Help request: MOTAS64
I have a dream of porting the first one or two levels of MOTAS to the C64. But although I have an very early non-interactive preview I might run into my own assembly limitations.
I have converted some graphics to the C64 format, but these might need to be improved. I tried to convert the original music but I gave up for now as that wasn't going anywhere.
Maybe some people are willing to help me realize this small game as I personally think it is possible to at least port level 1 to the C64. I hope some programmer / musician and graphician is able to help me out. I can always use one of my old musics for the music but it's nicer to have a real conversion of the original soundtrack. The graphics might need some tweaks and improvements although I think they are pretty true to the original already. Programming seems to be the biggest problem atm.
You can view some screen shots and very early preview here:

WOW, looks like a great project! Good luck with it! If I wasn´t involved in, like, a million projects already, I would consider volunteering for some graphical work... :/ |

Tried some MOTAS and loved it. PM me in the future if this project needs some quirky music (one tune per level?) |

See! I told you, that you would easily be able to implement this! Listening to you, you made it sound like it would take ages to implement. I think you underestimate your skills by a factor 10 or so. :)
Good work!!!

Looks good :)
Before you go any further, I'd advise to optimize the code you have now, and make it more general at the same time.
F.e. now is the time to add a loader system, a mouse driver, a good packer/depacker system and maybe a buffer system to store rooms/areas that are next to the one the player is in now.
Oh, and most importantly : to make it easy to maintain and add extra rooms/levels. |

Ooh, this is nice, a point-&-click adventure!
If you ever need a beta-tester... PM me :-)
As a matter of fact...
The routine to display the text at the bottom line needs some improvement, as is flickers. |

Keep up the good work! A bit of advice is to now consolidate, document and tidy all of the code you have so far so it is easier and quicker in the long run to add extra assets. It is also easier to spot and fix bugs if you have more common code rather than lots of copy-paste code everywhere. |

I'm sure Logan has a grip on it :)
From he moaned about the impossibility to have hotspots (click zones), till he had made it work, only took 1 hour..
I'm now nearly done with the 3rd tune.. (there are 6)
It fall in a nearly empty space in HVSC: it's jazz! |

Yup :) But not as boring and frustrating as hacking badly documented and copy-paste code later on. :)
