This looks absolutely amazing! If only we had such talent back in the 80's such as yours Chema, the Oric would have been a resounding success!! :o If you plan to send Chema back in the 80ies to turn the tide, don't forget to give him a modern computer with an emulator and all the tools he normally ...

Seems to me that you don't like the text in the top row too much :) It's mostly that I did not see it at the start of the video. I was busy looking at the dialog options at the bottom, and I did not realize that the text on the top of screen was related in any way to what happened under. Anyway on ...

What about speech bubbles as you did for Skooldaze ?

Always nice to get the technical parts solved :) Since you asked for feedback: - Are you planning to keep the text displayed on the top, as it is on the video, or at the bottom? - If doable, what would really help making the thing more natural would be to add animations for the eyes, like blinking, ...

An easy way to deal with constants is to just use the C preprocessor as a first pass: Use #define with named values, use the names in the scripts, and the preprocessor will just replace all the names by the values.

Dirty but could work

Yeah, it looks much nicer. I doubled it by software to have something to start with. No problem in having a special big font (except for the memory usage, that is). But what concerns me now is the normal size font. I am using the one for 1337 (6x5) but I find it a bit difficult to read in the dialo...

Yeah, making it similar to the one in the series would be nice, but I think it is more important that it is readable. And I am doubling it by software, drawing each scan twice. That area is hires. So, why not have an actual 6x16 font? If you use that one only for the menus, you can restrict it to j...

I guess the font should be relevant to the one in the series, like the end credits?

Are you doing the doubled size font manually, or using the hardware doubling?

Clearly looks a lot like the originals!


That's indeed quite impressive

I really like things like the fire extinguisher, tubing, machine with display, etc... very neat :) One thing I'm concerned about is the two different styles: On one hand you have the very straight corridors, with mostly everything horizontal or vertical, with the just the right amount of perspective...

A PI would be more than enough to run a web server, but with the limited amount of memory and storage, I'm not sure I would rely on that to host my entire infrastructure: - the phpbb forum (with the mysql database) - the svn server (and associated file storage) - all the defence force sub-domains an...

The machine is now running Ubuntu 16.04, fully upgraded, the fans have been replaced by silent ones so my second half does not scream at me because of the noise :) Currently installing SSH, Apache etc... For the nitty gritty details the current Miniserve machine is a 1.66Ghz Atom D510 with 4 gigs of...

So, Unbuntu 16.04 is finally out, I have all the required hardware for the server upgrade, I will tentatively try to setup everything during the week-end. It's a complete machine exchange, so in case of horribly catastrophic failure I can just put back the old machine, but basically except some down...

Some impressively sounding instruments, the sequence from 1'55" has some very deep bass line!
