Matej Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Hello friends. On FB Atari World Italia there are few screenshots from new hires game TONY. Graphics looks amazing. Anyone know more about this project? Edited October 14, 2022 by Matej 9 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+x=usr(1536) Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Interesting. Is it playable, or just a mockup? I ask because the status area at the bottom doesn't seem to change despite the character apparently moving between rooms, which suggests that the score, health, or items being carried may change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matej Posted October 14, 2022 Author Share Posted October 14, 2022 I dont know. Just seen it on facebook. But looks beautiful like hires on ZX128K. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) I saw this a few weeks back on Atarionline.pl If you scroll down towards the end there is a little more info: https://atarionline.pl/forum/comments.php?DiscussionID=5520&page=1#Item_0 To Quote Dracon's post there: The Dudek brothers (XXL and Rafał) are making a new game in the hires called "TONY" (allusion to T. Halik?), Promises to be honey. Apparently the official announcement, video, etc. in October this year.

+Philsan Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 @Matej thanks for mentioning my Italian language (Italian is spoken in Switzerland too) Facebook group.

snicklin Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) I have to ask, that red TV looks nice, does anyone know the model? As for the game, looks amazing. It looks like it will need some large storage solution. Never have I seen such an elaborate promotion of a work in progress Atari game. Impressive.

Beeblebrox Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) Is love to see the videos but unfortunately I do not have a Facebook account. Pity it's not on YouTube. I agree, that is one gorgeous looking game!! Edited October 14, 2022 by Beeblebrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, he comments on the videos that they are only GIF animations, and that the animations in the game itself will be smoother. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Any chance someone could upload the gifs - or even better a video? The work that has gone into this game is astounding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stefan Both Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 Nice, very nice. It has a touch of Laura and Rick Dangerous. Looks veeery promising! 😀 Can't wait to touch it. Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Philsan Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 As it often happens with A8 homebrew, the game will be released for free and a boxed edition will be available if people are interested (contact Retronics). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 (edited) Pending seeing video footage (thanks @Matej) and gameplay reviews of this game I'd almost certainly buy a boxed cart version when released. In the past I've bought boxed cart releases of the excellent Flob and Albert games and digital copies of The Last Squadron and Attack of the Pescii Robots. I plan to buy the boxed release of the up and coming cart based point and click game Onescape when it is released too. Also when L'Abbaye Des Mortes is released I will definitely be buying that gem - digital copy and/or boxed cart - whatever the plan is. Mannn it is a great time to be on the Atari 8-bit scene!

Beeblebrox Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 @Matej many thanks. The developers are certainly not revealing much at this stage. Gonna be interesting to see some more gameplay in weeks to come. Looking very promising though.. Nice death animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafalDudek Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 all information on the progress of the work is here. https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100086340110801 Its not the official TONY website, it is my website where I show the next steps... 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RafalDudek Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 first advertising video, when the game is finished it will be better.... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Very intrigued. Just a pity it's Facebook. Hopefully going forward they'll be a YouTube based promo available also. Love to see more footage of actual gameplay and animation. Amazing work looks to have gone into this!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
