Adam being cryptic again. He'll soon spill the beans. He can't contain himself :)

Overdrive was that Team 17 driving game, as I recall. Had some great music but I don't recall the game being that good. Or maybe you just meant you are going into overdrive, perhaps?

Parallax could mean the brilliant C64 game from 1986 - or does he just mean he's going to have parallax scrolling in his game?

I was going to create a game called "Chunky wants a bun" and make it an innocent clone of Mr Wimpy. But everyone knows what that title actually really means so I probably couldn't get away with it...

So still only have the vaguest ideas of what I'm going to do but I have got some graphics together for a bit of prototyping:



M2 Pro Mac mini - 16GB 512 SSD
ACER Nitro 5 15.6" Gaming Laptop - Intel® Core™ i7, RTX 3050, 1 TB SSD
Vic 20 - 3.5k 1mhz 6502

well I'm gonna kick things off with a nice master palette I just created...

Cool, always a great start with pixel art, I'm working with my own 32 colour palette.

Great, that's where I'm at - some graphics on-screen.

well I'm going to need some rotating 2d graphics - so fire up the 3d editor... :-*

My ex is my first.
I am the second...
I'm also a gas,
but nothing to laugh at...

I have a plan !

It involves platform elements (nothing too sinister as I hate frustrating games), shooting things, soldiers, helicopters, rescuing prisoners and saving the world from an ELE - extinction level event. Nothing too ambitious really.

Today I made player control system, scrolling test level and lots of screwing up trying to get the main char to jump correctly. I've never made a game involving platforms before so I'm allowed to screw it up a few times before getting it right :)

Still haven't got the screen transition working right either.

Finally I have an excuse to make that game based on audio and waveforms I've always wanted to make.

iWasAdam

OOOh Audio. I like the sound of that!

Now what is this mess:


bitmapped font - check
neon bars - check
16 bit - check

:o

Finally started on my entry. Very WIP this is - especially the game screen. No backgrounds yet , just collider blocks that won't be visible in play but I will use behind scenery so player can traverse ledges and the like.

Long way to go .....

Tommy Gunn, is he shooting at Rocky :o

I love early WIP shots as it's the start of your creation springing into life. The first moving sprite in your game is a personal favourite milestone of mine \o/ with the last few percent of a game being the worst and takes forever.

Good to see you've started :) and I'm glad there is still a way to go as I've not settled on what to do yet :P

Getting to 50percent seems to be a win for me these days😁

Now I like the look of that! If only this was an option for the last comp rather than Kennys shitey sprite sheets  :)
