Gauntlet Remake - screenshots, download, progress

Miscellaneous Forums/Blitz Showcase/Gauntlet Remake - screenshots, download, progress

Hi - I've done a bit more on my Gauntlet Inspired/Remake game.

Core gameplay same as before, a few additional levels, level graphics changed. No music just yet.
A few command line options available (see text file "command line options.txt" for details)

Here are some new pics:

Oh..I know that many people thought I should include keyboard support. Keyboard support is
available by passing the command line argument 'keyboard' (although the game really feels much better with a gamepad, it loses something with keyboard controls (cursor keys, A/Z shoot/drink potion, 1/2/3/4 select character)

Known bug/issue: If the graphics setup program is run it ignores command line parameters. This
usually means that on the first time the game is run it will ignore command line parameters.

I gotta play this later when I have some free time. Nice Eye candy. The original arcade game was awe inspiring.

Cool beans! Nice job so far! ;)

You might want to try using some alpha on that HUD :)

Instead of making keyboard acess via comand line.
Add an option to the setup.exe

Brainstorming:
- dungeon walls are too dark
- you should mark the level "exits" like in the original:
Warp lvl 8, 6, etc
- Hero should be able to fire and turn at least!
- add autofire, as its pain for my fingers pressing fire button all day
- doors and wall edges are hard to see, as the 3D perspective makes this difficult

Keep it up.
