We Have Accidentally Stolen Your Bubbles by Gasman
Gasman of HOOY-PROGRAM has made this little 128b intro for the Outline 2012 party. No comments needed for this one, so go get it here.
nq/skrju Celebrates 30 Years!
The most famous ex-USSR Speccy chiptunist of this era, as well as a relatively well-known indie game music composer, n1k-o a.k.a. nq has turned thirty today!
JHCon2012 Invitation
Factor 6 invites everyone to take part in the all-new installment of the yearly JHCon, which will take place in Jindrichuv Hradec, Czech Republic! This year's event motto is "1K is enough", so the main focus will be put on the 1K intros. The rules of the compo can be read here.
Monochrome Issue 3 by Yerzmyey
A new issue of a ZX81-related magazine has been released last month, although it's better late than to never see it, right? So look it up here.
Among other stuff, a review of several ZX81 games and demos (mostly done by Revival Studios) and about ZONXplorer, a new TurboSound interface.
Lighter 3 and 4 – English Version
Thanks to Gasman, issues three and four, which were translated from Russian to English, are now available in .tap! Discuss these on the WoS forum boards.
Meanwhile, issue five is on the move!
Don't forget to take a look at the Russian originals, if you want, both downloadable here and there.
Strange Light Under My Bed by Yerzmyey
Ubiktune has released an all-new shortplay album by Yerzmyey this week. It includes only five tracks in the Berlin School genre mix, two of which were composed on ZX Spectrum's AY and beeper and then underwent some heavy post-production, like the other songs in there.
Brand New Game by Mojon Twins: Maritrini Starring The Fratellis
A more simplistic and a more humorous prequel to Maritrini: The Freelance Monster Slayer. Its' full title translates to something like Maritrini, Freelance Monster Slayer, in "The incredible misadventures of waking up with a hangover and Fred in your bed and having to get (more or less in time) to an audition for "Vigorous Monsters with Shiny Manly Chests" featuring The Fratellis. The gameplay is now based off Babaliba rather than Gauntlet.
Maritrini Andrews, a young actress, wakes up after a loud party in her mansion and needs to do her morning deeds before she goes to the audition of a new movie called "Vigorous Monsters with Shiny, Manly Chests". The only problem is: the things she needs for those deeds are scattered all around the mansion area, which is ridiculously huge, not to mention that her neighbors, the Fratellis, appearantly want to tear our heroine to pieces...
This is also a demo for the upcoming Super Babazoominator Construction Kit for ZX Basic, which is to be released in the meantime. As for now, you can get the game here and its' source code there.
Highlights From WAP-NIAK 2012
Okay, so here's a montage made of photos and videos from the WAP-NIAK 2012 party which has been mentioned a bit before.
It actually was an Atari party, but the good ol' Speccy wasn't left behind!
Next Castle Party — СПб, 03 Ноября
Третьего ноября в Санкт-Петербурге пройдет новое мероприятие — фестиваль Next Castle Party, основанный организаторами игровой и выставочной секций всем известного Chaos Constructions.
Лейтмотив программы NCP — игровая инди и ретротематика, но и демосцена не останется в стороне: помимо турниров, семинаров и выставки ретрокомпов будет представлено три конкурса на спектруме: 512 Byte Game, ZX Spectrum Graphics и ZX Spectrum Music. Работы будут показываться на большом экране с реального спектрума. Голосование по этим конкурсам будет проходить как на самом пати на листах для голосования, так и онлайн для всех желающих, в т.ч. не присутствующих на самом NCP.
Призеры получат дипломы и футболки с символикой пати.
Также на пати пройдет концерт восьмибитной музыки, организованный 8bit.fm, и есть вероятность что будет представлен новый блокбастер из Испании: игра на целый диск с каноничными заставками, боссами, финалкутами...
И, конечно, будет организована качественная онлайн-трансляция всего происходящего!
Правила конкурсов:
ZX Spectrum Next Castle 512 Byte Game
Игра размером 512 байт. Допускается как когдовый так и Basic файл.
Разрешено использование памяти до 128кб, а так же Beeper и AY.
В игре должна быть задействована хотя бы одна кнопка клавиатуры или джойстика.
