Thank you for your appreciation. I'm not aware of a game called Spectre? Is it a ST game?

I made a quick video of MAZE gameplay: MAZE video This is recorded on BPE.

Bump! I released a new version. Please see the first post.

Yes indeed! You're a true "ST connoisseur" @CyranoJ !

Thank you guys for the nice comments. Now I have to get back building mazes. By the way, MAZE is loosely based on a ST/Amiga game released in 1990. You control a craft in a maze-like map, with force-fields to destroy. There are turrets and various enemies to shoot at and various collectibles. The first one to find the title of the game will get the "ST connoisseur" award!😉

Here is MAZE, a new game I'm working on. The goal is simple: find the exit. Avoid lava floor and use keys to cross new areas. The game features flat shaded 3D with coder colors and the new Hively player by @Ericde45 and @42bs. It tested it on real hardware with a skunkboard and on BigPEmu. Enjoy! Edit: new version released with more maze (9 total) and a scoring system. MAZE.zip

Excellent news! I tested it, it works fine!

That was it! It sounds great! Nice to hear the Jaguar producing new kind of sounds. Good job @Ericde45 and @42bs. Now what would be nice for games is a sound FX channel, like PCM samples. I guess it is not trivial to integrate with the current logic of the player, and the DSP is already nearly full. Do you think something could be done? Maybe reducing the number of synthesis channel to 8 could free up some memory to add the additional logic...

I'm interested in this player. I compiled hvl2stream in visual studio. I had to hack together a unistd.h but it seems to convert hvl and ahx to streambits successfully. A usage demo of the player would be nice since I didn't manage to get anything to play. I set the parameter field as indicated in the source code : pointer to stream, pointer to AHX_FilterPrecalc.bin, pointer to AHX_panning.bin, master volume set to 255. I set REGPAGE in D_FLAGS before starting the DSP.

Bump! I went back to Shoot'em up 3D. There are now 4 levels, new enemies and new tunes. I tested it on actual hardware with a Skunkboard and under BigPEmu. Enjoy! shootemup3D_1_1.zip

Very strange @K3V This looks like headtracking was enabled with no headtracker. In this case the camera points to the side. Maybe you pressed "option" by accident? This button toggles headtracking.

I make the 3D objects with Blender. I export them as Wavefront objects (a text format, very easy to parse) and convert them to a specific binary format that can be understood by my renderer with a simple C# tool I wrote. The actual level data (enemy waves, area size) is written directly in C code.

Yes, I wrote my own renderer for this. It runs entirely on the GPU. A new version of the game will be coming "soon". I already added a few levels.

Thank you all for your feedback! I think I'll get back at it. I will try to make differents levels with differents corridors, to break the monotony. Faster movements would indeed be nice. This should be easily fixed. Making the game actually more fluid is more difficult. I would have to change the way I do 3D. This could lead to years of numberwang so I'm not keen on going this way...

Here is a new shoot'em up in 3D for the Jag. VR is supported through BigPEmu. This is a short game that has been on the back burner for quite a while but I decided to complete it thanks to the recent developpement of BigPEmu. The game runs on a real jag with a skunkboard. It should work on a JagGD. Using the VR mode is explained in the readme file. Don't do it on a real jag, your view will be upside down and locked to the side. Unless you've got a jagvr headset, then it might work. Have fun! shootemup3D.zip
