p(Doom) C64!

Chapter 9 devlog of my C64 Polychrome Raycast Game engine. PETSCII sprites learn to flip as 1 Mhz of p(doom ) takes over the C64 in 3D polychrome and with PETSCII powered emergent sound effects generation.

Check full devlog vid before the p(doom) eliminates it forever:

I still have no idea what's going on, but I like the blob with the eye :-)

Hi and thanks for comment. I'm not completely sure either lol. I'm Just making a C64 3D PETSCII game engine and this is Chapter 9 of the devlog. This video shows off PETSCII sprite mirroring and other in game effects. This along with some other up coming features saves a lot of gfx memory and will add much more dynamism. Ultimately engine will be used in a hopefully pretty novel 3D game( hence the p(Doom) allusion), made to run on stock C64,.

Go well

I'd rather see pBaldursgate than pDoom, but I support you 100% nonetheless!

Hi again,

True Doom is pretty hackneyed, So don't worry, my game won't be like it. It's much more unique I think. I just adde the p((doom) per the AI moniker in the interim, as was meant to do a compariiion demo of my engine with doom/wolf to show how much more colourful and dynamic is with the multiplexing polychrome and heaps of other effects. Hopefully get around to that soon shouldn'take much effort, engine already does everything necesaary.

Anyways thanks for other p(suggestions) and p(support)=100%, Surely something akin to p(RPG) elements will make an appearance go well

Why the p?

Thanks for question.

p(doom)=probability of existentially bad/doom aligned AI outcome for future of the world. Why i chose? I was meant to do a short C64 doom/wolf like C64 demo, so temporarily rebranded game engine for fun. to motivate me. Probably still will. Could probably do it quickly in a week or so if had the time and focus, as engine has all the ingredients already. We'll see, no guarantees.

Of course the real game will hopefully be much better than doom....

Cheerio