Желательно предоставить RZX запись авторского прохождения игры (для демонстрации на большом экране).
ZX Spectrum Next Castle Graphics
Картинка должна иметь игровую направленность. Например, это может быть заставка к вымышленной игре, «скриншот» современной игры, если бы её сделали на Спектруме, или обыгрывание тематики следующего замка в рамках олдскульных игр.
Допускаются стандартные цветные и ч/б картинки, а также мультигигаскрин.
Не допускаются изображения порнографического содержания.
Желательно предоставить стадии прорисовки.
Желательно предоставить картинку в PNG формате 256х192 (для онлайн-голосования)
ZX Spectrum Next Castle Music
Музыка должна иметь игровую направленность. Например саундтрек к вымышленной игре (в этом случае желательно указать в комментариях для какого типы игры трек - стрелялка, квест и т.п.).
Каверы допускаются только на саундтреки из игр.
Допускается использование AY, Turbo Sound, Beeper.
Длительность трека не ограничена, однако на пати будет проиграно столько, сколько максимально позволяет график.
Работы принимаются по e-mail: vtcd@mail.ru
Brand New Game by Tygrys: Dziurak – Go To Hole!
To conclude the wacky, wacky, wacky WAP-NIAK 2012 trilogy, here's a game by Tygrys released there. Get it here, now!
Brand New Game by Ralf: Necrospermia
Now here's a game from the same series as Zbylut Owrzodzien. Neither its' storyline nor its' graphics are ever approved by ERSB, so I'll just give you a download link, as well as Ralf's thread on this game on WoS, if you're curious enough.
Although isn't that already obvious from the game's title?..
SL: The Offtopic Comments Cleanup (снова наезды)
Так, чем дальше в лес, тем меньше поступает комментариев по делу и всё больше от AAA и участников форума DLCorp (от LVD в частности), которых ну никак не устраивает нынешнее положение дел на нашем новостном ресурсе. В итоге фид с комментами оказался испорченным до такой степени, что в них, за редкими исключениями, есть только: 1) наезды на качество новостей; 2) наезды на то, что буржуи не умеют делать дельных продуктов; 3) наезды одного комментатора на другого; 4) жалобы на то, что большинство новостей сделано на англоязычных буквах.
Всякому флуду должен быть предел, но то, что фигурирует у нас сейчас, иначе как беспределом назвать нельзя. Хоть Heresy 11 делай из этого скандала, честное слово! Как бы то ни было, проясню несколько моментов.
Brand New Game By Yerzmyey: Zbylut Owrzodzien
It's pretty uncommon to see a game by Yerz, but this is the moment when he has actually released one, with the big help of Hellboj and Mister Beep! Like many other works from Yerzmyey, this one is so insane and crazy that it's not even worth describing... Just to not spoil the surprise!
The game perfectly works on 48K machines. Not only that, it spots some state-of-the-art AY music during the gameplay process.
TR-DOS Re-Cracks
It's been quite a while since this page has been floating around the Internet, but I thought it might be quite useful for everyone who uses DivIDE to games and programs, old and new.
Did you got stuck? You can't beat that one freaking boss? Sure thing, POKEs may help, but this nifty collection of trd-to-tap crack conversions will ease your job in case if you won't have Internet access or old Speccy magazines nearby. Not to mention the stylish cracktros and the fact that some of the games are either put together or "remixed" (a.k.a. modded or hacked to include new graphics and music, like Barbarian 128K from Bitmunchers).
Each crack can be downloaded whenever you press a "tap" or "z80" icon to the right of the game's title. Most of the cracks can be also previewed as soon as you click on the game's title itself. The on-site emulator will load the required blocks automatically then.
Knightmare 128K for TR-DOS
While not quite fresh news, SG Team has disked a relatively new port of Knightmare (which, to remind you, originally was on MSX1) for the TR-DOS, complete with the traditional infinite lives mode. If you're interested, you can download it here.
An All-New Frontend For Autosiril
Got tired of using the command line all the time whenever you converted songs from Autosiril? Well, this little proggy gets bigger and bigger following there on WoS Forums, so it's no wonder that Karl McNeil decided to fix this inconvinience.
So there you can re-download the usual Autosiril pack, with an all-new GUI wrapper/frontend program by McNeil.
