fultonbot Posted November 4, 2020 Author Share Posted November 4, 2020 Will anyone have a problem if I split my games into three separate threads, with the latest demos available in the first entry? I don't want to clutter-up the forum but I also don't want to be an outlier who does things differently for no particular reason. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Muddyfunster Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 sounds good, I've got a bit of a general musing thread and then one for each project that actually turns into a game. Makes sense to keep things separate. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by the point you are intending them to be separate games, they deserve their own threads for discussion, updates, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this game and agree with Muddyfunster. The gameplay would benefit from paddles or driving controller support. Thanks for sharing.

(I've never heard of that for 7800, but games like Yoomp! on 8-bit sure sound awesome with it) Quoting myself... Now that Dragonfly is out, I think TIA+POKEY+YM would be the way to go for amazing sound. ie, no sense in dual POKEY as found in 8-bit games. While the Dragonfly is mono out, we'll convert that to stereo in Argon (already done for TIA & POKEY), and at some point later provide an API so you can optionally do panning under program control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fultonbot Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 I've been putting some work into "Into The Void" this week, adding my Pokey Music player and updating the graphics for the boss battles.

We ended up doing Stereo TIA, Stereo POKEY (1 chip) and dual POKEY/POKEYMAX (in stereo) for the current release of Argon. We finally found some license compatible code such that we can add YM as well, so that will show up at some point. It just isn't in the current build. So feel free to give it a go -- if you will be doing dual pokey, you just need to have the flag set properly in the A78 header. Ping us if you need help/feedback on that.

SlidellMan Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Hmm...I think you could update your firing routines. Have a power-up that gives you a longer reach, but as a trade-off: a slower rate of fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I'm happy with the progress on the boss levels I'm going to return to the main part of the game and update it based on the other stuff I've developed since.

Yes - you can either have them in a folder on the device (local storage) or you can have them in your Google drive, and then access them across all your devices. Use the .a78 file format for 7800 games.

+bhall408 Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 Love the new interstitials between waves! We had featured the prior version in last months "Spooktacular" section of Argon... That section ends this coming Friday, to be replaced with a winter/holiday themed collection later this month. I could see Winter Holiday themed "Last Stand" as a future sequel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fultonbot Posted November 12, 2023 Author Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) Beta version now live, Still lots of bugs to stomp and needs massive game balancing. Now there are 25 levels of different enemies, 8 levels of power-ups. I made all the "holiday" graphics I could think of, and then, well, I just made more stuff to shoot at. Starts at Halloween, then goes to Xmas, New Years, Valentines Day, etc. A bit of slow-down at the higher levels, but the code is messy and unoptimized so there is room for improvement (hopefully) See binary attached below: Play It Here: JS7800: Atari 7800 Emulator (raz0red.github.io) Watch It here: laststand2023_beta_1_0.78b.a78laststand2023_beta_1_0.78b.bin laststand2023_beta_1_0.78b.zip Edited November 13, 2023 by fultonbot 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
