Re: Snatcher remake project (maybe)

It may well be perfectly legal, even. *emphasis added* Nope. Yeah not surprised. But even if those aren't slapped down it doesn't console me much, cause patching a rom that runs in an MSX emulator is one thing. Releasing a new game directly ripping off someone's IP, on modern platforms and phones, ...

Re: Snatcher remake project (maybe)

I guess the thing is, if I got thousands of dollars for something like this on Kickstarter, and then Konami slapped it down, I'd feel like a total scammer. But it's even pretty likely Kickstarter themselves wouldn't approve such a project. Things like project melancholia are maybe a bit more under t...

Re: Snatcher remake project (maybe)

Hi again everyone. So here's something to whet some appetites - the ANDROID BUILD! https://rapidshare.com/files/2380268014/snatcher-1-release.apk It's just a proof of concept again, but it still makes me feel pretty darn warm inside to have Mika talking to me in the palm of my hand...err, that sound...

Re: Snatcher remake project (maybe)

I don't want to sound rude, but again I'll show my thoughts on your post. Rest assured, I'm not taking anything here personally, and have no problem with people having different opinions from mine. I know that's against time-honored internet tradition, but that's me :) 1.) I would perfer to code fr...

Re: Snatcher remake project (maybe)

1) Coding it from scratch If someone wants to, go ahead. Personally, I think the disadvantages aren't worth the advantages and if I do continue this I'll just go on with renpy. 99% of these kinds of projects die because everyone runs out of steam putting together the basic engine, which never gets p...

Re: Snatcher remake project (maybe)

Bah, assembly is the way to go! But seriously, if I was going to rewrite it from scratch (which I wouldn't, for various reasons) I'd use a high-level, multi-platform, easy-as-pie scripting language like python (perhaps using something like pygame). It just makes it all so much easier. It's not like ...

Re: Snatcher remake project (maybe)

Here's a megaupload link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WNWX0CZD I'm sure el_ash is right that it's more work than I think, that's almost always the case :) That's partly why I didn't delve into this more yet. But I still think it's more a case of straightforward rather tedious work more than it bein...

Snatcher remake project (maybe)

So, here's something I did: https://rapidshare.com/files/3910407468/Snatcher_2.0-win32.zip (I can provide mac/linux builds as well if someone wants) It's just a proof of concept and only has the first two rooms from the game. But I think it "proves the concept". I'm using renpy which makes...
