or use Facebook, I took a screenshot, but more news, pending. ? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted June 11, 2021 Author Share Posted June 11, 2021 This is the (compressed) video which was posted. Yes, it's a video, to play. As Tony says, in the screenshot above, it's not a "trailer footage", just a sample. 10000000_320949119498990_3031264694754731717_n.mp4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 There's a Tweet with new images from @Tony Barnes, the developer, here. Very nice images; this game certainly is making progress, it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Barnes Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Hi everyone, sorry for not being on here in a while, I've been pretty busy and I actually forgot I had ever posted here about VCS stuff, to be honest. (Transparency and all... it's the 2020's! Lol) So... to catch people up... I started work on this one a year ago (roughly) and it was initially going to just be "Combat", with PvP-only. Then, I shifted to a PvE-only arcade-style game, like Jackal or Vindicators. As I worked on it, I actually had a chance to play a game on my VCS devkit, called Unsung Warriors. The game is a co-op platformer and was really fun to play with my son, so I tried it for Chaos Chassis, then made it split-screen. With the game being split-screen (and running surprisingly well), it made more sense to be less "forced-scroll shmup" and more like my old game series, Desert/Jungle/Urban/Nuclear Strike. So, it's more of a semi-open, mission-based shooter than a traditional shmup. Besides growing in scope, I also had other games going in the background and all of my games are 1-man-shows. I do the art, coding, music, etc..etc..etc... So, that can make things slow going. Fast-forward to today (Oct 2021) and the game is coming along in the background and I'm working for a big proper reveal of features and extended gameplay. All of this will come shortly, after my other game, BPM Boy, is released for the VCS, sometime within the next month or so. Sorry for the wait and radio silence. It's been a good year (or so) of crunch on my 3 games simultaneously in development, but the positive reception always makes it worthwhile and motivating. In the meantime, here are some shots. 4 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 @Tony Barnes I just bought "BPM Boy", and it's as polished so far, as it looked in the videos. Great work, again. Now BPM Boy is out, I can hope that you'll spare a bit of time to focus on this one. ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
