Simply wonderful ! I can't wait to play the final release.
As you said, this little great gem will be released as freeware and of course I'm ok with that BUT, if that can motivate you, I would pay for more games like this !
... and I loved the c64 palette, will you also add 16-bit graphics a la Head over Heels remake, a game speed option and other sound modes ? (a c64 SID chip version would be perfect)
Thanks for the comments. I'll think about a speed option, but I need to consider if that might introduce a sort of "cheat" in tricky situations. A 16-bit graphics option and alternative music aren't really feasible. It would mean asking the artist and musician to do twice the work, and they're already doing it for free :o)
Thanks for your reply. Just some more tip, if I can:
- sometimes I like to play with the "draw floors" option turned off, in that case I can't see the shadow enemies (what an amazing mine of quotes this game is). Could you give them color in this mode ?
- if you will add an auto map please make it optional for a true retro feel because back in the good old days we hadn't such gimmicks
- what about a 4:3 ratio option ?
- Lester seems so proud of his moustaches it would be very funny if he occasionally left them on the ground when he loses a life :)
Thanks for the suggestions, always good to get ideas.
- I'll look into the shadow option, might look a bit odd, who knows.
- The on screen map will be accessible from certain places in the game, so you don't have to use them if you don't want to.
- 4:3 ratio would mean some of the larger screens wouldn't fit on screen.
- Haven't finalised Lester's death object yet. The moustache could work.
