LinkoVitch Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Also, I need to hand out some other credits here - for Llamatron and all the other ST ports this month. SCPCD / Jagware - for the insanely optimized planar to chunky conversion routine. LinkoVitch / U235 - for the U235 Sound Engine. ggn for the additional support / testing / bug-finding / helping sort through raw 68000 code. ZeroSquare - for some very nice audio work. None of these would be possible without the above, they are all vital pieces of the puzzle. Cheers chief! I am super stoked that my engine is proving useful Best get my thumb out my bum and get more of it finished off! Also yay! Llamatron on the Jag! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinkoVitch Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I should have given him the cash when I saw him at Play last year... Think I'll wait to see him at play this year give it to him in person 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sh3-rg Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) What I love about this game is it's awesome, it's of its time, it plays so well and it's so very "Minter". (I can see why getting hands on with a Jaguar might have had someone giggling like a schoolgirl with the possibilities, allowing more of the "sparkles"... can't think of a better term for the eye candy... hmm, eye candy might have done at a push but it doesn't quite cover it, hah). You could take this game, do this, that or the other to it in order to make it "more Jaguar", and that might even be fun for someone to do, but when it's such a lovely little bundle of awesomeness to begin with, just getting as close to that as possible is all that's needed. I'm trying but failing to come up with a good analogy, and I generally detest any that involve cars, but I guess it'd be like putting electric windows, mp3 players and fluffy dice in some old classic car. Actually, any car becomes more awesome with fluffy dice, so scratch that part. Wish he would visit e-Jagfest...^^ Yeah, if that happened, you're gonna need a bigger boat (venue).

neo_rg Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Did CJ manage to squeeze in that subliminal messaging system he was talking about..... All hail The Ozric Tentacle....

Rick Dangerous Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I just realized if I bought a Playstation TV i could theoretically play TxK on the big screen. Anyone tried this yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaztee has, it's one of the many things to do on my things to do list, once I find my Vita TV... it's *somewhere* around here... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killersquirel Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 TxK looks and plays great on the Playstation TV as it also does on the vita itself. Word on the street is that it's coming to the PS4 and will be compatible with the PS4's virtual reality headset. That will be the game that gets me to buy the virtual reality headset when it comes!-mike 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+CyranoJ Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 So, reports indicate that the last bit of 68000->GPU substitution brought this up to a nice 50fps on PAL, so just score saving to add now and it's a wrap! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any possibility of a nice hardcopy of this being made with necessary proceeds going to various parties involved?

Clint Thompson Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Jumping in on the donation bandwagon to Minter. I can only imagine some bizarre / initial shock seeing 10-20+ donations all at once for Llamatron coming in all these years later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love an official Reboot/Llamasoft copy... I just do the easy stuff like coding. sh3 does all that hard stuff like marketing Marketing? Eek. I just do the easy stuff like designing the look of the thing and dealing with the factory, oh and handing them cashmoney from Reboot's infamous moneymountain CJ had an idea people might want this to own and play this from physical media, he's received permission to put out physical copies of his port. It's a single-load binary and therefore cheapest, quickest and easiest to press to CD. I've also got to make a couple of carts for the llamasofties to put in their jagbag of fun when they go out on tour, so I'll likely make one for CJ for his amazing efforts with these ST binaries, GGN for his useful in-depth knowledge of the original and how it played on ST (misspent youth and all that), SCPCD and linko for their awesome screen conversion and sample-bothering routines respectively. I'd like one as well but this will be my only input on this one. Oh, I want to replace the splash screen with something reflecting those above who conspired to make it happen as well as, you know, the guy who made it in the first place. As for the packaging, I'd like to keep it simple but in-keeping with the game in the context of a recent Jaguar CD release. Be nice to give some of these to the llamaguys as well, even if all they do is frisbee them past bewildered sheep.

omf Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 both will do, i guess it depends if it will save anything to cartridge / cd memory track, if it isn't going to use the cartridge at all for saving then just do the cheaper option and make cds. i would prefer a cartridge myself for easiness, but saving is nice too. ill take whatever, but hoping for a fully functional cartridge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh3-rg Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Everyone would prefer cartridges, that much is obvious. But being a self-employed father, I value my time more than anything, and after making df+ last year and ending up losing about two working weeks of my life in a pretty-important-to-be-out-working-and-earning part of the year, I'm in no rush to go there again unless the game demands it (read: Rebooteroids) and I'll be marking the diary accordingly and allowing for my efforts. This is entirely different, a couple of days designing, burning and testing, send a package to a factory and it's fire and forget until it's time to put things in boxes, and I can manage that at weekends or rainy days when I can't be out grafting much easier than all the hassles that come with producing boxed carts. Just please, no, don't ask for carts for a 1mb ST game, CD is the ideal solution and we're lucky we're allowed to make it happen. More Minter on Jaguar ps It'll have memory track save, of course. And you can just do the usual and make your own eprom cart anyway, from the released binary or ripped from the CD. .. it won't save, though, unless you hack away like your name is CJ Edited February 3, 2015 by sh3-rg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
