Btw:

De las más profundas catacumbas ha surgido una filtración cual fumarola de volcán activo... ¡Se confirma Sword of IANNA para CPC! 😲 https://t.co/fwvezBzAFP

Why did they release this information the same day of the Spanish version of April fools? Oh, well.

Looks fantastic and apparently it will run from a Dandanator. The developer doing the port is the same that ported the game to the speccy 48K (using a cartridge).
Released The Return of Traxtor, Golden Tail, Magica, The Dawn of Kernel, Kitsune`s Curse, Brick Rick and Hyperdrive for the CPC.

If you like my games and want to show some appreciation, you can always buy me a coffee.

Yup, I was told about the day's significance and then saw the confirmation 😄 Spaniards...

Hola Xeno!


Thank's a lot for informing us!  :)  Sound is well, the GFX are detailed. But... why are the sprites only in one color? In 2020 spectrum ports should be done far better. Can't be that hard to add some of the CPCs great colors, right? Maybe the converters do read this and give it a polish.  :)

This is really a great game I have played on MSX2.


Good to have a port on our cpc platform.

Ah, very interesting! So the port comes from MSX, not spectrum?

This looks exiting. Nice animation and good variation in levels shown.
I think I would hold back on commenting on the sprite colour as it is shown to us as a WIP.
I wish the team well with this one.

This looks great. Here's hoping there's a physical release which does it justice.

kawickboy

I own the wonderful msx2 release. That's a good new but i sould have hoped a more colorful sprite.

Gryzor

I don't mind it, to be honest. Looks very pretty as it is.

Looks very nice indeed.
I like the mono sprites, they could almost be considered an artistic choice but I guess it's because of the Speccy origins...

I have the impression this is a WIP preview a bit for the Spanish equivalent of April fools day.

The guy working on it made the brilliant Ianna port to the speccy 48K, but I'm not sure if it will look anything like this when is finished (as in: BETTER).
Released The Return of Traxtor, Golden Tail, Magica, The Dawn of Kernel, Kitsune`s Curse, Brick Rick and Hyperdrive for the CPC.

Why not using the colors? Monochrome sprites in a colored game. Sorry, not my taste.  :-X
Or just go completely to MODE 2 - in this case the resolution is better.  :)

I like it a lot! and I actually find those Mode 1 graphics very appealing   :) . Yes, you could argue that a complete rework from scratch in Mode 0 would be "better" but that would also require a huge amount of work and modify the engine more than in the current situation. I am glad to have it as it looks now!

Indeed, the game engine will be in mode 1. The engine has been rewritten and part of the code has been taken advantage of with the game logic while maintaining the screen resolution of the zx / msx 256x192. Although the graphics are in mode 1, the map has been based on the msx version, which includes the background layer and the foreground layer. The screen will be divided into two zones, where the screen will change color palette according to the map area. The marker will have a palette independent of the screen. It is still in the process of adapting the tiles. The music is being done by Mcklain to adapt it to the Amstrad timmings. The startup screen is being processed by Mac just as Spectrum did. More details will be shared shortly and will be shown in real hardware at events.

Wait! Seriously?
This website even hosts a feature on why CPC users are annoyed with all the speccy ports that flooded the machine back in the day.

This is 2020 (happy new year all!) and we kind of have more knowledge on what the CPC can do in comparison to the speccy, and 256x192 with monochrome graphics and (presumably) character-steps animation and low framerate is waaaay too far back.

I'm really curious as a CPC developer myself, what's the point today in converting a game to a superior machine if you don't improve it? I don't doubt SoI is a fun and enjoyable game; but if I want to play a spectrum game I can do so on a Spectrum or a Spectrum emulator.

Yeah, I get it there's a general mentality to welcome everything that comes the CPC way, but this absolute absence of any type of criticism on releases keeps on justifying the things you'd read in casual C64 forums, like 'games on CPC always looked good in still screenshots but in reality they are shit'.


Oh and SoI doesn't even look like a CPC game.

regards,
rb

I would never understand that shitty attitude.

Someone is putting time into producing a game for fun, and they will give you the game for free. You can play it if you want, if you don't think is worth your time... just don't play it.

I don't see the point of gatekeeping, seriously.

I think it's to keep the same color of the Sprites when changing the zone palette.
