Hypernova Blast
« on: June 29, 2014, 08:09:51 AM »
Since the game didn't have a dedicated thread in the dev section, I created this one to repost a recent update from Mindrec's site:

Quote
17 June, 2014
Hypernova Blast is in final beta testing! HNB is the latest PCEngine game from MindRec, and is slated for a release in the Aug-Sept timeframe.


Can't wait to see what the final product of Mindrec's second PCE shooter with "blast" in the title looks like. :)

We're quickly heading towards the PCE having more published hombrew shooters than the SNES has for commercial releases. :P

He's uploaded a few other videos too.  They're a bit old, but it doesn't look much different today.  :mrgreen:

not that bad, especially the music is kinda cool. but nothing a simple NES could have handled.

why not finally bringing Xymanti to PCE life???

We are never going to forgot our lost PCE gem, Xylomantle.

I thought Old_Rover was working on it, but he's been super-busy, plus real life issues...

I wonder this too (Where is PC Gunjin, mostly).


I think the reality of it is though, nobody has the time to do games like that in a manner that will see them released in any sane time frame.

The longer you're stuck working on stuff, the more boring it can get.

Simple pre-crash style arcade games are simple enough that you don't get burned out on them.

Though, it's easy to get burned out on those too... (See: Atlantean!, lol)


While I wish Hypernova Blast wasn't another horizontal defender-like game for variety's sake (There's 4 horizontal shooter homebrews all in the works right now! -_-;  lol), I will still happily grab it and play it because it's like Novablast on Coleco/Intellivision, and that shit was awesome.

and now I have even less reason to drag those pieces of shit out and hook them up, so this is OK in my book, lol.
