F-Zero Progress Thread

thanks

I remember I played the one bundled inside the z80 emulator for the TI-Nspire that calc84maniac was working on a few years ago, but the emulator ran so fast that the game was totally unplayable. It was quite cool, though. It reminded me of Mario Kart.

Bump,

do you still plan something for that, or is it totally dead ?

[DJ Omnimaga]

I'm not sure what is happening and what is he working on lately, but I think he wanted to convert this to Mario Kart or something a while ago.

[calc84maniac]

Oh yeah, I kept forgetting what direction I was going to take this project in. But at any rate, all this mode7 (and other 3d) talk recently has led me to do some more engine optimizations, which I seem to do a couple of times per year, haha. Maybe I'll eventually even change it into Mario Kart, heh. As usual I can't make any promises though, especially since I'm taking a full class load next semester.

[18:38:21]   calc84maniac   hey, I've been working on F-Zero a bit

[Matrefeytontias]

Horay

Also calc84maniac, I'd like to test the app corresponding to the latest screenshot, can you attach it or give a DL link for your fans pleaaase ?

[Sorunome]

wut, I thought it was dead

[aeTIos]

calc84's projects just go slooooowly, they're never really dead (I think)

[calc84maniac]

That's what I tell myself, anyway

[Matrefeytontias]

Bump,

I just quote myself

Also, why did I get a downrating for that

I'm guessing the reason calc84maniac hasn't provided a download for it already is because he doesn't feel that he's ready to. This is an extremely complicated and somewhat old project, so progress is probably slow. Posts like this pressure authors to work faster and push out a release, even if they don't feel prepared to.

I think some people rate down every post asking for F-Zero/Project M downloads (kinda an alternative to how MaxCoderz just locked down the Metroid sub-forum entirely for 7 years once)

But I don't press anyone, I just said that it'd be cool if calc84maniac released a version for which he already posted a screenshot for me, if he posted a screenshot, I understand it as it's already somehow playable. I don't necessarily want a full complete version.

Bump.

Newest version link?
I love the version I've played! 0002.
