Goochman Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 Somewhat Fort Apocalypse like from the 8bit. Off to a great start 1 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288647-thrusty-thing/page/2/#findComment-4228645 Share on other sites More sharing options...
agradeneu Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) 8 or 16 bits graphics? An 256 CLUT for both the the map and the bg would result in excessive color banding and drab, pixelated rocks. An HDMI screenshot/ capture would show how smooth and colorful the 16 bit image really is.

Albert Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I also thought of Gravitar, one off my favorites. Still regret selling the arcade. Yeah, I had one of these at one point and wish I still had it. ..Al 2 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288647-thrusty-thing/page/2/#findComment-4229141 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share Posted February 28, 2019 Day 4... No longer have to draw points on the map, we have tracking objects for the gravity modifiers and the turrets! https://youtu.be/AUR9-jRoHkg Everything now also procedural, so nice and easy to add more turrets/gravmods.... I guess player shots next! 7 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288647-thrusty-thing/page/2/#findComment-4229230 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lost Dragon Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Great potential here. Huge fan of Thrust at the time..picked up on 800XL-C64-ST and GBA. Threw screwed up the sequel though Oids on ST Subterrinea on MD And more recently Gravity Crash on PSN. Looking forward to future developments with this one. This was supposed to be pretty good on the Amiga as well: 4 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288647-thrusty-thing/page/2/#findComment-4229360 Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Saturn Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 That looks amazing. Awesome job dodging that missile by a hair around the 50 second mark at the very bottom of the screen btw.

That was some slick piloting. Thanks - although it does help that there isn't any player/object collision detection yet It's only a single RAPTOR call though, so no big deal to add that and this makes testing a little bit easier. Couple more things to add and then we'll try and make a playable level. Not sure I can keep the daily updates coming, got a busy week ahead. 7 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288647-thrusty-thing/page/2/#findComment-4231076 Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was some slick piloting. I could imagine once collisions, lifes and limited fuel are there it requires master skills in dodging and landing to complete this small level. And we want much larger maps!

matthew954 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I have to say, I love the look of the graphics. They look hand drawn and colored. I'm looking forward to seeing this one finished. The more of your games I see here at AA, the more my wallet is cringing lol. Impossamole, Xenon 2, and Last Strike especially have my attention. And now add Thrusty Thing to that list too. I'm looking forward to seeing this game evolve. 2 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288647-thrusty-thing/page/2/#findComment-4233231 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was supposed to be pretty good on the Amiga as well: Oids is what I always think of. Loved that game, after it was patched to work with the Jaguar pad I realized how bad I am now at the game though. This looks amazing and already looks like one I'll have to get when it's ready. 2 Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/288647-thrusty-thing/page/2/#findComment-4233257 Share on other sites More sharing options...
