Banging
out of the expected total of 5 we have 3 downloads already !
we're BOOMING !
https://shnull.itch.io/oggy-goes-joggy
in the first few hours of upload, we might actually reach the expected target here !
(took about 6 months on and off, got shelved for 4 months because the screentearing seemed insolvable but somehow we found how to fix it, not core related either)
its version minus 1 "functional"
here in this world i created,I
am god
so we'll be using our own garbage/meeting language instead of RC's and prototypes and whatnot, in dev/null no one can hear you scream wether you say runtime, execution, userspace or not
assuming there's about 100 people on the planet left who have one, of which the incrowd forum has the same 10-20 talking to each other about each other, 5 downloads for a game we cant promote seemed realistic, getting 2 in the first hour and another one by morning is
BEYOND ALL EXPECTATION
we would dare anyone to pick up a download of jagstudio, read the 2page manual and just do it
it was a blast of a challenge really, with no one even answering our first question so we didnt pose another and did it all by myself, audio, video, programming and design ... anyone with not a hischool degree will be considered if they deliver a prod of equal or better quality. "ENGINEERS" are ofcourse expected to deliver 100 times better while sleeping
so its v -1 "functional" which means everything's there, its a full game, only the gfx and sound can use working on (but THEYre still there and full although not all pixels are as well placed as they could be and the music tracks have been replaced with one pattern tracks until we get tracks that are version 0.0 "presentable"
we'll keep working on it since its a pet for an old machine-friend who brought us so much solace during those dark days working in the tupperware nightshift , downloads or not and
if you see Elon Musk, tell him to download 100000 paid copies (times 0.6 so after taxes) so we can try something bigger
otherwise the next order is
c64 - middlersted , the game we started on in the first place "the game the kid would have wanted"
keep editing the gfx and music for this until more or less satisfied into v0.0 "presentable" (but the game is full and playable 100% okay, everythings in it and the hiscores are persistent)
keep figuring out how to handle programming the Atari STe, which the boy sadly never got to do as , compared to the c64 with the stacks of copied manuals and the KCS power cartridge, for the ST we had a measly two boxes of floppies, no manuals and one set of omikron basic disks we found WHICH CAME WITH NO MANUALS so we would have had to go shakespearean monkey at it trying to figure out the syntax and then still not know what the map of the piano is (like the poke 53280, 0 for the c64 ... i wouldnt know the equivalent on an ST because we never got to it)
we have "a setup" for an arm64 raspberry pi only game in godot but no incentive to work on it as retro stuff is a lot more enjoyable
and
the rest is waiting for ragnarok to kick off in full gear
In de hoop u hiermee voldoende te hebben geinformeerd , being on our 4th month of no income we dont reall have the inclination to go back to the human world and re-start chatroom chatting, if its just us and the cat and some hardcore imhex with 64 banks of easyflash acme assembler mixed with trse the mental stability seems to be better than when we look out the window and see where we are
so, for YOUR safety (always thinking about others first tsk ...)
we'll keep it that way for now
the game will get improvements but probably not on the code unless we find undiscovered bugs, with no roadmaps or deadlines, its a pet so we'll keep at it because we wanna
the jag-shmup probably wont happen because facing Ctulhu a second time with strange bugs that Von Neumann can't explain might be too much, THO if you see musk and he buys a 100000 copies we could consider it (ahum ...)
and
pfff
got no time, have to be somewhere, am tired and its ibuprofene again for the first time in months because i think we had enough pain for a while and wanna take a break
