Hi all

i thought that i better have to sign up here (nearly impossible to do) since i am in the process of doing a MM remake for the Atari ST.

 

most of the game is finish, i do still miss the sunbeam on level 19, and some sound FX.

my friend Steve at ataricrypt have made a little Article but it 

 

you can find it here, i think it will be finish around X-mas

he also posted some videos of it....

 

 

 

 

ps. sorry for my English, not my strongest side

Looks great, but I see problems in how you have animated Willy.

The picture shows the four phases of Willy along the top (original)

The middle row shows the four phases as far as I can tell from your version (These are poorly scaled screen grabs)

The lower row is how I would correct the the animation. E.g. by editing the 2nd phase of animation.

The problem that I see, is caused by Willies hands not seeming to cross over the side of willies body.

Hi 

Thx for the input

i can see what you mean, i had some problems doing willy.

problem with it is that the original is in BW so some changing it to color in not always easy

 

 

first row original

3 row current sprites

you are probably right that willy should look more like row 2, but i just think that willy gets to fat so i removed some of the body, but as you can see the hands should be around the same positions.

 

but  i do see you point, but i also spot the problem in the original MM, only thing to do is to add a 4 willy animations.

 

look a movie attach..

Leave the animation as 4 frames in both directions (as originally)

I have edited the picture file to show the hand position in frame 2

 

 

Matthew drew the original in one colour, this edit whilst not exactly following what Matthew drew, will look correct.

 

(I have not yet watched the video)- but I am in the process of going out, and will not be back at a computer till much later today.

That looks very good indeed! Will follow progress, thank you for sharing the information with us!

 

Am sorry to hear you have had issues actually registering here, I do plan a change on this actually at some near point to hopefully simplify it a little bit.

I fixed the math results, although they did "pass" when I tried them, but I could see a potential problem especially for those for whom English is not their primary language.

 

This time there's no doubt as its not shown. I registered correctly with a normal combination, FB and TW register can be slightly off sometimes but its due to external factors unfortunately, I might actually disable those. At least you're here now!
