Re: New Game: Emu's Massive Hunt (WIP)

Wow - looking really great... "Mom + Dad" - is this NTSC-specific... Does that mean the PAL version with be "Mum + Dad" or "Mam + Dad"? :-) The platform design, baddies and colour-combinations are amazing... Reminds me of a mixture of H.E.R.O and Bounty-Bob Strikes Back...

Re: New Game: Emu's Massive Hunt (WIP)

This is looking to be one of, if not THE, best platformer ever on the Vic...

As an aside, someone called me a "massive hunt" the other day, or at least that's what it sounded like...

Re: New Game: Emu's Massive Hunt (WIP)

Wow - so polished!

This would've sold a million, back in the day.

Really looking forward to the final release.

Cheers,

Mike.

Re: New Game: Emu's Massive Hunt (WIP)

Very nice progress and effects. I still feel like the 'flickering' candle effect detracts from the look - appears more like a glitch than an effect, particularly since there's no candle visible... Ideally it would be nice to have a circular 'spotlight', but I appreciate that may be too complex. Fail...

Re: New Game: Emu's Massive Hunt (WIP)

Very nice looking game. However the flickering in the illuminated area around the character is a little disconcerting.

Is that a design feature, or just a Vic limitation?

Cheers,

Mike.

I've managed to dig out the .TAP version of it (untested), if anyone is interested?

Re: Upcoming H.E.R.O. game

The control and movement are very nice. I just can't get over the lack of texture to the background (makes it easier to see the miners though!) after placing the C64 version to death in the early-mid 1980s!

Is there no way it can upgraded/modified without a total rewrite?

Cheers,

Mike.

Re: Upcoming H.E.R.O. game

Any chance someone could post a quick YouTube clip of the game running? I don't have access to my Vic-20 atm.

Cheers,

Mike.
