MSX Invaders reannounced?

impressive?

Always so positive... perhaps because there is a super production about to be released somewhere... Well, the game seems to be under development so let´s wait until it is finished. I like the concept and I would like to see the game finished.

Impressive is a non common thing. Like a Dvik demo, like a "almost real" demo or Utopia.

I do not see anything of impressive in a re-make of space invaders.

i hate space invaders

Obviously, Aleste II shouldn't have been made, it's only a remake of Aleste. Come to think of it, Nemesis II shouldn't have been made either.. nor should Nemesis III and Salamander.

So uhm, jokes aside: any MSX game should be made, especially when it's artistically well made.

OK, jonh, now you are getting really boring.
I have, several times, considered to make something but for me there are some strong requirements:
- First, i do not like started and never finished projects. Best not to start at all
- The product should be something decent, even if not a master piece or a gem.
- the product should have graphic and music and i'm not a graphic nor a music composer.

I think, especially the first point , is the most common problem that we have.
Some of us try to do something, and after a while they stop and (maybe?) restart a project. Or the project itself take ages to finish. And i think it's not necessary to make examples.

For me, there is only one option, if you start, you should reach the finish.

And to be more clear: Even if i had been the creator of the most great gem in MSX sw, you, probably will find another stupid point to give vent to your stupid sarcasm.

And even crappy results. not because the real abilities, but due to the lack of time.
And this is what i'm trying to avoid almost for me. others, of course, can do anything they want.

doe ff normaal. happy 2013, may this be an IMPRESIVE year for all.
even for pingpong.

Really? Do what you can and let others help you. It's too much for one person, maybe.

I'm not saying you approach is bad or good. For me is not the best approach.
For me is better to not start. Maybe is better contribute.
Problem with sw is that one cannot start a project then passing to another because 'i've no time'. In those situations more likely there is a stop in the sw development. Of course, there are rules that allow a team oriented projects, but here we are talking of hobby.
I've the same problem you have, lack of time. My approach is only different from your. That's all.

Ok, maybe too much time spent writing coments in this kind of posts for example...
The worse of all is that you know that will be this kind of replies but you search this, you chosed right your nickname.
I my opinion, is good to talk about the "bad" and "good" things and more if all of us are MSX fans.
Write your next reply... for me is enough.

IMHO tons of unfinished projects and their sources on the web help programmers to learn and spread new ideas
Unfinished projects aren't failures but seeds for other new projects, some will become complete games some others just ideas for others
and the fun is in the developmet itsef

And is also sure that you never did something completely useless.
For me is best a finished project than " may be one day i fill finish " project. Make one research about the start date and count the projects that are abandonware.

We are not a big comunity, where one make some funny project then stop developing, but there is always one that can fork or use/resume the old one, thus development can continue. This way cannot work for us. We are too small.

Impressive!! ... Nah, not wanting to make the joke here. But this video needs indeed to get more credit than what is getting in this post. C'mon, there is a close-to-full game engine there, you can notice it by just watching the video! The borders pattern-scroll at two different speeds, a pattern based movement is there to manage the enemies (same for the shots), and the sprite based character is really detailed! I mean, there is quite some work of gfxing and coding inside this demo video. I say: go Nerlaska!

Hell yeah snout, I couldn't agree more with your comment.

And about vapourware, I prefer to call them "unfinished projects": in my case, some of those unfinished projects were the seed for a complete game. For example, a demo concept for an MSX version of the arcade Mega Twins was the origin of the Mystic Swords project, that finally became Invasion of the Zombie Monsters. Other projects just resurrect, just like Subacuatic, a game conversion that we at Relevo teased in 2009, halted it and finally released it a couple of weeks ago. And others just die: but always hels you to learn something useful.
