retroillucid Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 I've finally decide to do it! For quite some years, I wanted to do this! Doing a remake of my favorite game of all time; Snatcher! The only english version available is the SegaCD version wich cost ALOT of money to get CIB The SegaCD version is the best in my opinion! .... and it's the only version available in english, so... I'll make a remake of Snatcher with slightly improved graphics, since why fix something that is not broken? Like I said, the SegaCD version is already perfect, but I want it to be less pixelate, hence the slightly updated graphics I'll use all the original english text from the SegaCD version as well as the speach audio For music, I'll have all songs remixed but staying as close as possible as the original tunes Here's a screenshot of the SegaCD version compared to the new slightly updated graphics Hope you like 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Gemintronic Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 First, for standalone DVD players Then on PC and maybe other consoles if possible Are you one of the rare few who know how to use the internal code that makes up DVD menus? There was at least one guy that figured it out enough to make simple games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troy_Whelan Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 This would be great on the DreamCast and I would think the conversion would be comparable to building this for a PC. ColecoVision conversion would also be great, but likely much more difficult than the DreamCast. However I would buy both if you made both! I would likely not buy it for the PC.

youki Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 On dreamcast, it is wonderfull , not as the colecovision... but i'll buy it ! Did you find the developper to do that? Don't say me it is Michel... ( he has great experience on Dreamcast ) Anyway Developping on Dreamcast is lot of easier than on CV mainly, nowaday where we have solid emulator on PC. When i developped few little things on Dreamcast 10 years ago it was more difficult to test your games... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
