Looks & sounds awesome, Markus. But is it possible to do a better scrolling, very blurry imho?

viddi · 26 September 2007, 20:07

Great, Markus.

P.S.: Your 3" drive still works fine.

Hi Nerd,
Sorry, there is no better scrolling possible.

It is set to 15 FPS to make it possible to run the game on older systems, too.
(If someone wants, I can give him the Gamemaker 7.0 Pro - .GMK file so he/she can improve this game for him/herself

)

Thanks!
Nice to hear, that my old drive is still working!
If you have new or old CPC stuff, please let me know!
(I now connected a 3,5" drive to my 464 but am searching for a cable for my 6128 to connect it, too)

Thanks for the info, maybe someone is interested in speedup the framerate. Looks probably awesome with 50 FPS.

Yes... but the framerate sets the speed for the game

So you can play the game with 4x speed

Well done.

Think i will playe some rounds today.

A limitation of Gamemaker 7.0 Pro?

Please answer me, if the game is working.
I had some trouble in the past

Hummm... no limitation... But I constructed everything based on 15 fps.
You can build your project to each framerate you want... I desired 15 FPS like the original game

excellent

jmmijo · 27 September 2007, 16:06

Thanks for this remake/update, I'm getting it now

DrF · 27 September 2007, 16:38

Looks very good, dont know if its me, but I think I found a small animation bug, if you walk say left and then walk right fast enough the animation stops and you kinda walk with no animation (the broom stops moving)

Hi Drf,
I know about this "bug"

can't solve it now... sorry

--------------------------------------------

Big update avaiable now!

I made a lot of improvements to version 2.5 which is avaiable now for download!

The changes:
- Now there are 3 music-tunes in the game!!!
1 for menu, credits, messages etc...
1 for the world
1 for the caves

- All audio is now external in seperate folders!

- If the witch enters a cave, it is not possible to exit the cave immediately.
This I made, because lots of people asked about this. If they entered a
cave, the often were thrown out of it... Now you have to wait a few
seconds to be able to leave a cave.

- Some improvements and cleaned-up the sources

Cheers, Markus

@Devilmarkus

Not a problem its a good game

I'm just looking for things while I play so you may fix them one day

About caves, when I entered a cave I walked straight back out I was walking left as I went into the cave so when the cave came on the screen the which was walking left as if to exit the cave, it all happend so fast.

My problem was that the which kept walking, and went right out again.
Also I do have reading/writing problems.

I hope, everthing is fine now

If you walk left, and enter a cave, you cannot leave the cave immediately after entering...
