Traxx Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) At the end of the day it is all based around you as a programmer,your skills will attract the best artists.zzzzzzzzzzzzi'll give an example an artist just asked me to program a shump for an older system that he knows I can do,it's him that wants this game it's his idea.When asked he wanted 50% of all sales,for three weeks work over my 6-8months months of work.Watch out for these,I'll mention a few in pm to you,none are from atari forum or c64,genesis,pc engine.

Ecernosoft Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Cool! Yeah, an artist will be attracted to programmers with skills. Not to say I have the best skills, that would probably go to bently bear's dev team, but still. I'm working on ICT solo. Not to say that's unusual for these homebrews, just that I've made EVERYTHING.

Ecernosoft Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Also, let me put it this way: 160B is like quadruple the color, half the width of 160A. So there. Does that make more sense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok. I think I'll try and I'll let you know when I make the jump to discord. Ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ecernosoft Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Hey @Traxx, since you use Discord, do you know if people can see your Birthday and Email? if yes, can you disable it? I don't want to get hacked because someone picked up on my Email address. And yes, I meet the age requirements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do have skills,and knowing assembly takes 10+ years so I know you are way above majority,you're special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traxx Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) I did look at pac mans stuff and learnt,and I have a lot of experiance it was when Dariusz posted code that I really excelled.That single programmer got me to look at other games and how they're handling things.Jinks uses a double buffer,I'm going to look at scrapyard dog next as I have 80% of how Jinks is programmed,collision,scrolling,banking ect..I'm willing to share my findings with other programmers,but only asm programmers.I'd make an exception for MKSmith though as he's on his way to becoming a Jedi I know potential when I see it,he will be joining us soon.

Ecernosoft Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 Yeah, true. I actually learned Assembly for 6502 starting with the 2600. 26 minutes ago, Traxx said: You do have skills,and knowing assembly takes 10+ years so I know you are way above majority,you're special. Do you know if people can see your birthday and/or email on Discord? If they can, is it an option for the user to enable/disable viewing that? It's going to determine if I'm joining Discord or not...

Thanks. 😃 My dad sometimes reminds me there's no future for Atari, but then explain this. Speaking of, if you'd like me to learn another system, note I got most all of my skills in a couple months. For the 2600 on the other hand, that took me about a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ecernosoft Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 (edited) Speaking of, ICT version 1.43 is available now! I also posted the source code. I can explain it if you want.

Ecernosoft Posted August 13, 2022 Author Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'm a great coder, but I really have issues with level-design. That takes a while and also, they need lots of Debugging. I can also explain the It's Conner time! Engine for our game and we can use the ICT engine. In fact, I can set up a 160A paralax scroll if you want. Plus, later, I want to port my old arcade games on Scratch to the 7800. They'll be a perfect fit with the 7800's "Bring the arcade home" stuff.

Can people see your birthday? I meet the age requirements and all, but I don't want backlash from others because they found out I'm less than 20 years old 2. Can people see your Email? If they can nomatter what, I probably won't join. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an offer! Plus, if you want this on NES, I can also code NES, just I don't know how to do sound. I can also do Atari 8it comp, but I'd rather not because of sprite and color limitations.

Actually for number 2: If I can find a new Email that doesn't say who I am (ex. having my first or last name in the email address) then maybe a YES for number 2 would be feasable, just I'd need a new email somehow.
