drludos Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Your project looks cool, congrats! It feels like Contra but with a "Duke Nukem" character :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is for 1 player. I will let you know when it will be possible to buy on eBay. I could make a new clone of Contra. But I do not have access to Kickstarter or Indiegogo. I would have had $ 3,000 in funding for the entire project. There is no artist or composer. Therefore, it makes no sense. No entry. That is hypocrisy. =( Edited November 3, 2019 by Тимур Лязгиев Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatPix Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 This looks very nice Interetingly your graphics looks more like SVGA computer graphics than Megadrive ones, but that isn't a bad thing at all, at least for me. Multiple scrolling background, detailled ennemies, lots of fluid, smooth animations. It's great! Let me know when you get those for sale :3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Тимур Лязгиев Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 Release! BUY - https://www.ebay.com/itm/223762219793 $32 + $10 Shipping Tell everyone who wanted to buy. My latest project has been in work since 2017, and it has already entered the final stage of production. This new game is a homebrew "Contra: Hard Corps" clone with many original elements and gameplay-changing mechanics. For example, the player character has no control over the jump physics, like in classic action platformers, such as "Castlevania". The graphics rely heavily on the classic comics style, with clearly outlined silhouettes and text balloons, like in the well-known Sega Genesis / Mega Drive platformer, "Boogerman". The gameplay makes use of two separate genres: the platform shooter and the scroll shooter. There are 11 levels overall, and every level has its own boss at the end. Two levels let the player control a rocket scooter, and there is also a level that features a hoverboard that the player can master - just like in "Back to the Future". The soundtrack for the game is composed by a friend of mine, and features over 15 long, vibrant and expressive chiptune melodies specifically created for this project. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His ebay listing where he is selling it from lists both Genesis and Megadrive as it is region free so should work either way. Now he doesn't state it is optimized for NTSC as well as PAL but it should play either way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Тимур Лязгиев Posted November 25, 2019 Author Share Posted November 25, 2019 NTSC 60 Hz recommended. For Sega Genesis. But you can run on any console. There will be incorrect music speed or slow gameplay. Test the demo in the emulator. Regen or Fusion 3.64. The game is poorly emulated. Cheats do not work on Fusion 3.64.

CatPix Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 (edited) I ordered one, and shared the info on a French retrogaming group.

+-^CrossBow^- Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 What resolution does the main gameplay itself use? I'm asking because the video mode you are using doesn't seem to like the OSSC very much. It woks, but has some craziness with the image. I'm able to use my 256 mode and get the picture to be stable, but then I can't seem to adjust the H Sync settings at all on my TV/OSSC setup in that profile mode without having some out of focus like effect on the left and right.

I don’t quite understand what it is about ... Sega Genesis has only 2 modes: 320x224 (240 on PAL) and 256x224 (240 on PAL). This game always uses 320x224. The screensavers have a switch to the VDP mode Shadow and highlight - is controlled by mode register 4 (register $0C). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 You are saying the game is all coded in 320x224 mode? That is including your title screens? Because the title screen and menu option comes up looking great through the OSSC. But once I start a game and the title card for Stage 1 or 2..etc comes up, the graphics immediately go into some strange mode or effect that either the OSSC doesn't like or perhaps my Genesis? I will try and get some video footage to show what it does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yurkie Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Got it just about 15 minutes ago. I LOVE IT!!!! works perfect RGB to HDMI via the Frameister.

Problems with scenes where there is scrolling / parallax? There is not a single emulator that reproduces the game well. The most accurate - blastem. He has problems with the speed of sound. But the graphics are as accurate as possible on the hardware behavior. This means that RetroN 5 and similar consoles cannot work correctly with the game. They have an emulator. And the emulator does not work with the game correctly. Is OSSC a hardware emulation? I have not tested the game on such consoles. I recommend Genesis 1-3. Mega Drive (European) has problems with fps - 50 hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
