8Bitjunkie Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Is it very annoying when I shout again how much fun I have with this game! I love it! Thank you very much Maybe it is interesting to you that we are still working on "Dimo's Quest Returns on Atari 8Bit" (Dimo's Quest in ABBUC Land was a Kind of "spin off") So stay tuned for much more level, highscorelist, password-system, more animated monster and a story-intro... Furthermore, in 2015 there will also be * "Dimo's Quest Returns to C64" * "Dimo's Quest Returns to IOS" * "Dimo's Quest Returns to Android" 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this doable? Is so perhaps a small hint b) I really hope we get lots of new levels for this as there's tons of potential. c) The movement is a little quick but you get used to it, however a non Atari friend played and struggled a bit; you might consider an easy option with everything slowed down a little. a) I have send you a PN b) So do i :-) c) good idea... check out www.talios.de/dimo on sunday for a new version... just to repeat c) my sister also had a go on Dimo's Quest this week and had the same problem with the movement, she kept accidentally falling off when collecting sweets despite being careful. So if you can slow the game down just a little as it is and have a separate easy mode where it's much slower more people would enjoy the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8Bitjunkie Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) Did the promised ntsc fix happen for this wonderful software? The longer it takes the harder it may become to do.... Unfortunately, there are not enough scanlines available for the gamelogic with NTSC. I have a version which runs fine when only one or two monsters are involved. but in PAL-Version, there are up to ten, and they have to be moved (as they can use Switches) and have to be drawn... So unless no Code-GOD is telling me how to improve the monster handling there will be no NTSC Version: maybe there is chance on the fujiama event this fall... i will keep you up to date. at this point i am working on an expanded modul version: * intro with 80 seconds digitized speech (german, sorry) * five cut Scenes * five different "worlds" with diffrent ingame graphics * 52 level * end sequence * saveable highscore list [ Edited March 28, 2016 by 8Bitjunkie 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Bitjunkie Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) By the way, there is a newer disc version available - the german "Lurch Edition"(as presented on the last ABBUC General Meeting 2015) * slightly improved title picture* one diskside with game and all level * 32 level (featuring the level of the ABBUC contest version and the NEW-YEAR-2015 DISK)* every level can be accessed and played freely* one highscore for each level * one DISC-SCORE (sum of all level highscores)* you may abort level and choose another with ESC (2 times) * you can pause game with SPACE please see attachment...

8Bitjunkie Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 sorry, the fix for the Dimo's Quest New Year Disk 2015 was buggy, too :-( Please use this fix instead...sorry for that. Dimo-NYD-fixed2.atr 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Waiting for the Fujiama event then... in the mean time how many scan lines to drop to make it workable? taking some from the top and taking some from the bottom.. or so many that it would be better to move everything around for the any difference in count... My apologies, I understand real life is always in the way.... last time you and I talked about it was November of 2014.... at that time it was stated you might be able to do it in a couple months or so. I really didn't expect any insults being a small code - not God person. I was very surprised to be met with such a statement. I took it for granted as friends that it was happening. Apologies to the code God whoever that may be and please Lords of Lines forgive my transgressions and bless us all with NTSC fix for wonderful game that only has slight glitching on certain screens. Any chance is a good chance I loved the work and am not sure why... oh well...... might as well just stop typing....not sure what went wrong... shrugs.... Thank you for the fixes, updates and joy your hard work brings! _The Doctor__ Edited March 29, 2016 by _The Doctor__ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathy Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Hello Doc Am I right in reading into your comment that you toke 8Bitjunkies comment about "code-god" as a negative remark towards you? I've met 8Bitjunkie a couple of times and I'm sure that's not how he meant it. Sincerely Mathy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+thegoldenband Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Cool to see this! I've played the game a bit on CD-i and enjoyed it, so it's nice to see it find its way to new platforms. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8Bitjunkie Posted March 30, 2016 Author Share Posted March 30, 2016 (edited) Hello _The Doctor__, sorry, in no way i wanted to offend you!i am as sad as you that i wasn't able to do a NTSC version yet.Maybe my coding knowlage just isn't good enough to speed up code to the desired level. So i hope a more sophisticated programmer ("a coding GOD", like JAC! for excample) can help me maybe i have to drop a few monster for NTSC, but that is "plan b" so looking forward for a NTSC version, but it just takes more time than expected ;-(Thank yoy for playing Dimo 8Bitjunkie Edited March 30, 2016 by 8Bitjunkie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've played the game a bit on CD-i and enjoyed it, so it's nice to see it find its way to new platforms. yes, the CD-i Version was a port of my original Amiga version. But i did not know why they chanced the storyline from a frog to a kid... for the atari moduie version i try to be as close to the amiga version as possible, i think we are on a good way... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
