Ok heres the short version of this story... in 2022 i started to fix things in this game since i was layed out with multiple surgeries...
in early 2023 i lost the drive where a 1/4 of whats listed here was saved... and on early July i stopped by to say hello to some folks and got the itch again lol
i popped in the HDD and went at it... took like over 10 hours and i was able to recover the work i started in 2022... and here i am on a mission to
upgrade just about as much as i can on it, specially animations for levels and colors... yes gotta love the newer amount of colors we can now use as opposed
to when this game was released.
So it wont be super improved in mechanics, some new stuff was added and is listed below, bust mainly to just bring the game up to date so it can be played without issues in newer engine and just a very much more colorful experience and not all broken down as time went on... was gonna uprez but it would have been way to much work with the amount of time i have to work on it so i kept ot at 320x244...while still getting good results xD
most backgrounds will have more animated stuff in them.
when ready, will release it including ArcCabView for bezel purposes as it has more options for crt effects management.
always open to ideas so feel free to post any along with any input.
levels up to 7 have been done next are 7-1 and up xD ...i know on the list below it goes past that, but those are mainly animation fixes and not redone and or color saturated or fixed....will see what happens as i get there, i still have to clean up some stuff on the new stuff posted here as ive gotten very anal about artwork over the years >_>

Added more sounds to the Player characters... sounds more diverse now IMHO.
Fixed Rocks running attack, added a kick attack at the end with knock down... before it didnt knock them down.
Fixed the secret characters not working as intended due to the game being so old, they now unluck after defeating them
and you are able to use them for the rest of the game... Thats level 5 through 10 only.

Code:
Boss battle areas are twice the size with movement in both directions added.
Level 1 redid this to gain way more colors than before plus changed its music.
Level 2 completely redid the level to better match graphic style and Eliminated level 2-1 as the boss area is the same in size, making this level unnecessary.
Level 3 added a new train and completely redid the old train, much smoother now as it is just 1 image instead of 35. Also added quakeframe to them.
Level 3 this was 90% changed / redone, it now has more layers added to the background.
Level 3-1 this level was completely changed for a far better one and it kinda fits better with the level 3 and boss level.
Level 4 and Boss stage background is now animated and more color saturated.
Level 4 Boss Mai now Spawns further out so it wont show her falling from the sky (lol oops)
Level 5 Saturated Colors.
Level 5-1 background animations where hidden, now thats fixed and the animations show, plus Saturated Colors.
Level 5 Boss stage: Adjusted Boss and enemy spawn coords, they will appear on screen sooner.
Level 6 replace and resized the front panel, turned it into animated lights.
Level 6-1 background is now animated.
Level 6-2 Removed as its the same as the boss level which again making this level unnecessary.
Level 6 Boss complete redo with background animations.
Level 7 Complete redo plus added animations.
Level 8 changed to go both directions, fits better since its implied that the next level is through that door on the level.
Level 8-1 Is now animated :)
Level 8-2 fixed the mess with the curtains, now its properly set to act like a front panel with transparency, again beats me >_>
Also cleaned the jagged edges on it as well.
Level 8 Mr.Q Boss music was changed to KMFDM - Ultra ;)
Level 9 Boss stage: the idea was good, but it just didnt look right >_>
Adjusted moon traveling speed and changed the background for a better one.
Added new game mode "Vengeance Party" after beating the game, it keeps complete roster unlocked.WIP and or wish list:
Code:
All cut scenes including intro, and level titles with correct spellings xD... unsure on which way ill do the cut scenes yet tho.
victory animations but cant get them to work smfh.
Pause menu guide, this has been a pain so am leaving it for last.
Possible extra character for when vengeance party mode is unlocked with story integration.
Thinking of new lifebars to accommodate a 3 player mode and also be able to have bosses lifebar on screen at all times
by using a long lifebar, as it is atm theyre to big for the resolution am using...maybe second to last on the list.
Looking at different font styles.
Want to be able to tell what color am choosing when i die and chose to continue, as it is the icons are only mapped to main character color,
probably an easy fix, just haven't looked into it yet.
am sure more will come to me as i keep at this, so much in my head... but making them work is a different story tho lol
