Kung Fu Guns – new beat’em up

Jul 092016

Developing a beat’em up game for the Amstrad CPC in one weekend? Impossible! Impossible? Well, Francisco Gallego, Alberto Gonzalez and Jon Cortazar proved during the BitBitJam #3 that it is possible and released their game Kung Fu Guns now. In the game you play Sheriff Melissa Chase, who has to fight against a new chinese gang. It is a simple beat’em up with 2 levels finished, but they are thinking about evolving the idea and release a full game later. The game was developed with the great CPCtelera game development framework.

You can download Kung Fu Guns at the end of the news or from the BitBitJam #3 page. The latest version of the game is also available on GitHub.

Ha… you thought the plasma week is over? – Nope Smiley mit geöffnetem Mund ! Overflow, who just released his “Yet another plasma” demo some days ago, wrote a small technical explanation on how to create a rasterline-plasma and posted it on the CPCWiki forums. So if you are interested on how to develop a smooth plasma effect for the Amstrad CPC, that’s the way to go.

Kevin Thacker released a new version of his 2cdt utility. With 2cdt, which is a command-line utility, it is possible to transfer files directly into a cdt tape image file.

Changes:

Baud rate calculation fixed
Set/override load address
Set/override execution address
Set/override type
Define pause at start of file (length now can be defined)
Add extra block for bad arnold emulator which skips first block (old version)
Spectrum ROM loader (I use this for my tape games)
Set name of file on tape

The ZIP file contains the Windows version and the source code to compile it under Linux. You can download it here.
