Gury Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Yeah, looks like you are the closest Atari enthusiast to me No worries, you'll here from me for sure once Abbucc is finished... Have some ideas of incorporating your Effectus compiler into my game maker so will need help. Slovenia is on my list for visit so expect a call once we start going your way Nothing better than discussing 6502 code over barbecue and glass of cold drink Great to hear that. You are welcome here, cold drink is waiting No doubt, it will surely be a good discussion, I like to talk a lot. No problem, I will help you as much as I can with Effectus. And more, project will continue after ABBUC competition. Lot of code reworking is planned with new features. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hallo Paul Oooooooh, nice coffee mug. Problem with a lot of mugs is, that they influence the taste of what you put in it. Sincerely Mathy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+therealbountybob Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I've got my game elements more or less working, just a couple of technical things to fix, am hoping I can keep most of the last week free to pull it all together. Still hoping for someone to help with the graphics/layouts I've got right back into assembly programming after a year or so off, it's really enjoyable. Strangely I've not got a name for my game yet. A couple of problems to work out but it's going well! While I wait for my 130XE to run it's latest MAC/65 assemble... Still open to anyone wanting to help out (it will be a Space Themed Vertical Scroller, I know, imagine that!) PMGs - Single player PMGs / animations Playfields - Single character set playfield design, can be from scratch or just laying out some maps using what I have done already. Will be Antic 5 / Graphics 13 again (like in Ramp Rage) but more colours can be use for the design as I will have less features. Title Screen! Sound effects - not time for a complex system so would be some simple ones perhaps created in basic and give me the values? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmilo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Thank you to all of the entrants for using their free time, and for those that wanted to but could not do the dead line then maybe next year? Nahhh, can't postpone it one more year Checking old code and seeing something like '2013' in date of some files makes me go "wtf have I been doing for three years?" and realise it's all about real life getting in way of important stuff like coding retro games So, this year it's v1.0 even if it's not the game I want it to be. Next year is reserved for "the game - sequel" Hello popmiloYou should try Caf-Pow! lol, you got me there, been drinking it already, will have to use double dose 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next year is reserved for "the game - sequel" Good decission! At some point, you have to release it. Even if you want it to be "more". If i would have waited til Dimo's Quest is exaktly like i want it to be - well - um - i have still a lot of work to do for the cart version two years after release now... so, release it! You can make it "bigger" after the ABBUC Competition as well... Maybe you wanna share a screenshot with us? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
popmilo Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Maybe you wanna share a screenshot with us? Sure, here is title screen of v0.1 Hope I'll have some updates with actual gameplay shots till end of this week... Otherwise I'm in deep trouble with finishing before deadline 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetz Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Hey...been playing a little Mad Marbles today, http://www.atarimania.com/game-atari-400-800-xl-xe-mad-marbles_3087.html, scoping out the competition. Haha, I think that was my first game back then, coded on paper during a boring holiday with my Atari some hundred kilometers away, in 1990 or so ... This year's ABBUC entry is actually my second ever pure Assembler game (after Floppy Bird in 2014), again in less than 1kB: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUmIMILaKcY At least we're enough participants now that the contest can actually start off !

freetz Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yeah, it was supposed to be an example for a planned 25th anniversary edition of German disk based magazine "User Mag" that unfortunately didn't take off (yet), so I decided to pitch it now in the contest ...

José Pereira Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Hmmm, how about an update of X8 then ?!? It will happen but no deadlines, not entering this year from us was because some life and healthy problems that needs a break to get ok that includes X:8, it's sad but that is what it is, sorry.

Dmitry Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 I've never entered, and might not enter this year either lol, so it's not exactly news when I say it....but anyway, I haven't commented in a while :-) I could still finish, but demands on my time have become extreme. If I fail to finish, I will just release my game in August. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
