OHR Multicart Compilation

Newbie Newtype · Post by **Newbie Newtype** » Sat Dec 03, 2016 6:20 am

I made an Action 52 font but I want to see if anybody is interested before I put up a game entry for it.

It is surprisingly not that bad after fixing some of the errors and changing a few characters for better clarity (example provided). Ironically the shading they added to the font in the original game is what hurts the font the most. While copying over this font, it felt like I was just making things up as I was modifying the default DOS font, which I suspect the Action 52 devs had done.

My own game will be using a heavily modified version of this font (not seen here)

Everyone should have to use this font, except for one game with bad engrish which inexplicably uses courier sans.

I just did some research and I think now it's more likely that the Action 52 font is a modified Amiga font (development was done on Amiga 500).

I went ahead and uploaded the font in the games section.

Also, courier sans from what I can tell is just the default font but with a couple of letters that are different.

It is definitely not too late! The deadline for all of the submissions is March 1st. There is still plenty of time (but don't use that as a reason to procrastinate).

Your premise is promising. I'm not sure what kind of game it will actually be though. RPG? Adventure? Puzzle game? Action game? Maze game?

Get to work and show us of your progress!

Monster Squad and The Running Man are great movies too.

OK, I've got 49 sound effects so far. It's been pretty fun experimenting with Famitracker, never really used it before. I figure I'll just release this, and if I do more later I'll make it like a Volume 2 sort of thing.

Again, feel free to use them in your OHR Multicart game, or any game, and feel free to modify and tweak the Audacity project file as you see fit.

Good, good, I'll get started on it right away then.

The idea I've having is that you go around the house collecting objects to defeat the 8 or so monsters running after you in the house. Whenever one of them catches up to you, there would be a fight as per the usual RPG style, but if you won the fight you'd only get cash and prizes, not any experience. So action strategy I guess?

Courier is my go-to font for non-game purposes, but for now I've got the OHR default font in Trytuges.

I could certainly switch to Action 52 and redraw my item icons again, since most of those were still the default anyway.

Just added the sound effects pack to the gamelist.

Wow these sound really good, and useful too! I like all of the little blips and whatnot, that sound like they're made for menu navigation and the likes.

Thanks, glad you like them. I'll probably keep working on more pretty soon, after I get a playable pre-alpha build of this game done. Which I'm pretty close to doing.

Well I got started on the castle. I was planning on just making an indoors version of the castle but I wound up having a lot of fun making a courtyard, moat, etc. so I'm going to have to make a second map for the castle's interior.

I'll definitely be using some of these on my game. A huge thank you for this!

If we find out that you and I used the exact same sound effects for our games, I'll change mine.

Hahaha I'm anticipating that you'll get around to adding sound before I do. I'm in the midst of finals right now. Haven't had a bit of time to work on my addition. I still have a lot of engine work to get going before I think about graphics and sound. I haven't even started implementing the actual battle system yet, just movement.
