This 10 years haven't gone to waste, great game and awesome music,   thanks for sharing it

MacDeath

Would it be possible to get the playlist of the tunes ?

Names, number of track and composer...


Also can it be released as a music pack for AY emulators and Starkos...

So I can put those in my AY emulator playlist per exemple...

I don't think I've ever seen a screen saver on cpc.

The very first screen saver was made for FutureOS loooong time ago. Now you also get screen savers for SOS.

Hello,

Well, I have composed all music, except tunes f9 page 1 (Color) and f8 page 2 (Lonely Robot), done
by Ultrasyd (you can find this information in the game documentation. Oh sorry, you don't have yet your
boxed copy :-) ).
My music have no real name, only things like CHAOS4, MARIKO, and so and so. That's not really useful
to put that kind of thing into the game.
I suppose it is possible to spread the .SKS files soon, but I don't want to make a musicdisk with them.

OK so I assume the names are the same as the name of the skin perhaps ?

Lots of "arpèges en quinte"...sounds quite metal perhaps... but on the overall, this is a complete AY-chiptune album actually...

Also the pre-set song for my skin is really catchy and the main theme/riff is struck into my ears.... ouch...


As many others...
some tunes sounds a bit like 80's synthetizer like Visage's "Fade to grey" IMO...


Also, i tried the game on emulator in Monochrome mode...lol...

1) unplayable
2) almost playable but not really
3) almost playable actually... need perhaps further tests.
4) almost playable but not really
5) almost playable but not really
6) almost playable but not really
7) almost playable but not really
8) playable thx to different shapes.
9) almost playable but not really
a) almost playable but not really
b) almost playable but not really
c) unplayable
d) almost playable but not really, yet the mermaid looks great.  :o
e) unplayable
f) almost playable but not really
g)unplayable

By "almost playable" I mean that  only perhaps a pair of tiles that are too similar, yet the tiles are well differencied with the bachground/empty tiles...or whatever..

yet it is still quite unplayable.

On the other hand, the HUD sometimes looks great in monochrome too.

being almost the only who designed different shapes...I saved the day ;) ...lol...
But hey, who plays on Monochrome nowadays ?


This is perhaps my pride, my skin (and the font) is not the better looking and many stuff are a bit amateur perhaps...
Also as i saw, I obviously ripped the blank tile from Fano's....ouch....

Yet it also contains a few originalities.
Game Over message per exemple, or the different shapes...renames of the stuff in the HUD...
And it is the only Monochrome friendly one... ;D


BTW, the concept of such production with a lot of peoples involved is truely awesome, should do more like this...

Here a typical exemple as attached picture.
But this skin is quite fun, liked it, in colour version.

For green screen it may be better to use patterns for the tiles, or unique tiles for each colour  instead of using colours themselves.

Then making a special "Shape Lines" version... :P

TomEtJerry

Well well, in the name of the game, there is the word "color", so :-).

If someone would have take the time to design a monochronous skin (the toolkit has been spreaded about one year ago... ), we would add it with pleasure into the game, but now, it's a little bit late. Macdeath's skin is the only one that can be played on this kind of monitor, that is clear.

Not a big deal actually... that won't be necessary... :)

The game plays very well on emulator for Monochome-only possessors.

I was just curious to look at the result of the graphics in Greenscreen, that's all.
And appart from having some tiles hard to differenciate, many skins look good actually.



On another matter, Do you have a new project at the moment ?

TomEtJerry
