Last-Out - A Z-Out Remake

Aligarion · 10 June 2009, 09:08

Hi,

After Blazing Wings, this is Last-Out my second project.

Last-Out is a PC remake of Z-Out made with Game Maker.

I have already remade the three first stages and a new version (0.4.2) has just been released three days ago :

- The frame rate of the game is now 60 FPS.
- Level 3 playable.
- 7 crystal-made paralaxes for the background of level 3.
- Press J+K on the title screen to toggle the Amiga difficulty mode.

Enjoy !

Nice one Aligarion

Looks really close to the original. Do you plan to include custom levels later? Will give this a closer look when I'm back home

Cool, thanks

well, those crystals with "bubbles" looked not so awesome after filtering, I think you should use same resolution as in Amiga game but increase framerate

Looking good! Retro-remakers ftw!

Thanks.

Yeah, I know and I think the next levels won't be filtered at all, only scaled 2x.

The framerate is already 60 FPS... isn't it enough ? I think it is.

more is overkill

But you have those people with very special eyes that can see the difference between 60FPS and 100FPS.

Have a nice play !

That's very good, I got killed on level 1 as its been a while since I played on my laptop (well that's my excuse

)

The hard part was finding the link in the wordpress page which comes after "télécharger la" (version béta 0.5.4 de Last-Out) it would be easier to find if the link was in BOLD TEXT for old fogies like myself

Thanks for sharing this with us, its something that I will play with again and again

Wow, I remember play-testing an old version of this many, many years ago, I even suggested you a few changes, and how to make the game run at a better framerate under GameMaker .

Are you still using GameMaker for this? An updated version, I hope?

Huge glitches in sound on my Win10 box - Amiga modules work fine, but the MP3s send the CPU requirements through the roof and end up with very jerky motion.

This is on a 2.7GHz AMD A8 (8GB RAM) btw.

Cheers that's a lot easier to find now

I should have mentioned that I am using windows 7 32 bit and my laptop is a Samsung R509, playing with no problems at all so far
