Atic-Atac Isometric Version
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
Nice work!
Promise I won't tell anyone at Microsoft that some of their sprites are in there.
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
I thought the graphics were amazing, and then I saw the underground section dungeon walls - OMG!
The pixel artwork on the doors, the dungeon walls, the stairs, the wulf-head on the wall - incredible.

Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
Thanks! The authors of the PC version contacted Rare near the start of the project, and they’re fully onboard with what we’re doing.
The graphics are what first drew me to this project - they’re just so perfectly ‘Ultimate’. Getting it all to fit on the Speccy - even in 128K - is difficult, but it’s certainly getting there. I Need to dress some more of the rooms...
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
I was going to mention the graphics too. They are gorgeous, maybe the best ever done in an isometric Speccy game so far!
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
f*** me, this is beautiful!
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
This looks really great. My favourite Spectrum graphics in this style was Head over Heels, but this is even better.
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
This was my all time favorite game for the Speccy back in the day. It simply looks amazing!!

Sad news but we’re looking at other options.
Original PC version is getting closer to completion abd Bob still continues on the 128K version.

Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
I read this tweet the other day. I thought Melkhior's Mansion had started out as a NEXT game and that the developer(s) decided to port it over to the 128k Speccy. I take it from this that there will only be the 128 version released?

Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
Wrong way around. The original is the PC version and the Next version is (well...was) a conversion handled by another developer. We're still looking at other options for the Next version, though, and the 128K version is still in development.
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
Out of interest how much dev had been done on the NEXT version?

Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
I'm not entirely sure what the latest state was. It was all being done using the developer's bespoke development tools, and when we introduced the caverns into the game, the Next isometric engine (or something) was having to be modified to handle those changes. There was a decision to hang back a bit with the Next dev in order for us to get to an almost final state on the original before work would resume.
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
Spectrum graphics can look amazing. This is a perfect example. I don't have words to describe how good the art looks.
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
The speccy version looks drop dead gorgeous! This and the PC version look like they will be well worth the wait! Kudos to everyone involved!

Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
Important decisions to be made on the 128K version!

Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
Is this release date for the standard Spectrum version, too ?
Re: Atic-Atac Isometric Version
This really is shaping up to be one of the best looking Speccy games. I’d go as far to say that I prefer the monochrome look rather than the full colour PC version.
