[RELEASE] Stop Playing CAVEMAN And DINOSAUR!

[wicked_fable]

If you think pong.MODERN deserves a shot at first place in the RetroEmu.com Summer Coding Competition please log onto http://www.retroemu.com sign up at the forums, and state your opinion! I would greatly appreciate it!

Enough of pong.CAVEMAN and pong.DINOSAUR! It is time for the new kid on the block to emerge!

Ha, please excuse me for I am extremely tired and a bit light-headed or something from coding for 24+ hours(from 8;00 AM yesterday to 12:00 PM today) . Fixing bugs while you are sleepy is no good and frustrating....

The readme of the game has very detailed information about it so I hope you can check it out as I am all pooped out right now.

Nice Any screenies??

[BlackBurd]

sorry my psp is at a friends house today but ima get it back in about 2hours and im definately gonna play this

[wicked_fable]

Sorry I was too tired at the time to find a different Screenshot Plugin. The one I was using kept freezing the game so I really only have screens of the menus. I will upload one of the menu screens.

I can;t wait to hear feedback. I hope I tested it enough as I was very tired and still am so I hope I did not miss anything.

Thank you very much! I hope someone will take some time to make a mod with all their woon graphics and sound soon. I will be updating it soon to re-enable the music in pong.DINOSAUR(which was disabled due to crashing). It will run on the new Lua HM for the next release so everything should be pretty smooth by then(well only the credits mode is really slow).

Oh man! I just realized did I send out the wrong files for the records? All of the scores should be set at 0 besides the Frantic mode. Sorry if I did so.

[wicked_fable]

Heh, okay, I think everything is good with the Record files.

Anyway, in case anyway is having trouble with some of the controls here is the control list and I'll post it in the top as well:

START - Pause game.
SELECT - Exit to menu.
UP & DOWN - Move player 1 paddle.
TRIANGLE & CROSS - Move player 2 paddle.
LEFT - Player 1 taunt change(Luv Takes 2 only).
CIRCLE - Player 2 taunt change(Luv Takes 2 only).

Also, check out the great article by Karl B. on the front page: http://pspupdates.qj.net/PSP-homebre.../49/aid/123550 And you can now download from DL.QJ.NET at: http://dl.qj.net/pong.MODERN-PSP-Hom...3577/catid/195

Heh, please post your high scores in Frantic and any ranks you have obtained in the other modes. All of the modes(excluding Luv Takes 2) have different ranks that you can obtain depending on how many times you win or your high score so if you play enough to get some new ranks please tell me.

I will try to get the final version of pong.MODERN out within this or the next week so expect it very soon. Ha, thanks the the 98 people who downloaded the game so far(Box.net downloads + DL.QJ.NET downloads)!

Keith Nemcoff, the guy that did the EBOOT graphics, had done a different main image for the EBOOT before the one that ended up being released. Tell me what you think about it and if you would like it in the next release of pong.MODERN:



I picked the second design he made for the EBOOT image mainly because it had a silhouette of a city which, to me, really represented being modern more than the first design but I also really loved the first design so if you would like it in the Final release please tell me.

does anyone else also encounter their psp (slim) freezing when they try to quit the game?

anyway, this is a great game, especially when i can play it together with my girlfriend. thanks a lot!

The font is terrible... changing it to a more simpler one without an outline would be much better. I pick Arial (all caps, small font size) or Myriad (regular).

Hmm, sadly I do not have a slim, but I would also like to know if this happens to PSP users on slim. I have not encountered this problem, as of yet, on a phat PSP and I wonder what could be the cause of it on the slim.

Ha, yeah, Luv Takes 2 should be great to play with your girlfriend. I hope you guys enjoy the game.

Oh, yes, I wonder if anyone has noticed some of the taunts in Luv Takes 2 as being from another language. Anyone care to take a guess at what language those taunts are in?

[homemister91]

Sweat game Wicked_fable

[Rok_999]

I'm playing this on Slim and havent noticed any problems. Anyway great game Wicked_fable

[wicked_fable]

Thank you very much Homemister and Rok_999. I am very glad to see you guys like it. I hope ,with the final version, you will like it even more because I plan to add on a new mode and it will, of course, be running using LPHMv2.

Oh, wow, thanks man. I was thinking of going for two balls only, but then I thought, "Hey, this is Pong for the modern man! Three balls are needed!" Thanks you very much. I shall use that comment in a press release,

You Could try Ad-Hoc for the two Player Mode.

[wicked_fable]

Yes, the final version will have several new additions in terms of modes. I am hoping to get ADHOC in but, as I do not have a second PSP, I will have to rely on the help of others to create the mode. The next major console purchase I will be making will be a PS3 so it might take a little bit before I am developing ADHOC and wi-fi applications on my own. I am hoping to get a Paypal account up for donations to help speed things up though.

For now, I hope everyone will be satisfied with the several new modes that will be included in the final release. The exact number has not been pinned down as I am reading player-feedback to see exactly what kinds of things you guys like.

I am so glad everyone seems to like the game so far. This is really all that I could hope for after spending quite some time and quite a mad rush to finish the game.


Thanks everyone,
-Daniel

I've just been informed by some of my friends that they were unable to download the game from the dl.qj.net link. I believe it is due to their browser as they were able to download from my Box.net link. I'll repost the Box.net link here for those of you who might be having trouble downloading the game.

Again, thanks to everyone who downloaded. The final version will be up very soon. I am just working on converting the game to work with the new LPHMv2 beta and adding some new modes.
