Νεες κυκλοφοριες σε retro κoνσολες και computers

[Karnov]

Για την C64 έκδοση από 2.55 εώς το 11.14

Φαίνεται πολύ ωραίο παιχνίδι. Για chilling out.

Πάντως ακόμα δεν κυκλοφόρησε και άλλοι το βγάλανε ήδη στην πιάτσα !!!!

Eye of the Beholder , C64,

Code : Andreas Larsson
Graphics Conversion : Micke Backlund/Ilkka Sjöstedt
Intro Picture : Oliver Lindau
UI-Components : Lars Verhoff
Intro Music - Linus

Two months ago I rebooted my efforts on porting Eye of the Beholder I to the C64. This time with Easy Flash as target HW. It has good emulator support and is widespread on the real HW due to the success of the 1541U cartridge. I've come so far into the development now that I'm confident it will get finished.

επανεκκινήθηκε και αυτή τη φορά φαίνεται αποφασισμένος να το ολοκληρώσει αυτός και η παρέα του.

A preview showing a play through levels 1 to 3 including special quests.

New features:
* Audio subsystem implemented. Audio quality will be improved later.
* 50% done with the spell casting.
* No known bugs left.
* New UI
........................

Lot's of progress:

* AI implemented (but not connected to the RPG engine so monsters won't hurt you).
* Spells implemented.
* Refactored input system that is responsive even when there are alot of action on screen.
* Updated graphics here and there.
* Teleporters implemented.
* Many bug fixes.

This video shows a walkthrough level 1 - 3. On level 4 the engine halts due to a missing opcode (Create Monster script). You can also see two places where there is a log "Play encounter $xx". On level 1 this would have been the copy protection. On level 4 it's the encounter with an NPC who can join the party. These encounters will probably be implemented next.

Spells are not rested because there is currently a bug with them that will be fixed shortly.

NEW GENERATION for SILLY VENTURE 2018
GAME COMPO ATARI XL/XE
-------------------------------------

Alpha version of our new production.
Its our special gift to all Atari fans!

Code: Laoo, Solo
Music: Miker

-------------------------------------

Hardware requirement for the party version:
- Atari XL/XE with 512kB

Known issues:
- 512kB RAM requirement (going to be 130XE or 256kB)
- the game may crash at level 1 near left ladder
- glowing special monster can be different than the one from bottom UI
- not all monsters are spawning yet
- playfield artifacts here and there

In final version:
- more sprites on screen
- all levels
- all enemy monsters
- all missing logic
- all bugs fixed
- less requirement for memory (130XE or 256kB)
/////////

We will release alpha2 before full release - stuff for NTSC should be fixed there.
The engine detects NTSC machine and in busy moments wont spawn additional softsprite (to keep smooth 60fps/1 frame gameplay) - it shouldnt be even noticeable during gameplay.
The music wont be a problem and its speed will be fixed for NTSC, same as in Time Pilot.
Actually there is a one thing that is already working PAL/NTSC - the game timer (bottm right UI) :- p

About colours - thanks for the sugestion (actually more peoples asked about it). Added to todo to have "alternative" colour palette.
The game is going to have

- original colours
- original + VBXE additions (attributes, same as on C64; already implemented; + colored sprites)
- alternative
- alrenative + VBXE additions
- PAL/NTSC different values

The flickering of the image was purposeful, it was supposed to resemble the loading that occurs in the ZX Spectrum and C64. After that, the picture is also intentionally drawn during loading, and then the color is added (this is usually the case of images loaded on the ZX Spectrum, this is due to the construction of image memory in this computer). To observe this effect, read the .atr file without accelerating the disk drive. Image is the conversion of the original, has 8 colors.
The game works in the PAL and NTSC system, of course in NTSC it will slow down more often, while the colors are loaded during loading, so that both versions look similar.
People with rapidus will be satisfied, because on it the game should not slow down, it is also expected to use additional memory which will speed up the game on ordinary cpu.
Sound effects are original samples from ZX Spectrum converted and reproduced on Atari, they sound almost identical.
The game thanks to Antic and dual buffer technology runs a bit faster than on ZX Spectrum, switching frames occurs at any moment of the screen (no need to wait for the drawing to finish).
I attach the version without flickering.


Thanks to MariuszW , Jose and Solaris104

- NTSC was supported, but right now is not due to code not optimized enough before Silly Venture deadline. But it's still on the list.
- The music uses just 3 channels, 4th is dedicated to future SFX.
- I didn't plan the multicolor sprites, especially that they are coupled with missiles, making things quite tricky. And it would limit the number of enemies.
- I would love some parallax scrolling, but that would be tricky as well.
- The name is "Druidarium". Title screen has a typo. Deadlines, again.
- The picture is a conversion with off-the-shelf font.
- The "Dru i dar i um" in the text is not stylized. Just monospace.
- I can have enemies moving up/down. They just would need extra logic to reserve a sprite from line below and do a line transition. I'd love to have some one day.
- The game wasn't really fast to make. 2 missile positions (4th missile is unusable) are updated every 2 scanlines so explosions are done using missiles and this system allows various spell projectiles (just deadline didn't allow adding more). And add to that running all the enemy logic and actually redrawing all the sprites - and you have the reason why it's not running in NTSC right now with some parts requiring (yet another) rewrite.

Current state of my fan-homage c64 version of Portal.
Still a few things to add and need to replace some of the "debug" graphics.
Then comes the level design!
You can see multiple levels in this short video.

Mouse Mode:
W=Jump
A/D = Left/Right
E - Action/Pickup/Drop etc
Mouse Move = Aim Portal Gun
Left Mouse = Fire Blue Portal
Right Mouse = Fire Orange Portal
Run Stop = Exit Level (you can start again from the last level)

Joystick Mode:
W=Jump
A/D = Left/Right
E - Action/Pickup/Drop etc
Joystick Move = Aim Portal Gun
Joystick Button = Fire Current Chosen Colour Portal
R = Switch Portal Colour (this also happens automatically after shooting a portal)
Run Stop = Exit Level (you can start again from the last level)

I am pleased to announce that 8bit-slicks, a cross-platform online racing game for the C64 and Atari XL/XE, will be released in the first half of 2018.

The game features up-to 4 players (local and online), 10 maps, and a competitive ranking ladder. It is compatible with the RR-Net and DragonCart hardware for online play (VICE and Altirra emulation is compatible).

The IP65 network code is very light actually, almost no speed difference with local mode.

The game runs at about 30FPS in 2 player, 21FPS in 3 player, 15FPS in 4 player mode. Main slow down comes from the navigation code, which ensures that player don't try to find shortcuts around the track... I need to optimize that.

Register your account now, as I will release the game through a closed beta by progressively increasing the number of players, to quickly find and fix issues with the gameserver

Κατά την ολιγοήμερη άδεια, που πήρε η «ψυχή» του πιο ενημερωμένου νήματος του πλανήτη για νέο software σε retro μηχανήματα, να παρέμβω εδώ για να επιστήσω την προσοχή, σε μια νέα εκπληκτική σπεκτρουμοκυκλοφορία, το Mister Kung-Fu.
Ένα unofficial conversion του Kung Fu Master, που έρχεται σχεδόν 30 χρόνια μετά, να αποκαταστήσει την τιμή του ZX -μαύρου κουτιού- Spectrum, που είχε πληγεί -ευτυχώς όχι ανεπανόρθωτα- από το άθλιο προϊόν της πάλαι ποτέ US Gold...
