    The main reason why ports take less time than creating a new game is that when you create a port, you know exactly what you're going to do.. in the case of a new game, you have to invent things first, then you have to implement them, test them if they work, and if not, change them and test them again.. this is the process that takes the most time..

      I loved PSP for it's ability to mix Vector and Bitmaps layers in the one image.
      I used it a lot and bought after Corel took it over I bought the latest version as it had some great features. It was unreliable and kept crashing. I didn't want to move to Photoshop so instead went down the GIMP/Inkscape route. Works for my simple needs but I do miss the workflow from PSP.
      Sidenote: I did an evening course on Photoshop after using PSP for a couple of years and it's workflow felt completely wrong. Kind of made me realise why people don't want to switch software as they know how to be productive with the tools they have and switching means unlearning all that and learning a new workflow.

    Awesome work. You have gone above and beyond to make that port as close to the original as possible. Btw. you should have a look at "TRSE" (Turbo Rascal Syntax Error). It's an IDE written by Democoders to create software for old systems (C64, NES, C128, ...) with a pascal like syntax. Much easier to code then assembler and most of the hardware-specific memory locations are also mapped to variables.

    This is a wonderful demonstration of some of the challenges and creativity that came with porting games back in the day. Nowadays the main consoles and PCs all have very similar hardware and capabilities, but back in the 90s two systems would have wildly different internals with very different capabilities. Some things straight up were not possible to port over and other things required getting creative. It led to some incredible pieces of coding as programmers worked to utilize every trick in the book to squeeze what they wanted out of the hardware available.
    The demoscene was and remains one of the coolest things to ever emerge out of coding. Pushing hardware limitations into an artform and creating some absolutely wild things. A personal favorite of mine being .Kkrieger. An FPS with some rather impressive visuals that fits in only a couple of kilobytes of storage!

    Nice work! A game I liked from my Amiga days that I recreated in part, was a Tetris style game where every time you completed a line, it reveals more of a background image. You move on when you have the complete image and get a new one. It was a fun way to do things. Some of the original images were designed so that, in one example, it looked like the sexy body of a female as the image was slowly revealed from bottom to top until get get near the top and realize, it's actually a candle and some of those curves were blobs of wax on it. Fun game.

    Excellent work. This game looks great and amazingly playable. Just goes to show, time spent programming vs playability isn't always a 1 to 1 trade-off.

    This was the video that introduced me to Xixit. Given it was released years before I was born, I of course had never heard of it, so this video had me curious. And now I love playing this game, it's surprisingly fun and addictive for such a simple game

    Also, David, maybe you could just slow the animation speed of the backgrounds to make them less distracting.

    It's quite amazing that you have gotten very nearly every the original 486 game running in a something effectively slightly less powerful than a 286, something more akin to a souped up Commodore 64 with an REU or SuperCPU.
    Albeit with a far nicer video card for these sort of games than was common for 286 systems, maybe something like an Amiga almost?
    And in just 4 weeks! On a system you had a very large part in creating. Your work ethic and brilliance is an inspiration, no joke.

    Btw - Future Crew built the first version of what would become Epic Pinball for the PC

    • @lasskinn474
      @lasskinn474 Год назад +4

      future crew morphed into remedy sort of.
      anyway who would become digital extremes wrote epic pinball, supposedly with some input from fc guys or something like that.
      plenty of demoscene coders ended up in the industry though

      Wasn't James Schmalz the one who worked on Epic Pinball? He had no affiliations with Future Crew, and end up establishing Digital Extremes.
      From the credits, FC's involvement is minimal.

    • @dru6809
      @dru6809 Год назад

      @@MakotoIchinose They had an unfinished pinball game demo. Tim Sweeney couldn’t convince them to join Epic, so Schmalz built a new version from scratch.
      Without the FC, I doubt that Epic would have built it.

    • @PaintsAreOp
      @PaintsAreOp Год назад

      AFAIK after seeing Final Reality, Tim Sweeney was so impressed he wanted to hire the Future Crew. They showed him a pinball game demo they've been making, but they didn't want Epic Games to finish it, so they hired Schmalz to make one from scratch. He did it in 9 months, pure assembly, while in college
