Haha that title . It looks nice! Despite its limitations screen 4 can really do quite pretty graphics. Those ground tiles and those bushes look particularly good. Screen 4 is a good basis for a smooth scrolling MSX2 platforming game, and I’m looking forward to what it will become!

Woot. Awesome. Screen4 smooth scrolling platform. This is what I just like. Now beware when you say yiu will finish it. I will keep you to that word. Finishing a screen 4 platform can be challenging.

I know, one thing is tech, another is content creation. Making content up to proper standards, requires both skills and a lot of work.

And when it comes to tech, I need to continue optimize a whole lot. Well, a whole lot further I probably need to do all the tricks in the book to get all that I want, into the game -- we'll see.

Hmmm looks kinda familiar ;-) But besides that, it looks quite impressive
If you ever come to a stage to releasing it, would it be OK if I would add it to the homebrew section of my site? (https://homebrew.file-hunter.com)

Thanks.

Too many questions needs to be answered before I can answer that I guess. I see that people release games physically these days. I wonder if that could be an option. I also wonder if rom is the right medium. Currently I was thinking of a bunch of levels + savegames. Not sure if that is viable on MSX2, in practise.

Does filehunter.com require rom?

I can use rom, disk, harddisk, cassette, etc... So that is not the problem. And a version on my site doesn't have to stand in the way of doing a physical release. And even then there are several ways to handle things. From some some games I only have a demo version online, with a link to the location people can buy the full game (For example Nogalious)). From other games I have the full version online with a link to the author's site and a like to a shop to buy a physical copy (For example Night Knight). With other authors I have agreed to wait untill they give me a notice that I can put a game online (For example Zakil Wood MSX2 Remake).
I can imagine that if you are going for a physical release, you want to sell as many copies as possible and that having an online version available might conflict with that, so :)
For now, I'd suggest to have some fun programming the game. Adding it to my site, in whatever way, is just one of the many options :)

Hello, can you give us some indication of the technique used?
It looks like a scroll in 256 x 192 pixels with no black bands on the sides of the screen

Thanks
