Defence - Tower defence work in progress

For instance, Marche à l'ombre (mentioned in another thread) - mode 0? Hm.

That game looks terrible IMHO! Needs colour, and what's with that tiny small window, sorry, big turn off.


That's another thing I've noticed with Mode 1, even smaller playing windows for most games...

Definitely feel that there is a place for mode 1 stuff , I do prefer Mode 0 and its spectacular ,colourful blockiness . I feel there is a lot of hate for Mode 1 stuff cos it reminds us of Speccy ports ,and yes  I used to hate the look when I saw a mode 1 game appear on the screen tbh. There are many instances when it was used effectively it looked great  and I feel that some games that we got in mode 0 would have been better done using Mode 1 , Stuff like Shadow fire and many other games which I can't think off the top of my head would have looked far sharper .
As always I feel it depends on the game type

Sometimes I convert some pictures for CPC and most of them look very poor in mode 1. I miss colors more then I miss details. So in my opinion most games look better in mode 0 too.

For example compare Lotus CPC and C64. But not all. Compare Switchblade in CPC mode 1 with some extra colors and wide pixels in C64.
Fres Fighter - I think have soo good palette and so marvellous details, I afraid in mode 0 could be less impress.
Nigel Mansell's - for God sake, who decide to trees, grass, Ferrari, Maclaren, stop lights and all flags should be soooo Blue (Da Ba Dee)?  So do I think should be mode 0 ?   Not nessesery, but with right 4 colors (and one of them must be red) plus some 2 extra over horizon in rasta could be fantastic.
And Chess look good in mode 1 too.

Lol Blues Brothers and Nigel Mansel , I thought they looked pretty cool , I liked the style tbh

So now I think the game is ready to begin balancing and testing. For this task I'm searching for one or two of you to help me with this task. So if you like to and think you have enough time and fun to help balancing the game please contact me. Best of all you are also able to test the game on different hardware than I own (I can only test on 6128 and 6128+). Remind that the game needs 6128 compatible 128kB. I can provide the images as dsk or HxC-files.

Noone ?

Two more weeks time - would playing it on emulator help ? Dunno if I'll build up my 4-576 next days

For balancing (and this is the main task at the moment)  playing on emu would definitely help.

Hi Shining, I have time now (still not home for 1 week, but having WinApe here ), maybe you can PN me?
