Can you explain the game mechanics: How do you gain speed, or lose speed?


The only way to gain speed (other than the green powerup) is to point the plane towards the ground, while the only way to lose speed is to point the plane towards the sky (there are no other tricks, I swear!). That idea ...

I had missed this contribution until now, and it looks great! Looks very impressive for someone who considers himself/herself a "novice developer". I mostly agree with the feedback from nocash:

The up=up/down=down controls are confusing for airplanes (think of how real-life airplanes are ...

The HBRW_000.01 naming scheme could be an interesting idea, but everyone would end up accidentally mixing serial numbers without a strong central authority (like Sony).

I've updated MPA.7z and instead renamed the exe to "MZXTUELK.001". The naming scheme is <AUTHOR>.<GAME#> which should work more ...

I guess I should've gotten more feedback from more people other than my mom. I still consider myself a novice developer and I'll do my best to improve. Thanks for the critique, nocash

For lighting: I can't see any lighting, neither gouraud shaded, nor flat shaded. Especially the tubes would benefit from lighting (or from more colors in general, like using different colors for floor/walls/ceiling and perhaps different brightness for near/distant sections).

How did you manage to ...

Thanks for the feedback Shadow! The reason why many of the levels are low resolution is because each level utilizes only one texture page, which is an engine-specific issue I need to fix. Regarding the framerate, I'm not sure if I'm skilled enough to achieve a stable 60fps, but I'll try anyway for ...

I'd personally prefer a more subtle camera that didn't move as much, but the smoothness of the camera itself is nice. The game's fine so far!

I have these tileset images that I would prefer not having to split up into several smaller 256x256 subsets. If i understand the psyq documentation correctly then it is not possible, but I've seen some hints here and there in other projects that it is.


The 256x256 limit is a hardware ...

Welp. Was hoping the build process would be quick and dirty, but unfortunately it is not. Found a version of the compiler toolchain bundled with the runtime libraries v4.6 that runs correctly under DOSBox, but I could not find the libraries the devs were actually using themselves. I assumed it was ...

Decided to give it a shot. Seems like it's possible to build it using v2.6 of the psyq runtime libraries, but for some reason the compiler spits out "Software Data Key, or Network Manager not found or present." I'm guessing this is an authentication check?

I've also had the same issue with mc32 producing a .STR with video playing slightly faster than the audio, but I couldn't figure out what the hell I was doing wrong and gave up

Set LEAP SECTOR to ON . Enabling this will cause the PlayStation to drop frames in order to keep the audio synched as ...

I'm at a loss here. I may be using the wrong options in ffmpeg, but I don't even know if that is the case. Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Perhaps try using a much older version of ffmpeg? Maybe the ffmpeg devs changed a few things around that made it not work nicely ...

From what I understand, first, each GsCELL is basically just a pair of UV coordinates. You'd make a 1-dimensional array of these GsCELLs (or use a CEL file), then have your GsMAP.base member point to the aforementioned array of GsCELLs. Each element's index in your GsMAP.base array designates a ...

This game shows a lot of potential! Hope to see more of it. Try and do some solid polygon shading (unless you want to keep it wireframe based) :)


My plan is to try flat-shaded polygons first (with some tricks), and if it still looks icky, switch to wireframe. The final result won't push the PS1 ...

Looks cool! But apparently, you seem to have forgotten to provide the atd_export plugin script for Blender.


I used to store the code for all my blender 2.78 scripts on my formerly deleted website, but I've now reinstated the site under a different host so you can now view the scripts here ...

Set the "base" member of your GsMAP to point to wherever you stored your CEL file in memory, then set all the other members of the GsMAP accordingly from a BGD file. It's best to check the associated sample in psyq because I've only glanced over it. The sample is called "BGSAMPLE" and is located in ...
