+CyranoJ Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Announcing: Raiding Rivers! WIP builds are available to my Patreon supporters, the latest version was posted today just a few minutes ago. Developed as the winner of a 'what game to make?' poll voted on by Patreon supporters, this is where we are at after around 19 days of off and on work on the game. I hope to do futher polls in the future and make more mini games! It is now 'feature complete' and playable, but still requires some cleaning up (new art, music, options, score, lives, etc) Further WIP builds, followed by a final build will be available to Patreon supporters. Don't want to support reboot-games on Patreon? Not a problem, I have you covered as well. You'll be able to play the final build around two weeks after it is posted to Patreon members. Thanks everyone, CJ / Lawrence. 21 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidGameR186496 Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Thanks for the minigame! My dad would have loved to play this, given that he was a huge fan of River Raid on both the 2600 and ColecoVision 😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+cubanismo Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 I don't see any scoring. Will the final version keep track of your score? If so, will the non-patreon version include scoring, or do I have to find three other guys who want it first and pay extra? 😁 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari030 Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Superb, River Raid was in my top 10 of 8 bit games, not just an average 16 bit port. Better pull finger and get a gamedrive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saboteur Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Love this game. I've always wondered, is the landscape randomly generated ? and do you generate 1 side and then mirror it ? Also if it is randomly generated, how do you decide how long a flat section should be before the next change and do you set min/max lengths and depths of change ? Just curious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious https://www.scribd.com/document/5386334/Atari-VCS-2600-River-Raid-labeled-assembler-source-code Its randomly generated from a seed, so its the same (random) map every game. Left/right are mirrored. New section happens when the current patten data runs out, bridge every 32 patterns. And before anyone asks, no this is nowhere near a 1:1 port, I eyeballed it 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+CyranoJ Posted December 5, 2023 Author Share Posted December 5, 2023 Unless anyone finds something badly wrong with this build, I'm calling it done! Patreon Supporters can download immediately, the rest of the world will have to wait a few weeks. Requires: Skunk, JagGD or BigP to run. Thank you all for your support! [edit] the mono sound effects have been fixed since this video was recorded. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atari030 Posted December 5, 2023 Share Posted December 5, 2023 Is this one of those cross culture miscommunications you often get with Americans? I have too many Atari's and the cost off all these little repairs and upgrades is killing me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think you meant "pull the trigger," which is an idiomatic way of saying make the purchase, complete the deal, sign the contract, etc. If an American child of the 80's/90's tells you to pull their finger, don't do it, and maybe go to a different room if possible just to be safe. 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
