Xymati

Eponasoft is handling the PC Engine port but it has been on standby for awhile now due to other things getting in the way.

That's great news! Well...other than the standby part.

This is the first that I've heard of this.  It looks great!  Hopefully if the 'press run' of Meteor Blaster DX goes through, then some funding could be put into this game.

I'll repeat myself from earlier in the thread: I will gladly wait years to see a PCE port/version.

bt garner and company were going to finish Xymati as a PC game?

Old_Rover has been busy with Real Life (in addition to MSR, Lucretia, etc.)


The sad thing is that bt garner didn't want to finish it up as a PCE game

Thankfully, though, someone will finish the PCE version.

If nobody else does it, I'll do it. sure, it'll be ready in two decades (2034!), but IT WILL HAPPEN.

Or not.

The PCE dev scene is in a minor lull right now. Devs have other stuff going on right now, though there's some really great under-the-hood stuff occurring. I think there's also stuff here and there that's under the radar. But Xymati can't be finished on the PCE until it's finished on the PC.

It's still alive, trust me.  As is PC-Gunjin.  Most of the graphics are finished, it just needs programmed (mostly in HuC6280 ASM).  Any takers? 

I've been thinking a free-to-download Caravan/Time Attack stage might be a good way to get a good portion of the game engine programmed and give people a taste of what the game will be like... hmm.

Thoughts?

Now your talking! A 2m time attack would be awesome. I only know graphic design or i'd be willing to help

That's not a bad idea, I like the sound of that!  Same goes with PC Gunjin(a caravan mode), as I have much more interest in it thanks to the lack of run n' guns on the Turbo.

need a programmer for both or pc-gunjin ??

i'am interested, but i have too many projects :-( ..
We can form a team for this .

Two genres the PCE is really weak on are Contra-style run 'n guns and beat 'em ups. Some people say it's weak on fighters, but with the ACD, I don't entirely agree given when fighters starting becoming popular.

Both.  And everybody seems to have too many projects.  :/

Agreed.  The PCE/TG-16 basically has zero platforming run-n-guns or X+Y movement beat-em-ups worth a damn.  Ninja Spirit is more or less a 1p run-n-gun with a feudal Japanese theme, and it's an awesome game, but I think people crave a traditional 2p post-apocalyptic run-n-gun, a la Contra.  Riot Zone is mediocre, at best, and Golden Axe for the PCE CD is a joke.  And it's bad joke, at that.

Yes it's true :-(,but is not frozen utopia who's supposed to code xymati

I suppose Rover is too busy too ..
