Turbo Laser Lynx Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 (edited) I played the game for a while tonight, it really sucked me in. The graphics look really nice on the Lynx too! Great work man! Always a happy day with a new game for the Lynx Edited April 21, 2019 by Turbo Laser Lynx 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 The Retroguru download doesn't include the save file, maybe that needs to be updated for anyone wanting to use high score saves on a Lynx SD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 We decided to not put the save file in the release because the SD cart owners should know how to create one, and we put a note about it in the txt inside the release. We don't want lamers using emulators to be confused by the presence of a save file and complain online of it not working. I'll add a premade save file in the release post this evening anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 We placed only 8 ot of 9. But despite th ebad position, I'm, very proud of this game. If someone has some feedbacks about what could have gone wrong, let me know please. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 That sucks. What were the other games like? Final Fantasy 7? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted April 22, 2019 Author Share Posted April 22, 2019 Since there are different systems at the compo it's difficoult to compare works. But feedbacks on Pouet are very good. Probably video could have been better (necrocia you did your best, it's my fault for finishing to fix everything so late) and maybe showing in the wideo the prototype cart before booting the game could have made the difference. But now it's not so important. We'll promote the game and will try to make a phisical release for the end of the year. My to do list is full till this summer, but next retroguru port to lynx could be Fruity. Let's see.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Have you got a link to the rest of the entries and demos? Was your's the only Lynx game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted April 23, 2019 Author Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) Enties will be listed here, but will take some days to have all the list complete. Clicking on result on top of the pages there are the ames of all the unetries, you can try to find them with google. My entry was the only one for lynx at revision. EDIT: al files already on demozoo https://demozoo.org/parties/3770/ Edited April 23, 2019 by Nop90 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Cool, thanks, your entry was the only Lynx entry in all, no Lynx demos this time around. Xump is a great game still, congrats on finishing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 That was a silly competition. Windows, Linux, WII in the same category as C64, Pico and Lynx. At least Xump was the best Lynx game... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo Laser Lynx Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 (edited) We placed only 8 ot of 9. But despite th ebad position, I'm, very proud of this game. If someone has some feedbacks about what could have gone wrong, let me know please. I think it's ok to have competitions for things like music, games, visual art, fashion, dance etc. (if we really have to compete) but since it's so subjective I'd take any results with a pinch of salt. Technically I find Xump super sound. The graphics are great, the music's great and it plays great. I guess it just didn't happen to fall in the taste of the judges. That was a silly competition. Windows, Linux, WII in the same category as C64, Pico and Lynx. Yes, what were they thinking? How could those modern generic tools ever compete with unique timeless classics like the c64 and the Lynx and the unique charm of Pico-8?

TrekMD Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Cool. I had missed this thread. Checking out the game! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted April 24, 2019 Author Share Posted April 24, 2019 I guess it just didn't happen to fall in the taste of the judges. There are no judges, voting is opened to all the partecipants to the event. Such copetitions are a lottery, often a funny idea gets a better ranking than a big technical work. Nevetheless Revision is big event with a lot of visibility for the partecipants, so winning is cool, but it's not so important 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orange-Phantom Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 I've downloaded this and must say I really enjoyed it. A good fun blast!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Thanks, I'm very proud of this port, learned a lot of things on lynx coding while making it. And there is another retroguru game in progress for the Atari Lynx Coding Competition... ? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+karri Posted June 22, 2019 Share Posted June 22, 2019 The Atari Lynx 30th birthday programming competition will be the event of the year for Lynx programmers. The registration closes on the 20th of July. Who knows what kind of birthday presents it brings to the Lynx community. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted July 15, 2019 Share Posted July 15, 2019 From what I have seen so far, it will be an amazing year for the Lynx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
