30.01.2024 TURRiCANOS • Game Project • WiP As already seen in the shoutbox, a while ago I received an email about a promising new Turrican-Project, currently named "TURRiCANOS": "Hello, About two years ago I started working on the Turricanos project. And now, after two years, I'm coming back to it again because I had to put it down at the time. I have created a development log at the https://forum.godotengine.org/t/turricanos-game-project-wip/34664 I would like to finish it this year. Most of the work on it is already done ( levels, enemies, etc. ). I'm currently putting it together and remembering how I did it all two years ago. :) I'll post progress and how the project is progressing at the above address. So I'm answering the challenge on your site, I've been following your site for a very long time and I'm a big fan of Turrican since the AMIGA and C64 days. " It´s an attempt to remake Turrican 1-3 into one, apparently written in the Godot-Engine and already features some tasty particle-effects. Follow it here: https://forum.godotengine.org/t/turricanos-game-project-wip/34664 Bonus: there´s a really nice Turrican-Piano cover hidden in die comments on this page! | ||||
15.10.2023 The Piano Collection - Volume II - The Players Choice Chris Huelsbeck just released a new Piano Album on Bandcamp [edit*]: "This is the long anticipated follow-up to the original Piano Collection, with 18 brand new arranged Piano renditions of many of Chris Huelsbeck's fan-favorite tracks. In fact, most of the playlist was curated through an online poll by the fans in 2020. Patrick Nevian is once again the performer and arranger for this new album and we hope you will like the result as much as we do!" Bandcamp Also check out the wonderful Amiga meets piano-Albums by Patrick Nevian if you haven´t! *Thanks, Robert! | ||||
15.10.2023 Turrican Review/Series Retrospective - Kimble Justice Another nice Turrican overview video. "Finally. People have requested Turrican for a pretty damn long time, and even though I'm kind of crap at the games...well, here it is! Finally. This video covers pretty much all the Turrican games out there, mostly focusing on the Amiga versions - all the three big games are there, Super Turrican on the NES and SNES, a whole bunch of ports...and yes, there's room for Universal Soldier too! So do enjoy this look back at one of Europe's more influential series of games. Remember, shoot or DIE!!!" Thanks to Retro Pedro for the tip! :) | ||||
