A1200 Danmaku WIP video #8

[@Harkonnen75]

AAA game on Amiga.... nominated for Goty 2025 :-) This game deserves a physical edition :-)

[@Daytona675x]

Thanks :-) It will get a box for sure!

[@rotorportor3119]

Great engine, smooth action. Promising work.

[@Pabloraster]

Incredible. You are doing an amazing job!!

[@grumpyoldgeezr]

As a huge fan of Japanese arcade shoot 'em ups from the 90's, I am very excited for this! It looks stunning, especially for being on an Amiga! Amazing.

Happy new year 🥳Great improvements on the engine Daniel! Love the new visual effects like craters in the ground. Very promising since first glance 🙌

[@Daytona675x]

Thanks, mate :-) Stuff like craters (technically "persistent background modifications", actually not totally trivial with this game due to the almost 320 pixels plus horiz softscrolling) are inside since wip video #2 - I just had no ground test-enemies anymore until recently ;)

[@PinballPlanet]

Happy New Year! You've been working really hard again. Explosion craters on the floor are great, I like it when you can see the action visually. So keep the particles and explosion effects coming! I'm already painting the next tilesets :)

[@AmigaFanatic1980]

Looking great ! Keep up the amazing work

[@AmigaVR]

Happy New Year , the game is looking Great 🤘🏻

[@ddniUK]

Wow Dan! This isn’t an update, it’s a transformation 🤪. Keep it up and HNY.

[@Daytona675x]

Happy New Year, my friend 🍻

[@per-olaeriksson2589]

Can't wait to buy this , awesome work.

[@MichalBergseth-AmitopiaTV]

Awesome! I love such shooters. I played Ikaruga on Dreamcast a lot. It's lovely to see the Amiga platform getting such a shooter.

[@karl-heinznapp2874]

I think you opened Pandora's box with this engine of yours! Very impressive!

[@szadron]

I see that you've improved the initial part of fire. It looks more natural and much better overall 👍

[@SonofTzeentch]

looking great!

[@mistube]

[@Yeowtch]

Very good!

[@amigatronics]

Wow! Subscribed!

[@PeterMackay]

Lovely stuff ❤

Amazing work! Can I ask how you got the boss to be 31 colors when you're in dual playfield mode, the only way I could think is that you have 4 attached sprites 16 colors each but that wouldn't leave enough sprites for the player ships and bullets would it?

[@Daytona675x]

Thanks :-) 30, not 31 colors, my mistake. That boss simply consists out of 2 BOBs. The upper part (until the eyes begin) has one set of 15 colors, the lower part a different set. Works pretty well with that guy because most metal is concentrated in the lower part. The engine allows for full PF2 palette changes at arbitrary Y positions. This happens automagically for every BOB being drawn. For PF1 each row of tiles can have a separate palette. There are some limitations though, e.g. of course there cant be overlapping enemies with different pals etc.

[@psquaredish]

@@Daytona675x Awesome, that's fascinating how you've achieved all that. I love the technical side of Amiga games and I read that you plan on writing up a big post at the end of development about how everything was done, almost looking forward to that as much as the game :)

[@DarkDefender01]

Impressive! I don't like bullet hell games, prefer kind of Project X, but this looks amazing. Good luck!

[@TheAmigaGuru]

[@neil1922]

Awesome, what's the name of the game now? As it was Hyperborea before :)

[@Daytona675x]

Actually it doesn't have a name right now. Just like most gfx and sfx are placeholders right now, the name is too. Literally :) Because when I asked an AI picture generator to please create a title-screen, I also asked it to use the word "Placeholder" as the title text, using japanese characters... Well, it didn't really understand me, it seems ;)

woooww

No need for Atlus anymore.
