Susuwatari Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Last I heard the game should have been out already but it's not and the web site shows it will be released at AGE 2004 and OKGE 2004 and that's a few more months. I hope the release dat edoesn't get bumped a few more months by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
classics Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I'm also looking forward to this one. I really hope there will be a way to get a copy online, I dont plan on attending those shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari Dogs Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Put me on the list to buy one. I will not be able to travel to Austin or Oklahoma. I miss the CinciClassic. From the Adventure II wed site it looks pretty cool. I cannot remember, I hope the game will be different each time like on game three of Adventure. It seems to be a great game for a sequal.

SteveW Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Now that I have a working 5200 (not the controllers, of course!) i've gotsa get me one of them Adventure II carts! It was pretty damn impressive when I played it at AGE last year. I'll need to buy a Redemption joystick adapter, first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Yes, I thought I'd be done by now, but frankly Adventure II isn't done yet for two reasons: 1. I didn't anticipate being so busy in my personal life. Last summer, my wife got injured (back problems) and I've had to do many more tasks every day for over a year now. She is better now but still not able to do some things (like go grocery shopping) that many people take for granted. Couple that with work, kids, family, house maint, and having time to just relax .. and my Adv II coding time suffers. 2. The bar has been raised with recent homebrews and .. well, this friendly competition has made me want to improve a few things with Adv II. I won't release the game until I am satisfied with it. If you think I've been too quiet, let me know. I can post more frequent updates & stuff. The plan (and it is not 100% guaranteed, but probable) is that the game will be done by September for the show(s). Even if by chance I slip, it won't be much longer.

+Cafeman Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Okay, there is a 3rd reason and that is "Atari 8bit port" issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Player Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I won't release the game until I am satisfied with it. *clap clap clap* Come on people, which way do you want it? Now or good? And what are you doing posting here, Ron? Get back to work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I hope the game will be different each time like on game three of Adventure. Yep. In the original Adventure, you got Game 1 (easy maze) and Game 2 (big maze). Game 3 was big maze but random locations of items. In Adventure II, there will be several different sized mazes, all constructed around basically 4 kingdoms. Some of the screens were designed like jigsaw puzzle pieces, so we shift screens around in some games to give different mazes. Concerning item placements, currently they are are never in the same location every time you play regardless of which Game Option you choose. However, I purposely don't put game items so incredibly far apart that you have to backtrack all the time. The troll, when he steals items, always hides the items in the same general viscinity (or kingdom) where he stole it from. Thus if he steals your sword after you've crossed into the 4th Kingdom (the Dark Kingdom), you will know that the sword is hidden somewhere within that same kingdom and not back on (gasp) screen 1. I also put in checkpoints for after you've been eaten so you don't have too many screens to backtrack on. (I don't want to punish the player by making them backtrack too much). With these combinations, plus the way the dragons, troll, and other character think & act, I hope that you'll get a new experience everytime you play. And it will be a while before you've seen every screen and every scenario. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEBRO Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 Last summer, my wife got injured (back problems) I'm sorry to hear that Ron. It's nice to hear she's doing better.

NoahsMyBro Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 My bday is mid-september - so your schedule may provide an awesome Birthday gift! And as has been stated previously - I'd also rather wait for something outstanding than get something good, but not as good, now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcprs1 Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 I don't have a 5200 yet, but I'm planning on getting one just for this game. I've been looking forward to this one since I first heard about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DracIsBack Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Okay, there is a 3rd reason and that is "Atari 8bit port" issues. Must have skipped over this! Maybe we'll all be real lucky and be playing this game in time for Christmas! <woohoo> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Cafeman Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Maybe we'll all be real lucky and be playing this game in time for Christmas! <woohoo> I'd be very disappointed myself, if I didn't get it done by then. It's getting close. Check the development site for more info of the game's status, in fact I just updated it a few days ago: http://cafeman.www9.50megs.com/atari/5200d...Adventure2.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnice Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yeah, I just checked the Adv. II site the other day, and was greeted with my first glimpse of the minotaur! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red 5 Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 I can't wait ! What a Christamas ! Halo 2 AND Adventure 2 ! (Is it strange that I am equally excited for both games?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackAtarian Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Ill be buying that one! besides Mountain King, I dont really have any adventure games for the 5200, and I want to improve my collection for that system. Im seriously thinking that your game very well might be the best game ever for the 5200 when its done (at least Im hoping that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7800Lover Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Adventure II? Someone made a sequel? Where can I get more information? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atari Dogs Posted September 4, 2004 Share Posted September 4, 2004 Wouldn't it really suck if they ran out of rom and released it like Impossible Mission (actually impossible). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Posted September 5, 2004 Share Posted September 5, 2004 Please for the LOVE of GOD take as much time as you need to make this game the RIGHT way.... it just better be good when it comes out. We've waited nearly 25 years for an Adventure sequel, I think we can wait a few more months. That is definately one of the most beautiful games I've seen on the 5200. Congrats on such a good job.
