GraziGamer Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 Wow this is amazing! Rly! I design the OpcodeGames boxes/labels/etc (ColecoVision). If you need someone to develop the art box, labels, manuals, etc, I would be glad to help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imstarryeyed Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 The game looks great, and I have to give it credit for the greatest game title...

DracIsBack Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Oh, they have been. Just starting back to work actually. That's exciting news! Thank you! If you need testers, let us know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 The game looks great, and I have to give it credit for the greatest game title... Dream Princess Adventure Love it, love it, love it... I hope you are going for a pink cart for it one day!! I like the pink cart idea. I'm leaning into my Japanese design influences. I'd love box art that would look right at home next to Parodius with a pink cart! I'd love to see a super deformed homage to the original Super Mario Bros. Famicom cart artwork. Just started working in Pyxel Edit to start laying out the levels recently now that the graphical assets are pretty solid. I'd show more, but I want to avoid spoiling hidden areas and other goodies. When I get farther along I may share a censored map. If I can do that without ruining a lot of the exploration. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sgrddy Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 That looks really cool. I can't wait to play a demo level, or to even see a vid of one. It's such a huge endeavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 This game's spritework reminds me of Rainbow Islands, and the cat reminds me of Tiny Toons' Furball. (In a good way.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 This game's spritework reminds me of Rainbow Islands, and the cat reminds me of Tiny Toons' Furball. (In a good way.) LOL! I was going for Sylvester, but working in 12x16 that is what happens! One of my students was peeking over my shoulder and said the same thing! His napping frames I hope really show his Sylvester influence. One day I want to see a Balloon Fight clone with my jet pack cat. Now I want to put a Baby Plucky in the game that says, "No you turn, is my turn. I push the button." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Just some tile work for the game. The cosplayers in the dance hall won't be there in the final game. Copyright but wanted to share the joy. The goose that lays the golden egg is my spin on the Mario coin heaven. Mega Man II fans will see my inspiration for the lava bridge scene once it is done. Hope everyone is well! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gorfcadet Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) LOL. Thanks guys! I do like Johnny Thunder though! Magic thunderbolt would be cool! Edited February 3, 2018 by gorfcadet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlidellMan Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 I look forward to actual gameplay footage. Judging from the art style, you must be a big Taito fan. (Bobble Bobble, its sequels, and Bonze Adventure.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Been plugging away. Just some thoughts for the title screen. The map is way more populated (about 65 percent done) but I don't want to show it until I've hidden bits that need to be kept secret. Hope you guys and gals dig it. I'm going for a Mario 3 title screen homage here. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Defender_2600 Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Great work, gorfcadet! As a side note, I would just suggest to consider the real pixel aspect ratio so that, as far as possible, this graphics do not look "wide" on real hardware. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Posted February 9, 2018 Share Posted February 9, 2018 Any actual code to share as of yet? I'd love to see more of this outside of the mockup picture files for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorfcadet Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) Defender - Yeah, Im pretty sure this is going to be in fat mode, but that is out of my hands. Im just the slacker designer. To get the colors we want onscreen Im pretty sure we are stuck with fat mode. I thought about cutting pixels to accommodate the stretch, but I lost to much expression in my characters. Shawn - me too. But one does not rush the programmer! Jk. Im not sure if he is going to be interested in sharing until its near complete. Which I understand. At first we were not going to even announce the game until it was done, but Im a blabber mouth. When someone drops all that crazy Atari money on my doorstep, Ill quit my day job and me and my partner will get er done. Nobody wants this done and playable and in a pink cartridge more than me! Thanks for the feedback guys! I hope everyone is doing well. So many cool things going on here while I was gone. Im glad to see Curt back; is PmP still around?
