Lunar Rescue

Post by highrise »

Here's an update on Lunar Rescue which is being coded in '100% machine code!' live on Twitch. The aim is to get as close to the arcade as possible, as fast and smooth as an arcade game should be with no flicker or tearing. There are still plenty of challenges ahead but it's getting there.

Looks absolutely terrific. That descent sound is a proper earache, though :D

yes, it's like that in the arcade but I was thinking of dropping the volume of it and will do so now you've said that.

Another update. The game is now in a 'beta' testing stage. There are a couple of things I still want to do but it's fully playable. The AY sounds have been updated, lowering the volume a little on the landing beeper and matching it to the arcade.

The game has been sent to my followers on Patreon. If you'd like to test it out, and also get every game, demo and mod I've made included for a small monthly donation that helps me do my bit in keep the Spectrum homebrew scene going, you would be most welcome. I couldn't do it otherwise.
