Release Gravedigger

[erico]

Of course I´m not "overdoing" anything... these gfx are, gasp cough, very important to the gameplay mood.

 

[Eight Bit]

Impressive! keep it up!

 

[Linux-SWAT]

Blender ?

I must admit, I really like the way you've built this up. I'm wondering if I should try that approach, and see if that helps me get any further into finishing a game

Lightwave 3d.

You mean 3d to cut corners on 2d?

No, I mean taking an old game published in a book (I have a Commodore 64 Games book), and bringing it to a modern platform

 

[erico]

A book game is a neat choice. You can also use ancient computer games for that, stuff like trs 80 or zx81 and before.

I managed to hurt my right hand so keeping with the art is a bit difficult, I will keep with the current for now and look into it later.
Added score and fixed balancing. Should be almost ready.

I think im done with a pc version 1.0 am doing an itchio page for that and then concentrate on pandora build with correct controls and proper pnd. Now with the news of Pyras running in the wield I wonder if the executable would work with it too. I think it would work out.

 

[pmprog]

Be sure to post the itch.io link

 

[erico]

I got the itchio page and extras done, here is the page:

Grave Digger Ex by FUED

A stiff turn-based dance with the undead!

ericomont.itch.io

here is a trailer:

here is a gameplay vid:

pc win only so far, but I think that is done.
I will be looking into the pandora port this week now.

heck, at least coding is ok with a broken hand, art and video sure takes 10x more time and the results sucks.
Still, we have to push forward the way we can

will bring some itchio keys here soon, pandora will be free and so will pyra if I can.
this is a simple game, I should also set pc free in a few month (more than 2).

see you soon.

Nice, fyi the word in english is cemetery, last time I checked at least. And the verb is 'break', your brakes are what you use to slow your current vehicle.

 

[erico]

Thanks. Will take a look. The sematary is because of Ramones though.
edit: all car brakes fixed , page and video, thank for noting @levi

So here I hope is the final pandora version, not pnd yet as I would like to be sure all is fine before doing so.
It is the same executable like I shared a few pages ago, it should have the A/B buttons mapped to home/pg down.

Please let me know if all is fine.

Also...don´t laugh, but I´m the kind of person who would plug a k7 player to a win-pc audio in, load a trs-80 color tape game, open notepad, type CLOADM and expect everything to work fine
What I mean is, ain´t Pandora ARM 32bit with a linux going?
The Pyra is also the same, right?

So, shouldn´t this executable work on the Pyra too? I think it needs SDL or maybe GLES.
If I´m not talking crap, could some of the prepreorders with the prototype test it out for me please?
If it works, I can adjust resolution and controls for that too.

Cheers!

edit: beta deleted as the game is already released on the repo, check first post.

I think the floating point library calling conventions differ between the Pandora and the Pyra, in that the Pandora is softfp and the pyra hard iirc. Given your software comes from 8 bit machine, maybe it doesn't call many floating point operations if any at all in fact, so you might be alright, but that's the main incompatibility as far as I understand it I think.

 

[erico]

Now that confused me, the game came from glbasic compiling c++ for 32bit machines. I don´t know how it converts code to the Pandora though.
Last version was working fine with the Panda least the controls were wrongly mapped and the game was still in early stage.
This last upload should work flawless on the Pandora.

 

[levi]

As long as that C++ doesn't contain any floats or doubles, you should be golden, as I understand it.

float is not a huge issue. double are for sure.

 

[erico]

Tell you the truth I know nothing about it and the c++ conversion glbasic does, let alone how it can compile to the Pandora.

Still. That info seems to be important if the glbasic team wants to add support to the Pyra, and I sure will be asking about.

If I had a prototype, I would try to run the executable but more important for me is to know if that last Pandora compile works so I can start doing its PND

 

[erico]

Someone up to help me test the last pandora exe version?
