As I announced some time ago, I am working on an exended version of the Time Wizard game. I named it Time Wizard Deluxe, at least for a while. Finally the game will receive a physical release on a cartridge.

 

 

Working demo version 1:

  • Loads from a cartridge.
  • Runs on an Atari XL/XE with 64 kB of RAM (tested on Altirra emulator).
  • Includes a language selection screen - at this point there are English and Polish.
  • Features the first of several planned new game mechanics - horizontal portals.

I am going to keep you updated on progress as more demos are created.

Hi, amarok. You can count with my humble help if you also consider Spanish.

 

Regards.

I like both but I think you should change titlescreen for enhanced version, therefore I vote for the right one.

I'd suggest to add the text "Deluxe" or "Extended" somewhere.

 

These two comments.

Work In Progress Demo 3 of Time Wizard Deluxe has just arrived :)

 

 

This time the following features have been introduced:

  • Added on/off buttons. Previously there were buttons only for turning on or only for turning off. It helped me to simplify this horrible level 11 from the original game.
  • Added buttons with timers. Now it is possible to use buttons which turn on or turn off something but for specific period of time up to 5 seconds. These buttons are time resist it means that you can use time manipulation to speed up your movements and be on time before the timer of the button will come to its end.
  • Added following enemies. There are a little more smart enemies which follows your movements and try to block your passage. These new enemies are time resist, so you can cheat them by rewind or fast forward your timeline and be faster than robots.

I hope that these new features will make the Time Wizard Deluxe more interesting than before. The updated level editor will be available soon. :)
