RESHOOT R in development - Page 7

buzzybee · 09 June 2018, 22:30

Important milestone today: RESHOOT R debuted on a real Amiga CD32-console today.

Amiga distributor APC & TCP invited to show the game at their booth at the Retrobörse event held in Rosenheim – one of South Germanys biggest meets and greets for gamers and collectors alike.
I decided to show the game on a CD32, not on some emulated powermachine or superexpanded Amiga, which has nothing in common with the original machines from the early 1990s. I had to go through some intense days of coding and debugging before the show. Just one week ago, the game needed just a bit too much memory; just two days ago, it needed an 68030-cpu or better. After finding and killing the cause (for experts: move.w#$2000,sr) it finally ran on a CD32 emulation – but did not seem to boot on the original machine. Or so I thought.

Only this morning, just a couple of hours before the public premiere of RESHOOT R on CD32, I burned ISO-files on several blank media CD-R discs. And so learned that the CD32 console is very picky and only accepts a handful of CD-R types. Sony CD-R, to be exact.

It was a pleasure to watch people not only play RESHOOT R, but enjoy it. Everyone who had a go, stuck to the game, tried to beat the highscore, obviously glued by that very important "just one more go" feeling that marks a well designed game. All those small and big modifications I implemented the past months, based on feedback at the gamescom and Amiga32 show, seem to work: Collission detection, extra weapons and so on.

Thanks to all my supporters, and all people testplaying the game. Without you RESHOOT R would not be the same!

Sounds great man, well done!
Looking forward to playing it on real hardware myself.

Great news Richard, glad you got it running on the CD32, albeit with some issues! I didnt find my CD32 to be picky with CD-R media, my Neo-Geo CD was very picky though, i guess media varies alot.

But anyway, really looking forward to trying this out!

My CD32 was picky, then I got a new CD burner drive and it was way less picky.

There are room for more people !

Hi Overflow, thanks for your support. I wish more people would realise how much time and effort is needed to put together a game like RESHOOT R for a retro platform, and would appreciate by spending a few euros per month.

It´s people like you who keep the artists and creators motivation high, which will therefore result in a finished game that anyone can enjoy.

I'll support you, I just don't do Paetron. Unfortunately I think others are simlar in their thinking...

If you get a pre-order page up I'll throw money your way immediately

thairacerjp · 13 June 2018, 20:21

Hi Richard, you have a new Patreon support

, your game development , gameplay is more and more delight, I will keep a eye on it !
your right, burning for the CD32 is very dependent of the CD burner and speed.
keep the good work and keep Alive Amiga Spirit.
cheers.

VERBATIM CDR WORKS GREAT TO !

Yep

mcgeezer · 13 June 2018, 21:07

Excellent work Richard, and thanks for the info on the CD32 with the Sony CDR's as my next project will only run on that platform.

Keep it up, I will happily buy your game once completed!

buzzybee · 14 June 2018, 03:17

@thairacerjp: I´ve seen your addition to my Patreon campaign and really, really appreciate! Thank you!

@mcgeezer: Good Luck with your project! Any more info bits you may share already? Regarding the "picky CD32": I burned my discs on a 2015-Macbook, this might by important for a successful procedure too.

Not started coding anything solid yet but getting the shell of a game idea ready over the next couple of months is what I'm doing. Though I can say I'm thinking along the lines of a mesh between Turrican and Impossible Mission - two games I love.

thairacerjp · 28 July 2018, 22:08

A little UP ! for support, the game working nice on PS-VITA via uae4all and classic workbench

, can't wait the finished game !
playing in emulation is good cause we could have save state ! cause your game is HARD

but so GOOD

keep the good work !

EDIT MY VIDEO HAVE BEEN DELETED ??

EDIT 2 MY VIDEO IS COMING BACK AH AH ??

buzzybee · 29 July 2018, 02:57

Thanks for your kind words. Suppose you mean the demo – the video link does not work though. Would love to see RESHOOT R on the PS Vita!

thairacerjp · 29 July 2018, 10:13

I've been disappointed cause youtube began to upset me, not it turn to be a merchandising website..... so I I've uploaded to Vimeo , sorry for the delay !
yeah ! it's the demo from Christmas , thanks for your work Richard.

DamienD · 29 July 2018, 11:11

Where did you find the demo of Reshoot R? Would be nice to try

thairacerjp · 29 July 2018, 11:21

hi DamienD , i found on Earok christmass cd 2017 :
http://www.indieretronews.com/2017/1...ecial.html?m=1

Enjoy !

DamienD · 29 July 2018, 13:37

Thanks thairacerjp, should have mentioned earlier that I'd already found it straight after my post

...but to save people having to download a 303.5MB file for use only on an Amiga CD32 just to play this demo; I've done the following:

Downloaded the above.
Taken off the ReshootR folder / files only.
Created an icon / script to launch the game.
Produced an .LHA archive.

A1200 users can now test this out and just need to extract the archive to their hard drives

"ReshootR_demo.lha" is now in The Zone!

Thanks! I've been itching to try this
