PeterG Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Just wanted to share some impressions from the Event yesterday, it was really wonderful. For over twenty years I attend every year and it's always a pleasure to meet friends old and new. It's a great time to be a fan with a lot of stuff happening and lots of nice chats and stuff to see and discover. Competitions and great fun all around. This year we had a packed house and for me a very special visit by Songbird with Carl and Alyssa making their way over from the States bridging the Jagfests, as was done before with our friends from France, UK and Italy but of course these are different distances. I had a great spot next to @bmx and @agradeneu with my nephew and niece rocking the Jaguar all day and leaving in the evening only after they beat Another World. It was awesome, thanks to Björn for organising the event and I hope that the second day will be attended equally well even though I know some people won't be able to make it. Here some impressions. 27 4 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374823-e-jagfest-2024/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris K. Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Cheers, was a great event, had a ton of fun and it was great chatting with people! Was very nice meeting you, @PeterG, and @Songbird as well as many others. Also, it was great to see the final version of Jumping at Shadows with box and everything, too bad it could not be bought right on the spot, but oh well 3 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374823-e-jagfest-2024/#findComment-5560121 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Slayer Edition looks really great. Lots of cool stuff in it. OpenLara is more of a curiosity, it's kinda neat to see the Jaguar put the images on the screen but it runs with 1 or 2 FPS, so it's not really playable, but cool nonetheless. 6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374823-e-jagfest-2024/#findComment-5560132 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played the ST version extensively and know the game in and out, nice to see the changes they put in, the 60FPS, the high color, the port is done by Marc Rosocha himself.

Songbird Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 I brought the Wings of Death proto cart, and also a proto Ultravore cart for the Lynx. Was great to see fans playing both games. Pretty sure Ultravore will be my next Lynx project, after I spend a few weeks on Jaguar Old Towers squashing the big bug... 6 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374823-e-jagfest-2024/#findComment-5560470 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks at @Songbird to bring it with you to check it out You would be a great tester! I did not notice much difference between high color and the 16 color STE mode. The original artwork is done with 16c pallettes, you would need to put a lot of work into remastering it with more colors. However, for example, adding a CRY fog and clouds layer on top of the level map would make it look more "Jaguar" to great effect IMO. 5 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/374823-e-jagfest-2024/#findComment-5562271 Share on other sites More sharing options...
