About Me
Hello!
Here's some infos about me & my work on Ataris.
I'm spare-head-three of ST/Falcon group Reservoir Gods, ST/Falcon/Jaguar group Reboot of Jagware and now Jaguar dev team U-235! 
YAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!
We founded Reservoir Gods in 1994 as an Atari Falcon game making group. The team consisted of myself, coder Mr Pink & his sister & fellow gfxer Ripley (Nice Guy Eddie). Before this I'd worked for many little groups on the ST, mostly making title pictures, fonts and that kind of thing for disk mags, cracks, menu disks & bits of demos/intros.
Over the years we gained a few members, some of which remained pretty inactive. Others such as our fantastic musician & my great friend, MSG and Neo (coder/gfxer) have been every bit as active as the original core group. We produced many games & utils for the Falcon, later switching our attentions to the ST/STe on occasion & moved from 100% assembler prods to C + GodLib.
As a group, our productions are up in the hundreds taking into account all games, utils, emulators & disk magazines released. Some of our more popular game releases include:
Tautology, Tautology II, Double Bobble 2000, Skyfall, Static, Bugger!, Chu Chu Rocket!, GodPey, SuperFly / SantaFly and Clogged Up. Double Bobble & Chu Chu Rocket! are our most famous releases, with the latter seeing our work talked about, reviewed & discussed in many gaming circles far from our little atari scene. GodPey (our take on gaming genius Gunpei Yokoi's wonderful GunPey from the Wonderswan) remains my personal favourite game of ours, yet the gfx work there could have been so much better. I hope to one day work on a Falcon enhanced version and possibly one for the Jaguar. The original remains my most loved handheld game of all time, just beating Tetris/GB.
When the group went into a period of release-hibernation I occasionally felt the need to work on some things and so produced AtariScne Card Battle EX Plus Alpha and Bob Fossil's Sudokuniverse - not quite up to RG standards technically, but decent & loved for their own reasons. I later worked on a multi-genre title (rhythm action/point&click adventure/text adventure/QTE/typing of the dead/inane matchstick puzzle-em-up) that remains unfinished, mainly due to my current work with Reboot.
Other productions I have worked on include Adder with Tat of Avena, GodBoy (Falcon GameBoy Emulation), GodLeNES (Falcon NES Emulation), Maggie (various issues after 17), Grimey (ST Demo), Are You Sitting Comfortably?(Falcon Intro), Meikever / Junebug with Earx & MSG (ST 96ktro), Mind Rewind (STe Demo), Hallucinations (ST Demo), Jazz Club (asciitro), ST 20 years demo screen (with Damo), GodPaint (Falcon drawing package), Clix (unreleased & slightly unfinished Sega Swirl game for ST) and the current Atari Jaguar productions with Reboot: SuperFly DX, Project One, Beebris Trubute, Beebris SE, ULS and ?!?! I've also done my fair share of chip, mod & gtk musics, mainly just for fun.
SuperFly DX - another free game for the Jaguar from Reboot.
I've also been working with GroovyBee a little on a game for the 7800 & provided some screens to show in his 160C colour mode demo. I hope to continue doing this in future, it's a different kind of fun and even more of a challenge. What I enjoy about working on the Jaguar now is having a little extra freedom to work in, but still largely the same restrictions I'm used to from the ST & Falcon. I'm also hoping to work on at least one or two ST/Falcon games this year, that all depends on the motivation of my coder friends or myself.
JAGTOPIA - free boot CD for the Jaguar - boot unencrypted & troublesome discs with this great CD/binary
UNIVERSAL LOADING SYSTEM - Jaguar single-load encrypted CD tool - takes minutes to make CD images from BJL/ABS/COF/BIN/JAG files
DOWNFALL - Quick Jaguar release inspired by MGD & SGD for AC2011 party in France, April 2011. Neo did most of the gfx here, my input was recycled gfx & level design.
BEEBRIS TRIBUTE/BEEBRIS SE - Jaguar version of the ST classic by The Law.
Our first effort on Jaguar - a wildly patched-together shmup that started life as a title screen effect. Not the best game, but we learned a lot about the Jaguar and some of its more 'interesting' fans when making it.
JiFFI - Jaguar File Format Interchanger - convert your Jaguar homebrews/demos/etc between formats, very handy for gamers & dev teams, saves that few minutes bolting on headers & building multiple formats for testers.
Chu Chu Rocket! remade for the Atari ST - gfx by Neo-rg and myself 
#atariscne card battle ex plus alpha - hardcore scene wars - FIGHT!

Tales from the Console Graveyard: Atari Jaguar

"Remember the Atari Jaguar? We sure do. Kevin Pereira, Adam Sessler, Morgan Webb and Blair Herter share their memories over the tragic history of the Atari console, which was doomed to fail from the beginning."
I can smell the fanboy rage now, it does get quite a few things wrong.

RAPTOR Engine is unveiled
Wed Nov 23, 2011 3:35 PM
It's the Jaguar's 18th birthday today. To celebrate, Reboot of Jagware are pleased as punch to unveil The RAPTOR Engine. RAPTOR is a high performance RISC-based API designed to leverage the performance of the Jaguar's custom RISC chips in an easy and flexible manner. It also utilises LinkoVitch's new U-235 sound engine. It's not finished yet, there's much more functionality to add in future, but we believe this to be a huge step forward in bringing Jaguar game design within the reach of many more people.
To give you an idea of the possibilities, our latest game, Kobayashi Maru, was implemented using an early version of RAPTOR. Head over to the RAPTOR page to learn more. Feedback is most welcome!

Wanted: Atari Jaguar Chaos Reins rotary controller or similar
Tue Oct 18, 2011 6:07 AM
Looking for a CR pad, must work fine but general condition not that important.
Needed by coder for testing/development on Jaguar and Falcon (one game coming out in October, one in November). I'm in the UK, he's in Greece, the closer the better for shipping as it's fairly urgent.
May be interested in other rotaries other than Tyrant/JA (we have enough of those), just send me a PM with what you have & what you want shipped - cheers!
