FX-Unit Yuki: The Henshin Engine for TurboGrafx-16/PC Engine

OldRover · 05/13/2017, 07:00 PM

There is no parallax in any part of stage 04. The original Bonk games really didn't have any anyway aside from the tower in the very distant background in like... one stage.

Bonk's always been pretty straightforward and utilitarian in its visual presentation, relying more on gameplay than glitz.

So the general consensus from the Lvl Up Expo is that the game is pretty challenging... it's way too hard for your garden-variety casual but the experienced gamers are having a good time with it.

Does it parallax though? ;3
Ha, I think you have the same obsession I have with paralax!

Oh I do xD
Especially when I know the system only has 1 BG layer ;3

I see... Oh well, it still looks nice anyway ^^
Good job!

CrackTiger · 05/14/2017, 01:13 AM

There will likely be a couple dozen scenes with parallax.

OldRover · 05/15/2017, 10:33 PM

The next stage is certainly loaded with parallax...

I like the bonky looking tank/car.

This might not be be the right place to ask but...
In the store is the download version a ROM, ISO or intended as a PC download?

OldRover · 05/18/2017, 09:38 PM

I dunno if Saru is going to do a download version for the original (I think this is going to be CD only, not 100% sure though) but the PC version will definitely be a download version. I think he also wants to do a retail package with a CD as well though.

sirhcman · 05/23/2017, 02:00 PM

Release date has been delayed to August 2017 per unnamed sources

spenoza · 05/23/2017, 03:13 PM

A mysterious individual has delayed your release... Vexing. I hope things are going well, otherwise.

CrackTiger · 05/23/2017, 03:19 PM

There was an update video that I believe is in this thread, which talked about the delay to greatly expand the game. The new date should just be official, as opposed to what was said earlier which I believe was an estimation.

I think that anyone who is already interested in the game will still be blown away and appreciate the revamp as well as the unrevealed content.

elmer · 05/23/2017, 03:26 PM

Perhaps they've received an offer from PCEWorks for the publishing rights!

Tobias has already stated that he can only afford to spare $1 per set, as he doesn't make any profit from his releases and is simply doing it for the love of it.

If it gets delayed again (which is unlikely), it'll be my fault. We're all working hard on this but most of the focus on completion is on my shoulders now. THANKS OBAMA!

So I'm guessing there won't be any progress on Lucretia until this gets released? Any ETA on that? I've already pre-paid for both so I'll be happy to receive something, just wondering where that game stands.

incrediblehark · 06/04/2017, 11:29 AM

Same situation as roflmao, prepaid for both games. Willing to wait (obviously) but also curious of the status.

I am holding both of your copies of Lucretia.

I will send them out when I finish tasks #1-69 on my to-do list.

Thank you.

^ Jajajhahahhahaha.

Indeed.

OldRover · 06/05/2017, 11:00 PM

OK so here's the deal on Lucretia... since the code is already at 100% and just requires sprites, Sarumaru is going to work on those as soon as the PCE version of Henshin Engine comes to a close. It will take approximately one month to complete. In the interim, I will be finishing off the PC conversion of Henshin Engine. Thus, Lucretia and the PC build of Henshin Engine will be finished at roughly the same time, approximately one month after PCE HE goes off to the pressing house. From there, Lucretia goes off to press and the source code to the PC build of HE goes off to the various other developers who will be converting the game to other platforms.

There will also be a PC build of Lucretia, using the same game engine as the PC build of Henshin Engine. ERGE, as it's called, is a very flexible game engine built in-house at Eponasoft over the past few years and can accommodate a wide variety of game systems. It will likely be used for all future PC conversions of Saru Studio titles, including Oni Island and Gods Of Lightning. Speaking of Gods Of Lightning...

OldRover · 06/20/2017, 11:29 PM

Just so everyone knows... there will likely be no more screenie postings or updates on this until we are finished with the PCE build, as we are on the final stretch of development right now and any such postings will just be a distraction. The deadline is rapidly approaching and we still have plenty to do, but we'll make it in time.

esteban · 06/21/2017, 07:12 AM

Good luck.

I don't mind waiting.

I'll play some Shubibinman in the interim.

I'll play with myself in the interim.

In henshin engine the character plays through a variety of levels which are each a parody of a TG16 game. The screenshot in your quote is an image of the Lords of Thunder parody level.

BTW BT - shit's look great! Good luck finishing out, I am sure you guys will glide this sucker in smooth!
