Some questions about AOTB engine

You are here: Forum / Age of the Beast / Some questions about AOTB engine     << 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 >>

I'm assuming you mean ports of AotB. And the answer is: I really wouldn't know.

It's not Senile who do the console ports, it's "outside experts" that do that job.

Any suggestions as to which ones?

You could always add the "When is it going to be finished" question a few more times and in different phrasing. That way, anyone asking it must not have read the FAQ, and therefore are eligible for that very exclusive forum ban.

More questions:

1) Will be possible add more unlockable things in AOTB?

Here are some ideas for unlock things:

a) Finishing the game several times.
b) Finishing the game with each character (even the hidden ones).
c) Completing special events.
d) Finishing the game in hard mode (higher modes apply too).
e) Finishing the game by different paths.

This feature will be good for add more replay to the game.
I love unlock things in the games.

2) Will be possible use any of those effects in AOTB:

a) Multi shadow effect (Purple or transparency). (ex: Johnny Cage's Shadow kick)
b) Sun shiny effect. (ex: Capcom vs. SNK Buda stage)
c) Water splash. (ex: KOF 95 River stage)
d) Filter the character colors in some stages, depending if the time's stage is night, day or afternoon. Also, an special filter if the character is inside of a volcano or a fire house.
e) Fog effect (customizable).

3) Will be possible customize the holes in AOTB?

4) Will be possible customize the entrance/exit of the characters in the stages?

Like:

a) Walking. (ex: Street of Rage)
Jumping. (ex: Final Fight Sodom part)
C) Falling (BOR).

Of course, if this can be done with the ingame cutscenes then it will be much better.
Well, that's all for now. Enjoy it. lol

We're dissecting the entire game into the most minute details again. This is ridiculous, I'm not going to answer all of these questions any more, or there will be no surprises left at all!

Hmmm.... I have to reread the pages here again but one FAQ that could be added is 'Will there be an AotB demo?' with the answer 'No'.

Good one.

Hahahaha...a typical Roel answer.
Those were my last questions anyway.

I aqree with you, it's better keep some things secret until the game will be released.

When I got my first console I bought games on gut-feeling. Every level I entered was one full of wonder and joy. Then, later on, I started reading gamemags. Although it improved the overall quality of my collection, the wonder became somewhat less. I had seen a lot of levels through screenies.

Now, with aotb I sometimes wonder if there's gonna be anything left to wonder about... I hope Roel doesn't say anything anymore about this project. I want to play this game and be amazed. My curiosity has to wait.

Go Roel, you tell 'em like it is!

I'm not really that interested about the details anymore. I just want to play - it's more fun that way.

2 Questions.

1st Question:  How much code within AOTB engine is based on the BOR engine?

2nd Question:  Is the IO code for AOTB reusing the same files and/or expanding on them (video.x, vga.x, control.x, sblaster.x, soundmix.x, etc...)?

Thanks.

1. A lot, but almost none of it has remained the same.
2. Most of the files are completely new, some are altered versions of the old code, and only very few are unchanged.


I assume you're trying to determine how much code you'll need to port for a PSP version. If you have any suggestions to improve portability (for PSP or in general), feel free to post them in the programming forum.

if u do have unlockables on aotb then will u have a save feature cause it will get annoying unlocking everything then having to do it every single time cause there isnt a save feature.

Well, duh.

Hahaha.

Oh, well the music be able to loop on it's own? Like ADx has internal looping.

Loop on its own? Like BoR and other games usually do? I'm sure Roel has set it to loop.

Still cant wait for this to Come out!

I also want it to... COME OUT!

Me too!
