cyangames	They Are Everywhere - NES Edition As They Are Everywhere failed to come out on the OUYA / Gamestick as the consoles died before ocmpletion, it's time to ressurect it for the NES. I've learnt a few more bits whilst making the last few so, after a couple evenings, we're at this point. Youtube compression is terrible. View on YouTube 30355 bytes remain. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Oh cool, you still have those I need to make some Flap Happy ones! Although, I think Mega Cat have that under control already, hahaha! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Woohoo!

cyangames	Added death splosions tonight, just need to add more enemies, movement patterns, etc and I should be able to get close to the OUYA original Sprite Tile usage so far Background Tile usage so far As each Wave had a focus on certain enemy types spawning in, except for boss stages, I'm hoping this should have a good amount of space left for musics but, I might be being ambitious here, not sure. Gonna be allocating 4 sprites for the player, 4 for bullets, 10 sets of 4 sprites for 2x2 enemies and the rest for 1x1 enemies / bullet spawns, , then 1 for power up spawning, 3 for explosions / bkg stars. Bullets will essentially function just like enemies but with 255 health,. so pretty unkillable. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Wow, that's a lot of gfx!! Can you flip those, too? Theres a lot of repeats at the bottom, there. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Mon, 05 Feb 2024, 00:57
cyangames	The sprites can be flipped, yes, the bkg tiles, sadly, cannot -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Aww, that's a shame. I wasn't sure what worked in them there olden days! -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

cyangames	The generic tiles in the BKG area should be fairly wll placed to make something a bit bigger further down the line though, but, I need to see how far I can get this week with it Hopefully I'll get multiple enemies set-up tonight. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Explosions! Multiple Enemies!! Way too many glitches! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	So fast!

cyangames	Sorta fixed-ish, not sure what's causing them all to respawn though. That phantom V-Fighter at the start also, hmmm... 29,219 bytes remain! -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	How odd. I'd suggest a wraparound number loop thing, but they're all jumping at the same time, so that's not very likely. -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Tue, 06 Feb 2024, 02:00
cyangames	I'll find out tonight hopefully

cyangames	Ended up putting together the score advance screen instead last night, forgot to post here because I fell asleep, ha! twitter.com/i/status/1754994689097208089 28,422 Bytes Remain (just realised) Ohh, so, only just over 4kb code so far! Might try to do the high score board tonight before I return to tackling the rest of the game. -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

Jayenkai	Yeah, I can imagine that game's code is a WHOLE lot lighter, since you don't have to build an entire bloomin' proc-gen level generator into the thing!! Should also be way easier to test it, too! Any plans for new features this time 'round? -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''
Wed, 07 Feb 2024, 03:10
cyangames	A lot lighter than unity, yeah! New features... I'm not sure, I want to see how far into the game I can make before I begin to run low on either CPU or ROM. I'm already low on sprite tiles, roughly 23 of those remain and I might have to use them for the final boss, the plan is to recreate the unreleased OUYA version as well as I can, in as small an maount of space as possible, before I probably ask someone to help with the music (eh heh heh) Then I'll probably approach Mega Cat with it again (crosses fingers) -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!

cyangames	Fairly tired today but, yeah, high scores screen and code re-use! 27,944 bytes remain -=-=- Web / Game Dev, occasionally finishes off coding games also!
