" ... Adapted to CPR a basic game called DOMINO and made for Microhobby by Julio Marcos. It is very simple but very faithful to the original board game. I have allowed myself the license to version and redefine the keys of this game for the gamepads of the GX4000 consoles, modifying certain aspects of the original game so that it can be played only with a two-shot gamepad, although it can also be played with its original keys and your full options on a cpc/cpc+ with M4 to read CPR files. I hope you nostalgic people enjoy it ... "

Thank you for listening. I think part of the experiment is seeing the range of performances it creates, and the acoustic song about debugging and final doo-wop song are interesting, so it's worth coming back and skipping the ones you don't like.
It Won't Take Time sounds like a song from the 80s celebrating the Amstrad, so that's a win for me, although I know a lot of people will find it dated. I'm still astonished at how good the results are, given that it was created by AI given just a few words of a text prompt. I'm not really comparing the software with a human creator, as much as I am in marvelling at how good it is for a computer, and wondering about where it could go next.

Interesting (and scary) experiment. I gave your tracks a listen, but I could not go past "It won't take time", it sounded too generic, repetitive, not engaging. Maybe I'll have another go at the remaining tracks later ..

Feel free of making any comment @iXien, I respect your opinion and I learn with every feedback.
The reason for our choice, it was because is not an arcade game, it is a console game. And the nes backgrounds are only in the first levels for putting your focus in learning the gameplay. Then after that, every new screen that you reach will be a prize, hehehe.
I can show a picture about how this game would look before getting the order of being converted to plus (no IA used here):

Quote from: overange on Today at 15:51With the work that was done with plotting/Flipull+ could it be possible to re-engineer Gazza into the never released Plus Version based on the limited screen shoots?That is not possible, at least until I can finish the ArnoldGPT. Until then you need to develop a full game, hehehe.
Quote from: overange on Today at 15:51Or even port ChaseHQ 2 from the Speccy and recreate a new version of what could of been?Well, the game is awful in speccy and the things that we know about the gx4000 version is that the game is terrible in every possible way... the developers are the same of Out Run, Turbo Out Run, Cisco Heat, ... then nothing fun can come from there.

Syx, what a nightmare! You be proud that you finished it, because pretty much anybody else would have given up on that thing. However the result is very charming!!!
