Project MD: Official Thread

[Anonymouse]

Oerg866 - Totally amazing stuff here. This game needs to be finished.

[Oerg866]

I agree with you, Anonymouse.

I cannot really put in the music anymore, right now. I was in charge of the soundtrack, and I did one aswell, but: Sik and I are not exactly seeing eye to eye on each other, for reasons I shall not discuss here. Let's just say that I have offended him (not wantingly, but I did, and I could shoot myself every day beacuse of it).

I can only hope he will forgive me soon, because I really did enjoy working with him.

Cheers!

Just steering the conversation about Project MD from the Affinity Sorrow thread to here. I still say Project MD is awesome, despite it's simplicity.

Um, I have this art Chimpo made some time ago, but it isn't official and she even has wrong clothes (she wears shorts, not a skirt). It isn't even in the same art style as the game:

Yeah I always imagined her looking more like the chick from Space Channel 5 for the Dreamcast. I'm all for her being the homebrew macot, but I think before that happens Project MD should be done. The entire theme of the game is hardware/software and would be very appropriate for the homebrew mascot idea. However, if the game isn't finished no one will know who the character is, so that would be kinda silly. On the other hand if someone finishes it and it gets some sort of release it could be a nice symbol of Sega homebrew development. I think it's because of the whole "inside the computer" theme of the game that really makes it so appropriate for that purpose.

Official homebrew mascot? Not as long as the game is unfinished and unreleased. Maybe I'm a bit biased, but I think Edessot of Pier Solar would do better as a homebrew mascot right now :P.

EDIT: I should not post at 7AM after 3 hours of sleep Q_Q

Lol I think its a bit much asking for one the characters from Project MD to be a mascot for homebrew when the game was never finished. This way the character would relate with very few people. I think Edessot would be much more appropriate. I dont mean this in a overly critical way. Projecy MD is awesome and should be completed.

I played a couple levels yesterday... it's a nice game, for all that it's not complete. It's definitely a good start.

Has anybody beaten Mechanical Heart? =|

[Oerg866]

As Sik already introduced, I am in progress of converting the old SFX data to the new system and modifying PMD to accept the new engine and implement the music.

I hope I'll be able to give some previews when the time has come (if Sik is ok with that :V)

This is great news. You should make a website and take pre-orders :-). Im sure many people would be interested :-)

I agree with and second everything in this statement.

[Zebbe]

An advice, inspired by the experience of Pier Solar: don't take pre-orders until the game is in the final beta testing or completely done.

I won't take preorders until the game is finished, period. Not just to avoid taking preorders when the game may not be out, but also since I need to know the cartridge contents to know how much would it cost (I think it may be a 512KB ROM but I'm not sure, and I'd have yet to settle on which kind of memory it'd use for savegames).

Also I need a host so I can make a MD homebrew site, though then again I never settle on the contents =|

Sometimes I wish even big publishers would take this advice...

[Sik]

So, Project MD now is working on the new Echo, meaning it isn't playing sounds off a crappy broken sound engine anymore =P Thought I may say this.

Also I may release Echo soon... provided I find a suitable place to host the files and such =/ Echo isn't finished (current version is labeled 0.7), but it should be usable (more specifically: stereo works but isn't complete, pausing and global volume need to be implemented, otherwise Echo is pretty much complete). I need to get a Z80 assembler on this computer -_-'

[Anonymouse]

Great News Sik. Keep at it, im really interested in this
