cNp Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Hi, just wanted to start a thread here for my next Vectrex game (my first was Big Blue). I have done no programming since the end of May but will pick things up again now summer is over. This was the last video I recorded: I added a vulture that dropped power ups since that video. Originally the next game was going to be Frontier which will be a wild west adventure game... but I think I will now release this as Outlaw Hill (guess the games it's inspired by Currently it's 2 player Vs only but I will try to add an AI opponent... if that doesn't work out I will add a separate 1 player game as I know 2 player only games aren't always popular. Doubt this will be out until 2018 but I'll keep the updates coming. www.vectorrepublic.co.uk Edited September 17, 2017 by cNp 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50TBRD Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Surprised no one has commented. Big Blue was terrific. Excellent execution all around. I'm looking forward to everything the future holds from Vector Republic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekMD Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Cool, that looks nice. I hope you've been able to work on it more so it can be released in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEFF31 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Really liked Big Blue. Would like to get this also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cNp Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 Cheers guys, I've set myself a deadline of May to have physical copies of the new game ready Also plan to have a bunch of US/GCE style boxes made up for big Blue as I've been asked by so many collector in America and Canada if I would ever do them. Whilst I liked the foam inserts in Big Blue, and would use them again, I have ordered a large number of the new repro cart trays for the next game too... one step closer to being as close to original as possible! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
50TBRD Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Be careful mentioning Canadian Vectrex owners. They'll want a GCE/MB box. Glad to hear that you'll be selling the Big Blue re-release with the new repro cart holders. We really need to support Mortoff for his efforts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+LS650 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 That looks great so far. And yes, I agree that there needs to be a strong 1-player component. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cNp Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Wow, can't believe I didn't update this since the 2 player Vs was relegated to a secondary part of the release and a fully fledged 1 player game was realised! Near;ly ready to release full boxed game with overlay etc. like Big Blue was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cNp Posted May 3, 2019 Author Share Posted May 3, 2019 Oh, and the game IS called Frontier... Outlaw Hill (the 2 player Vs game) is an extra on this full 1 player game 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elwee Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 @cNp In case the box layout is not at printing yet: There's tiny little typo in the german description. It has to be 'mit zusätzlichem Controller', not 'mitzusätzlichem Keyboard' 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cNp Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 @cNp In case the box layout is not at printing yet: There's tiny little typo in the german description. It has to be 'mit zusätzlichem Controller', not 'mitzusätzlichem Keyboard' Hi Elwee, thanks for that... I have put a space in between mit and zusätzlichem.... I went with keyboard as, strangely, that is what it says on the original boxes! Hopefully getting the boxes printed next week; should have final physical product by the end of May Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intellivet Posted May 7, 2019 Share Posted May 7, 2019 How do we pre-order (or did I miss it?)? Excited for this game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cNp Posted May 7, 2019 Author Share Posted May 7, 2019 How do we pre-order (or did I miss it?)? Excited for this game! I've quietly begun pre-orders to help pay some of the up front printing costs... if you use the Big Blue link to buy the game for your location (UK/EU/Rest of the World) and put a message in the PayPal payment to say it's a pre order for Frontier, along with your address, then I'll add you to the list: http://vectorrepublic.co.uk/gce.html Most of the individual items are ordered now so still on track to ship by the end of May.
