Surely you mean "stunned" as opposed to "stoned"?

your last video was captured on an ecs A500. So does the above mean that it's no longer an ecs game? Or do you provide two intros?

Wow amazing!
Would this run better on an A1200? Seems to lag quite a bit here.

The Intro+Game video was recorded from UAE with a standard A1200+HDD config (as close as i can set to a real HW). A500 is a bit slower of course, but the framerate is pretty good at the moment (except a few bug, like lagging and stayng at constant framerate).
The current config also needs 1mb of chipram that we recently decided to set to 2MB.

From now on the game itself need 2 mb of chipram (That is why we mentioned ECS). but it is only becouse of the amount of the gfx&sfx in it. The main engine itself (that is written in AMOS) only need a standard A500(OCS).
The "final" version there will be free for everyone (sourcecode+map editor, the hole thing). When someone want to make a new game and use it as an "engine", than you can do it even for OCS, just stay under that limitation.

The Intro is a whole different thing. We using Roy Schneider HamPlayer. The result/quality depends on the hardwere (chipset&hdd speed..), but it is capable of playing "acceptable"

HAM8 videos even on A500.

Yes! Sorry! HAM6!

Etze · 16 January 2020, 08:50

That's why I was asking. So the intro above is HAM6?

Btw: How did you create the intro? It's awesome. Also the game looks very promising, of course!

It's not a classic frame by frame render. I have a lot of 3d models myself (Buildings, LEM, Astronauts, Ufo's, aliens...) from previous games and concepts. (And Unitys asset store offers a lots of free assets as well, example the music and the gun i use in the scene). The intro is composed (with all voices and music in place) and rendered realtime using UNITY3D. Basically it is one realtime scene recorded from a modern game engine. It needed a few cut here and there becouse of the transitions, but that was it.

gyagyagyerek · 16 January 2020, 14:38

The original idea (for the game) was to render everything from the main characters to the background tiles, but that would be almost impossible because of the tile (32x32) and (16) color limitation where the games can run "smooth".

saimon69 · 16 January 2020, 17:57

Well if you need some extra music let me know as usual ^^

Predseda · 27 March 2020, 08:47

Noticed your [ Show youtube player ]. Great, thank you!

viddi · 27 March 2020, 09:12

Looks great!!
Fantastic work so far.

Havie · 27 March 2020, 18:26

As a Blitz person I have to say you are doing amazing things on Amos (loved Amos before I got Blitz). If you pull this off then you have set a whole new bar and people will never look at Amos games the same way!

Keep it going - wow, wow and treble wow!

MisthaLu · 28 April 2020, 07:12

This forum needs one of them fancy modern "Like" buttons. :-)

invent · 28 April 2020, 10:16

Agreed, MisthaLu, often I visit but don't want to add potential dribble and still show support

love seeing all the extra info about the game dev by the way

Predseda · 11 June 2020, 22:44

Apologize my impatience, but is there any progress in this super promising game?

gyagyagyerek · 15 June 2020, 14:21

Hi,

No problem, just slowdowns!

The Project (Horizon) is not abandoned!
The code and the level tiles has been restructured a few times.
We try to make a playable .ADF (with a demostage) soon that will be posted here on the forum!

For the meantime there are a few shots from other levels.

Good to hear that. I hope You will finish it. I would love to play it

Predseda · 15 June 2020, 14:28

What a nice magazine! Shame it is not English.

Those screenshots look really nice, looking forward to play the demo.

gyagyagyerek · 15 June 2020, 23:42

Hi,

As promised here are the links to a little demo we put together. It is only one demo stage, no level-editor or source attached yet (and no intro becouse of the filesize

).

ADF version (with no music):

HDD version (with music):
