Blackout!

Blackout, is a fast paced puzzle game that will be sure to make even the most patient gamer crazy. The project was started back in 2009 and has slowly
evolved over time (on and off) from what was a simple 5 level alpha demo to a full fledged Re-coded game.

The object of this game is to turn off all of the lit up bulbs in the least amount of moves and within the alotted time given. Blackout features such
power ups as the bomb to blow up things when you've had enough, and a clock to freeze the timer so you can think that next move over or grab yourself
additional time to complete the level.

Looking forward to the release!

hardly pushing the capabilities of the machine that!

Agreed. Probably suits me better than the Tube.

Quote from: "Minerals"hardly pushing the capabilities of the machine that!

Not really what puzzle games are about though is it :-

Puzzle games are a big plus for me so i look forward to more on this. 

Quote from: "zapiy"Puzzle games are a big plus for me so i look forward to more on this.

Me too. Thats one of the things I love about the Lynx, shit loads of puzzle games.

Exactly my point..

Hey everyone...

The game is at a slight speedbump yet again :/

Myself and my coder are arguing about the format of the release. There will be an initial release of 25 carts, with plans of an additional 25 if those sell. Then Im fighting to get him to build a CD version (90 copies or so) in the exact same format with mod music etc. That way there are plenty of copies out there before we release it to the public for free on the skunk.

Right now we are still rounding off a couple more songs (mod format is hard to come by as far as free or new usable music goes). The actual game is finished, however we are testing for bugs, and trying to make sure the game burns correctly to cart. WHich adds another dynamic because we aren't sure YET what the code difference is from US games to PAL?games... Uggg!
We are also making some sort of simple ending with the possibility of bonus material.

So thats that.

Another entirely different game is on the table after that. Tentatively called : ASO.
Of course if we dont scrap it... we have about a dozen ideas that are in the draft stages that we jump back and forth between. So indecisive!   

I think a CD version is a must personally. Far more profitable, better music and easier / cheaper to make.

PAL screens have more lines so the easiest way is actually just to add borders to the top and bottom that will technically be "off the screen" on an an NTSC system but allow the screen ratio to be correct on a PAL machine.

NTSC display = 720 x 480                PAL display = 720 x 576

If you need help with the testing then just let me know.

Yeah when we run it pal in the emulator, the upper top quarter of the game is off screen... Hmmmm

Quote from: "Jag_Slave"Yeah when we run it pal in the emulator, the upper top quarter of the game is off screen... Hmmmm

You can't really trust emulators which dosn't help either.

Great news here!

Burnt our first working beta copy on cartridge this week

Congrats fella, 

Thankya Thankya!

Now that we know how to do that.. You will start seeing a waterfall of images and news etc the closer we get to releasing.

Look forward to it!

I need to have a little chat with you sometime actually as I may have something very interesting for you to be part of . . . . .

Thanks for the update!

Can't wait!!! 

Nice one fella. I think this will be my first Jag HB purchase.

I hear this is basically finished now . . .

Awaiting an update!!!

Quote from: "The Laird"I hear this is basically finished now . . .

Awaiting an update!!!

Cool!

Great news. Hopefully hear some more soon then and maybe some vids?

BLACKOUT! Is officially released and ready for purchase!
 For the moment we only have 23 copies available (out of the planned 25 due to bad chips).
 If these copies do well, we will do a second release of 25 carts, and then a third larger release for CD. Followed by the free binary release!
 
Key features of the game:
 
• BJL Loader.
 Yes, that's right! This game can also be used as a development tool for aspiring coders!
 
• Game Box
 Printed in non-laminated uncoated cardstock similar to the original box style and designs used for old Jaguar releases. We went against the glossy boxes because lamination peels over time. This release includes original Atari bags, white cardstock inserts, and game instruction card. Each box is numbered.
 
• Game Features
 4+stages with over 40 levels total.
 Power-ups, a timer, pumping music by C-Trix, and some goofy extras.
 This game is more than just another lights out.

NOTE:
50hz PAL Mode is disabled in this release.  This is due to originally starting with buggy video code and finding this out much later in development. Reworking to accommodate PAL video mode would be more trouble than its currently worth at the moment, which would delay the release considerably. We apologize in advance for those using only PAL systems, however a 50/60HZ Mod switch will take care of this as the video mode for the game only runs in NTSC 60hz. If booted on a PAL machine it will display an error message informing of the swap necessary. Future developments have already had this issue resolved and should not be a problem.
 
