Amiga Robocop game, rework.

[RoniWorlds]

Good Work !!! When do you plan your first clashes with your opponent?

We couldn't do parallax on the amiga 500. but. I wanted to try the copper bar effect. You can see the result in the video below.

You could 100% put a city skyline in the centre of that as you cross the road as a parallax.

You should. It won't take up much CPU at all. Use a sprite or bob. Nothing much happens in the arcade game at that point anyway, it's not like it's going to be taxing the engine.

woow , great view.

Doesn't look good with that small city. Looks like the city where Robocop walks is at an abrupt end, and you can see the next city just far far away. The space looks so empty and incomplete.

Rather no parallax/gradient and a city like in your "test 12" video.

One possible change might be to not have the rainbow continue outside of the graphics for the level. I've always found that a rather jarring look. But that's just my opinion naturally, the rainbow still looks nice.

Yeah, that has to do with using color#0 to do the gradient, which bleeds into the overscan area. You need to copperise a different colour and keep col#0 pure black. That's on OCS machines. ECS and AGA you can force overscan to be black regardless.

Now if we are tweaking i would do the gradient tighter with more blue on top and more cyan on bottom so to have the non-parallax background skyline in the middle

[saimon69]

AND i sent you game over and High Scores music, but work is not done

[seko]

In progress.

nice progress!

[rothers]

Anything new OP?

[Bren McGuire]

have to say, i am not a fan of the copper effect, makes it look less like the coinop and more like amiga shovelware. it feels really empty.,

i prefer a non parallax but filled background than an empty copperbar color thing. or maybe it needs a different copper bar, this looks too, how to say, wide, not refined enough

Copper would look better if reduced to the center imo

[seko]

Greetings everyone.
I'm in Cyprus for summer vacation so I couldn't be interested. I will definitely inform you about the work to be done after the summer vacation.

[saimon69]

So,let me give you some hints for having a finishable robocop game:
-implement in the engine stairs, multiple planes and vertical scroll already NOW so that you simply have the engine ready
- add some marker for enemies in the map so that they will appear; pre-script their behaviors, and same for boss events

[saimon69]

Ahiahiahi, Seko where art thou???

[rothers]

If he's abandoned it I'm tempted...
