Es un "easter egg" que sólo aparece en el juego si tienes la 32X, una tontería

Creo que leí en sus foros oficiales (que nunca está de más echarles un ojo, por cierto) que estaban imprimiéndolas también, pero no me hagas mucho caso porque no me interesaba la guía en su momento y no me estoy mantieniendo tan al día

Dice q lo va a buscar por casa y tal, pero me veo q me la ha colado.

Y... ¿eso tiene algo que ver con Watermelon?

Hi There,

Lot of assumptions here. Who said there was some bad news? There is no bad news, just hard work here.

Last month I've been on & off to factories for Pier Solar things but didn't stop me to work every day on the games. Working from factories means no internet access, in case it's not clear.

If it's not enough clear yet, PY is aimed to be the best & biggest beat them all ever made. As said before, we could slap the game out straight away but it takes a extra mile to make it clearly superior to anything yet released. The team of PY is composed of several talented individuals who are focussed on their work, any minute matters.

There was some staff dedicated for communication at WM but it didn't go well, that's a fulltime professional work to communicate, we already talked about it on another thread. Working on a game and looking daily at social medias about talks about that game would turn anyone depressed in matter of weeks, I'm not sure everyone realize those things need a clear split.

You can be assured the rest PY team is working hard. Few things that have been in progress last week :

- Improvement in sprite pixel art, more crisp.

- Extensive work on optimizing the most critical part of the game into Assembly language. Means we are further away from the impossibility of any framedrop, the engine performs nearly two times better than SOR2 & 3 engine already.

- Gameplay checking and bug fixes (if any).

- Added smoother color palette fades (unseen on any MD game).

- Checked 240P mode in 50HZ, all is flawlessly working, no time was wasted fixing anything around.

- Packaging refinements (the best MD packaging to be ever made, mandatory for the best beat them all ever made), sorry for anyone disagreeing.

There are some difficulties, but that's normal.

No longer than a month ago, we also entirely swapped a level, means new tileset, work and boss clothes changes. That's over +80h of work shared between three people.

I'll post some WIP pictures shortly along with a newsletter.a

Thanks for your patience.

Fonzie

That’s right folks this thread does exactly what it says on the tin.


This is where I step in. As work on the official guide has finished I now have some free time and due to my time working on the guide I still get to have the odd quick conversation with some of the guys at WM about how things are going. I'll relay some of this information to you guys and to keep you updated on the progress of all the projects you guys have invested in. I will do my best to provide some sort of update once a week. These updates will be short and sweet unless there is some huge news to tell. Anything I relay here will be as much as I know which means I most likely won’t be able to answer any questions about it, but hey, it’s better than nothing, right?

First things first.....

Project Y has been going through bug fixes. Some minor bugs have been caught and squashed, as well as some slightly bigger ones. There was even mention of problems with cockroaches!!!!!! Yesterday a colour bug was found which was a clear mark of memory corruption, but fear not, today it was traced to the source and exterminated.
Animations for anything that can die or kill, like enemies, barrels, weapons etc are being checked over to be sure that they are all consistent and precisely timed. With over 200 items in the game this is a huge task.
Work for optimising sprite routines is still ongoing. The processing speed for sprites is improving everyday and look to set a new benchmark for the MD.

That’s it for this week folks. All being well I may have some more updates next week

Peace.

Hi guys, I have a cool little update for you today.

WM are continuing to upgrade and improve the sprites in Project Y!

The sprites in PY already looked amazing in my opinion but it would seem that WM are confident that they can improve them further. Luis (XGoldenboyX) is currently updating the pixel art for all the main character sprites while another member is updating the pixel art for what is sure to be a very popular enemy.

To understand what this might entail, check out this exclusive, never before released image of one of the sprites that has been improved.

This image is a before and after comparison of a sprite that was improved. As you can see the original is a little grainy and unrefined. The improved sprite is a lot cleaner and more precise and will look a lot sharper when displayed on your TV.

I for one cannot wait to see the rest of the improvements, especially those for the main characters.

Hi all

here to give you a small update on PJY, Character art animations are mostly done, currently working on finishing the cinematic screens. Also Fonzie is in the final steps if getting the sound code working and more permanent.

We also added a new enemy to the game, a Bomb throwing guy ; ) Currently being animated.


As for anything MGF, I`m as much in the dark as anyone else, but I was informed from Fonzie that its still under work. And shipping for PS is on its way, was held back in US customs but should be on its way.

On Bigger NEWS ... we are underway and planning our next Big trailer in the months to come.

thank you and take care !