We personally dont believe in releasing a certain number of hard copies and then not making it available to download for those that have missed out and causing people to resell releases for insane prices. Hence the free release later on. We hope this helps curb the issue a little bit...
 
Your continued support of homebrew development releases from ANY group will allow developers to continue releasing hard copies for those that would like them.
 
Check out website for a Paypal purchase link and please limit to 1 copy if possible so everyone may have a chance. If the link doesn't allow you to purchase anything, that means we ran out of copies.
 
Enjoy!!

Hopefully they are able to release a version that works on PAL machines soon. 

Just heard:

THERE WILL BE NO PAL RELEASE!

NO I AM NOT KIDDING!

Have to be honest, there is no excuse for this. Especially as the Jaguar sold better in Europe than it did in the US.

That sucks.  Well, I'm not surprised you have that many! 

Sorry guys no PAL is planned. Our fault, and mistaken coding on our part. We could make a PAL version now but it would take another 6 months I'm betting to get it out the door again. And we are just ready to move on to newer and bigger titles. Its such a small run (less than 100) that we cant justify it right now. Perhaps the free release will have it fixed but I wouldn't count on it. The issue is resolved for all future releases. Again, sorry for any disappointments. If you have NTSC, or a 50/60 mod, you can run the game.

Thanks to all who support us nonetheless! And we look forward to making more releases that meet all the standards that some may have missed.

THANKS!

Order for 1 copy placed. 

There is no way I am going to mod my console, Jag's are rare enough without mutalating it.

Couldn't care less about a free version, I am a collector and only want a physical product.

Just get a new TV?

Quote from: "zapiy"Just get a new TV? :o

No way would I ever pay that for a game.

Works our around £63 for UK buyers.  I bought a copy although not sure if one of my three jags is USA version yet. Need to check. Any obvious signs apart from ac adapter pins?

speaking of regions etc with the Jag (sorry if this is somewhat off topic) but my Jag was obviously PAL, and I got a Jag CD Drive that was refurbished from the US, so isn't the CD Drive an NTSC device? and if so, how the hell is it that all my pal games work?

What determines the region is the video output, which is in the Jaguar itself. The Jaguar CD is obviously running through this so is totally region free. The Jaguar console is of course multi-region anyway when it comes to playing games, until this release all games worked on all machines.

The power light is a different colour, green IIRC.

That price is still too rich, interesting how all those people who massively criticised Madbodies for being $79 are not so vocal about this.

Looks like there have been several folks complaining about the price, after all.  They've been posting explanations of why it is as costly as it is on AA and JSII.

I am very surprised more people havn't complained, well not in public anyway.

I guess enough have if they are giving explanations.  They also stated that support has been mixed, though more on the positive side.  Regardless, they did sell all copies of the game and are debating about doing the 2nd wave of 25 carts.

The thing is, when it comes to the Jaguar, you could literally have a turd in a Jaguar box and stick a nice label on it and sell 25 of them without even trying. It's a bit sad really that there are people so obsessed with this system that they will buy anything.

I am not saying Blackout is a bad game of course, far from it. I am just pointing out that selling that many is not really an achievement. The Tiny Toons Beta that was released on cart sold out in 3 days, and 100 of them were produced. It's barely even a game too and the packaging sucked.

 I agree with you.  Selling 25 copies is not such a huge accomplishment but folks will buy some of these only to collect them and sell the later at a premium.  I'm sure that's part of what drove the Tiny Tunes sale. 

First video, taken its time! Why they never made a video themselves I don't know   

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8ru_1sD ... re=g-all-u (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8ru_1sD2Jg&feature=g-all-u)

Yeah its a small run of games, but we will do several more. And if we start seeing them pop up on Ebay for ridiculous prices (regardless if we have a free version) we will do a run to undercut those guys that are ripping people off.
As far as the video goes, yeah we had an early beta test video on youtube. But we couldnt justify purchasing video recording equipment for game movies because we were low on funds. But here we are now. Theres a video up.

As far as next titles go??? Who knows. We have a ton of ideas and cant make up our minds yet. Drawing straws as we speak. No remakes of old games in mind, just an original title for once.

Should have just recorded it using an emu or a video camera, anyhow dosn't matter now.

