Krogharr - development thread of a new OCS fighting game

[nikosidis]

Tigerskunk: Would be cool with some blood when the heads come off. Could at least be as an option to be child friendly

Looking good.

Id love to see some blood as well, but i can live without it ;-).

Will this come out boxed or is it digital only?

The problem with the blood is, that I am already using up all of my colors in that layer.
I could do grey blood, but then people would complain about that, so I think then I'd rather keep it as it is..

Game will come out digitally first in late November, early December. But Poly.Play is already working on a boxed version.

My dream would be for having a bottle of Krogharr beer in the special edition, but I guess that would pose a problem for sending this via mail.

Maybe the purple could be dithered with one or more colors to get a reddish one..

The purple is only there while that mid boss is shown.

Is this OCS/ECS or AGA?

[TCD]

512k/512k sounds a lot like OCS/ECS

[Tigerskunk]

Yep, OCS.

Indeed, if it can not be red, do not include it.


Maybe you would double the sales, if you included a special edition beer .

I love this visual style of Amiga games, looks incredible, will definitely be a first day purchase, great work!

Its a strange alien world so of course the blood is green...

That's a very good point

[jurassicman]

+1 for green blood!

Krogharr fights against Predators

[Tigerskunk]

Unfortunately the green you see when the midboss is on the screen is also not available any other time in that level.

Believe me, if there was any chance to include red blood without the game looking significantly worse because of it, I'd have buckets of it splattering on the screen in every possible direction.

Okay, we let you off the hook. This time

[Predseda]

Black is the new red

Looking awesome, as usual! I'm looking forward to hear the sound and music. Your combination of artistic and coding talent always impresses me!

Can you give some technical details? Is it dual playfield 3+3 planes? This would explain the colour limitations. Is the main character a sprite (how many)? Maybe you could also use sprites for the blood?

[lionagony]

Great to see so much interest in this, it's already your most watched Youtube video ever with over 3k views in just 3 days, that's awesome. Have you thought about wrapping it in AROS Roms and maybe trying to sell it on Steam and/or GOG?
