No need to be mean, just look at those nice directory structures and vertical blits. The game (engine) is almost done!

The guy has talent but Metal Slug on Amiga is just an awful idea.

Not necessarily....

Metal Slug clone on Amiga is great idea as long as You keep in mind Amiga hardware

Tigerskunk · 11 December 2019, 15:20

Well, if it's a nice little demo in the end, I will be happy as well..
And we can have lots of conversation about it..

Retro1234 · 11 December 2019, 16:08

Fair enough

sandruzzo · 11 December 2019, 17:09

Any help will be appreciate. That's way I've said: base engine, since doing Metal Slug for Amiga, need a solid Game design bulit around it

Hewitson · 12 December 2019, 08:33

If the game design is going to be anything other than a replica of the Neo Geo or GBA Metal Slug games, then it's not Metal Slug and doesn't deserve to be called that.

Also, I believe Metal Slug games are still sold. This one will need to be released anonymously, if ever finished.

Tigerskunk · 12 December 2019, 08:40

Expect a small demo which shows how many BOBs can be drawn, and some basic running around through a scrolling level.

It's just some fun exercise, using Metal Slug assets and looking how far we can replicate this on an old Amiga.

Any problem with that? How many people did Metal Slug? See the picture?

No, I don't have a problem with that. That's exactly why I wrote it.

Agreed with Steril707, and would follow his advice, in your place.
Just start simple, and I am sure, lots of great coders here will help you with any issues you encounter and/or propose some constructive ideas.

I guess, they just want to see you really get started (so, a little bit more then amazing directory structure and few screenshots).

I'll keep an eye on this thread, and looking forward for updates.
Good Luck!

Doing My best to have as much as we can...

rare_j · 13 December 2019, 10:24

Good on you mate. Let’s see a demo of some stuff moving around and go from there.

sandruzzo · 13 December 2019, 12:33

@rare_j

My idea is to do more: a small playable level

Retro1234 · 13 December 2019, 18:05

iirc the Neo Geo used Tiles to make up it sprites or any graphics and iirc large parts of the Background explode or fall down etc.

The NeoGeo didn't have any "tiles"... everything was made from sprites, even the backgrounds & foreground scrolling layers.

Retro1234 · 13 December 2019, 20:53

Ok it was the other way round and large parts on the background move.

Retro1234 · 13 December 2019, 20:58

and the "Sprites" are made of Tiles, 16x16 pixels

Under some assumptions, I think we can add destructible background
