Starcat Posted January 25, 2005 Share Posted January 25, 2005 Hi folks ! Just in case you missed the original post: I wish all of you a Merry Christmas ! I also have a little present for you, a sneak preview on one of my Atari Jaguar side projects, that used to be listed on the Starcat Developments site with a questionmark. The game is called JagWorm and it's a funny, and addictive cartoon game, in which you control a worm through levels full of obstacles. Your goal is to eat all the apples in the level before time runs out and without hitting any obstacles such as rocks, thorns, bushes, water and other things. The game features colorful cartoon graphics, save feature, lots of levels and even several different highly addictive game modes, such as the advanced game mode which I summed up above already, the classic mode, where your goal is to eat as many apples as possible without biting yourself and a very fun multiplayer mode for up to 8(!!) players at once. The game is progressing well, however to complete it, I need your help. The project needs talented mod musicians to create game music. If you are interested in helping out, visit the "help wanted" section of the Jagworm site. (link below leads to the site) Check the site out and enjoy !! http://www.starcat-dev.de/jagworm Regards, Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The game features colorful cartoon graphics, save feature, lots of levels and even several different highly addictive game modes, such as the advanced game mode which I summed up above already, the classic mode, where your goal is to eat as many apples as possible without biting yourself You have to have a Nokia phone mode... and only allow keypad use! Green and dark green, in a small area in the middle of the screen... but then a 2-player mode with 2 phone handsets would work... then you can get Nokia to sponsor the first Jaguar games ... <wakes up> Cheers, JustClaws.

Maarten Martens Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I think you are doing an amazing job for the community, Lars. It looks promising! I hope you find some musicians ... I'll see if I find someone for you. Cheers, Graveyard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcat Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hi Maarten! Thanks for the supportive words. It is always great fun to create games for such a great community. Thanks for keeping your eye open for musicians. Regards, Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoop Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 hey lars the game looks great i like how the graphics look any chance of the background scrolling as you play like i see how you have clouds the clouds could scroll with paralax scrolling and it'd be kewl to see the grass sway. also any chance of baddies being in the game like a little army off ants that march around to get in your way just ideas good luck and awesome job thus far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcat Posted January 27, 2005 Author Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hi Zoop ! Thanks for the ideas. I'll think about it. Regards, Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarGod Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 Keep up the good work Lars. It is great to see you still going at it. I don't visit here much, but when I do, I sure like posts about new games. Good luck on all that you do Lars, the Jag community needs it.

Serblander Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi Lars! I'm really looking forward to this one If it's anything like your previous releases, it should be GREAT!! I only wish i could help you out with the music. Unfortunately, the only instrument i was ever good at playing was the triangle - and i don't think it would suit the game. I wish you the best of luck! Regards, Aleks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcat Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hi folks ! The JagWorm site has been updated slightly with some changed on the development status. Just wanted to let you know that it's progressing. It had a great boost in the music department from 0% to amazing 50%. Which means we are a big step further towards a finished game. Certainly it still needs some work though, but it's progressing. http://www.starcat-dev.de/jagworm/ Enjoy. Regards, Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wanted to let you know that it's progressing.Good news. ACE - Posted: Feb 20 2005, 04:20 AM I'm not too sure but I think Starcats is going to use the music I submitted to him Thursday. Perhaps we can hear a sample on the web-page as a taster? Cheers, JustClaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clint Thompson Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Haha... sounds great! Looks funny too! Man... I got some serious ideas for animations (though which it may be a little overboard for this type of game?) but if you've ever played worms I loved the little in-between animations that took place after or before a game, that stuff was hilarious. I can just see it now... you smack into the wall (and if it could be done quickly enough) it would show a fast and short clip of the worm just eating the apples smiling as big as possible.... getting carried away while enjoy the apple he opens his eyes again and runs smack in to the wall and falls out. Would be funny.... and maybe after your on your last life could that happen. (as if it were to happen every time it would be too repetitive and interrupt gameplay too often) Anyhow, good luck on it Lars.... seems like you have quite a few of titles underway.

I don't think I will put samples online. Once the game is a bit futher in development and more finished I might put a binary (or rather cd image) of the game online though for people to playtest.

BuzzTron451 Posted February 26, 2005 Share Posted February 26, 2005 2 Questions: (A)What genre will it be classified under? Will it be like Worms World Party? (B)Where will you be selling the game? Do you have a website or something? Thanks - Bradford. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcat Posted February 26, 2005 Author Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hi ! 2 Questions: (A)What genre will it be classified under? Will it be like Worms World Party? (B)Where will you be selling the game? Do you have a website or something? Thanks - Bradford. A) I think the most fitting genre would be arcade / puzzle. It's not like worms world party. JagWorm is an updated version of the classic snake games. It features many colorful and challenging levels as well as different game modes. B) Yes. I will be selling the game on my site once it is done. http://www.starcat-dev.de Regards, Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 Hello, So now the game was lost, apart from the proto I sent back to Lars, and he has released (free to use, but he retains copyright, I presume), then perhaps we could have some feedback on it for future projects?

justclaws Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hello, No luck yet with my M jaguar and JUGS I will send you the same file, packaged as a .JAG or just .BIN file.That is substantially different to just the file converted from COF with Filefix. (The same version, but a dump of memory after loading, via my Alpine.) Cheers, JustClaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justclaws Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 Hello, No luck yet with my M jaguar and JUGSAnother thought.Download my BJL4JUGS (?) loader and batch file, it's on Jaguar-Homebrew files area on Yahoo groups. I guess I released it more than 2 years ago... You upload the BJL loader using JUGS, which is very quick as the BJL loader is very small. Once it loads, the BJL loader takes over, and loads the game. The PC batch file sends the BJL loader to JUGS, followed by a game/demo. Of course you need a BJL cable making up, but it makes cuts down waiting. Also, if the binary is incompatible with the JUGS starter, it bypasses that too. Regards, JustClaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justclaws Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 (edited) Hello, Some in-game photos for people without a working setup to try this lost WIP on. Posted with exclusive permission from StarCat on AA. I was a play-tester, among other things. These are of the menu and associated screens. Cheers, JustClaws.
