Alex Kidd in Radaxian Rumble (v1.04b)

[alianger]

Update: v1.04b is out now and you can get it here: minirevver.weebly.com/alex-kidd-in-radaxian-rumble.html

Hi all. This is a hack of Alex Kidd in Miracle World made using KiddEd, aiming to provide new challenges for fans of the original, give the game a bit of an audiovisual update, as well as to make parts of the original game flow a bit better. After about four weeks of working on it I think I've come up with something worth showing to more people.




Playthrough of version 1.04b by me:



Some planned features:
-One or two additional levels - I've decided to make a second episode instead. Stay tuned for "Alex Kidd in Bro! No!"
-Further changes to castles and jar shaped levels (level 3) - Done here and in episode 2
-More music variation - Done
-New bosses, enemies, mechanics
-More sprite/tile edits - Partly done; I'd like to do more here but would need to expand the tile sets for it

Feedback and requests are welcome! Just keep in mind that I'm not a coder, so for any technical questions I'll probably have to redirect you to Calindro.

Nice work! I didn't try your hack yet, but screenshots look great.

KiddEd is an amazing tool!

[alianger]

Hi gallos_11! Thanks, hope you'll like it.

If people want to see it in action I can post some gameplay footage on youtube.
We could also make this a general AK romhack thread, since there are a couple more people working on their own hacks (Fall of Radaxian, Alex Kidd in Hell).

Indeed it is, and its creator is really friendly and helpful as well.

Looking great! I'm glad people are using KiddEd. I haven't tried it yet. I just started working with HiSMS, though. I think we are in an exciting time when there are a bunch of hacks in development.

Thank you! Here's a gameplay vid:

A side thing I made the other day was to insert Kelesis's sprite into AKIMW:


If there is interest, there will be a character select screen for Radaxian Rumble where you can pick between 3-4 different character sprites. For example: Alex Kidd, Wonder Boy, Kelesis, Asterix.
Go ahead and request one if you like, but keep in mind it has to be a character that fits with the mechanics and sprite sizes.

Love this, awesome

Bumping this with a teaser vid for the next release:


Edit:
So did anybody get through the current demo yet? Any feedback is welcome guys. 

[alianger]

Happy to inform everyone that the game will be (should be, it's untested) playable on an everdrive now, with the 1.03 release. 

[jessie]

I am going to try this when I get home today! It looks great!

[alianger]

So did you try it? Feel free to post your thoughts here or in a PM.

[schlingel]

Hi, i would also like to test it on an everdrive. But where can i download the 1.03 release? On the website it says:
"Download Links: 1.03 - Coming Soon!"

So i guess it is not released yet?

[alianger]

I was close to releasing 1.03 a few days ago, but wanted to wait for some feedback on the current release first. I was also able to edit more things in the game (trigger functions) as recently as yesterday, so I'd like to make use of this feature wherever possible and it requires some redesigns here and there, as well as bug testing.

That said I could patch the current release to make it compatible with everdrive, and I'll do that now.

Edit: The patch is updated now ("1.02e patched"). Keep in mind it's not been tested since I don't have an everdrive. 

[schlingel]

Great, it is working on my everdrive. Thank you very much for doing this

I like the idea of adding Wonder Boy. My recommendation would be to add the Hu-Man sprite from Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap.
