Stage_1_Boss Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 That'd be great to have more RPG-like games available on the Jaguar. = ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmbe Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Looks like Orion already answered the question: KGRAMR unfortunately, it's not a question of demand, it's a question of feasibility. It won't be possible to have this game running at decent speed on the Jaguar, there is too much graphic layers to be displayed, not enough RAM, and the transparency of magical effects won't be possible on Jaguar as it doesn't fully support alpha blending. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroSanctum Posted April 29, 2016 Share Posted April 29, 2016 Alpha blending, stops the game being made. A real shame, but maybe we could get a different RPG from them in the future? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Havoc 2049 Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 http://onorisoft.free.fr/retroshop/index.html#Zia PS1, but no Jaguar version?!?!? Nooooo!!!! It's 1995 all over again!!! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion_ Posted April 30, 2016 Share Posted April 30, 2016 (edited) it's not just alpha blending, it's also graphic layers. For Alice I had 2 layers of 32x32 tiles and even with the blitter, I got 30 fps on this RPG I have 3 layers of 16x16 tiles + dialog text, etc..., it would barely run at 15 fps and I think the 2Mbytes of memory would be too short for double buffered 3 graphic layers + all gfx assets and sfx In the end, this RPG will take about 1 year of fulltime work, I can't go for another 6 months to 1 year of redoing an RPG just for the Jaguar, sorry Edited April 30, 2016 by Orion_ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Dangerous Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I can't go for another 6 months to 1 year of redoing an RPG just for the Jaguar, sorry Why not? That's a fraction of the development cycle for most Jaguar games? And, it would be automatically one of the top 2 RPG's on the system!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you say no Orion... but if there's any chance this becomes a YES... please let me know also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee I didn't think the Jaguar was that hard pressed for parallax, 3 layers is a lot huh? If the memory for the game is that large there isn't anything one can do to increase that 2MB other than cutting things out. Does it have to double buffer, would it get that unstable visually without it? I guess that is a dumb question with the lack of video memory. I'm not pressing you for a port but I am curious about the bottlenecks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
