We do get the distinct impression, however, that Commodore USA is flying by the seat of its pants. When we phoned Barry Altman this morning, he initially told us he wasn't Barry Altman. ®

Naah.. bound to fail again sad
If all c64 demosceners would hand in a few euros.. Time to put that brand out of misery.

I hate to be the party-pooper, but... The palettes are correct, but I think some of the animation would be impossible to achieve.

Np, good point - i heard that before. But i had this storyboard signed off by the programmers - they were able to do it, some minor adaptions here and there ofcourse. And yes - they are quite good smile

Hello,

I recently decided to stop this project, as the team work process didn't work out - and i realised it wouldn't see the daylight until 2012 atleast.
The artwork has been lying around 1.5 years now - so here it is wink

The music is also still a preview, done by Hein Holt.

Awesome! I've been getting some hits from indonesia on my blog - always made me wonder if chiptune/8bit-ness was alive there.
As my mom is originally from Indonesia - it should to be relevant to my interests.

"The Chipophone is a homemade 8-bit synthesizer, especially suited for live chiptune playing. It has been built inside an old electronic organ.

All the original tone-generating parts have been disconnected, and the keys, pedals, knobs and switches rerouted to a microcontroller which transforms them into MIDI signals. Those are then parsed by a second microcontroller, which acts as a synthesizer."

I love Spellbound.

SAM is on most machines iirc, it's short for Software Automatic Mouth, see the c64 version here: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=42843.
As of recent years more c64 composers have experimented with it, not by using SAM, but by using their tracker of choice.
(e.g. Jammer: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=38922 or randall: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/release/?id=38792 or hein: http://noname.c64.org/csdb/sid/?id=13907).
But this is by far not complete.. we better wait for goto80 smile
