drludos Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wonderful, congrats on these new releases! The box art looks gorgeous on both games, I really love the A Bug's Trip one! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 The cover art for A Bug's Trip was provided by Yiri T. Kohl (of TNT Terry fame), and I agree he did a fantastic job! Also very happy with the Quadromania design supplied by @PlaysWithWolves -- in particular I really liked the "electricity" effect around the bomb and the neon glow of the main logo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Wow cool packaging!! Really looking forward to see some videos of the games (maybe like the one you did for the jaguar cd collection cartridge?) Also stupid question but is it an italian flag inside the bomb? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Good idea, I will try to get some videos up this month. No Italian flags were harmed during the creation of this box! Any likeness is purely coincidental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PFG 9000 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Great news! These will both be Day 1 purchases for me. Is there any difference between this version of Quadromania and the one sold by Luchsoft? I haven't gotten around to picking up that one yet.

Is there any difference between this version of Quadromania and the one sold by Luchsoft? I haven't gotten around to picking up that one yet. Yes, there are many differences: difficulty progression revamp, bug fixes, expanded scoring options, in-game backgrounds, and more. They are generally listed in the latest newsletter (everything after the first bullet is the list of what's changed), and more specifically discussed in the Raiders of the Lost ROM series of articles which focus on how I reverse-engineered Quadromania with only partial source code. Likewise, A Bug's Trip received several improvements from the original version by Fadest such as additional songs, new sound f/x, level redesigns, etc. Plus this will be its first release on cartridge!

+davidcalgary29 Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 So looking forward to both of these. I think A Bug's Trip is such a great game, and it'll be fantastic to buy it on cartridge. Still hoping that you can eventually punch some in-game music into Quadromania, Carl! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gilsaluki Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Got my A Bug's Life minutes ago. Packaging is great. Artwork is nice. The cart quality is first-rate. Darn you Carl. You keeping making innovative products that I have to have. I love the layout, music, and playability is fantastic. This is a cart I will continue to come back to. It is a must-have for any Lynxster. Thanks. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Songbird Posted November 26, 2020 Author Share Posted November 26, 2020 Happy Thanksgiving! Hope some Lynx fans get to enjoy more time playing Quadromania and A Bug's Trip. Looking forward to more feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+jgkspsx Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 (edited) I’ve never played Ladybug so far as I know, and I’m not very good at Pac Man, but Bug’s Trip is a really interesting spin on the formula that is really more up my alley. Really enjoying it so far! Looking forward to spending more time with it after I finish Wyvern Tales... Quadromania is going to be my next purchase.

Songbird Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Took me long enough, but here is a promo video for Quadromania Redux. You can see some new features including the new boot screen, new playfield graphics, and a couple of recognizable level designs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fadest Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 For people who already got a version of A Bug's Lynx and want to hear new music and SFX by Carl, know how the new control scheme (*) in A Bug's Lynx make the game better, and how the optimisation makes bigger level more enjoyable. I have a small demo on itch.io, with 5 levels : A Bug's Trip Redux Demo (*) New control scheme : the butterfly flies in a direction until a wall stops her. You can stop by pressing A or B button. In pause menu, it is possible to switch control scheme by pressing Opt1+Opt2 while in Pause screen In this demo, you can skip level with Option 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
