Any news?

yeah http://www.thedragonstrap.com/

Now that is some news! Awesome, can't wait for the big reveal and to get some more details.

So incredible that you are able to use the Wonder Boy name!

[chrisDeneos]

Congratulation, the game looks stunning and your trailer is awesome ^^

[Superb Joe]

now i'm not one to heap praise on people that aren't myself, but holy shit

[Omar]

So sorry everyone that we haven't posted much to this thread as intended. Since October I've been days and night working on it, it's been crazy. I still hope to publish more contents eventually! For now I am going to sleep..

Woah that looks something else! Amazing.

[FK in the Coffee]

I'm speechless. The dedication that you've put into making this game a reality is staggering, and the game itself looks gorgeous. Give yourself a huge pat on the back, seriously.

[sidbarnhoorn]

Wow awesome! This looks great following! Good luck with the development.

[gimymblert]

holy shit

[surt]

Yes.

[Manuel Magalhães]

holy shit

[Logbomb]

Wow, this is fantastic! Really enjoying the style of the graphics and the overall sense of fun. Great work so far guys!

[gimymblert]

understand the legacy

[MegaTiny]

Oh man I saw this on Eurogamer today and didn't realise it was you guys. I came here to see whether you'd continue with your own project regardless and flipping heck it's only bloody you lot isn't it?

Well done!

[DuskedSky]

That animation tho, it's beautiful!

So what's the deal with licensing the WB/MW IP?
Is this just a one off or will there be brand new MW games presuming this is a financial success?

How far along is development? Is the game-play footage in the trailer actually in-engine or just mocked up?

Also I do hope there will be an option to pump up the colourfulness of the graphics to SMS level garishness. Colours are a bit drab to my eyes as is, but still looks a magnitude better than Monster Boy.

Beautiful trailer guys! Nice to see you here!

[Omar]

Thanks everyone for the kind comments! Answering a few bits here.

Hard to predict the future! For now we are doing this one. The deal is in the hands of DotEmu/LAT so it's difficult for me to comment on it now.

How far along is development? Is the game-play footage in the trailer actually in-engine or just mocked up?

This all proper in-engine game-play footage.
I also would like to point out as with every game development it is still unfinished so we hope it will look better eventually.

Also I do hope there will be an option to pump up the colourfulness of the graphics to SMS level garishness. Colours are a bit drab to my eyes as is, but still looks a magnitude better than Monster Boy.

Wait and see

i'm afraid i have to ask the hard questions about the intricate technical and legal side of things:

1. will there be passwords?

2. what will the password WE5T 0NE 0000 000 do

[Omar]

1. I am trying, really! Not sure yet.

2. It will do this:

Code:

PSWD_OLD DB 'WE5T0NE0000000'
PSWD_NEW DB 'MKWHWBZTY3J0GP'

LD HL,PSWD_OLD
LD DE,PSWD_BUF
LD B,14
0100$:
LD C,(HL)
INC HL
LD A,(DE)
INC DE
CP C
JR NZ,0250$
DJNZ 0100$
LD HL,PSWD_NEW
LD DE,PSWD_BUF
LD BC,14
LDIR
0250$:
RET

Code:

PSWD_OLD DB 'WE5T0NE0000000'
PSWD_NEW DB 'MKWHWBZTY3J0GP'

Load PSWD_OLD into HL
Load PSWD_BUF into DE
Load 14       into B
label 1:
Load contenu de HL into C
Increment HL
Load contenu de DE into A
Increment DE
Compare C to above
Jump to label 2 if above instruction not 0
Decrement above if not 0 jump to 0100$
Load PSWD_NEW into HL
Load PSWD_BUF into DE
Load 14 into BC
repeat instruction
label 2:
return

I have no fucking idea what's that

edit: Oh it's freaking z80, there therefore a lot of non sense in the translation lol
