digress Posted February 1, 2021 Author Share Posted February 1, 2021 frog bog is a great game. I havn't made up my mind. I could just make an empty room with 1 dusty old pearl & a piece of stale bread. Probably a swamp makes good sense or a river like a turtle would live.

The black bg looks fine to me too like walking in a snowstorm at night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 I recieved the item. 2600 dapter db9 for hooking up original joysticks. Nicely made. Thanks. I got it working too and just played through several levels using an original intellivision II controller. Yeah it's noticeably harder to do some things when you use the real controller. I found it a little hard to swim up & down while shooting at the same time ... at first But I got it down pat now.

Using a real controller to help with gameplay tweaks is always a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted February 4, 2021 Author Share Posted February 4, 2021 level005 with alligator & bats & devils & pitchforks for intellivision Check out the neato alligator! I might make him leap up at you too. I have a glitch with the scrolling where it occasionally draws the wrong column. Not sure what is causing it but I think its the fact that he can't go past a certain max right and the scroll roll over happens, he then gets held back and it redraws the same column. view also on creator friendly rumble or below on censortube https://rumble.com/vdk9fb-mr-turtle-level005-with-alligator-and-bats-and-devils-and-pitchforks-for-in.html 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 This game is really starting to look great. I love all the colors,and screens full of life. So many games have very little scenery to look at. Not this one!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wolfy62 Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 I hope this game finds it's way into a cartridge and a cool box,like the Colecovision version!?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted April 1, 2021 Author Share Posted April 1, 2021 This is actually very different from the colecovision game I made. Similar in name only mostly. I never intended to even make it but it just sort of happened while tinkering with intybasic. Will it get a cart release? I have no plan at the moment. Maybe if I fix up some of the suggestions first. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted January 2, 2022 Author Share Posted January 2, 2022 I removed the scrolling. It was causing too many problems and the gameplay is much better i think. https://rumble.com/vrtbka-intellivision-mr-turtle-no-scrolling..html?mref=366lt&mc=2dmgc 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zendocon Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Good to see you're still working on this. It looks like it's going to be a fun game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 @Rev would definitely ship himself that he sees the snow level in this game. Awesome job. Flipscreen instead of scrolling is easier to make. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flipscreen instead of scrolling is easier to make. Yeah the collisions sometimes don't work when scrolling and some graphics glitches. The main thing was the turtle would move to the far right or left and the catch up scroll wouldn't keep up so he would be slowed down while trying to jump a pit or obstacle...and not make it over. Solved with 1 decision. I'll read though the suggestions a bit . Intellivoice is going too. I can't even understand what he was saying either. I just became numb to it and don't even hear it. the shark / bird warning music is wayyyy too frequent. I may remove it too or at least not cycle it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 +1 for flipscreen if you want to make it more fancy, though a bit slower to go between screens. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah maybe. I used to play all those sierra games on my tandy 1000 tl off of 5.25" floppy disks and the loading time between screens was not a fond memory. Orientation time i guess might help.

digress Posted January 16, 2022 Author Share Posted January 16, 2022 Adding a new boss level: Still working on it. arms hurt you if you hit them going down. Will prevent you from passing them which can casue you to drown. You can hit them to make it retract with the pitchfork. grab some coins while you are at it and reload with another pitchfork. Can be defeated after a few hits. I temp prevented drowning while working on it. Rumble if you prefer to not use censortube. https://rumble.com/vsq5s0-intellivision-octopus-boss-level-mr-turtle-in-dev.html 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlsson Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I have no recollection of that, and can't find any posts in that direction, but it totally sounds like an idea I would throw out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digress Posted June 24, 2022 Author Share Posted June 24, 2022 Here I complete a run through (took me 3 games as I kept dying too many times) of Mr Turtle and to the game over screen. Everything works good now. no more scrolling no more intellivoice added the octopus boss as the final stage to complete game after you collect all 5 previous pearls fixed some problem spots in flip screens where you fall down. (left some in on purpose too) forrest (large bird) caves (ghost) snow level (large bird) swamp alligators (though one never showed in this run through) Water (shark) Octopus https://rumble.com/v19mgcc-intellivion-game-complete-run-through.html 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
