snicklin Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I love isometric games, so this one will be great. And it doesn't show slowdown when overlapping certain regions of the screen which is a big bonus indeed. Fandal, has there been any work in optimising this? (Now I ask that, I bet that there has been a lot!) Would a nice g2f or Rastaconverter image be possible on load-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh, I've taken a look through AtariOnline and I see that there are two versions, one running quicker with extra memory. That's a good strategy. Fandal, would it be possible to ship the game with some form of memory map of the program (or source code)? It'd be nice to be able to manually create our own graphics and add them into our own levels, within the memory constraints of the existing program.

Fres Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Looks pretty cool for a mono iso convo. Great music too. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aking Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 These mono conversions don't do the A8 any justice imho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
José Pereira Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 These mono conversions don't do the A8 any justice imho It seems that the onlys that can get it other than mono like you said are the Z80 Amstrad CPC and the 6502 BBC but then the bitmap screen doubles the memory needed and just for the screen. At least A8 has PMGs and Artifacting. Most and old 8bit computers work hi-res as two, bit 0 and bit 1 so even the specific A8 colours and luminances can be, if just some 'heading' be done other ways ...

José Pereira Posted July 26, 2013 Author Share Posted July 26, 2013 BBC has their hi hi res in two colours 640 but the machine only has 32KBs of Memory. Amstrad CPC also but them you get good looking 3colours 320x screen 12KBs/16KBs that look may look amazing in Batman and Head Over Heels but even these two I'll maybe use that 3+1 colours other way... But then if no Rasters then same gfxs 320x Mode in a Manic Miner or Jet Set Willy on CPC or BBC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snicklin Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Wow, it seems a great game. I just need to get my head around this control mechanism. I have to get Head over Heels's control method out of my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

José Pereira Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 Nice idea. But wasn't my suggestion. Miker on the next game what group wil the music come from? Can we start making suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
