gorfcadet Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Don't worry, you will see something at some point; sooner or later. I just can't say what or when or how much. AREA 78 assets should pick back up spring break or summer. Teaching and other projects have to take priority, but I still have the folder on the first row of my desktop.

Stun Runner 87 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I wish I had one of those spaceship sleep chambers like on the 1979 movie "Alien"....I would program it to wake me up when this game is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 Assets I can kick out in a reasonable timeframe; finished game? Better set the sleep chamber for a good nap. Unless you have some favors to call in from some of the experienced guys around here. I know the heavy hitters around here all have projects underway, but all things in time. Thats what you get with a graphics guy, fast pretty assets, but slow on the code. Its also contest season for my journalism kids so free time goes out the window sometimes.

Stun Runner 87 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 Take you're time.........no rush..........and we appreciate you're efforts...........besides, this sleep chamber is quite comfortable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockman_x_2002 Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Regretfully, work and life has been fairly busy with me as well, so I haven't really had an opportunity to really do any work on the next musical composition of the actual game. I have, however, come up with this little chestnut. Basically, this is the little Capcom jingle that played in the intro for pretty much all their games during the SNES/Genesis era (and some NES games saw it as well). It includes both the RMT and SAP file for it. Also, I am eventually going to compile all these under one roof into a single RMT and SAP file. I don't yet know how to do that, but that's my intention at least once I get a more complete package of the soundtrack from the game. Of course if someone experienced with RMT creation would like to help me with some of that, I don't mind sharing the stage. unsquadron_capcom.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorfcadet Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Sorry, I am on a couple of projects, but they are still under wraps for now. A78 is on the backburner for now, but summer break is coming up... what there is of it after mandatory teacher workshops anyway! Right now teaching stuff is more than I can handle: yearbook, graduation, prom, and journalism convention are all going on. I still open the graphics folders when I get time. Hopefully, you will all dig what's coming! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt Vendel Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 WOW! I have to say, the ST Version is the closest the to the Arcade, I wish the Tramiels had taken Rod Zydbel's advice and made an ST system into a game console in 87-88... That system would've blown the doors off of the Sega Genesis, the SNES and anything else and really would've given Atari a massive advantage in the videogaming market, would've increased its purchasing of ST related parts (IC chips and other common components) and their own PC costs would've gone down allowing them even higher profits, it would've been a win-win overall for Atari. There is a C64 version starting at 2:27 in this comparison video :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Jkp1E06FHk It'd need quite a bit of work to get it running directly on the 7800.

ZylonBane Posted April 20, 2013 Share Posted April 20, 2013 WOW! I have to say, the ST Version is the closest the to the Arcade, I wish the Tramiels had taken Rod Zydbel's advice and made an ST system into a game console in 87-88... I think you may be confused, as the ST version is very obviously more choppy and less colorful than the SNES version. As for the ST as a game console... no. Just no. It had no hardware sprites, no hardware scrolling, only 16 onscreen colors (without raster tricks), 8-bit era sound, and such a sprawling chipset that I very much doubt it could have been sold at a competitive price.

+Stephen Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 For once I agree with XB. I think the ST would have been a dismal gaming system for the above mentioned reasons. It floors me that the original A8 chipset was never expanded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorfcadet Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Nothing to report. I had been on another project (very excited about that one) with someone and just as that was wrapping up, my personal life became absolute chaos. Hopefully, things will turn around soon. We've had multiple health issues and professional issues in the family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've had multiple health issues and professional issues in the family. I wish you well.Sorry for bumping this thread so much, LoL.Its just that your UN Squadron port potentially could probably outdo any homebrew ever made for the 7800.It would really test the limits of what the 7800 is really capable of.Its unlike any game for the system so far and more complex in comparrison to any game attempted that I've seen...But of course, family comes first......much understood.Take you time, and I hope all your family issies work out for the best.Peace.

gorfcadet Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Thanks Stun, I appreciate the kind words! Maybe if I could woo GB away from the Inty or con PMP or one of the others who really know what they're doing I could just do graphics and the pace would pick up. Arkansas just added a million new hoops for teachers and family health is just one hit after another. I've lost over 30 lbs, but my blood pressure stays the same! Its gotta be the kids! I know what I have planned is possible, its just getting time to do anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stun Runner 87 Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 (edited) can you credit that to atari usage? LoL, no, not Atari usage...........I credit it to the anxiety waiting on UN Squadron and the rest of the games in the making...............the suspense burns the fat out of me through the stress its causing me........

Stun Runner 87 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 What happened? I was really looking forward to updates on this one. havnt heard anything about UN Squadron in well over 3 months. Dont give up on this dream. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Runner 87 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Hello. Sorry to bump this old thread again, but i was just wondering if GorfCadet has made any new progress on this admirable attempt to port a version of UN Sqauadron. I would love to see this acompolished someday. The graphics by GorfCadet looked pretty damned cool. Is a programmer goin to help G.C finish this project someday? Courious.
