I have to regretfully announce that I have decided to withdraw from this year's competition.
I just haven't had the time.

A real shame too, as I'm very happy with the tile engine I've created.

Keep Working and win the next year!! nothing is lost!

This is why I aim to produce the best game I can (with my current skills) rather than aiming for a particular place in the competition.
I mean the rules dictate what you want to build somewhat but I feel that producing something I am happy with is far more important than any score that I might get.

I think one of the RetroBytes members (Tony) said the other day on Twitter that they couldn't make it this edition because lack of time. Not sure if this is final, though.

The game looks really awesome, it's a pity if they can't submit it to the competition, but the game will be released anyway and I'm sure it'll be very celebrated.

Arnaud · « **Reply #30 on:** 20:21, 30 October 17 »

Finally my game is finished and send to cpcretrodev.
I'd like to have coded a more optimized engine, but i'm not confident enough in my assembly skill.

The name of my game is Bitume, and i really hope it will be fun to play

Edit : Do you know if a confirmation mail is send after uploading the game on cpcretrodev page ?

ervin · « **Reply #31 on:** 22:49, 30 October 17 »

Well done!
Looking forward to it.

Regarding a confirmation email, I don't think I received one when I entered 2 years ago.

awergh · « **Reply #32 on:** 16:17, 31 October 17 »

Congratulations on finishing something.

I just submitted as well and its only 1:17AM (almost an hour earlier than last year

)

Thanks and congratulation too. It's always a challenge to finish a game even without dead line.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's submissions, it's great to see so many people giving coding a go on these old machines! (even though there's far easier stuff they could be developing!)

Did you send the Akumas part 2 to the Retrodev?

No it's not in there
I'm pretty sure the bad language and psychotic main character in Ep2 must break a good few of the rules of retrodev!!!
the code-base is also heavily based on Ep1, which was already released, so it wouldn't count anyway - oh, and CPC retrodev requires games to be single load - so 4 disks is pretty certainly out!

I think I'd have to start from scratch with something much smaller if I were going to try for it!

It seems to have 29 entries this years (34 for cpcretrodev 2016)

Don't worry i was just for loading screen.

But when you'll have time, i'll be interested to understand why the loader doesn't work with my latest binary.

Ast · « **Reply #40 on:** 13:45, 01 November 17 »

send it to me now... i will see !

Thats good. Last year half of the games were demos, if this year we have proper games that would be an improvement

I've had a look at the videos of this year's entries, and Bitume looks fantastic!
Is it just inspired by Asphalt, or is it meant to be a sequel?

Thank a lot, i really appreciate.
I'd like to have made a better video that shows others enemies and levels with new graphics, but i ran out of time.

It's a kind of sequel

There is no DSK for MoonMan, only CDT. Is it possible to have one? I want to test all this on the my CPC6128.

That's a good game that has a really nice arcade and retro feeling.

The intro screen looks a lot like Gryzor/Renegade

This would have been a good commercial game at the time.

I like the fact that the game handles well 2 button joy (at least via redefine). You have to manage your weapons cleverly.

But i think i came across a bug. After the first game over, the button 1 on the joy is not detected if you restart a game (but it is on the redefine keys screen)
