+intvsteve Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Great, they saved the day!!!!! and piggy variant prices.... lol *whew* Still, it's only a matter of time before the reproduction baggies come out. How will we be able to verify legitimate copies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+BBWW Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 You would have to examine them carefully for color and type. Baggie styles change about every two years. LOL Next Piggy will ship in pink bags and pink Mailers. But the sequel to Piggy is on the back burner while we do something we hope will be cool. *whew* Still, it's only a matter of time before the reproduction baggies come out.

+BBWW Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Info soon. Look for limited information next week. Don't have anything to show right now, we are deep in the guts of the game and none of the fun stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Jay Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Received some pork in the mail Saturday. Only had fifteen or twenty minutes to play so far. Trying to work through level 4. I really like the mix of puzzle slash platformer. Thanks again, BBWW and others. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HunterZero Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Arrived here in Australia today! Great fun. Very sharp controls. Good work! Intellivision lends itself well to clever platform and maze games like this. - J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellivision lends itself well to clever platform and maze games like this. - J The only "problem" that I see with these sort of games on the Intellivision (which is not much of a problem), is that the resolution is so chunky that the levels feel too small. However, you can overcome this by just making tons of levels (like Piggy Bank) to keep it fresh and challenging. Alternatively, platform games could adopt a style like "Jumpman" or "Lode Runner," where the player's avatar is a teeny tiny sprite with little detail, which allows for a more dense play-field by making platforms half-card size or so. -dZ.

I went for the opposite in Piggy Bank and had a larger character but with 4 pixel high platforms. Thicker platforms made the game feel even more chunkier. It would be interesting to see an SMB style platformer on the Inty because the game could have much bigger, free roaming levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More levels isn't such a bad route, I always liked the page flipping games like Jet Set Willy where you just have a series of diverse rooms. Well it is kind of problem with creating recognizable characters, like if you try for 4X4 level blocks you can do a stick guy about 8 pixels tall. Functional but generic, worked well in Load Runner. As far as a SMB style game you need at least 8X16 to create a little guy with some charm. Piggy Bank looks like a cool game, the title page threw me off, thought it was some kind of edutainment title about managing money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellivet Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 But what I have to do to have 1 copy of Piggy request long ago on this post? Looks like Piggy Bank is available for sale ($64.75) on Good Deal Games Homebrew Heaven website at present! Doesn't say how many copies are available, though... hope you get one! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freewheel Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Threads like this make me think. Now, our Piggy wasn't a CIB(ox) release. So my thinking may not really apply there. But hypothetically for a CIB release, that you missed out on - are people willing to shell out for a cart-only release after the fact? It's a hell of a lot easier to spit out 5-10 copies of a cart than it is to get the entire CIB works done. Presuming the author is willing, would people want this? Or would it just drive people crazy with another variant? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
