F64PGC2017: Sports - Kung Fu Pixel (goerp) - The last push for the deadline

Less than 2 weeks to the (extended) deadline I decided I should at least do one post.

After starting on two ideas in December (see: http://www.goerp.nl/f64pgc2017/helsing_screenshot1.png, http://www.goerp.nl/f64pgc2017/helsing_screenshot2.png) I changed my mind again and will now be entering with a project I started 2 years ago.
It's called 'Kung Fu Pixel' and as you might have guessed: it's a fighting game. It won't look as the other fighting game entry game I've seen.

This is the current state of affairs:

The two TODO's are just nice to have and the three DOING's are not crucial (intro animation, music finetuning and gameplay finetuning).
What isn't visible is the category BUGS, which would be too big to fit on my door. I'm using gitlab for that.

Still, I'm pretty confident I will get the game to a state good enough to enter the competition.

To post at least something about the game here's a screenshot of working on the intro (it's just a silly backstory, a feature most of my games tend to have).
Be warned: the intro is the best looking part of the game

Zitat von Claus

Oooh, agile C64 game development!

heh. Not very agile. Introducing several new features at the last moment. But it seems like I will meet the deadline of this sprint!

God, I'm an idiot!
I just found out that on the last evening I had been editing a copy of my music source in stead of the actual source itself. No wonder I couldn't get all my music properly synchronised.

thanks!

Certainly not the worst that could happen but could have saved me an hour and some frustration

I knew about that demo! Liked it immediately.
It wasnt the inspiration, though. I'm pretty sure I wouldnt know how to use it like that in a game (except maybe a simple vertical avoid it game).

"Real" sideborder stuff with sprites and bad lines and stuff and all, still scares me
Avoiding bad lines was the reason I blanked the screen in the first place

I also have a 294 lines high version with the same technique that converts regular MC sprites to the full screen format on the fly.
But that only leaves time for a really tiny music routine and nothing else.

Maybe should post that one on csdb as well. I really liked Seeing the jumping whale from Killerwatt full screen.

thanks!

I didn't know Jar's revenge was badline free. Interesting! Peiselulli is using the d011 stuff to get rid of badlines I'm guessing?

It's ntsc compatible too. My game is definitely not and I can't imagine it ever being that.

Hm. I don't think I know the original game they're referring to.
