Vic-20 Spacer Remake Amiten Software 2012

[Amiten]

Hi all,
 
This is a remake I'm doing of an old game for Commodore VIC-20 called "spacer" of Anders Persson you can see the original title in this site
 
http://user.tninet.se/~jad615g/viconline/
 
 
As you know I created a new label to create games and software for the Amiga and compatible software called Amiten Software, whoever you know that the doors are open and everybody are welcome to colaborate with us. The site where the projects are developed is the Amiten Software.
 
I hope you like I send greetings and Merry Christmas to all!
 
and this is what has gone after 4 hours of hard work

I don't know the vic20 game, but the ship is the Vic Viper from Gradius/Nemesis from Konami.*Even the powerups are the same.*Was that on purpose?.
By the way, looks cool.

Looking nice Amiten, I hope an artist gets on board to give you new graphics, then you you'll have that original touch. Those rotating asteroids look very cool.

Anders commented on your Youtube video so I took the initiative to message him to ask him if he could kindly point us to a link where we could run this game on VICE emulator.

Hopefully he will see the hundreds of VIC20 gameplay videos I have uploaded and respond

Thank you, works a treat.

Video up shortly. Just go on Youtube and search for "Spacer" "VIC20" and "web20" and you will find it pretty quickly

Another graphics rip-off?

I played the game a little, I really think the main graphic on the VIC-20 game resembles the MK2 Viper from Battlestar Galactica. If you would like me to do some renders just PM me with the size of image you need for the sprites and how many frames/of what position etc and I am happy to do that for you.

So are you saying IF I ever finish my 1 level demo of Gradius/Nemesis (Konami) game for the Amiga you wouldn't like it because I will be using sprite/background rips rather than rubbish interpretations of the original arcade graphics?

The topmost pic is of Orion Nebula likely from Nasa and thus freeware at least.

But certainly the (C) graphics has been licensed...

Yes. Nothing turns me off a project faster than when the graphics department consists of Google Image Search. You could at least use these things as a base and do your own interpretations.
