Awesome work!!!

Looks awesome! Thank you for commenting in my thread about it too! I'll prob let that one drop off and keep anything to here now

Hey all, wanted to drop a long overdue video update. Life etc has been blocking development, but we do continue at a slower pace until some chance for a holiday.

Watch it in 720p/50fps if it look janky.
Video Update: [ Show youtube player ]

The boss graphics you see here ARE placeholder. Ripped from arcade title while Invent works on our own concept and artwork.

PLACEHOLDER ART WARNING

You get a bit of a look at the workflow for building out more complex behaviours, and we have worked on lots of optimisations and features.

A few things that come to mind, CD32 control support using 4 buttons for those with them. 2 button will be essential to play, but full benefit if you have 4. Fixed a lot of bugs with display, and massively improved clipping, collision and general data pipeline. Have been experimenting more with using copper to help performance. Lots of bugs fixed… always.

Hope you enjoy, please subscribe if you enjoy, it really helps the motivation tanks.

looks amazing, once again!

For the cronicle, that boss placeholder graphics is from Aero Blasters, one of the inspirators of Powder

Daishi · 28 February 2023, 19:50

The sense of speed and the playfield size is very impressive.

Spot on, Powder very underrated, under referenced. Did it get a full release? Not even sure. We might have to do a powder tribute level in Boss Machine.

Imagine what you could do with fast ram on top of this marvel

Yup, I liked Powder a lot as well. Quite harder than it should've been, but very nice pixel art, animations and sound.

Hi Everyone,

Here are a few visual updates on some Boss designs if you have missed it via other social channels, noticed I hadn't posted here for a while and you all deserve an update

Latest design is "Death Stormer" - see attachment.
A quick preview on Dan's youtube here [ Show youtube player ]

I do have an open post on my blog of a few more bad guys

Lot's of great pixel art here. I really admire tons of work that went into creating this.
Keep the great job!

Graphics look great!

Might be a little picky (sorry) but the patreon page has image of the homing bullet. On this, at center of the page it what looks like 'hands'; the left of these (where ball is being released) seems to be 2 finger tips but the proximal digit is disconnected so it looks like the finger is either attached to the neighbouring one or floating?
