Intymike Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Mystery Musician has done a brilliant arrangement of Holst's The Planets for the title sequence of the game. Its quite moody and atmospheric and fits the Martian theme of the mini games well. Which of the planet themes is it? Mars the bringer of war? My favorite is Jupiter, bringer of jollity.

+JasonlikesINTV Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Which of the planet themes is it? Mars the bringer of war? My favorite is Jupiter, bringer of jollity. OMG, you read my mind! Mars is very warlike with lots of clashes and bangs. It's amazing that it was written 100 years ago, yet still could serve as the soundtrack to modern warfare....or a Mars video game Jupiter is the best of them all! It starts off frolicy and sputterery, then it finds itself and has a super triumphant theme, which is beautiful. Then it ends solid. I hope it has some Jupiter! Would be good for when you beat the game and are watching credits.....ah, Megaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 The new title page tune is in the game as well as the sound effects engine. Mystery Musician is coming up with a tune to fly along to in Caverns as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 The new Mystery Musician tune is now in Caverns. Once I've added increasing difficulty (its at medium/hard in the teaser ROM in the 1st post) and some sound effects Caverns will be pretty much done. The other two mini games still need to be finished and polished so its not in the home straight yet. Then I need to add a nice "stats page" to display the combined results of all the mini games.

Thanks for the progress report! Hmmm. On August 16th you wrote... Posted Fri Aug 16, 2013 9:15 PM ebelhaki, on Fri Aug 16, 2013 9:07 PM, said: Does this mean its almost ready for release? There is still some work to do on this one. Menace needs quite a bit more doing to it, everything needs difficulty settings and sound effects and I still need to decide what the 4th mini game will be too. Does this mean that you have decided against a 4th game? Catsfolly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Does this mean that you have decided against a 4th game? I have some vague ideas for a 4th mini game but nothing concrete at the moment. However, I don't know if I can make something fun out of the ideas that I've had so far . Some experimentation might be required and it also depends on the space available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant recall the thread, but I remember something about u being a speed coding contest. Maybe build/tweak/ add our twist to on one of the games from the speed coding contest and add it to this one if there is room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hero in the AC2013 speed coding contest game was a medieval knight so there is not really a link to Mars there. I'll be going back to the AC2013 game at some point so I don't really want to take an idea from it for another game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+cmart604 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Maybe the knight experienced a "John Carter" type event and was transported to Mars???? Now you have a Mars game just waiting to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 My plan is to get the 3 mini games up to a good standard and see what ROM space is left before committing to a 4th game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catsfolly Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Maybe the 4th game could feature some little green men who are trying to cross a (rather busy) Martian canal in order to retrieve their "Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator" and rescue Santa Claus.... Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
