CENTRON3D for Atari Falcon030 by RPC_GAMES!

[RPC_GAMES]

Hi Guys, I can't believe it's been 2 years since we created Centron3D for the Amiga. We now own an Atari Falcon030 and have decided the first game to be created will be our very own Centron3D. As we get familiar with the Falcons hardware we'll be attempting to use the Falcon's true colour mode in VGA 320x240x65536 colours or VGA 640x480x65536 colour mode for game play. Depending on the speed of the Falcons 68030 running at 16Mhz and the blitter running at 16Mhz we'll test to see if gameplay is playable in those graphics modes.  If it is playable then Centron 3D will be created in glorious 65536 colour mode, if not then the standard VGA 256 colour mode instead.
With the Amiga version we tried to create the game in the Amigas 4096 colour mode (HAM) but the sprite objects colours bled into other colours so the game was created in the Amigas 64 colour halfbrite mode instead.
Also our Falcon030 has 14MB of ram so there's a lot more memory for more sprite animations and Digital Sound FX. The Atari Falcon030 version will have a lot of extras in the gameplay.
So give us a few months to get it done. Thanks guys and Have fun .

Nice one Pete and thanks for your continued support on RVG, if we could get some exclusive access and details as you progress both us here at RVG will do some frontpage news and @AtariCrypt will do some I am sure on his site.

Hey Guys, thank you !!!!  As usual, you guys have the best support for programmers wanting to do something new for their Loved Retro machines.
@Greyfox: Thanks mate but it won't be compatable with Atari ST machines. Strictly Falcon 030 due to hicolour mode. 65536 colours.
@AtariCrypt: Thanks for your support also. I'd love for you to write an article or demo our game. Just let me know and I'll send you all the graphics and video links you need. Excellent support from you guys. Totally appreciate it.
@zapiy: It's been a while since we were on RVG due to us working on the RetroPC1010 project which is almost complete. Thanks for your support also and I'll be giving RVG updates and progress on Centron3D for the Falcon030 so a very big Thank you again for everything, also for past events as well. .

And too everyone else: This'll be a fun project recreating our Centron 3D game for the Falcon030. We still have all the graphics (in 24-bit colour TIFF format) stored away on a PC, so I'll be delving into that and definately adding more sprite animations as I wanted to do with the Amiga Version. The Falcon030 also has 16bit stereo sound and a nice sized harddisk so we'll be creating an intro soundtrack with real instruments (guitars, synthesizers, FX2000 Rack, etc) instead of using a Tracker MOD file.
