StanJr Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 Hey, any homebrewers out there wanna give us an update? I'm very interested to know what happened to Quest. I'd love to hear where Thomas is on Robot City. And who knows how or when Tim Snider-man's Ravenous Dead will be finished! I'd also like to know the status of games that have come and gone, like the ones on the In Development page listed to be released last year or early 2003. Anybody want to run down some updates?

Thomas Jentzsch Posted July 26, 2003 Share Posted July 26, 2003 I'd love to hear where Thomas is on Robot City. Nothing new here. It's delayed due to other projects and some "incidents" that weren't very motivating, but not abandoned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a brandnew screenshot of my current project: Greetings, Manuel Hey, I know this game! Gateway to Apshai! I played the CV version for a while... It would be a really nice game for the VCS...

opcode Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 Now Space Invaders Collection is done, I have resumed work on Pac-Man Collection. I hope to have a playable demo in a month or two... Beside that, I am working on a completely original game, something similar to a RPG but open ended... I will resist and keep my mounth shut for now. It's a very ambitious project, so I am not completely sure if I will be able to complete it... Opcode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanJr Posted July 28, 2003 Author Share Posted July 28, 2003 Manuel, you are making me salivate over here! That is going to be sweet! Looks great! Give us more, homebrewers! Give us more!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gateway Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Ok. Here is a brandnew screenshot of my current project: Greetings, Manuel :eek: This is soooo cool! Hey, Manuel. Your version will have a definite "ending" to the game, right? This would be great! Keep up the excellent progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gregory DG Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Looks good! Makes me think of the classic computer game "Rogue." Hmmm... Maybe a 2600 version is in order? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hi there! Thanks to everyone for the ! This is soooo cool! Hey, Manuel. Your version will have a definite "ending" to the game, right? This would be great! I'm thinking about a definite ending, yes. And I had this idea of collecting "out of place artefacts" through the 8 levels... giving you a mission rather then just hacking'n'slaying through the corridors... :wink: But I'll do only very minor changes, basically my aim is to get it as close to a 1:1 port as possible on the VCS. Keep up the excellent progress. This is a huge project. Planned release date is the 4th quarter of 2004. I hope you can wait that long Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas Jentzsch Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 This is a huge project. Planned release date is the 4th quarter of 2004. I remember the original Star Fire schedule, so don't expect this before late 2005. BTW: The shot looks , even a little bit 3D (though that's probably not intentional).

Cybergoth Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hi Thomas! BTW: The shot looks , even a little bit 3D (though that's probably not intentional). It's not intentional, but a good compromise. I can do solid, emtpy and rastered blocks. So if I do a vertical sequence of solid/rastered/emtpy, this'll either result in a bigger and a smaller wall on top/bottom, depending on wether the raster starts solid or empty. I thought it looked better having the larger walls on top, resulting in that "little bit 3D". The only option of doing equal sized walls I can think of would be changing the raster on every other PF column. But I'm not sure wether this'd really look better. I even think it might be somewhat annoying for the eyes. Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Hi there! Now that I think about it "all" your games are crap Nice try, but Star Fire was already reserved by CPUWIZ and Gunfight doesn't count, since it's still from my pre-crap period Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cybergoth Posted July 29, 2003 Share Posted July 29, 2003 Hi there! I'm very interested to know what happened to Quest. Bad news on that one. On Chris Larkins homepage it reads: After long deliberation I will be dropping the Quest project... It was a very ambitious project, that I just don't have time to push out right now.
