Re: Remade: The Apprentice for PC
Thank you Bas! As I thought it didn't take that long before someone posted a link to an ISO of the disc.. but what can one do? -- A new version is now available: 11.3d It mainly increases support for the various IMG and ISO files that are around. The project page is expanded with tutorials that desc...

Re: Remade: The Apprentice for PC
A few months ago I was contacted by a company that claims to have recently acquired the rights to The Apprentice. We exchanged a bunch of mails where we discussed the possibility to work together to get the game completed. But negotiations quickly broke once the matter of payment arrived.. it's real...

Re: Ingame world maps, level maps, map layouts.. and their format
.. I loved the big Tolemac world map! Then you'll be pleased to know it's back :mrgreen: I even fixed an old mistake (south of the swamp I switched two screens). As promised I'm going to explain how the overworld (and dungeon) maps, sprites, audio, and metadata is stored on the Zelda's Adventure di...

Re: Ingame world maps, level maps, map layouts.. and their format
I'm sure that either Devin (if he is ever around) or Omegalfa can help you out. Devin is still hosting the CDinteractive Network with plenty of space. Omegalfa has with djkoelkast The World of CD-i with probably also enough space, but I don't know about that. Once they'll see this, one of them will...

Re: Ingame world maps, level maps, map layouts.. and their format
Shikotei.... F**k off......... this is an absolutely amazing work....! I don't even have an idea of the time you spend doing this! Congratulations! Hmm.. I never really kept track of how much time I needed to get a single game worth of maps. Wouldn't really make sense at first anyway; I would have ...

Re: Ingame world maps, level maps, map layouts.. and their format
Mega Maze! One of the best puzzle games for the CD-i. And one with a TON of levels. There's 65 level codes, but 165 levels! Many have two stages per level, some even more. The game is ridiculously stored in a single file (apart from the general stuff [bumper, abstract, etc]). My first attempt at dec...

Re: Remade: The Apprentice for PC
And why not publish it through one of the several retro publishers available? I know some, I can contact them if you want. Let me know. As much as I want to release the game, I tend to be very cautiousfor the simple reason that what I created is not purely legal. The extraction program is definitel...

Re: Remade: The Apprentice for PC
Let there be an updated video! Progress as of January 26th 2019 Should you want to show this to others, this video has most (if not all) features as they are now. There are a few new things to show you! I've added the introduction video, at last some story! Now with operational main menu! And cheats...

Re: Remade: The Apprentice for PC
And you have every right to be! Very good work, and what perseverance... The trick is to split the huge problem into big ones. And the big into small, and the small ones into even tinier ones. And keep that up until you can solve the issue! Then work your way up into bigger ones that are (by then) ...

Small post, but still important:

Part 2: Gameplay - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeND_azeqSI
Both are unedited recordings.
Kinda proud of myself right now ^-^

Re: Remade: The Apprentice for PC
It may just be a small update in terms of gameplay progress (no progress since last time), but this packs a punch: It's nearly done! The file extractor is capable of the following: - Read part of a file (as small as a single sector) - Find and build table of contents - Extract contents of a single f...

Re: What could have been!
Looking at the article in CDI blog, it’s really sad that the Apprentice 2 never got finished! As I have a special interest in The Apprentice (currently re-creating the game on PC linky ), it's amazing what The Vision Factory was capable of making! ... just imagine if the same team had been given th...

Re: Remade: The Apprentice for PC
I've posted a new video! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2MvVbLBnHU The recording is last week's, but there's been little progress since that point. The changes that were made after the previous video: - Adjusted jumping physics and animation timing - Adjusted walking speed - Adjusted monster anima...

Re: Remade: The Apprentice for PC
As of just a few minutes ago, the following video is available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrpRuvi8FPs The recording is from last evening, but I've had to do some post-processing. All that really entails is the concatenation of a second video and the removal of some desktop icons. I'm planning ...

Remade: The Apprentice for PC
Throughout the years I've had a pet project going on a slow pace. Sometime during 2010-2011 I started working on it. As with most hobby projects, they either take a long time to get anywhere, or simply never see completion. I've hinted at having most of the CLUT images, but wanting to get every spri...
