2011 - what can a cpc'er look forward to?

[cpc4eva]

the first month of 2011 already at half way and am wondering what sort of projects will be undertaken this year for the cpc. 


I have seen sub hunter on the psytronik site and screens look very nice hope the game play is good too.  The screen shots look very familiar - p-47 perhaps ?

My new year's resolution is to learn programming and rewrite codename mat.

I'm not good at keeping resolutions but maybe you'll get it for christmas.

[Gryzor]

Looking really great, Sub Hunter... really looking forward to buying it.

From my part, my resolution is to make the wiki more stable and, hopefully, successful...

[robcfg]

You mean more sucessful, no? 

[MacDeath]

Successfull ? as in getting a lot of money from advertisments ?

or Sucks full ? 


Well to me it may be a heavy year if I can get Half what I want done...

=working on the way to get an Arduino Mega1280 usefull as an extension port peripheral...(like additionnal AYpsg or internet or whatever...)
=learning to code (in order to get this arduino working)coding..
=getting an Amstrad6128+ surfing on the Internet...
=getting Bloxorz clone done.
=having sexual intercourses on a regular basis.
=Nespresso...what else ?

[Gryzor]

Nespresso... I'd never tie myself to a proprietary machine...

[cpc4eva]

wow looks like a good year ahead for a cpc'er -


bubble bobble remake
r - type remake
sub hunter
possible codename mat remake

cant wait




resolutions i never make em....... i always break em........ i hope someone bombs (manure)  man united 

[TFM]

Resolution? Resolution? Release... ah, yes... FutureSoft will release "A Tribute to the Sisters" in 2011 - for sure

Hello,

Don't forget "Uwol", that's a promising game too :-). And I think other programs will be released this year, as many guys are more working on games than on demos.

T&j/GPA

[trocoloco]

don't forget either that SyX and Dadman are working on King's valley 1 and 2 cpc conversions, hopefully (and almost sure) they will be ready for this year as well

[fano]

Don't forget "Uwol", that's a promising game too

+1 this one seems very promising too !

[SyX]

+1 this one seems very promising too !

+5 in the case of R-Type 128Kb  +100 if the physical version includes the MSX cover

But if i can dream about i would like for the CPC in this year... get some free time to think about:

1.-  How overlay (or superimpose) the cpc video signal with the signal of mpg4 video decoder (with an usb pendrive to storage the videos) and make a port of Dragon's Lair and other arcade and MSX LaserDisc.

2.- Make a Bee Card adaptor for the CPC and say good bye to tapes and disks

I am working on a game. I started it before Christmas, and it's around 60% complete. There will be a version for cpc and for +.
Give it a few more months before I can release it

btw, again this will be a free game to download.

EDIT: No source this time

[Gryzor]

@trocoloco: ?!?
@arnoldemu: wouldn't mind buying it, mind you...

[MacDeath]

Hey syx, one more post and you'll get rid of your lame Speccy for a powerfull CPC464...

Keep up the good work mate...

[SyX]

Well, in that case Bye Bye Sperrium!!! (Note: Speccy + spanish word of dog + suffix 'um' to look latin and sound 'ye olde'  )

Keep up the good work mate...

You know, always a lot of ideas about classic games with a bit of hardware, how a breakout clone with a paddle... C'est mon truc pour rendre le tout plus agréable au goût (google help me to said that  )

[MacDeath]

suffix 'um' to look latin and sound 'ye olde'

like... cough... rectum... cough...?

[sigh]

I've got a few:

1: To get this beat em up game made.
2: Start planning heavily animated, side view smooth pixel scrolling 128KB football game.

Football is not a sport that a like very much and I dont play the games, but animating diving headers, bicycle kicks, heel flicks and other footy skills would be good fun!

...and I must get a 6128 PLUS to play R-Type...

wow sounds fun


maybe have a go at a microprose soccer 6128+ remake with larger screen size coloured sprites, better goalie contol and some extra features ?

[trocoloco]

@trocoloco: ?!?

remember this post ? http://cpcwiki.eu/forum/index.php/topic,1393.msg13967.html#msg13967

to be honest I don't know how is doing lately this project, but I guess they are very busy with uwol atm and other things too.

[MacDeath]

Soxer ? why not speedball instead ?

Football is for quiche eaters...

[Gryzor]

Still, it'd be very refreshing to see a new sports game...

[TFM]

Turkey shooting?

[Gryzor]

Even that. Oh, and also someone create a light gun

[Bryce]

On the hardware side, priority No. 1 is to get the MegaFlash finished. Then there's a whole list of other hardware projects which won't all happen in 2011 Other plans include: A DKtronics Speech Synth clone (without needing an SPO256), an Ethernet Port and then I might look at doing a lightgun But there's a bigger Project happening in the Background, which might slow down all other projects this year

@MacDeath: Aren't owning an Nespresso Machine and having regular sex mutually exclusive events?

Bryce.

P.s. I really like Quiche.
