Fadest Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Don't forget the goblin soccer player Seems like you are using Lynx sprite capacities, color mapping and reverse. This is a good choice to optimize RAM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordKraken Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) This is a really good choice of genre, the lynx is clearly missing versus fighting games. I mean there is pitfighters but... well... Good luck with the memory, I'm foreseeing a lot of energy spent to optimize that with the use of huge sprites! But hey that's where the fun is Edited November 15, 2020 by LordKraken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 The posted images are a test made by Simon, not screenshots of a rom, but I have a working POC with the original sprites (goblin kicking the chopped head too ?). The problem is that there is no memory left for the opponent AI at the moment, you can only hit a dummy sparring partner, that believe me is not a trivial result in terms of memory management and moves mapping to the lynx buttons. Now the challenge is to find the missing memory space to complete the game. It will require time. Regarding the lynx colors, I spent most of the time organizing the color palettes for the POC, then gave the specs to Simon thet is a great gfx artist, and he is doing a great work with the new gfx. Obviously the game will be improved and will have many original aspects, but I would like to release a tiny free version with the classic sprites and gameplay one day. For the moment it's enough, too early for more spoiling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+karri Posted November 19, 2020 Share Posted November 19, 2020 Unfortunately the sp65 optimisation is not completed yet. But I believe that the latest sprpck is up to the task. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cammy Posted November 21, 2020 Share Posted November 21, 2020 How come the sprites are limited to 3 colours? That's not a limitation the Lynx shares with other platforms. Is it to save memory or something? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted November 21, 2020 Author Share Posted November 21, 2020 Yes, it is to save memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help of pointing to the right direction years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nop90 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 The release of the game at Revision 2021 (during Easter week end) is confirmed. At everyone with a Revison eTicket, please vote for us, all the others can follow the compo in the live streaming. The game presented at the Revision will be a reduced version with a limited number of battles. The final version is planned before the summer. There is a lot of blood in the game so we decided to put this warning: 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nop90 Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 The main problem now is to find a good sound for the lightsaber swing. At high frequency everything is too beeping, low frequencies (that will give a nice effect) are cutted away. I'm considering to not add this sound, but this will make me sad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Igor Posted April 3, 2021 Share Posted April 3, 2021 Me too, will this be a public release at some point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nop90 Posted April 3, 2021 Author Share Posted April 3, 2021 All the games submitted to Revision demoparty are public. This Rom has limit to the number of fight because it needs to be polished, but the final release should be available to everyone in 4-8 weeks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
