LYNX DEVELOPMENT

[matashen]

Hello to all!

 

I actual write on an Lynxgame.

The next Game is already in the first steps.

 

A Preview to the new games are planed for the OFAM 13.09.08, an lokal Atarimeeting in Bavaria/Germany.

 

For the Games in Future i want make this poll to see what gamegenre you prefer.

 

Thanks to all who allready helped me develop for the Lynx.

 

Greetings Matthias

 

EDIT: Cardgames added

In my opinion Lynx needs a great shoot em up (in R-Type style), a great Jump 'n run (Super mario bros) and a great soccer game.

 

I would like to have a new final and complete version of Centipede, and some classic Atari games never released (Crystal castle, 720 for ex.) Also I think a game like Operation wolf could run very well on Lynx.

please make your vote.

Can't wait to hear more about this game!

 

 

About this vote. ANY new Lynx game is a blessing! But since you ask id say a RPG or a strategy war game!

 

Edit: I voted Hack 'n Slay RPG

What! No cardgames in the list. Well, klondike is almost playable now.

 

I hope to release a freeware solitare rom soon with the same games that come bundled with Windows.

That is klondike, freecell and spider.

I guess it can be included into the boardgame sub-category.

 

It's great to see that new games are coming

[matashen]

Oh Sorry, i forgot the Cradgames....

... by the way. Whats about your Stardreamer - is it on ice or is it a dead project ?

Yeah i say all about the game you should know before OFAM

Gametimeline:

NextGame - in work - Release planed for X-Mas

Than a Game - First Infos later - Release next Year

after that a game that causes of this poll-result :-)

 

Next Infos and Preview after OFAM :-)

 

I have mass of ideas, but im not the fan of port only all great classic games from VCS.

I prefer to make unique storie or close some holes in the genres.

The first game is not my own story but i have to learn a lot about Lynx coding. I do it never before.

 

I cant promise that each high-voted genre would get an game from me, but for all developer its nice to see in what you are interested and so maybe make such a game.

I got stuck with the 3D bugs in tha assembler math. That is kind of silly as I am working with 3D OpenGL currently.

 

I have to

 

a) find the bugs in the 3D library and fix them

 

or

 

b) port a C-code 3D library to the Lynx

 

The problem is really that the ships warp over at some random places and the camera viewport cannot distinguish between positive and negative distances.

 

But no. It is not a dead project. It has a storyline, an adventure language and some flying engine.

 

But I really need a good physics engine for all the cool special missions I had in mind (like black holes).

 

I also have a PID controller for giving properties to the ships (heavy fighter, light spacecraft...)

BALLBLAZER! PLEASE!

[+LS650]

I would be happy to see ANY new game!

 

Personally I would recommend looking at where the Lynx collection is lacking. An RPG would be good. Another possibility would be some kind of turn-based strategy game. Lately I've been playing Military Madness for the TurboGrafx, and that is a great game - think "Advance Wars Lite".

 

I would also like to see a space combat game like Star Raiders, but I have to admit the flight sim role is well-filled with Warbirds, Steel Talon, Blue Lightning, etc.

Have you asked sage, maybe he can help - he is a great coder...

No, I think I can handle this problem myself. It is just that I have too many nice things going on at the same time.

 

Klondike is now playable

Stardreamer is waiting for time to fix math bugs.

Hero Quest still waits for time to do isometric aminated graphics.

The Black Pearl prototype is sitting at my desk and I just wait for time to sit down and solder the missing wires.

 

And then I am completely absorbed by my work.

 

Oh, and my domain dna.fi may finally be lost to the big teleoperator DNA Finland after years of struggles.

This means that my email account will also be gone when that happens.

 

So I am gradually falling back on my other domain sipo.fi

Fine to hear that you finished klondike.

If you make Heroquest for the Lynx i dont have to do this :-)

Think Stardreamer is the "MostWanted" development you have on your Harddisk :-)

 

When i look at the Poll i see that JumpnRuns are needed.

 

Some Coder here who wants to make this :-)

I coded many gamedesigns but never made JumpnRuns.

And in the Homebrewscene i see allready some Demos about Knightmare Super Mario and others.

Whats about this - the coder give up..... ????

Tnx

 

Karri, i also have encoutered some problem in 3d calculation, which i could not figure out why it happens.

Even worse, its different between emulation and real hardware.

So maybe -> Email

 

 

Tschau,

I voted jump n' run. A Zool game or clone would be absolutely delicious on the Lynx.

[kamakazi]

It's about time the Lynx got some much needed attention. I definately plan to support this console once I get the hang of the 7800 (I'm using actual Atari programming hardware...somewhat). And since the same computer can be used for both, why not do it for both is how I look at it.

 

Good luck with your game...can't wait!!

 

Star Raiders voted!! Maybe even an ST port?

[roland p]

I would like to see a game like Lethal Weapon 3 on the amiga. So I voted for 'Shoot 'm up'

[matashen]

*push*

 

one more who want choose....

[jaguar_fan]

One of each would be nice!!

 

[matashen]

One of each would be nice!!

 

 

No Problem, you can start coding...

 

let us know when you fin.