Well as long as the next game actually works on PAL machines you might sell a lot more.

This was posted on AA a short time ago.  I thought I'd share it.  Unbelievable.

Sorry guys, we've thrown in the towel. We've decided to close up and call it quits. Despite the fact that we were going to release the rom file for free here shortly after a release of the 2nd run of carts and some CDs we found the rom file dumped ALREADY....
There is quite a bit more to the story beyond this as well as additional reasons, but  we won't get into much detail.

....Consider storm works interactive dissolved and dis-banded and all 3 current in development additional jaguar projects cancelled indefinately. Thanks to a handfull in the community for runing off another dev group yet again. Sorry it had to be this way...

SWI Team Signing off...

That's a real shame 

Who ever did this is an utter scumbag (I am pretty sure I know who) and well, I am lost for words really. It's utterly disgusting.

 >:(

I have to say though the messages of "support" from some of the biggest scumbags the world has ever known are cringeworthy and why Jeff chose to "trust" them is quite baffling in all honesty so I can't say I am surprised.

NOTE: Yes Reboot I know you are watching us, why I have no idea but whatever floats your boat I guess. I WAS NOT referring to you so there is no need for the paranoia, if I wanted to accuse you of anything I would have already done it using my account on Atari Age.

Shame to read what has happened. Best of luck to the guys and what they decide going forward.

Indeed.

I must say the story seems a little strange, I noticed that when I Googled it yesterday it was showing up on one of the ROM sites to download.

This was just posted:

I've talked it over with shawn and since we still have supplies for this game sitting around to make a few carts and CDs we will release what we have. once we run out, thats it.

The game has been updated a little bit in the back end but nothing visually that you would notice probably. I have also enabled "PAL support" based on the feedback of many, however its still not technically PAL. The screen dimensions are still NTSC height and width and with a bit of code that was brought to attention by zerosquare will force a 50HZ (pal) jaguar into 60hz mode without modification to the console itself.  The screen itself is a little pushed upward by about 20 pixels or so id say, so its not perfect but its not cutting anything crucial off the screen.  This isnt technically a perfect fix but it does make it playable on a pal console.  This might not fair very well on very very old PAL televisions however since the game is forcing the console to run at 60 hz and the older televsion may not keep up or like this...

I dont have a timeline on when these will be released, i do know that we will have some carts and some CDs available though.

Good stuff. Maybe these design houses need a new home.

Definitely a good thing and it is good that they've also addressed the PAL issue to some extent.  At least the game will be playable on PAL machines.

Sounds promising, I still don't understand why they have to bodge it though. Why not just fix the code?

Oh well, wait and see how much it will be this time I suppose before I commit.

If they want out I guess it's pointless spending hours of coding for no gain.

Ok guys, ive got 38 Jag CD copies of the game. We were shooting for 40 copies for CD but had 2 where the disc label looked less than satisfactory so we scrapped them. Im still waiting to burn all the carts here and then ill release a number of how many i've got.

Not yet.  As soon as I find out, I'll post it here.

Another short update. we have 21 carts for sale in addition to the 38 copies of the jag CD version.

Well no sign of them yet.

It's a fun little game for sure, just not sure if it was worth $100.00
Yeah it would be nice to have a CD copy too just for the collection but I think I will save the money.

That's what I thought, no way I was going to drop that much money on such a simple game - I paid £25 for Gorf when that came out!!!! 

I am waiting to see what they are charging for the CD version before I make up my mind on buying it.

The CD version should be much cheaper, no?  The cost of production is a fraction of the cost of making a cart.

Yes, SHOULD be

Looks like the first one sold.  I can't seem to find more selling just yet...

Dang, that sucks.  Shipping is really becoming very expensive.

Yeah it just gone up here but I could still post a DVD case to the US a lot cheaper than that!!!!

I am interested in buying one but its already late here and I don't really want to stay up all night refreshing the screen just to get one.

Scratch that!

I just bought the second one! 

Damn the exchange rate is good right now, just over £25 it cost me!!!

Quote from: "The Laird"Scratch that!

That price is way better and its tempting but I think I will just stick with my cart.
As Trek said let other people have a chance.

Glad you guys had the chance to get yourself a copy

Please remember that although the game runs on PAL, it wasnt meant to. So the game is still playable, but not quite centered right on screen. I know Jeff specified this on AA way earlier- but just reminding you guys.

