| I've been working on a remake of an old Amstrad CPC classic, Mutant Monty. Still not a complete game, far from it, but surely getting there!. |
| ||
| Update: Added movement to the baddies. |
| ||
| Looking good. I'd bet the folks over at retroremakes would be interested in this. Are you thinking of keeping the original gfx? Or are they just placeholders for the time being? |
| ||
| Oooo... where is the Pit of Primeval Slime!? |

| @ervin: ervin (Posted 4 hours ago) #3 Looking good. I'd bet the folks over at retroremakes would be interested in this. Are you thinking of keeping the original gfx? Or are they just placeholders for the time being? I've Googled left, right and centre; I've never found a remake of this yet, so yeah!, I have a feeling this might go down well. As for the graffix, I wanted to keep this as close to the Amstrad version as possible, although I may do another one at a later date with updated graffix etc... @GfK: Oooo... where is the Pit of Primeval Slime!? Patients Dave!, the slime is dangling and almost ready to drop. :D That video is very early test footage, I will hopefully have a few more levels done tonight. ;) |

| Looks promising. |
| ||
| looks nice. I remember this game from the speccy. |
| ||
| Looking good, Steve. |
| ||
| UPDATE!!! I've got 9 of the levels working, no sound yet but at least it's playable. My apologies for the lack of video quality, my camera-phone really isn't behaving itself tonight. |
| ||
| Looking great! Just wondering though... is that "glowiness" part of the game, or is it because of the way it has been recorded? |
| ||
| The "glowiness" is due to the camera on my phone, it just looks normal in reality. The weird thing I don't get, the two videos further up this topic were done on the same camera and yet they don't glow. :-/ |
| ||
| I just found out what went wrong with that video, the lens needed cleaning. :D |
| ||
| looking good. cant wait to try it! :D |
| ||
| Hello steve, your game looks great. why dont you make videos with some screen capturing software like: HyperCam 2 free or Camstudio greetings, Dan. |
| ||
| Thanx for the info Dan but screen capture on this old and Amish PC just doesn't give an acceptable framerate. I did try that HyperCam app, tried playing the game with it recording and Monty seems to teleport from one place to another instead of the usual flowing movement. |
| ||
| It looks very nice, very CPC'ish! :) |
| ||
| Thanx for the info Dan but screen capture on this old and Amish PC just doesn't give an acceptable framerate. Amish? You mean your PC has an odd-looking beard and a suspicious hat? |
| ||
| Oh yeah, definitely!. It has cables hanging out all over the place, I suppose that could qualify as a beard. I've not cleaned it for many months either, it's a wonder the bloomin' thing still works. |
| ||
| All levels done now, just need to add sounds and a title screen, it goes straight into game mode as soon as it's loaded at the moment. |
