shaggyneo Posted October 6 Share Posted October 6 I had a friend pick one of these up for me at Portland. Why does the title screen say demo? Is it not the full game? The packaging looks like a full release but the demo on the title screen threw me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LynxEffect Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Can someone please confirm whether Xenowings works with the Jaguar CD attachment? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaggyneo Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 Albert got back with me about it. Apparently, they accidentally used the binary that still had the demo text in the title. The game itself is no different than the full game other than the demo text. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the sound of a hundred copies of Xenowings sold at PRGE going up on eBay and being listed as "ULTRA R@R3!!!!!!1111" with ludicrous BINs set. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 Rewatching my gameplay from the stream I'm wondering if anyone can explain my death at timestamp 1:16:13 on Stage 23? There's no bullets or ships near me and my ship just explodes. - James 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Machine Posted October 25 Share Posted October 25 I wonder if one of the enemies who left the bottom of the screen did a loop and hit you from underneath???? I know Galaga has enemies that do that on some stages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rewatched the footage and I can't see any sign of an enemy swooping up from below so I'm going to assume it's (hopefully) a very rare bug. - James 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 Got the game today. Looks amazing, maybe a little simplistic, but its done so well. The transparencies remind me of Radiant Silvergun (Saturn game). Is this Dune's first game release? Any other Jag games made by them? Keep making shooters 69,120 best score for me so far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 XenoWings does not have pause. Nor does it have the common return to menu by pressing * #. I really miss those options. Maybe down the road they will release as rom and add those features, one can hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted November 1 Share Posted November 1 88,245 - new high score for me. Graphics are amazing. I love how the backgrounds don't distract from the foregrounds. Someone took their time doing that. They fixed the shot speed, so much nicer than in the older videos. After you enter your name I wish it displayed your name with the high score until the button was pressed. For high score contests I usually take a picture at that screen. In this game it just displays your name without the score. Its easy enough to go the high score menu so not a big deal. I also wished on Caravan it stayed on the same screen that said time up. Caravan scores either don't save to cart or my Caravan score was too low so it was not recorded, namely there is not a separate Caravan high score table. I suspect Caravan scores will be very close as there is not much variation from game to game. If there were special weapons you tried to keep from level to you would have more score variation like Rebooteroids Caravan does. Namely Rebooteroids has one weapon that keeps from level to level. This forces the player to do anything possible to keep that weapon, not pickup a new weapon and not lose their current life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Had some issue with XW. I died 3 times like James did in his video. I died with 100,335 score, see photo. I choose continue as I'm near the end of the game. However rather than halve the score, which happens on continue 1 and 2. I notice my score is 150K and then 160K then I get to level 25 and now screen is blank and it keeps playing background music. I take it this was not suppose to happen?

+grips03 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 Played up to level 25 and it did it again, black screen and music. Stage 25 starts normal and then goes to black screen and plays music. Music plays forever. So far I have had it on for 30 minutes. Same music as last time. ~stage 23-24 you see some random sprite shake. Its not much but it consistently done this on these stages and stage 11. I watched the score and after pressing continue (A button) at this screen It goes from 140K to 170K. Makes no sense. I also noticed you get free ship at 70K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+grips03 Posted November 2 Share Posted November 2 same thing happened on the 3rd try. So far it occurs 100% of the time. Video attached below: IMG_5763.mov 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ericde45 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Hello grips03, do you own a GameDrive for your Jaguar ? if you own one, i could send you test/debug versions, and you could help me remove this bug. i never met it during my tests and the other testers did not meet it either. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've responded to your email, I want to send you another cart to see if it happens consistently or if it's a problem with that specific cartridge. If you don't have a Jaguar GameDrive, I'd be glad to loan you one for testing purposes. ..Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 4 minutes ago, Sargon said: Is it safe to assume you will be holding off making the cart available in the shop until this bug has been identified? There are roughly 35 carts sold to customers at this point, plus carts that have gone out to developers/testers. I haven't had reports yet of anyone else running into this issue, but I'm definitely not building more carts until we identify the source of the problem. As I would like to make Xenowings and Jumping at Shadows available in the store at the same time, I'm eager to learn what's happening here and resolve it. The issue could be any of these: Bug in the game itself. A problem with that specific cartridge. A compatibility issue with his specific console and either the game or the cartridge hardware. A problem with our new flash board that we're now using for games, although he may have an older DIP EPROM cart (I did make some of them to get all the Patreon orders out without having to wait for more flash boards -- we haven't put those into full production yet, so only getting them in small quantities at the moment). There are a fair number of these out there already for other games (such as Rocket Ranger / Novagen Volume 1 / Block'em Sock'em, plus most of the Jumping at Shadows copies), so I doubt it's this, but it's of course a possibility until we nail down what's happening. ..Al 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
