In the presentation video on SW2022SW the author of the presentation did not have STEREO on, the music did not sound as it should.

 

If you find any bug in the game, please write pm to me or PG.

 

Have fun

 

 

regards POISON

Many thanks!

What are the requirements for real HW? Luckily I still have 1 empty AtariMax flash cart available so I can try out, but are there any plans to release ATR?

atr is not planned, the requirements are Atari 64kb and stereo upgrade and for example AVG cart.

[Mr.Bacardi]

Thanks for mentioning AVG cart! Simply forgot that I have one as well! 😄

Just to make it clear, stereo is not required but recommended. 🙂

I never knew there was so much to find out about trees in an adventure game.

You will also learn a lot about lighting.

[Beeblebrox]

Thanks. Was privilaged to be one of the testers along with a handful of others from AA. Great game with fantastic production values. 

 

BTW works fine on stock A8s with  SIDE3/3.1 and also runs off my Incognito'd 800.

I had a couple lockups in Altirra.

 

Base system:  NTSC 800XL (576K Compy)
Additional Devices:  Host device (H:), Printer (P:)
OS Firmware:  Atari XL/XE OS ver.3 [29F133F7]
Mounted Images:  Cartridge: onEscape (7.12. 2022).rom [8749E762]

 

It froze once when I attempted to bypass the Intro, and once when I tried to bypass the title credits. I think I was in PAL mode on the first freeze.

 

[Edit]

I got a black screen the first time it froze; so, I guess it was in transition to the title screen.

I can't remember if it got that far on the second freeze or not.

 

I didn't think of saving a state file at those times; but I can next time it happens -- if that's useful.

v4.01

 

[+MrFish]

Also, I don't know if it matters... it seems to work with either Maxflash mappers; but I'm pretty sure I was using the second one (newer - bank 0).

 

 

[pseudografx]

It should not matter. Anyway, here is the appropriate .car file.

It's been more than 10 years that I programmed my 8MBit atarimax cart - can someone provide me an ATR image with the onEscape ROM on it that can be used to program the atarimax cart ?!?   (My atarimax 8Mbit cart. has a black case, so I think it is the older version.)

I didn't think so. I've seen others carts working with either type selected too.

Do you have the Maxflash programmer and the software? You can take the ROM file above, run it in Alirra as a maxflash cart, then using the "Save firmware" option save the rom as a raw BIN file and use that bin in the Atarimax software to program it to an 8Mbit maxflash cart.

I do not have the programmer to program the cart directly, so I will need an ATR image to do it. Alas, I do not remember how to create an ATR image with the ROM using the atarimax software (atarimax programming studio or whatever it was called).

Here ya go then. I used The Atarimax studio to convert the BIN I created in Altirra from the original ROM file to an ATR. Hope it works?

Thanks for providing the bin file. I also appreciate knowing that both Atarimax 1MB types work. I had to change the mapping value to the old type. My Ultimate  Cart only recognizes the old value.

Games Soundtrack of new 8bit Atari Adventure Game has been released at my bandcamp. All music was composed on real Atari 800XE with stereo upgrade in SDCMC editor. Not on PC in another tracker.

@Poison Fantastic work. Really enhances the game. So impressed with the collective effort in creating this game. (Gameplay, atmosphere, visuals, music). Thanks for releasing the music OST.  

 

BTW at the start alongside the obvious visual nod to Blade Runner's intro graphics and title credits, I like the initial musical nod to the film's epic cityscape intro track as the credits appear.

 

I would obsolutely love to see an enhanced (Vinscool RMT tracker?) version of that very same intro track recreated on A8's Pokey someday, (mono or stereo). The synth effect I am sure is possible to recreate to a degree.

Having fun with the game, now in to the offices and the elevator, seem to be stuck but the old pea brain will work it out.

 

Thanks for the game folks, very nice indeed..

Niiiice! Thanks - very good rendition of that classic track. That's going straight into my SIDE3's music folder for sure!

 

I've always wanted to hear one of my Fav BR OST tracks - Blade Runner Blues -  on the A8 with the iconic synth sound of that track as close to the original as possible. Now there is a challenge.
