Inferno for MSX2
« on: October 04, 2016, 10:52:44 PM »
So, I've been working on this MSX2 game called Inferno on and off for a few years between Atlanteaning and such:
http://www.aetherbyte.com/aetherbyte-inferno_for_msx.html



It's not PCE, and it's not coming to PCE, but I figure people here may be interested anyways.

It's getting fairly close to being done, and is currently being playtested.

You'd need

A) an emulator
or
B) An MSX2 with FM, or MSX2+

to play.

For anyone curious why it's not coming to PCE:

1) The sprites are all >32 pixels wide, and most are >32 pixels tall, and would ALL need redone.  It would be a bit of a nightmare, on top of Inferno being 16 colors total, so it would all need reshaded.   
2) MSX is a good time.  Hudson got some of their starts there, and Mr. HueyCard's starts are on MSX, so you should like it too
3) I don't really feel like it. :)   Saber Rider (once it gets rolling), and fresh topics will be more fun than porting a game you guys could play already anyways.

I might be needing a few more playtesters, if anyone is interested.

If a PCE port is a bridge to far, that means you're gonna port it to PC-FX, right?

A1ST owner here.  I do have a flashcart someone gave me, but I've never actually used it.  Let me know if you want to test.  I can even make a shitty video for my shitty youtube channel if you want.

Yeah, man, I know.  I'm just joking from the 'tards you had to deal with in that coding contest.

oh yeah.  I forgot I even did that, lol.

They played this on their gimpy 50hz machines.

Even Paul was doing that until I told him to amp it up to 60hz Japanese hardware and he went OH WOW, THE MUSIC SOUNDS BETTER NOW.

50hz is the devil.

Its a pretty slick game guys.  First time I played it was like Bonk's Adenture in platforming hell, but now its just straight hellawesome.

playtesters: feel free to paste pictures in here.

There is no video footage except for what was made by #msxdev people when I started this as a demo years ago.

You may see those on youtube.

I wouldn't bother though.

The instruments sound like dicks, and the games way cooler now.

I will link this page to a guy I know that's pretty into MSX, he might be able to playtest for you.  Pretty sure he has a forum acct too.
