LOL

that would be hilarious. 

It's actually a funny as fuck idea.   maybe I will come up with some cheesy idea like this.

That would be an AWESOME bonus indeed! Great idea, cabbage!

Since we're now on the topic of Sea Monkeys, You can add a bonus virtual aquarium option to Atlantean where you can raise and care for some of the little guys. By reaching certain levels, scores, etc. you can unlock new scenery and different sea monkeys. Just a thought... :P

Or perhaps playing it, would unlock new ships & stuff in the main game?

I got a Sea Monkey PS1 game. 

anyway, some of you got to see the footage of the game in person.

Feedback was high on the controls and the art.

This is a good sign.

I was told "man, this inertia is really inertia-y.  I like it"

The only REAL problem with really interia-y controls is that underwater inertia would naturally be dampened. But maybe it is space water, so it is OK.

Anyway, yeah, I can contest that Atlantean is looking and feeling pretty great, at least once I get over my "Why is there so much inertia underwater?" issue, which I didn't even realize was an issue until after the fact  : )

I voted "NO", but I'm with henry: definitely include 3-button support. I have a bunch of 3-button pads (they are my default pad).

I still don't have a 6-button, and I don't want to be left out. IMG

So, I am not going to be providing 6 button support.   It doesn't seem quite worth it at this point.

Also, I tried it out some.

It SUCKS.


It is not like the arcade controls in which the reverse button is right next to your joystick hand and you can just plop your thumb down and turn.

It's disorienting.   You can't easily reverse and shoot because it requires the same hand.   So, screw that shit.



In other news, you'll all be getting 3 shots.  They move fast.  Like, 8 pixels per frame fast.  Any faster and it looks retarded.

I've got the shots working like I want them to, finally.  Even at 8 pixels/frame, the collisions seem to be sound.   

Next up, is going to be having enemies return fire.


I have to take some creative liberties with Atlantean VS. Defender.

We aren't using a blitter, and cannot do all the shit on screen that Defender did.

It seems to be OK so far though, especially since the Defender art was tiny and lent itself well to lots of shit on screen.

Atlantean uses 16x16 sprites.   All of that stuff really does clutter the screen, fast.   

It won't be radically different though.    You'll still have mine droppers, assholes that follow you, assholes that blow up and launch things that follow you, and all of that.


and the 10 man pickup strategy will not work for you in Atlantean.   

That was where you could grab all the guys and hold them and slow the game down because the machine would draw all the humanoids on screen (on top of each other).   

PCE can handle that no problem. 

So, no cheating.

and there wont be any option where you can get the mutants to all come out, and then do the reverse bug and easily pot shot them either! 

YEAH

anyway, you can see some of the latest images for the game at

www.aetherbyte.com/pce_atlantean.html


Basically, the enemies return fire now.   I am working out some kinks/fine tuning it at this point.  It works, but I don't like the ranges they kind of lead the shot a bit, so you end up having an awful time trying to not die.

It's too hard!   No good.


Once this is all bashed out, I am going to have landers + mutants w/ shots that can KILL YOU.

but then, expect a break from Atlantean for just a little.   I have to work on Inferno.  It's got a deadline of 12/31/2012 since it's for a contest.   Otherwise, I would not pause Atlantean.

Everything is lookin' sweet.

Don't forget to have easteregg references/homages to TG-16/PCE games in Atlantean.

For example, a secret underwater cave that can be entered, revealing a lair with _______________________.

I've gotta admit: when you first started talking about this game, I wasn't too excited. I was still planning on buying it, of course, but it didn't seem like my kind of game. After seeing those screenshots, though, I'm pretty damn pumped for this. It looks great! Nice work!

(1) Hell yes, I enjoyed the bubbles.

(2) The tune is nice.


And now for something new...

(3) I love the Atlantean Babies, especially how they will fall to the ocean floor and EXPLODE if they can't be saved.

(4) When Atlantean Babies are saved (by placing them tenderly on ocean floor), I'll be happy if there is a pleasant (subtle!) sound to indicate that the baby is safe (for the meantime). :pcds: Actually, in general, I think most repetitive sound effects should be subtle (muffled) to prevent them from becoming grating. My two cents on the soundscape :pcds:.



So far, Atlantean is WONDERFUL.
