Creating games with Backbone - Step by Step for beginners! - Page 2

Here are some screenshots of my 3rd level. You can get into the doors by pressing space bar and get a treasure protected by "baddies".
Missing enemies in this level.

The overall look of the textures will probably change, they are tweaked all the time.

Nice, atmosphere of Nicky Boom mixed with Rick Dangerous

I got a little distracted with my new A-Max IV board trying to get it to work, so I made little progress, anyway...
Got another update, this time I used analog capture instead an emulator. I'm using composite out from A1200 and a Pioneer DVR.
I found some bugs that I need to take care of.

Enjoy.

Hello. I get the same error when Backbone try to create the game executable, ram disk or volume. I followed all the steps of the tutorial without any problem, but when i try to compile my game i get this message. I'm using Backbone with WinUAE, i tried it with ClassicWB, AmigaSys with different memory and chipset settings, same error. Same problem when i try to create the examples/demo included in the backbone distribution. Please help, and sorry for my poor english. Thanks in advance.

I cant even being to install backbone. Its on the HDD of my A1200 3.1 set up (in winuae)

If I click on the installer I get this message: Unable to open your tool 'installer'.

If I click on the Backbone icon I get this message: "Backbone has been unable to start Arexx. Therefore some features will be missing."

Not a good start.

Any advice?

Get Installer44.10.zip from http://kg.whdownload.com/kgwhd/files.php and put it in your C folder. Try to install Backbone again.

Thanx for that installer. It worked. Unlike installer 43. Now I have another problem. I tried following the instructions above to upgrade and im getting this message:
amiga error while moving code file aready exists

I know what this means but I cant seem to get around it. There is no installer in the upgrade folder and I cant replace the files manually. Pls help...

can you just do this:
click icon to remove, right click WB menu under icons, delete

Finally had some time working out bugs in the game and it is almost ready.

The name of the game is "Marco Gregorios Adventures to Unusual Places"

Here are some more screenshots.

Looking good

tolkien · 28 November 2013, 20:14

yeah! Looks very good!

Leandro Jardim · 30 November 2013, 02:03

I hate dithering, but the artwork of these games is really good, I love it. Please continue this good work.

I would love to have a ADF of these games when you guys finish them, complete with a installer script, NewIcons and a nice guide to read, too... To finish with a golden medal! But the game looks already good.

It's too big for ADF, few MBs already, so HD only, but it will come compressed with LHA. Just decompress to HD and play.

Could this be feasibly used to make a scrolling beat 'em up?

It's not meant for beat 'em ups, but that doesn't stop us from trying (and mostly failing) anyway! The problem is the reliance on only two types of attacks to kill enemies, either jumping on their heads or firing a projectile at them. If you attempt to simulate a punch or sword-slash for the attack you still need an object to shoot out from your character, and the collision detection is really bad when an enemy is too close and you keep firing straight through them.

If you want to see the best attempt at a scrolling beat 'em up made with Backbone, check out Ambermoon Arcade.
