ggn Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Ah, so if we add the number of ste users we go from 2.2317467814 to 4.2317467814. Yep, I'm sure Orion_ is counting the profit in his mind as we speak! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ParanoidLittleMan Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) Orion: I look on this just as oportunity to do something new - I don't know about adventure on ST(E) using high-color pictures. And I don't think that profit is your main concern In any case, I planned something with high-color images already, and now I have what missed: updater Photochrome. So, I will do it for sure in following months. Edited September 15, 2012 by ParanoidLittleMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted September 15, 2012 Author Share Posted September 15, 2012 (edited) I don't know about adventure on ST(E) using high-color pictures Maybe there is a reason for that Doing a pictures slideshow, and doing a game is VERY different ! That's why I dropped the pc engine version, because I could do a slideshow, but not a full game ! I started to talk about doing the game multi platform, and then, when I actually DID it, I realized that there is a lots of time spending in doing the port for a specific platform. And then people started to tell me, "and how about ST ? and dreamcast ? and genesis ? and I want a NeoGeo CD version too !" and so on... I'm sorry, I don't have magical power, or infinite time to spend on this project, I've been working on it since about 2 years now, I'm getting a bit tired of it, so the Jaguar version should be the last one Edited September 15, 2012 by Orion_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surely not being critical here Orion, was just "random thinking" a bit there... Thank you again for supporting the Falcon and the Jaguar - much appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why it happened not ? Likely because need for more floppies for game distro, then SW licensing costs , + ? ... I saw Elansar only on You Tube, so can not really judge possible problems expectable. Of course, if you want to do alone everything, it is really too much I have Falcon, but somehow not much interested for special Falcon SW. Even if there is really not much of it. ST, STE, Falcon, Amiga, etc - all it is prehistoric now. But you never forget first love Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParanoidLittleMan Posted September 21, 2012 Share Posted September 21, 2012 Nothing to stop you making your own game for the ST that is similar, have at it! That's OK. As said, doing something new - with new solutions is what today has sense with prehistoric computers. I see that many people would like enhanced versions of popular games like Giana, Turrican, etc. Turrican update is even started some years ago, but seems as abandoned project. I think that people just wants too much - doing something really quality is huge work. And I discover often some old, good game, pretty much unknown. So maybe instead doing new, just look better in past Well, despite all above said, it may happen that I go crazy, and start to work on something with animated high-color for STE. Not new game, just improved v. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Hmm, has anyone had any trouble running Elansar? I finally got around to playing it a bit on my setup. It runs fine in 256 color mode, and TC mode, with my CT60 disabled. However, with the CT60 enabled, it either gives me a black screen or an exception error in 256 color mode, or a mostly black screen with scrambled graphics in TC mode. Thanks, and thanks for a great game. I only got as far as the Lighthouse, gotta figure out the combination, but it sure looks and sounds good.

Orion_ Posted October 9, 2012 Author Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) strange, it works on my CT60 under Mint and under TOS in 256 colors mode, and 2 friends of mine tested it on a ct60+ctpci+radeon in true color mode, it works for them too do you have the same problem with other game or app on your ct60 ? might be a stability problem ? you just can't run the true color version of elansar without a ct60, because it need the ctpci + radeon ! (and the .app is compiled for 060 so it will crash on 030) Edited October 9, 2012 by Orion_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DarkLord Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Ah, then I need to go back and double-check what I did because I most certainly do not have a Radeon. As far as other software goes, I run stuff from the demoscene(s) all the time with no problems, and 256 color games like Ishar3 work fine. Thanks, I'll post back if I discover anything. (and its not that big a deal because it will work with the CT60 disabled - just a matter of flipping a toggle switch on my case here).
