Unfinished platform game

Cinco de mayo release?

Shiru: I have a question about the music. One of the instruments (lead) sounds like you have a low-pass filter that you're adjusting up and down as the instrument plays. How did you achieve that on the 2612!?

Very easy, I often use this effect. Just recently on SoundShock was posted link to video which explains that very clearly - see it.

Yes, that was the most awesome series on FM synth I've ever seen. Thanks!

Agreed =)
FM synthesis is cleverely explained and sounds less obscure for me now.

Shiru: thanks for the link. I see he did that effect in the video

OK, more stuff about the game:

Huh, little issues with robot physics

And don't ask me how I managed to shoot backwards, even I don't know o_o'

I also noticed that shoots that bounced still can hit robots. I wouldn't fix this through

It can lead to some interesting tricks, and even could be used to make some weird bosses

And last thing, try not to run objects if they're too far. All three robots continue being processed even if I'm in one side of the level and they're on the other side :/

Sik, first, I said about this bug in first post of thread, and named reason because it happens, and we even discussed it with you for half of topic. Second, this is just a WIP demo, there is many things which not implemented and many things must be changed for actual game.

I don't think that bug is caused by the compiler issue

Still, it's easy to fix, I already know what's it doing wrong.

And please don't say anything against the suggestions, you should have seen how I was killed while I was making Sonic Action, I was asked for even worst things.

I don't care what you think.

I don't say anything against suggestions, but I say for second time: don't teach me for basic things. I have many years of my own experience and I don't asked you for teach me.

Ugh...

OK, you all argue against me, why don't you just ban me and we're all happy?

Shiru, that was quite harsh. The fact that you have many years of experience doesn't mean anything; we never stop learning.
It doesn't matter if Sik said you something you already knew, this behaviour of yours is despisable.
And stop to be emo, Sik, almost nobody (except for a few ones) is arguing against you here, it's your impression.
As much as I dislike you for things that happened somewhere else (not starting an argument), I recommend you not to.

I agree on him, Shiru, everyone knows that forums are public places and you can write things as you want, but politeness never hurt anyone.

Actully I have been observing a lot of unpoliteness not only from him but from other people as well. I don't feel offended or anything but I really feel sorry for people that do such things, since it only counts as negative image for them.

A big vote for the peace on the Genny dev community!

To be honest, the attitude here reminds me a lot of DIVSite, except this time I'm not acting like a n00b :/

Still, yep, Shiru was a bit harsh with that. But reminds me of certain green hedgehog >_>

EDIT: now that I think on it...

It isn't really the problem. But you were customed that everything was like stuck in doing nothing interesting, then I came and purpose all those weird ideas and you think they're too good to be possible because you aren't customed to big projects. If the situation was different, you would endorse them instead.

Also I was lurking a bit here before joining, and to be honest, before I registered the only decently active topic was the Regen one. I came and sudden of all there's a lot more of activity

The attitude here reminds you divsite? Except for some people that are harsh sometimes (you find that kind of people everywhere) I don't see anything wrong with this place.
And what is the "I have started activity and all interesting stuff here" arguments? There were decent topics, already.
And I don't see why TulioAdriano would have not supported you on the fact that some people here refer harshly sometimes, if you didn't allegedly generate activity like you say.
And seriously, some of the things you propose are too ambitious and impossible.
Like "megadrives will start getting sold again", "the second generation of md games", "everyone will start playing them".
"Ninja Fight isn't what I'd expect from 2gen! It's too simple".
Seriously, you are as far fetched and ambitious as always.
I've worked with you several times, and I know you like thinking about big and ambitious projects, while you release almost nothing in the end.
Both the games you programmed, weren't even released officially in their last form, but I had to release them with the note that the projects were dead.
If we *really* have to start an argument (we likely don't), let's bring it somewhere else.
