PC Engine Retrocade & Aetherbyte updates
« on: December 28, 2009, 03:34:53 PM »

Here is a nice teaser 5 player light cycle thing.   You'll need at least two people to test it out.

Its pretty crude, its pretty clunky, and not too much work went into the graphics.  It WAS originally just white lines flying about the screen.  The tron knockoff was just a nice added bonus!

but heres the important part:

5 player input works! (We hope).   If anyone notices any problems, alert me please :)  Its kind of hard to test 5 player stuff.  I await some feedback.

Why 5 player stuff you say?  Whats so important about this?

Insanity Deathmatch, that is why!  Who doesn't want to have yourself plus 4 others running around the screen shooting at each other?! 

in other news the Joustaroo ideas are meshing out well and will work great with the early prototype we've had put together.

and of course, everything else is meshing out as well!

Good to hear :)

And the 5-player support is very, very neat.

well, This little demo isn't much.  It's essentially just a 5-player input test program, not a full on piece of entertainment. :)

I think though that it will be worth it to polish it up and mold it into a game.  As crude of a tech demo as it is, its still pretty cool.

ATTENTION.

I need some able bodied soldiers to test out a demo.  It will require considerable play time, and needs to be recorded in Ootake or what have you so that we can watch it.  Especially because there is a bug that we can't duplicate consistently. 

So, if you want to help out: email Aetherbyte@gmail.com

PS: Its a pacman demo, so if you hate pac man.......

once this is squish-squased, oh man.  New graphics, and all that excitement.

Have to admit, that sounds like one of the coolest most fun ideas I've ever heard.

In the vs. pac man games for the DS and Gamecube/GBA, they deal with this by not letting the ghosts see the full screen, dunno how that would work on a TV though.

How about partially disabled controls so they can't reverse course and can only make left or right hand turns?  Or pepper spray; whichever is easier.
