In that case, I look forward to an AbCard release of this game! Because then I might be able to buy it and play it on actual hardware! Unless someone can find me an affordable SuperCD unit...

Don't feel to bad, I am the game designer (See: Jungle Bros.: lord_cack's pet project! :).... though now it is undoubtedly and for the better of the project, definitely a team project) and I will have to buy a Super CD unit (probably a Duo RX) to play it.... else its Magic Engine for me....

This "max-level forum psycho" (:lol:) destroyed TWO PC Engine groups in rage: one by Aaron Lambert on Facebook "Because Chris 'Shadowland' Runyon!," then the other by Aaron Nanto "Because Le NightWolve!" Him and PCE Aarons don't have a good track record together... Both times he blamed the Aarons in a "Look-what-you-made-us-do?!" manner, never himself nor his deranged, destructive, toxic turbo troll gang!

Ootake.
Seconded, at least until the bugs have been worked out of BizHawk.

ParanoiaDragon

Yeah, I have no way to even transfer midi files to my PC, as everything I do is hardware like in ye old PC Engine days of yore, with mostly Roland equipement.....like Ryo Yonemitsu :D  Seriously though, I barely understand midi, I understand it enough to get by, let alone the fact that I don't know how to play piano, I just figure out in my head where I want to go, & gradually bust it out on the sequencer(...that sounds kinda wrong!).  Plus, I'd have to narrow down my umpteen number of instrruemnts to only 3 or 4 in PSG.  Probably 3 instruments, & then use a 4th channel for the beats, to leave 2 channels for all the sound effects....which may not even be possible, seeing as how some of them are pcm like the beats would be, & I deffinitly wouldn't want the beat cutting out :-k

And that's not facturing in the time to make the rest of the soundtrack, as well as making PSG versions......this game would be MSR all over again(in regards to how long the game takes to be released)...but entirely on my shoulders!  As cool as it would be to make chiptunes, I won't be doing it for a looooooong time, if ever.  I have too many projects in the works, & others I'd like to put into the works, to even begin to think about it.  

So, in other words, excuses, excuses, EXCUSES!  ](*,) :D

If a AbCard Jungle Bros were to be released, maybe get someone else to port the soundtrack to PSG (Arkhan! :D ).

Yeah, but Sanford & Son oviously won't be in the final game.  The Sanford & Son theme is what LC was looking for in what he wanted as the title screen.  My song should have some similarities, but deffinitly be a different song.

Do either of you have any ideas on a marquee or some other kind of info sheet we can use to identify your games at MGC? We just don't have the time to do one. I asked Rove but he's MIA at the moment.

I suppose it would be neat if the title screen logo was on the marquee:

I'm having some problems getting JB to burn... no idea why. MSR burned just fine, and AC burned great the other day. JB is being defiant.

Turned out to be an audio track that was too short... I fixed that and then it burned fine. Both games passed the hardware test with flying colors.

I won't be able to make it to MGC, is there any way I can get a copy of the demo to play when the time comes?

OldRover

frozenutopia.com/gamedemos.jpg

I'm all out of gold discs, so I can't make any more burns. If you want a copy of the demo, you'd have to talk to lord_cack, as he has the final say on this project.

I think I would like to hold off on a demo release for others just yet. I am pretty sure everyone is excited and when they get a chance to see (and play) the game, I think you will get even more excited for the project.

But, that being said, I would like to still keep it a bit "in house" for now. Maybe later this year, summer or so, we can release an ISO Demo. But I won't send out any other actual discs. I don't need demo discs up on EBAY for $$$ just yet  :P

Understood, I'll just have to wait patiently to play the game then. And yeah the ebay thing would probably happen, but don't worry about me being the one to do it ;)

mrhaboobi

id love to play the demo here in NZ, at some point if you do flick off a disk then i'd be keen to give it a go :)..  I agree the ebay thing would happen with some people, though as incrediblehark says, it wouldnt be me ;)

For the title screen, Lord Cack wanted something along the lines of Sanford & Son, & I have it planned out for the most part(assuming my song comes together as I planned), but since I haven't gotten to it yet(trying to just focus on level tunes....& there's ALOT of them!), we just went ahead & temporarily put the Sanford n Son theme in there.  It'll probably be one of the last tunes I work on honestly, but, we'll see how things go.  Maybe I'll plow thru several level tunes, & be in the mood to do the title.