Everything has been sold. Jeff has everyones address. He SHOULD be shipping things out tomorrow if all goes well...

Thanks for popping in and giving us the head up!

Centering doesn't really matter as this can be adjusted on the TV anyway, just glad you took the criticism on board and not only made a version that is PAL compatible but also a cheaper CD version too.

Look forward to reviewing it when I recieve it!

This was posted elsewhere, for those interested:

Final run of carts are up for sale on the site. This is the last run of carts and probably of any copies of this game. If you want one, i suggest getting it now.

Quote from: "The Laird"I got my Blackout CD today, I will post my thoughts later.

Same as fella. Looking forward to it.

Gave this a good play earlier, first of all here are a couple of photos:

(http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/230820121779-1.jpg)    (http://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z280/mrkizza/230820121790.jpg)

Firstly you will see from the pictures that the PAL version plays with a black border at the bottom of the screen, it looks bad at first but isn't as annoying as I thought it would be and I didn't even notice it after a while.

The first thing I noticed about this game was the outstanding music, I have only heard 4 of the music tracks so far but they were all excellent. In fact I would say this game has some of the best music of any Jaguar game out there! The second thing that struck me is how slick the presentation is, from the moment it boots up it seems just like a commercial release. From the menu screens to the credits and title screen it just all seems incredibly professional, a million times better than we have seen in other recent releases. Once into the game its self I like the way it has its own unique graphical style but I suppose I should talk about the gameplay! Blackout is a version of the old LCD game Lights Out, some people may even remember it as the pack-in title for the failed Game.com handheld by Tiger. Basically you have a grid of squares and some of theses are lit up. The idea is to turn them all off within a limited number of moves. The problem is that the lights are wired in sequences so when you turn one off others may come on. The trick is to try and learn the sequence quickly and turn them all off in as little moves as possible. Bonus points are awarded for finishing the round quickly and for moves remaining. And we all know that points mean prizes! Well ok power-ups in this case like one that freezes the time for you and another one that is rather explosive! All in all I found Blackout to be a really fun game and a great addition to the homebrew library of the Jaguar. The difficulty curve is just right and it has that unique one more go quality. If you are able to track this game down on CD, like I did, or on cartridge (it was released on both in limited numbers) then I recommend adding it to your collection.

Just so everyone (that purchased the final run) knows-

All cartridges are still in my possession. I am waiting on usps to send me my shipping boxes (which should arrive any day now). If they don't arrive by Wednesday, I am going to get off early so I can grab the boxes in person and have the games shipped out this weekend at the latest. Sorry for any inconvenience- this is a temporary hold-up.

Thanks

What's the best way to run the free Rom?  And cheers for the update.

Quote from: "zapiy"What's the best way to run the free Rom?  And cheers for the update.

Skunkboard or Emulator

Virtual Jaguar is probably the best emu right now.

Hey,

I believe the best (and probably only way to run  it) is by skunk. I could be wrong, but thats the only sure way that I know of thus far. I will ask Jeff if there are other ways like emulator etc. I do know it wont run on BJL or off a CD.

One of the Jagware guys was saying he had played it on Virtual Jaguar

Great!

Give that a shot

Best way to run it is on a real jaguar

Emulators might load it but i know for a fact in Project tempest emulator it'll show screwy graphics during the intro. Not really sure why honestly, but it doesnt happen on a jaguar.

Probably runs the fastest on project tempest anyhow...

Good to hear!

It doesnt have the ideal soundtrack we wanted in the game (cd audio) but it works.

Next game is definately more active and busy than blackout and loads of fun. shawn keeps playing the demo repeatedly already.

Probably my favourite thing about Blackout is the music! It is bloody fantastic!  :D

Next game sounds like great news! Looking forward to it!

I concur, the new game is already addictive for me! Fast paced and silly

Now as for the BlackOut! soundtrack, do you think there would be an interest in an mp3 album?? I have one- just curious if folks would want that.

Would be pretty cool!

Ahh nothing major really, Just a sound test. I figured since the music was being discussed i might as well let that one out of the bag.

Its all my fault anyway, we all know I am an evil super villian who despite having nothing to do with the Jaguar "community" (I use that word loosely) in over a year I some how used telepathy to make Stormworks see certain people for who they really are. My god I am a genius, I must find a way to use these powers for good ****MILA KUNIS SLEEP WITH ME*****
