Developer log: Platform game "Robot Jet Action"
Ten days ago we reported about Tomasz 'Carrion' Mielnik's start to port his platformer "Robot Jet Action" for the Amiga. Now he has published a first developer update (YouTube video) and describes the progress as follows:
  • Working on the first tileset for the first world of the game. What you see on the video is going to be one of the world’s graphics. Still a lot things to do, but at least the idea is here.
  • Reimplemented the fuel gauge on the bottom panel. It’s more accurate and animates smoother… and it looks cooler
  • Implemented my own fonts routine. I did that mainly to not use any workbench libraries of Amiga system.
  • Also implemented my hex to decimal conversion routine that is used to show score and (later) also lifes left
  • First initial Implementation of up-down scroll. It needs some tuning but it works.
  • The copper colors in the background started to look like some parallax effect which, most likely I will keep in the game in this form
  • sprites collisions implemented but turned off as for now
  • collisions for collecting diamonds needs tuning as they are not accurate in all cases.
  • For the copper colors I’ve implemented set of scripts to convert them from png files. This way I can simply draw them in gfx program and convert to Amiga OCS compliant copper colors. I needed this as there will be a lot of copper colors needed for levels.
  • I also have set of scripts that convert tilemaps that I create in Tiled to my own format that I use in the game.
  • Some code optimization was done because the game started to slow down on Amiga 500 configs
  • some concept works on the overall gfx and design, like for example some experiments with the panel at the bottom
  • Regarding the gfx, I usually work iteratively on it so please keep in mind that gfx is going to evolve during the development.