Was thinking about this game today... Would be kinda cool if it was a Pyramid Plunder tie-in. You know, same character, different style game.

Just thinking "out loud".

ParanoiaDragon

I think LC tried to make some tie-in's to PP, but it didn't work out IIRC.  He did the gfx for both, & it would've been sweet to have the cross-breeding of FU & AB, but oh well. :(
IMG

Arkhan Asylum

Yeah, he did the tile art for the game.  but the whole Egyptian theme is mostly just a generic idea based off the many we thought about.

Couldn't Lootin' Larry be JB's second cousin or something? Having ties between the two would be cool. Make Larry a hidden, unlockable, guest character in Jungle Bros. =P~ His weapon could be throwing gold bars at the enemies. :P

ParanoiaDragon

Hmmm, maaaaaaybe that could work.  Instead of throwing boomerang's n' such like normal, he could throw gold bars or whatever.  I suppose we could have him look slightly different then the Jungle Bros., though I don't know how much.  I would think we'd mainly want to keep him the same size for the hitbox, unless Nod would want to adjust things moreso for Larry.

I think it would be nice if Lootin' Larry was at least referenced in Jungle Brothers...but being a playable character would be super duper.

[dos centavos]
I know Lord_Cack has many (if not all) stage artwork planned out...but I WOULD LOVE SOME SUBTLE VISUAL HOMAGES to Pyramid Plunder. Even something as simple as a LONE PYRAMID PEEKING OVER THE TREELINE/HORIZON in one of the stages. Or some of the power-ups/bonus items (found in hidden nooks and crannies) might reference Pyramid Plunder.

Anyway, I don't want Lord_Cack's vision to be diluted by Pyramid Plunder references, but I think it would be neat to incorporate them, especially since the assets to Pyramid Plunder are available.

[/dos centavos] (Which, at current market value, is far less than US $00.02)

This game looks great so far! Like a cross between Super Mario Bros (treasure boxes instead of question blocks) and Castlevania (whip and boomerang). Digging the music too!

Sorry to bring back this old topic, but Jungle Bros was looking awesome!. So what happened to it?.
Being a big fan of action/platform games, this game had me very interested.

Mathius

I still have my demo copy Rove made for MGC 2012. Should I give it a proper burial?

ParanoiaDragon

AFAIK, it's dead.  At least for now.  There may have been talk of someone else picking it up, like carrying over to Eponasoft, or maybe even Aetherbutt?  However, I haven't heard from Lord Cack in maybe a year or more.  Same goes for Rover & Keranu, haven't seen them around lately.  Plus, Rover was going thru some serious trials & trib's last I heard! 

A lot was done in regards of gfx between Lord Cack, Black Tiger, & Keranu.  And I'd say I finished most of the soundtrack(with a few songs from Odonadon that I jazzed up a bit, & 2 that I re-did from some of my bros. old trip hop material).  I actually stopped working on it when I lost all the memory in my sequencer(in the middle of jazzing up Odonadon's boss track), so I moved on(for now) to doing a rebook soundtrack for Bonknuts CD port of Mega Man.

It is what it is for now.  If it comes alive again, dope, if not, I'll just keep working on other stuffs. :/

Thats a shame. I loved the music from the Jungle Bros. demos, ParanoiaDragon. That was yours?, great stuff!

CrackTiger

Last I heard from lord_cack and Keranu, they were hoping to find someone to port it to iOS or Xbox Live Arcade or something in the meantime.
