Thanks, it is actually quite fun with friends (but then again...what isn´t? )
It should work fine on the Pandora single player (as with smartphones)...but maybe read an external joystick to allow for at least 2 players.

Meh, after seeing the laundry list of fantasy consoles on the itch.io Fantasy Console Game Jam page, I'm turned off of making my own fantasy console all over again. I dunno, how badly do you guys want it?

Keep in mind the limitations I've described in other posts in this thread. I basically want my fantasy console to be like a Tamagotchi or Dreamcast VMU with a higher resolution.

I really do wanna actually program instead of talking about it all day, but I need to find a project people are interested in.

I promise I will be interested in whatever you finish.
Once you get over that hurdle every subsequent project will become easier.

You need to do a project you're interested in, and not really think about anyone else. This is what's going to make or break your project.

I have been working on a Burger Time based game with more gravity action and 3 simultaneous single-computer players.
Sound is yet missing but everything else is pretty much done.

On the video, a couple friends are playing on the keyboard and joypad...I´m playing the green guy by my phone using a wifi joypad app.
Expect the green player to be constantly falling off platforms amongst other dumb stuff.

Really cool! What is it written in if you don't mind me asking?

i have yet to implement much (any) of the gameplay, but here's a teaser sprite animation sheet:


i figured writing a script to parse a png for the relevant joint data would be easier than coding them in by hand...

That is GLBasic http://www.glbasic.com/
Hopefully, it may also work on the Pyra.

Exactly this. Most of the stuff I do I don't share with anybody. For me I enjoy working on it, and the results for myself, although I doubt anyone else would care. Along the way I gain experience that helps me with stuff later. It is like a video game. I recently leveled up my Greenthumb skill. Still doesn't look like I will be getting any cucumbers (and pickles ) this year.


@ible, do I see air guitar?

 

[ible]

@rygD haha! it kinda looks like that. not intentionally, it's part of an over-the-top run animation.

I am now trying to settle on a scripting language for my fantasy console. I was never enthusiastic about Lua, because that's what all the other fantasy consoles use, and the less I rip them off, the better.

You guys say I should please myself, but I'm warning you, I'm pretty close to creating my own darn scripting language that noone else can make heads or tails of. Possibly something based on assembly for that authentic console feeling.

 

[ible]

in 16, my game editor, i have multiple scripting languages for each region (sprites, music, game unlocks/idle commands), that look like assembly (but are fairly well commented??).

I have numerous projects. But most of them are more physical.
The ones I finished are mostly related to firearms... not so sure how the Europeans in the room feel about that.

My fursuit was... a colab effort with my fiancée... who is in New York.

My stories are my on going project.

I have my 1958 bug. Here's a picture of the engine as she sits. It's a dark picture


But that's 2 Porsche 356 knecht aircleaners on a pair of solex kadron carbs on a custom aftermarket engine taken from a hobbyist aircraft, with a Porsche 356 br9 or 18 distributor in it.

I literally need to just get fuel line and a t fitting then I can start going through the fun of timing the car and adjusting valves. Normally I'd have my fiancée to help... but...

My biggest failure of an ongoing project is my life I feel.

@DrHAX , 1958 bug? Really nice! My friends here in Florianópolis produce, once per year, a 2 days event called Kombination which is a car festival directed to kombis and bugs (volks in general).
Kombis are the hippy vans. The event happened a couple weeks ago. We always show up to give a hand and because it is just awesome.
I will leave a couple edition teasers here. Owning a bug, you would have loved to take part, specially to show up the modded engine.

Project radish is a success

You guys say I should please myself, but I'm warning you, I'm pretty close to creating my own darn scripting language that noone else can make heads or tails of. Possibly something based on assembly for that authentic console feeling.

Then do it. I wrote an assembly style script language with a compiler and VM a long time ago, it was going to be used in a game project that never really happened. Now I'm working on embedding Lua, as it's a lot more flexible, but I'm looking more something more general these days.

The way I always look at these projects is the time and features ratio. Is there an existing project that does what I need, and can I implement it faster than it would take for me to develop on my own.

The thing with making your own script/programming language is that it's not just language design, but also all the tools to work with it (I guess depending how you want to implement it anyway). Compiler and VM (if you want to store binary versions of scripts), then a debugger and anything else to make life easy. If you're happy with investing time into those tools then why not

 

[DrHAX]

Yeah here is the front of it.


With this new motor.. it was picking up the front end in 2nd gear at stop signs with a small single carb.

This should be interesting to see how it handles since the cam is all out, distributor is all out, and the carbs were set up properly before I got them. It's going to be crazy.

 

[erico]

Looks rad!
No front bumpers? The single mono side mirror is wonderful.

 

[rygD]

@rygD haha! it kinda looks like that. not intentionally, it's part of an over-the-top run animation.

I vote that you intentionally add/implement an air guitar animation.

 

[T.T.]

That beetle is absolutely beautiful! One of these days I want to find a beetle with a crap engine, but a working transmission and solid body, stick a large brushless motor on it, and have myself an electric beetle.

The car came like that. It didn't have a mirror originally!!

It was a 1966 og mirror I stuck on. The car was built (customized) somewhere between 1988 and 1989 and stayed the same since then. I have only put in an original steering wheel and swapped out the motor. It has a punched original deck lid with Hot Rod style lourves.

I made a custom exhaust for it. The thing is louder than hell. Solid mount transmission mounts, so yeah it's a tank.

Need to get it up and running
