But this time BdcIron's part are ready.

Wow really impressive! It is nice to see how the Plus can be much more then just a "different" CPC with more colors.

For those Who want to see :

Beast+ Preview (unfinished) coded for Amstrad Plus by Ast/iMPACT. Gfx done by

Hope you'll like it.

The parallax scrolling is FTW

Ast · « **Reply #29 on:** 12:59, 23 March 15 »

@Gryzor : do you like it?

Gryzor · « **Reply #30 on:** 13:04, 23 March 15 »

Of course I do!

Only two minor remarks: the sprite looks a bit jagged so it would require some fine-tuning, and also its walking pace does not agree with the background scroll so that it appears to be sliding (I think that was an issue on the Amiga too?).

I'd certainly play it to death if it ever appeared on the CPC. Even back then magazines did moan about its playability, but come on guys, let's face it, those graphics were to die for so everyone was in awe and playing just to see more of it...

That's the "Moonwalk" effect

Yeah it is. It'd be actually realistic if the planet was covered in Vaseline

Axelay · « **Reply #33 on:** 14:14, 23 March 15 »

It looks pretty cool, but to my eyes the parallax effect is undermined a little by the way the two most distant 'ground layers' move at a slower rate than the even more distant mountains.

Yeah I noticed that too. Still very nice but that needs fixing.

Ast · « **Reply #35 on:** 20:19, 23 March 15 »

Ok for the fixing, but can you give me any idea about the speed?

Cloud1?
Cloud2?
...
Mountains?
...
Grass....

Tell me speed x, and maybe the way (left to right or right to left)
It will be easy to fix it.

Carnivac: are you interested in making some monsters, eyes,...etc... I'll put it there. It will be funny to have a main menu with some monsters to kill/destroy.... It's sooooo gooooood like that!

Thanks for asking but I'll decline. I've no interest in the Plus machines or their palette. You look like you got it all sorted anyways. Good luck with it.

Ast · « **Reply #37 on:** 14:12, 25 March 15 »

No problem Carnivac... Maybe another time.

Shadow of the beast on plus machines...
It's really good !

||C|-|E|| · « **Reply #39 on:** 22:42, 08 July 15 »

Shadow of the Beast is one of my all time favorite games and I have thought about a CPC+ conversion forever. It is great to see how nice it looks and I hope that you manage to finish it some day guys. Wonderful work

seanb · « **Reply #40 on:** 13:30, 09 July 15 »

Never played it on the amiga but finished it on the megadrive.

I really enjoyed it and I'm always a bit confused by the level of dislike people have for this.

Maybe I need to play it again to see why.

What you've done looks incredible. The background and the clouds. Imagine if games that looked and moved this well had come out for the plus and gx4000.

All people could use to say their machine was better would be sales numbers

The sprite needs a bit of work and the outlines of the mountains is a bit too thick, not that I would complain if I'd bought the full game in the90's I'm just saying to offer feedback now as it still is wip.

Ast · « **Reply #41 on:** 02:44, 14 August 15 »

Baby, baby, one more time....
Here comes the movie coming from my Amstrad Plus screen.

seanb · « **Reply #42 on:** 03:29, 14 August 15 »

That both looks and sounds amazing

TFM · « **Reply #43 on:** 19:44, 14 August 15 »

Great! Small idea: The ground where the man is running should not move more quick than the background mountain (more far away).

TotO · « **Reply #44 on:** 20:53, 14 August 15 »

The real "problem" is the ground... The player must not have to be on the middle of parallax planes. (it is why it look strange when he run)

Ast · « **Reply #45 on:** 20:56, 14 August 15 »

Ok, so where must he be?

alex76gr · « **Reply #46 on:** 21:01, 14 August 15 »

After this video, my jaw dropped to the floor and it's beyond repair!

TotO · « **Reply #47 on:** 21:02, 14 August 15 »

At the good place : Between the sky parallax and the ground parralax. Like on the orriginal version.
Else... The effect not work properly.

arnoldemu · « **Reply #48 on:** 21:23, 14 August 15 »

really impressive demo, is there any plans to make it into a game, or a demo menu or will you keep it as a tech demo?

Ast · « **Reply #49 on:** 21:32, 14 August 15 »

I think about making a demo menu version.... But i can't continue it for the moment coz i've my x-mem problem to solve.
