The game box will have an unique 3D rendered image with a scene from the game. I am awaiting permission from the artist to show a sample here... The game itself is more, or less complete as it feels today, but we might notice additional things to improve before release... It took me almost 2 hours to speed-run the game. I am quite good at this now, as I know exactly were everything is located, and the optimal tactics to beat each BOSS. I did a brief check on speed-runs for some other of my favourite metroidvanias, and these could be speedrun in about half the time. Wow that's great! I saw Kings of Edom pre-orders at Songbird and want to get that but I want this one more! Any idea as to when it will come out? Maybe by Christmas? I won't push it. It's done when it's done. Just let us know. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this one going to be published by Songbird or AtariAge (I am sure it was mentioned in the thread?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not decided yet when it will be released, nor all the details about distribution. Because we are still working on the manual etc. Also I want to allow people to fully enjoy Kings of Edom before releasing another game. Because KoE will offer many hours of gameplay. Additionally it takes time to print the boxes, manuals etc. I will let you know when we have a release date for this game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS. These settings are also stored in EEPROM, but this was really the last remaining word in the standard IC, which I hade to pack two bytes into.

Karyyk Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Definitely looking forward to this one. I already have Kings of Edom preordered and I'll do the same with this one on day one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please play the video in full screen mode, so it does not drop frames. The flashing effect will not look right in window mode. I cannot wait to get my hands in this one!

+grips03 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I noticed there is a bunch of text to read when first going through the game. Can the text be skipped by pressing a button? Reason for asking when the game is played a bunch of times the player will most likely want to skip it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite the accomplishment to get 2 very distinct games of different genres finished around the same time! 3 hours ago, phoboz said: When holding the fire button (B) the text will print super fast, and close. You really have thought of everything, squeezed every last byte, phew! Going to be exciting to play both games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_rg Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 Have you thought of using 2k eeproms instead of the 128b ones ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, I managed to squeeze 3 saveslots, and all configuration data into the standard chip. These are the easiest ones to obtain. I would hate to switch to a much larger chip just becuase I would need one more word of data. Since the maximum volume values are below the limit for a byte, it would be such a waste to use twice the ammount of storage space. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo_rg Posted October 16, 2021 Share Posted October 16, 2021 I've never had any problem sourcing the 93c86 2k eeprom. They are readily available and about the same price if not cheaper than the 93c46 128b. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will setup a distribution network according to this: America can buy from @Songbirdhttps://songbird-productions.com/ UK can buy from @Gaztee Pleiades Europe + rest of the world can buy directly from me http://tjocktv.se/shop/ You will of course not be forced to buy from your (closest) region, but this way we can offer better price, and faster shipping for most of you. The product should be similar regardless from which distributor you buy it. Edited November 4, 2021 by phoboz 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
