Atlantean: Deep Blue's Sister!

[esteban]

I think it would be funny if the Atlanteans went splat when falling from too high a height. Then again, I'm easily amused by things that go splat.

They wouldn't go splat. They are underwater.

That's why they exprode!

Give EAB* a chance. Seriously.




*Exploding Atlantean Babies

[Samurai Ghost]

Man, love that music!!! I want the 20-minute megamix so I can listen to it on the freeway.

As far as the babies go, would it be possible to put Atlantean bases along the seafloor where you could drop the babies off for extra points a la Choplifter? You already have some structures in the background which you could use. I think that would add an interesting gameplay element and would give the player some satisfying resolution rather than having the babies just sitting on the floor like so many bags of blood.

Fixed that for you.

I think they should yell "Bonus" when you save them....

Seriously, it's looking great!

It would be cool if you could mimic talking underwater.  like a simple "Thanks" or "Arigato"

I looked for a youtube vid of the effect I was thinking, this was one of the cooler sounding clips, but maybe you could pull off something clearer. 

Maybe they could make some bubbles when they talk too (assuming they have lungs and not gills)  - anatomy lesson for Atlanteans needed.

I'd love to do the whole sampled-talking-underwater thing, but it'd be a royal pain in the dick. 

So, here a few things that are finalized here:

1) No 6-button support.   Sorry to the 7 crab-handed people that want to play Atlantean all goony.   It's not playable with 6 buttons anyways.  Trying to reverse is disorienting and sucks.

Ok, that's it actually.


I don't think I will be posting a playable beta of the game.  Just footage for everyone to touch themselves to.

Why

Using the PSG's direct sampling mode interrupts the MML player stuff, so you have to do magic and trickery to get it to work.

For sf2 capcom don't use magic  
i think this should be a problem if you are using all the voices for psg musics ..
I am using a 2 channels sample player for chuck no-rice, and it's close to be smooth (my HSYNC interrupts are delayed) in 1,76 mhz CPU mode ..

SF2 and your game aren't using Squirrel and the built in PSG BIOS stuff...

No, you 're right,but i will try to use both for my next project .
I thing it's possible, without too many cpu usage .

[Arkhan]

The problem isn't the CPU usage.   It's the synchronization of things.


The PSG Player expects things to come in like an assembly line.   If you go changing the channel to samples, start shooting stuff out, and then flip back, everything will fall out of sync with itself.

Ark, you should get some of these made up for promo....  I want one in each color!
