Disk has the advantages you mention but it also demands much more work to push the limits (as Chema put it) and fill the disk with(admittedly) cool stuff. As a note, I did not mean "push the limits" of the machine, that is already done in your games and in the demos... I meant I could con...

A figure emerges in a cloud of smoke from his hotel in Granada, where he is spending his vacation... Hi folks. Just found a wifi connection and saw this interesting discussion. All my programs are disk based. Pinforic because I need a lot of memory and needed to emulate a 128K machine using some pa...

Ok. I have tested again the whole mission pack and solved a couple of glitches I found. And confirmed the story can be played and solved. Some missions are quite easy, some are really difficult and tricky, but all are doable with reasonable skills. I think the story behind the 10 missions is quite c...

Sorry for not having answered to this before... I have been quite busy lately. About the intro for 1337, we will deal with details by email, but a couple of things here: - We can work out the story as we like. The Elite Universe is completely invented, so could be a long time ago in a galaxy far far...

Yep. I think this topic has been raised before. Not sure, but I think it is the emulator of floppy drives with an SD card. Needs a controller, though.

Not sure if it emulates also writing, or just reading.

He he... really nice intro Dbug. Glad yo hear you could finaly show it at the party, and that you did not die in the process

More visibility for our little machine, and for new games...

Will we have a similar preview for 1337? Maybe before the real intro and the release?

An incredible platform-game! Very very nice work Twilighte. Congratulations. And thanks for this new game for our Orics! You rock, dude. I am sorry I did not have the time to make deeper testings in the last weeks, but you had a good team of testers anyway. Everybody should download and try this gam...

Your ideas guys are incredible. This one could be quite tricky to implement; ships which hyper, simply dissappear from the game, would need to set another key, check distance, get a close system randomly (means looping creating systems and checking distance, for example) and make the player jump the...

I forgot a couple of screenshots:




In both you can see the 3 circles, although they appear one by one.

Ok done some more work. The hyper effect for other ships is working (I hink -- I saw no glitches) and seems quite nice now. I also tweaked some other things and added the "Right on, Commander!" message which appears at every 256 kill points. Those players of classic Elite would surely miss...

I have added, as a first test, the concentric circles (3, appearing 1 per frame before the ship goes hyper) as an indication of a ship entering hyperspace. Got mixed feelings about it. It is nice to see such thing, and it is also useful, but it is a bit dull, I think. Maybe I am too used to somethin...

Hi all. Sorry to take so long to answer this. I have a minor family crisis here :/ Anyway I am reading and pondering the possibilities. Very good ideas have been risen here. I would like to come up with a simple solution for this, as I am quite low on memory now. It is not so simple as it seems, tho...

Yep, that is exactly what is occuring. They are attacked, they choose to flee away, as they are not near a mass, they hyper out.

Mmmm could think about something to indicate this is happening...

Thanks for the feedback.

Great ibisum! Let me know whatever you may find or any ideas... I *LOVE* it! :) Where were you in 1984 when I sat in front of my Oric-1 many nights, in despair at my neighbors growing software collection for his Speccie, in comparison to my few tapes of type-ins .. ;) mmmm... probably sitting in fro...

Great to know at least somebody is playing with the beta :) Thanks indeed Symoon, it seems you are to be nominated as the official New Oric Productions Tester :P If you only played the first tutorial, then you still have not seen much of the game. Let me know anything you think of, from bugs to any ...
