Title: Another PCE Project Dies
Post by: sunteam_paul on May 11, 2010, 08:44:55 AM: Alas, along with my previous effort, the PC Engine Quiz game, my latest project - a Space Harrier clone with a PCE theme now has also died due to the programmer bailing because of real life commitments and general apathy. I have since vowed never to trust another programmer again :P

I thought I'd post a few images here to show how I was getting on with the project. I'll probably do a more comprehensive section on my Sunteam site at a later date.

These are some examples of how I was redrawing the sprites in a higher resolution.

Here are a few examples of background mock-ups.

Here is a Keith Courage, sort of clone, I started a while ago.

First part is just a generic sprite, at about 45 seconds it goes to the Keith Sprite & Lava level. C++ & SDL

Post by: sunteam_paul on July 10, 2010, 08:48:21 PM: It was being done in Game Maker for PC. The initial builds were quite promising, with the ground lines looking bang on and the horizon shifting just like the arcade.

I always thought there should be a "Keith Courage in Beta Zones" game.
