  • [NGDEV] Kraut Buster Status May 2018

    Dear customers,

    here is the latest status:

    ** Kraut Buster Status **

    * Current status and schedule *

    You can see a first look of the newly added character Valeria here.
    Btw. her hair color is configurable if the color is too extreme for your liking.

    The base game is already fully done for a while. We are in the final phase of polishing and detailing.
    We can finally see the ends of our to do lists.

    Finishing up takes now again about 6-8 weeks.
    We will order the PCBs in early June to be ready for an end of July release. Of course beta testing can add 1-2 weeks if unexpected issues come up there. But we will have anything in stock in end of July to be ready at any time.

    Reasons why it takes longer again:

    General difficulty to estimate time of pixel art.
    Art is not a linear process you can calculate by the pixel count and frame count. It heavily depends on style, quality and specific tasks.

    Just some examples of many:

    As parallax scrolling fells so much better we decided to add it to stage 4-1 too, maybe even 4-2 (both weren't planned before)
    Stage 4-2 get small new background animations like sailors on the war ships/dock workers

    Boss 1-2 animation needed reworking. It was the oldest boss in the game and not up to standards anymore

    Another unplanned task was to give the grunt soldier different personalities. They were a little bit boring.
    Randomly picked they get 1 of 4 personalities assigned. Each personality has it's own walk/idle and shoot face animations.
    Personalities: stoic / angry / psycho / cold blooded killer

    New hardware PCB + programmer add-ons

    We created a complete new hardware generation of our PCBs (v2.0 3rd generation).
    We switched to a completely different MCU and to a more modern and powerful FPGA as the old ones will be discontinued in the future and/or are getting more difficult and expensive to get a hold off.
    Also our production chain/dev kits and cartridge programmers needed an hardware upgrade. All this was more complicated than anticipated and added several weeks too.

    Getting GDPR compliant

    Current to do list:

    Graphics:

    Cleanup of intro/ending
    Parallax scrolling for mission 4-1/4-2 (nearly done)
    Stage win animation for each character
    Little things for menus.
    Adding small things like small animals to the stages.
    Adding animated stuff to the map screen.

    Coding:
    Menus
    Intro/Ending
    Hiscore screens
    WLAN/wireless

    Music:

    Finishing up the music.
    The intro music is currently missing.

    Some sound fx and voice work.

    Btw. the shockbox insert of the MVS version will change to the same design we use for the AES CE.
    The artworks we used back then belonged to another project and they will return to their original (back then frozen) project.
    The Kraut Buster AES regular will get an update of the insert too. The 3rd character (Valeria) will be added on the front cover.

    We will show the respective insert shortly before shipping starts.

    -----------

    Fast Striker AES (reprint) is still scheduled for autumn 2018.

    Best regards,
    NGDEV

                          • [NGDEV] Kraut Buster Status Beta Test started



                            Dear customers,

                            the external Kraut Buster MVS beta testing started. We will have a release date and more information in the couple next weeks While the testing is ongoing we use the time to pre produce as much as possible so we can get all MVS units shipped before the holidays.

                            Speaking about holidays, we added some new small stuff to our shop for the holidays.
                            A soundtrack collection and the regular edition of Last Hope for NGCD with spinecard/OBI. Only limited quantities are available. After that both are gone for good. Both items are in stock.

                            Best regards,
                            NGDEV
