The Next Penelope (2D F-Zero / Ulysses 31)

It's been a long time since I've tested it on my Galaxy S4, to be honest.

A few months ago, it was running OK-ish, like 40fps with some hiccups.

Oh, and if you want to read about the mode 7 shader adventures, it's here! : )

Well, considering the game hasn't been built with mobile in mind, I'd say it's impressive. What about shaders? Do they translate well?

I've been adding tons of new shaders + content + new optimizations as well, since I launched the game on mobile for the last time.

Honestly, I have no idea if it runs like a game or a slideshow today ^^!

I'll try again in the next weeks as soon as I get a bit more of free time

Ahah would love to see it on mobile, as a test at least.

Since you answered my tweet about GC already (with PC/Mac being smooth and WiiU a bit...different). Any trick you can share you have used on such big game?

That would be very pretentious to give people some advices on how to make a game with C2.

This is the very first time I'm using it, I'm afraid to share a lot of wrong advices.

A few things:

Playing with the scale quality was very effective.

Making separate eventsheets for every aspect of the gameplay (IA, HUD, Bosses, Visual Effects, Music, etc...) + one eventsheet by level makes the code easy to modify.

And "trigger once" is a life saver.

...And I guess that's it, I'm sorry.

I've played enough with C2 now to be aware I've done MANY things the wrong way, and should I start over, I'd pay way more attention to the very good guides published by Ashley on the website about optimisation etc... : )

your game looks gorgeous.

did you tried it on tablets?

Thanks a lot : )

About tablets, not recently no.

I'll think about mobile and tablets in a few months, for now I have to focus on the main version.

Any test or beta chances?

I just saw this, it looks amazing, keep up!

It got weird, fast.

At least Aurèl got the donation counter going up quite quickly. Good job on being an overall nice guy, the chat loved you

Wow, that mode7 -twist is brilliant.

TNP is a good example what C2 can do in the hands of a talented pro, super nice work!

danuyos — thanks a lot! : )

piszozo Playtests are frozen for now, but I'll run some more at the end in a month, so, yes, send me your e-mail if you want to get a buggy game for christmas! : )

alvarop Kyatric Haha, so you actually were watching this desert bus thing ^^!

To be honest, I'm quite proud of this, we got more than 27.000 euros for charity at the end of the day, which is pretty cool!

Also, the game I made in 30 hours during the jam is sold in a Desert Bus for Hope bundle (also for charity).

You can have a look at it here if you're in the mood:

Well done Aurel
