this game better have references to make it funny

then i will rate it A++++ will play again

 

[.TakaM]

references like "hrth"

?

 

[Szyslak]

Catamareow!

Excellent combination of cats. I really hope it ends up as an iconic symbol of some washed up private detective, like R.C. Catamareow. Can't wait for the game.

 

[RayorDragonFall]

OMG! A hrth power up! A cat backround!

 

[Hadrian]

here's an interesting look back:

the background bush tiles in the current screenshot aren't final, I'm just playing around with them

I like the bush.

 

[Retal]

I like the bush.

So I hrd u like bush.

By the way I think it's a bit extreme that the entire sceen turns black every time you strike a foe.

 

[.TakaM]

heheh, bush..

and there will be a translucency slider for the flash frame when you kill an enemy in the options

 

[.TakaM]

which do you guys prefer?
the bush layer in the top image is ripped from new super mario bros, I'm just using it to test a different style...

?

and p.s.
don't think I'm redoing graphics and stuff like this to slow down the game's progress, Cocopuffs hasn't been able to do much for a long time so I'm redoing and improving a lot of graphics while I wait for him.

The bushes in the top image look more realistic, but they look like they keep repeating in a pattern, which makes it boring. The bottom ones are less realistic but they don't repeat. They both pwn anyways.

EDIT: Wha-? No Mac versions? boo

 

[Samutz]

I like the 2nd one's better. Something about the first one doesn't seem to fit to me.

mac version will be possible soon, I think the next version of GM will allow for it, so fingers crossed

and don't worry about the repetitiveness, it's just coz they're from NSMB when my bush layer is the same width as the screen, so you never see two parts exactly the same at the same time.

 

[Salamantis]

Yay!

Yeah, I agree with Samutz, I'd go with the 2nd one.

 

[.TakaM]

?

 

[TheStump]

Wow! TakaM the game is looking better and better everytime i see it. Why dont you apply for a New Zealand grant or something so you actually get paid to make something like this. Mind due you would need the rights to Twisen.
Your skills as a pixel artist could easily get you a job doing the art design on a DS game, look into it, then dump the beta. LOL
BTW if you actually made a DS game i'm sure you would get enough people just on GBAtemp buying it.

Keep it up man!

 

[.TakaM]

pirates would buy it?

the highest honor

 

[TheStump]

yeah, well think about that Qwak game for GBA. They released the ROM online and then made carts for it. If i do remember correctly Hadrian bought a copy. But i do remember something about them selling a fair few.
But your game would be alot better than that, so intern alot more sales. Even if you set up a paypal account and actually dumped the game yourself. Saves money on production so we could just send money directly to u.

I seriously rekon you could get some sort of artist grant from the New Zealand government. Look into it.

 

[Mewgia]

teh hawt. Just got around to watching the recent vids for it.

Making a DS version would be awesome, I'm pretty sure that the DS can handle a game like this.

I've donated £7 for it back then but I had tons of cash back then. I mainly paid as I have been playing pirate versions on the Amiga so thought I'd support the guy.

I have bought Motocross Challenge despite it being released as a rom first, it cost £8.50 and I've not actually played it once in fact I think its still in my parents shed with my PS2. Theres still copies available at rgcd.co.uk

If Twinsen is as enjoyable as it looks I'd definitely buy a copy of the cart if it was ever made for DS.
