  • Rewriting old player movement code

    In my first and previous post in this game dev log entry, I had written that I wanted to do a game which was a collection of simple retro games. Unity released a new major release (2019.3) while I was putting the initial project together, and I…

  • A long, long time ago, I was a pixel artist

I think I mumbled something about bad Transformers games in the past (there were two on the C64 if I remember correctly. An aweful platformer, and also an adventure game?). The potential for a great game making use of the rich characters and the transforming robots/vehicles idea just hasn't been realised, which is a shame.

Infogrames Melbourne House are working on Transformers Armada, but there are some pictures of a Transformers game (made in Japan I think) which is looking very cool. Click if you're interested..

Souri: yup, there were indeed 2 games on the C64, the awful platformer which I still spent hours on because it was transformers, and that pretty kewl adventure type game - it was a bit of a mix between adventure and strategy if I remember correctly.

I'd like to grab the game designer of that Transformers platform game and ask him "what the hell were you smoking?!".. It commits one of the biggest sins in game design - spawning you all the way back to the beginning when you die. [:)].. Oh, and that you could get killed instantly by flying into stairs (and they were everywhere)..

I got the Transformers Movie on DVD the other day, oh it takes me back, I still liked it, but man the music aged so badly. I wish there was a music off option.

Yeh, there's 80's big-hair screeching cock-rock music aplenty.. [:)] The animation has held up pretty well, considering how old the movie is..
