Ok, I do need now some few reliable, honest, quiet and excellent gamers who would like to do the beta testing of the 64 KB Version of Cyber Chicken. Any volunteers?

Ah sh*t, I went and modded my CPC to a 4mb spec with a 20mb vortex drive as I was convinced you'd do a version for that.

64kb?! Who uses that these days? This is the 90s you know!

Excellent Redbox, laughed my arse off.

But @ TFM: I'll test it

Bryce.

@Redbox: You can volunteer for the 128 KB version then.[nb]BTW: The actual 64 KB Version runs also with 4 MB RAM and a Vortex Winchester. You can start from hard-disc of course.[/nb]

@Bryce: Ok, I'll send you an DSK tomorrow[nb]Just found a small bug.[/nb]. Thanks' for your help.

Thanks' for your intensive and comprehensive testing.

Now I also started work at the 128 KB version. Up to now it already got more songs, all in perfect Tom&Jerry quality.

working on it...

TFM · 20:45, 18 November 13

Yes. And again you did a terrific job!

TFM · 20:12, 24 November 13

Cyber Chicken News:

- Level 5 contains even more alterations in Unexpectedness
- Level 6 is a Gun Range, don't shoot the Astronauts!
- Level 7 contains Kamikaze Chicken

The source code of the game has now reached 636 KB, so I'm glad to have it all on Vortex format (704 KB), but soon I have to split

But I want make the game as big as possible for 128 KB.

Devilmarkus · 21:09, 24 November 13

You can be lucky

You got your GFX you need

robcfg · 21:27, 24 November 13

Awesome!

I can't wait to get it!

TFM · 18:20, 25 November 13

Thank you so much!!! Motivation is a wonderful thing :-D

For the benefit of the 128 KB Version I had to drop the version for FutureOS. But it's not a big miss in this case. There wouldn't be any obvious differences.

TFM · 02:27, 27 November 13

Level 7 in progress. Level 8 is planned... Meanwhile the handbook in English...

TFM · 06:03, 01 December 13

Using 704 KB Vortex Format... Source get's soo much... Disc is nearly full

TFM · 17:32, 04 December 13

The TAPE Version got shipped

EDIT: Just finished 128 KB / Disc Version! Now the testing starts...

TFM · 20:27, 08 December 13

Need tester right now! Email me please!

EDIT: Found! Thanks!

TFM · 20:13, 12 December 13

Thank's a lot to Nich and FGBrain for testing. Both provided excellent feedback. I will try to reflect on that as much as possible. In some cases both agree, in some cases the taste is different. Very interesting :-)

Here I also want to thank every body who made the project possible :-D

TFM · 04:10, 14 December 13

Ok, added a function to save and load the TOP12 like Nich suggested.[nb]It did fit only in the 128 KB version though. No chance for the 64 KB disc version. Sorry.[/nb] Did just send the final DSK to Marco, he will copy it to the real Discs over the weekend, and then the games get shipped :-)

Glad to be finally done with it :-)

TotO · 10:38, 14 December 13

I hope that all the last minute changes will be properly tested to avoid side back effects.
Please, take time to do that before shipping them. Better to wait 1 more week than getting a bugged floppy.

TFM · 22:39, 14 December 13

FG Brain and Nicholas did intensive testing and provided valuable information. However, both didn't find a mayor bug. Of course it never can be excluded that in some dark place a last one of them is hiding. Let's hope for the best.[nb]Since I tested the game a lot by myself I found out that I'm not really the worst gamer in CPC world as I always assumed.

You are right about "side back effects". Changing one thing more often has impact on other functions.

TFM · 23:36, 16 December 13

The shipping of the disc version has begun.
