vitoco Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Hi! I'm extending my The Children game, and I want to release it for the 5200. The new features include a timer, two characters for (single user) colaborative resolution on some puzzles (like in Millie and Molly), and more. It will also include different sets of old puzzles, including Catrap (the same set used in Pitkat) and Pitman (the original game for the Sharp MZ-700). But I'm facing a problem for the Pitman set: it uses different rules about how gravity works, because it allows some objects to be suspended at the start of the level, but they fall when you move out of the column they are (or when you jump up in the same column). There are four ways to solve this: Change the puzzles with suspended objects (there are 6 puzzles out of 50). Remove the puzzles with suspended objects (leave only 44 puzzles). Mimic the gravity logic from Pitman (modify the game). Do not include Pitman set of puzzles at all. What do you think? About option 3, as a player, how would you feel if you find that the game rules you are used to change? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for releasing the game on the 5200! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGHMW Posted February 19, 2022 Share Posted February 19, 2022 Looking forward to seeing it happen, the 5200 sure could use a few more titles. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
