[C64] QUOD INIT EXIT games
« on: April 22, 2010, 05:02:17 PM »
Hi,

since we're all amigans here, I guess many, like me, first owned a C64... well, I'd like to inform those who still hold dear that machine that a new preview of HOC INIT EXIT - a toy game for the C64 I fiddle with in my spare time - is now available: check it out on CSDb.



List of changes:
 - added music (by Richard Bayliss);
 - added hiscores;
 - added game over notification;
 - improved graphics in a few places;
 - made title screen colorful.

Enjoy!

Previews 2a and 2b
« Reply #3 on: September 06, 2010, 01:38:29 PM »
Hello,

I'd simply like to inform you that since the previous announcement there have been a couple of updates.
The changes are minor:
* fixed a badly positioned variable assignment which inhibited the reset of difficulty at the beginning of a new game;
* fixed color flickering occurring when the "GAME OVER" string was flashing and the pig was on the first or second platform;
* retouched graphics slightly;
* sped-up a little platforms generation.

The preview is available on the CSDb page as usual.

Hi Saimo, great to see someone still coding new stuff for the C64, well done...:)

Just downloaded it and am about to give it a go on my C64 emulator on my iMac, let you know what I think of it soon... :)

Keep on coding... :)

Nice, next to the classic (68k) amigas the c64 is my favorite machine, so its always good to see new software for it. Looks quite nice from the picture, I'll have to have a look later (mostly hi-res too I see, which isnt common with lots of color).
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

Well, I can't really call myself "C64 coder", as my knowledge is very limited... I wish I had time to become one, but unfortunately it isn't possible :/
Anyway, I'm glad that sometimes I have the chance of retouching this little toy project of mine.

Thank you, I hope my little game will at least bring a smile on your face (it isn't meant to be a serious game) :)

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked the game :)

BTW: the music is by Richard Bayliss and I find it nice as well (especially the start screen tune).

Preview 3
« Reply #12 on: October 04, 2010, 02:03:32 PM »
Preview 3 is available now - get it  here ;)



List of changes since version 2c:
* added end-of-level special phase (including new graphics and music);
* improved graphics;
* added catches notification;
* added music fadeout;
* improved platforms variety;
* fixed a bug in the chart saving routine (only the first save would work);
* made many speed and memory optimizations;
* made lots of other changes (mostly internal, for future development).

(To administrators: since I'll be posting about all versions always in this thread, is it possible to remove the "2" from the title?)

Changes:

 * added level part to score shown in in-game screen;
 * compressed the program for faster loading;
 * made various other minor changes.

Here are a few updated screenshots:
