Zuks is a labour of love that comes from many years of lurking these forums and forums like these. Big huge love and shout out to the pioneers that helped drive this community to what it is. I am overjoyed every time I get chance to listen in on what the dev's are up to.

With the dawn of 0x8bitdev's tremendously awesome toolsets I am hoping the Zuks discussion may open the doors to some good conversation and best practices regarding Turbo Dev and serve as a decent frame of reference for those interested in spear heading the new tools!

The discussions regarding GFX formatting and implementation are in 0x8bitdev's thread. pcengine.proboards.com/thread/1281/dev-tools-maped-spred-linux

Last year I caught wind of DarkKobold and Turboxray concocting an epic sprite scaling routine and fortunately for me TX took me under his wing and showed me the ropes so the attract mode is a testament to their hard work!

Great sprite work and animation! I especially love the ghosting trails behind the characters in their introductions. Looking forward to seeing what comes next, fantastic work!

Isn't this the Neo Geo game called Zupapa? And I think player 2 is Zupipi not Zumama although that was pretty funny.

Plus more FACE-like games on the pc engine is always pleasant to me. How far are you into the actual game portion?

This may be a very cool addition to the library.

I personally like the title. I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it right.

If it's a clone you can of course change the name, but I mean the sprites are directly ripped from Zupapa. Zupapa itself is, like Tumblepop and Joe & Mac Returns, one of many clones of Snow Bros which in turn is a Bubble Bobble-style single-screen platform game.

Those kids are called Zukko Blue, Zukko Orange, Zukko Green and Zukko Violet. I guess "Zuks" is derived from those.

bfrasure: I've been trying to develop for the pc-engine for a while now, the one thing I keep running into is the lack of dev tools, I'm working to try to improve that. The more approachable the code, the more new games we'll see. Oct 19, 2024 19:21:21 GMT

bfrasure: I've been looking through the thread of documented special effects used in Turbo / PC-Engine games. We should try our best to isolate each of these and put them into a catalog where they can be used and seen again across games. Oct 20, 2024 17:38:33 GMT

bfrasure: I found this pc-engine ChatGPT agent which is supposed to help with development. I've had really poor luck with it since it doesn't seem to grasp the limitations of the development tools but here it is: chatgpt.com/g/g-aHu3gysyO-gptg-16 Oct 20, 2024 17:41:20 GMT
