Albert Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 If you're a fan of the popular board game Reversi and also follow the Jaguar scene, you'll be glad to learn that Matthias Domin is creating a version for the Jaguar. Reversi for the Jaguar will be released on an encrypted CD and features graphics by Duranik and music and sound effects by Nils Feske. In Reversi two players try to dominate an 8x8 playfield. Each player moves in succession, trying to capture pieces of his opponent by surrounding them with his own stones. The following features have been announced thus far: Four game modes: Human vs. Computer, Human vs. Human, Computer vs. Human, and Computer vs. Computer Multi-lingual MemoryTrack support for saving game settings Includes a BJL-loader for uploading RAM-based programs from your PC to the Jaguar. For more information and to follow the game's development, please visit the Jaguar Reversi Development Page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starcat Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi Matthias ! The game looks really great! Can you estimate yet, how much of the game is done? Btw, on the Reversi site, there are screenshots of the game mode screens (choosing who plays against who), are those static screens or animated? I am assuming static, as animated ones would probably take tons of memory. Just curious. Regards, Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hello! Hi Matthias ! The game looks really great! Can you estimate yet, how much of the game is done? I just have to add some more translations and probably should take a look at the Artificial Intelligence of the computer-opponent, and brush up some of the standard-Jaguar-Game-elements (like the graphic-elements of the volume-changing screens), but that's it i think. Btw, on the Reversi site, there are screenshots of the game mode screens (choosing who plays against who), are those static screens or animated? I am assuming static, as animated ones would probably take tons of memory. Just curious. The selected dialog-element is animated (player-name or the globe in the center), these animations are done using pre-rendered graphics, so you are absolutely right, they consume a lot of memory (as all those overscan background-pictures do as well).

Starcat Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi Matthias ! Great to hear that. As it seems to be finished soon, do you know yet how you will publish it? Will it be a printed CDR or mastered CD? Will you release it in a paper box or in a DVD box (which is almost like a standard for new releases CD already). Regards, Lars.

Matthias Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hello! Hi Matthias ! Great to hear that. As it seems to be finished soon, do you know yet how you will publish it? No, i haven't decided that yet. Will it be a printed CDR or mastered CD? Will you release it in a paper box or in a DVD box (which is almost like a standard for new releases CD already). An inkjet-printed CD-R in a DVD would be the easiest for me as i own such a printer. Regards Matthias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcat Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hi Matthias! Same with me The only thing that made me wonder about alternatives, is the CDR reading problem that some units have. Although maybe I can find better media that doesn't have this problem. I will experiment with that before the JagWorm release, which will probably still be this year. Did you experiment with CDR types yet? What CDRs do you usually use? Regards, Lars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthias Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 Hello! I am using any CD-R-brand i can find cheap for developing (like the Lifetec-CD-Rs of Aldi), but i have only used printable Verbatim Super AZO CD-Rs so far for "production".

cobracon Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Very cool looking game and a welcomed addition to Jaguar CD. Cant wait to get it. Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starcat Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 Hi Matthias! Verbatim? Actually I was thinking about using those as well for JagWorm, but I haven't tested them myself yet. Maybe your experiences with that media can help me too once reversi is available, afterall it seems to be the next game that gets a release. Regards, Lars.

Paolo Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 This new beta is extremely cleaned-up (in ALL languages I think) And I must tell you, that we should have a whole collection of such puzzle games. It would be a smash hit! (I love when the tiles flip to change their colour!) I like to play with the red-yellow ones. What about the other testers?

Shaggy the Atarian Posted April 20, 2005 Share Posted April 20, 2005 Do you testers have any pics that we can drool over (more than what have been released?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarGod Posted April 21, 2005 Share Posted April 21, 2005 Wow! Very impressive. Just thought I would pop in and say great work. I can't wait to pick this one up. The more Jag stuff, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
