ultima Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Been working on some ideas to bring this into some kind of playable form. Here's a few working screenshots any thoughts? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+save2600 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Thoughts? Good luck! Would/could be an EPIC game if done well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+DZ-Jay Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I'd like to know more about how you plan on depicting the Colossi battles. That's the heart of the game, in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ultima Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 I'd like to know more about how you plan on depicting the Colossi battles. That's the heart of the game, in my opinion. I'm not sure how I'll do that without testing several possibilities but I think first off it will require a Genesis controller or dual joysticks (Raiders of the Lost Arc style) for actions selection. It will require at the least a gravity engine with some inertia attacks by the colossi. My biggest concern atm is how to code the light rays from the ancient sword to "find" the colossi, and how Dormin will convey info to the Wander...in bB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walaber Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 I definitely think you need to focus on the colossus battles first. if you get that to work and feel good, it will be worth solving all the other problems. the idea of the colossuses being constructed of the playfield is cool. perhaps they can be bigger than the screen (and moving) and you have to climb up from a side view, where pressing the directions climbs in that direction (by holding onto the fur), and holding the button tightens your grip for when they shake?

triverse Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Wrote up an article for this. http://retrogamingmagazine.com/2015/01/27/bandit-gaming-shadow-colossus-atari-2600-work-progress/I think the idea for using the bosses as the level is an awesome idea that would work well for this port. The bosses were basically mini levels in the PS2 title anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
