+Cafeman Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 http://cafeman.www9.50megs.com/atari/5200d...offiKopter.html I estimate that Koffi: Yellow Kopter is 50% done. The engine seems to work fine so far. I still have work to do in the area of falling raindrops (missiles), an on-screen water indicator, and designing a few more stages, but I feel I know how to do these things and they shouldn't take as long to do as the first half of the game took. The biggest unknown right now for me: sound and music. I have downloaded and bookmarked several places to read up on this, from the AtariArchives to stuff Heaven mentioned to OldGuru's examples. Koffi has absolutely no sound yet, and I'm sure my first attempts at FX will suck, so I'll need to re-do them over & over until I learn what sounds good. I wanted to get a few more things done and then release a limited ROM of koffi to everyone here; however, I still don't quite feel right about one or two things, and it looks like this is the farthest I'll get for this month. Anyway, please check out the update posted above! Man, this "koffi" project is dragging on longer than I figured! I think Koffi will be done by May 2002. I THINK.

Adrian M Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 YAY!!! It's good to know things are progressing for you! I've been reading up on this game's progress and I can't wait to get a finished copy to play in my actual 5200!! Good luck on the other 50% of development!

Albert Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Wow, looks great, thaniks for the udpate! I can't wait to see screenshots for Stages Two through Five! Even more, I can't wait to play it! ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGuru Posted February 26, 2002 Share Posted February 26, 2002 Looks promissing to me! Can't wait to play it. BTW: Are you going to have a demo ready for PhillyClassic? OldGuru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 Glad you guys like it so far! @OldGuru: yes, I will bring a cartridge version of Koffi to Philly Classic. However, I'm not sure how & where I'll show it; I'm hoping I'll know somebody there with a 5200 setup & just ask around. Any suggestions? I didn't get a table or anything.

Heaven/TQA Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 keep on coding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie_ Posted February 27, 2002 Share Posted February 27, 2002 Cafeman, Are you going to the Nava meeting in NJ this weekend? I was hoping you'd have a version on a cart for us to play. :-) Charlie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted February 27, 2002 Author Share Posted February 27, 2002 I'm not going, sorry. If you are going to Philly Classic, I'll have a cart of Koffi there. If AlanD or OldGuru want to bring it along, they can contact me before the show (those 2 can burn eproms and I think they both might be going).

+Cafeman Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Okay, it appears that Koffi will indeed be making an appearance at the NAVA meeting. Hope you enjoy it but remember its early & not 100% functional yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
