Amiga - Jogos em desenvolvimento

[Immortal]

Com o aproximar da versão final de JUMP!, o jogo em que este se inspirou: YOOMP!, um original do c64, está a receber ele próprio uma conversão para AMIGA.

Perfect timing, não acham? é no minimo irónico...

YOOMP! - AMIGA

O DREAD tem evoluido no seu desenvolvimento...agora com a inclusão de novos mapas.

[Immortal]

O Souveran Soccer, está a ficar da vez melhor e as melhorias implementadas são muitas...
De destacar o público do estádio que tem agora uma maior dimensão, ficando sem efeito as paisagens que se encontravam em plano de fundo.





The city skyline has been removed to make room for more crowd. The tons of previous optimizations made that possible. This has the additional benefit that I don't have to come up with 20+ different skylines for the release...

- The crowd now consists out of multiple layers, each of them zoomed, scrolled and animated seperately. For now there are three such crowd layers. Maybe I'll add even more (they are rather cheap in terms of performance and it's coded to be easily adjustable), but I think three is a pretty good amount.

- The crowd's zooming is now muuuuch (maybe I need more even more "u"s here) smoother than before. Was a bit tricky but eventually I managed to come up with a solution that doesn't eat up all Chip-RAM

- The crowd is more colorful. Well, could be even more colorful but because it's a placeholder gfx I didn't put too much effort into it. Just a proof of concept.

- The formerly blank grey crowd stand is now an adboard. The ad is generated procedurally, the text can be changed at match start.

- The top goal is now lapping over into the grass and isn't cut-off anymore at the raster-line where the grass begins. This might look like not being a big deal but was really tough. The main reason is that once the copper is inside the grass area it's ultra-busy, all available instructions per line are already used up. But with the top-goal being inside the grass now I had to somehow get some extra sprite-color and -priority changes being done there, things that were done outside the grass before, because the top-goal sprites are being reused for the bottom-goal... Eventually I found a hacky way to get away almost for free without extra copper instructions by doing the color changes before for a different color bank and switch to the right bank at the right point en passant, phew.

- All lines and circles are more white now and distance fading is smoother here too. Also, the grass texels shine through those lines now, making it all appear much more natural.

- The crowd / skyline change also implied trashing and redoing the whole stats / message area at the top. All that stuff is now done using hardware-sprites. Was a bit messy because I have to reset and modify those sprites in mid of the crowd-copper-handling now (any other approach would have been even messier). Sprite usage is somewhat tricky here because, well, I don't have too many (5) and I need one for the high-flying ball, so there are 4 sprites remaining. Combined sprites to get 16 colors aren't an option, because I need at least 3 sprites inside the same vertical area (# of goals, time and messages); no, there's not enough room to move the messages down, because the goal is too close if zoomed in. So I ended up using two sprites for the team names + # of goals: one pretty slim one for the team-colors, the other for all the text and numbers. Then one sprite for the match time info. And then two for the messages, one of which is the reused slim team color sprite. The color gradient has been removed (would complicate the copper handling here a lot because we're inside the crowd handling, and the visual gain is questionable anyway), drop shadows have been added.

- Some more love has been put into the replay function. When switching between replay and normal play a quick curtain effect now better indicates this mode change. The crowd's animation is now slowed down too if in slow-motion replay mode.

- Played a bit with the sky colors. I want the game to look friendly, not too serious.

- Lots of internal stuff, e.g. working around some sprite DMA issues, speeding up the scaling function and much more.

Greetings to Johnny Ray Worrall who somewhat talked me into reconsidering the crowd / sky area

Se achavam que o DREAD já tinha bom aspeto antes, vejam só estas novas texturas....I-N-A-C-R-E-D-I-T-Á-V-E-L

"Hey guys, time for an update. KK is making progress with his new custom bootloader and is currently also optimising parts of the code in search of further ram savings for stock configurations. Overal we've saved more than 100+ kb already, which means extra room for bigger and more complex maps, texture variety, objects and enemies.

Speaking of which (and in the mean time) I've made sure all this extra space we're gonna get is put to good use, so I've created a series of new gfx packs, including a big expansion of our decor objects and brand new texures. What I'm currently into is a major update to our enemies roster with the addition of new monsters and enemy variants!

Here's a couple screenshots from a test-map I made that showcases some of the new additions."
