Once again you have shown that miracles are possible. Thank you very much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beeblebrox Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Absolutely fantastic!! Its been developed a lot over the last few months that much is clear. Some of the new traps and enemies are great. Really well animated too. Wow, can't wait to see this one developed further. I am hoping perhaps some weapon upgrades (multi projectile?) and perhaps artifacts,(temporary immunity or temporary increased damage with ammunition). Keep up the good work shanti77. 😀 Edited August 21 by Beeblebrox Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 (edited) Just seen this comment over on atarionline.pl which I thought I'd share The game "Ruff in trouble" takes part in the Abbuc Software Contest (ASC) 2024. Like most of Shanti's games, it requires 128K RAM and no other upgrades. And if I remember correctly the ASC version has 3 levels. Think it will be released in October 2024 - with the next Abbuc magazine...

freetz Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 (edited) It would be great if those of the contest participants who are using such special techniques could explain in a blog post or series or video how they did what the did (at least in general). Then others (like me) who have no idea how this could be done on a 1.79MHz machine could learn from it and use similar approaches in other kinds of games, and even non-Atari users could learn from the general ideas. I'm still marvelling at last year's Time Wizard and how even theoretically this could be done on our little machine. Back in the days, we had magazines where people like Peter Finzel would have a series of articles explaining their knowledge, but this kind of format no longer seems to exist in the web these days. So please, all you wizards, spread the knowledge so that such kind of games can be produced for many more decades to come :)!

Beeblebrox Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 (edited) 10 hours ago, 8Bitjunkie said: Wow! Awesome! So just a related note. I am always amazed at how talented A8 coders can push the sometimes quirky graphics modes of the little Atari, and even create new ones. This game is inspired by the Amiga game Ruff n ready: A few years back there was a thread which was experimenting with PAL blending techniques and one of the proof of concept demo game engines - which I have thought amazing - also took direct inspiration from the aforementioned Amiga platformer/shooter: Check it out: tiles-pal-jose-alt2.xex Edited September 4 by Beeblebrox 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darwinmac Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 @shanti77 - I am wondering why your document says “works with the PAL system”. So far, I have not seen a problem playing your game in NTSC. I volunteer for ABBUC and we were asked to try out the ATRs for the contest. That is why I saw your game early. I am thinking I may run into problems later as I get better at your game. I have enjoyed your previous games so I am hoping it will continue to work correctly in NTSC. Bob C 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanti77 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 @darwinmac Game works correctly in the PAL system. In NTSC, with more sprites there will be slowdowns. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
