its all about the code..

no new screens to show yet, but I have been working on the code

the title screen, highscore & disk loader are complete, I am working on the tape loader atm
joachim wijnhoven is providing the aural ambience and I gotta say its sounding nice :)

keep chucklin to myself , I havent coded a game on the 64 in over 20 years, but funny thing is
right now it could have been yesterday (ok so I dug out my old battered copy of reato colin wests book)

but its there, I still remember.

Loading...

All the best games had loading screens and more often than not either a thumping hubbard or wailing jeroen tel sound to them, BooBer will be no different. here is a very early teaser of how the loading screen is looking, this has had 2 hours work and will require plenty more before i am satisfied, however I had an idea in my head and wanted to get a start on it before it dissapeared (like a fart in the wind)

I want to have the left side of the image with nice nurseryland things and on the right I want evil lurking in the shadows of the dark forest as little Boo looses his way ..

BooBer

I have created this blog for the c64 community to document what will be (I hope) a super new platform game, focused on a tiny little brown bear called Boo ! .

Boo has got lost in nurseryland whilst on a picnic with his parents. you must help Boo return safely home..
of course nothing is ever so simple, Nuseryland is also inhabited by some fairly evil nasties intent on harming Boo.

All level 1 background gfx have been drawn, using the APEX boys as inspiration there are color mixing tricks abound to create a proper arcadey feel :)

sprites have been started our here looks alot like this

do I continue ??? .. well you decide, feedback and encouragment are all i need
