GroovyBee Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 For those of you not attending CGE 2010 here's a sneak peek at my Expansion Module game Dungeon! :- Many thanks to sh3-rg for the fantastic graphics (as per usual). The title page has been hand edited because its a 160C image (it looks very close to that image on a TV). Its a single player, 8 way scroller that allows 25 colours per video scan line (the maximum the 7800 can do). Graphics are provisional and may change in the future. There is still a great deal of work to do on it. Hence there is no fixed release date and no binary available at this time. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Wow this looks amazing, i take it, its using the pockey chip for sound aswell? There are no sound effects or music in the game yet. TIA probably won't be used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellis Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 How exciting! Gauntlet is one of my arcade favorites too. It's nice to see that its legacy lives on with the Atari 7800. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a top down dungeon crawl but its not going to be Gauntlet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

horseboy Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 How exciting! Gauntlet is one of my arcade favorites too. It's nice to see that its legacy lives on with the Atari 7800. Ever played Dark Chambers? Anyway this game looks great. I know you will put a nice twist on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakasama Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Its a top down dungeon crawl but its not going to be Gauntlet. Wow, it's looks great so far. So, it's going to borrow a few elements from Rogue? I mean I like Gauntlet and all but I would like to see if game that can look like Gauntlet but plays a bit different from it.

AtariNerd Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Soooo pur-ty! Kind of strange though, isn't it, when you don't have to worry so much about the display (though obviously you are programming around certain, advanced techniques!) and you can focus and fret on the design, logistics?

Austin Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 This looks pretty good for being as early as it is in the development process.. I am sure it will be a joy to look at when it's complete down the road! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have thought about randomly generated levels. The levels in the game can be quite large. However, there is a ton of work to do before it gets to that stage.

Thanks for the compliment. The Expansion Module cannot increase the number of video cycles available to MARIA so the game still has to work within those fixed constraints. With the 7800, MARIA can either cope with what you ask it to do or it can't. If it can't cope you have to approach things differently.

I am sure it will be a joy to look at when it's complete down the road! Only "pretty good" huh? Plenty of work still to do. This is probably the last version that will work on a stock 7800 with a CC2. Any more changes and it becomes a fully fledged expansion module game.

Underball Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 This looks good. I have to say though, for all the hype about the Expansion Module, for this to be the only game being previewed, I'm a little disappointed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
