Quote from: Xyphoe on 05:23, 20 January 11I would say there is a 'wish list' for the Easter Egg CPC port, and there's lots of request being posted around various forums and in the vid comments.

No problem ,we are taking time to read all messages but that takes a lot of time so we can not reply all.Some points are design choices or technical constraints but we are aware (JCVD was here) about others.

Quote from: Xyphoe on 05:23, 20 January 11Really though, I think the main thing would be looking at improving the scrolling of the level areas, it could just be emulation but it doesn't appear to be that much smoother than the original although thankfully we don't have it appearing in chunks at the side of the screen (yuck!)

The scrolling is smoother than original but we are using mode 0 so artifacts on heavy loaded zones are more visible because the pixel width.It is less but still visible on a real CPC and i still have some technics (except improving its speed as i think i reached maximal optimisation w/ axelay trick (not in this video)) to check to improve this as best as possible (in fact , we made the choice to use a simple buffer to save speed and memory)

Original arcade laser don't have color cycling.

It must depend on the version, or revision model... the arcade cab I have sitting at home in my garage, i'm 99.9% sure changes colour on the laser. Also, i'm sure the arcade perfect port of R-Types on the PS1 shows the colour changing from a light blue to a light purple. I might be wrong though, doubt has now entered my mind... will have to check when I get home.

My R-Type PCB don't have laser color cycling, M.A.M.E. "world" ROM set don't have too.
I have take a look on youtube : Arcade longplay don't display this feature, and R-Types PS1 longplay ... Not more.

But ... We can try.

My Spanish isn't even a tenth up to scratch!! Anyone out there able to give a general idea on the MSX clans views on the new remake? I know we had the Atari views....

*doh!!! Using the translation tool. Sorry....it's been a long day...

Any idea about the release date? Don't hurry, but I can't wait so see it :-))))

viddi · 13:21, 18 June 11

*cough*

Any news on a release date?!

TotO · 13:33, 18 June 11

Hi!

We are always working on it. It's around 90% finished.
The first expected release date was for "easter", but we have to improve it and... doing with the real life too.
Please stay tuned, you will not be disapointed!

norecess · 16:05, 18 June 11

Keep on the great polishing! In the end, that will be really appreciated.

fano · 17:24, 18 June 11

Thx , we are late because some things were not enough good (to keep the feeling of some epic situations for eg) for us so we had to redo them from scratch.Events in real life have too something to do with that.
I must admit i am very impatient to release it (not only for this one but to continue other projects too) but we still have a lot of work before.I just hope you'll enjoy it as myself when i test a build on my CPC

You said that because you didn't see Stage 3

Bin bon courage les gars...

If we can play it this summer, would be a great summer hit.

viddi · 22:21, 18 June 11

robcfg · 21:04, 28 July 11

Hey Fano,

Keep up the good work! When it's finally released it's going to be one of the better CPC conversions around

jbaudrand · 07:22, 29 July 11

That's what I like in retro, otpimization, no patching.
bonne continuation les gars, vous nous faites rêver.

TFM · 16:14, 29 July 11

Ja genau, so schaugts aus. Haltet's Euch ran, des wird schon noch!

Enjoy!

Gryzor · 08:00, 30 September 11

Really lovely tune, I can hear it in my head accompanying an R-Type level pretty well!

Reminds me of Batman the Movie...

YES!
Now, imagine that it's the "worst" of the game...

TotO · 13:38, 03 October 11

Sorry to share my enjoyment about the music work.
I'm the first to be impatient about the game release... In some weeks.
