+evg2000 Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Does your paint program allow you to save a .pal (palette file) ? is a .pal file a text file? If it is it might be easily convert to a gimp gpl file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retroillucid Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 is a .pal file a text file? If it is it might be easily convert to a gimp gpl file As far as I know It's a .pal file You don't need a .pal file, it just make things easier You can just use this color palette (it's just not a .pal file) but you can probably create one yourself in gimp https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/89/MSX_palette.png Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retroillucid Posted June 16, 2018 Author Share Posted June 16, 2018 Woah!!! .... Its been a long time!! While I was browsing through our game projects, I've noticed that we have a bunch of projects that are ready to be programmed. My goal is to resume some of them in 2018/2019, wich include Leisure Suit Larry This game is in my top 10 best games of all time, I like it that much, so for sure I want this project to be done! So you can expect us to release it next year! Meanwhile, I had the honor to meet the one and only; Al LoweNeedless to say how Al is a gentlemen but also a very funny guy! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imstarryeyed Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Great pic, I imagined Al Lowe would be a really cool guy! You all look so happy in that picture! I am glad you are going to continue that game.. I loved it and grew up with too! I hope you are going to have those questions in the beginning that validate your age you put in at the start of the game. I always thought that was one of the best parts of those games! Haha.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MiniRPG Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 (edited) The thumbnails look amazing! Sierra Online was a huge inspiration for the type of games I wanted to make back in the day. King's Quest is another I'd love to see ported. Edited July 26, 2018 by MiniRPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King's Quest is another I'd love to see ported. Thanks! I pretty much love all the early Sierra games I would like to see Space Quest, Police Quest, King's Quest being ported to the ColecoVision But we would definitely needs a keyboard for those titles... Though, I heard a certain CollectorVision Phoenix will have keyboard support..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like using a layer of pure blue/green checkerboard to measure misc things. Depending on what exactly I'm looking for, I use different levels of opacity, but I usually just set it at 25% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
