Re: Alchemyst Dig!

Since the options to store the cavesets elsewhere aren't available, the bundle package on the github has been updated with the inclusion of Dangerdash Vol.06 -- as well as the current versions of every other caveset. You can find that here.

Re: Alchemyst Dig!

I know there's been a bit of radio silence but things were cooking up under the radar. I finally had the time to finish and polish the next DangerDash. Unfortunately, I am no longer using the Github for the distros, so you'll have to wait until Vol.06 is published to the Boulder Dash Game Base, when...

Re: Boulderdash conversion

revvv updated GDash-crli-export with the two extra caves, and as of the current minor update, has added the fixes for older entries in the Dig/Dangerdash caves, as well as DangerDash Vol.5.

Re: Alchemyst Dig!

Hey, I know it's been a fair while. Other obligations hit me when things were already kinda being cleaned up. Ultimately, I am still leaving Dangerdash 1 on the Gamebase for two particular reasons: that the original and the version in BD40 are still quite different, enough that they are still two se...

Re: Miho Dash

I'm interested in seeing how this project pans out. Looking forward to seeing specific implementations of what the old engines did (like BD1/BD2's scanning mechanisms). Looking good so far.

Re: Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary?

Rebinding has been one of the several gripes of players of this game, and I think they are working on a way to hopefully let that be possible.

Re: Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary?

I say it's the closest that it's ever gotten to the original experience. Feels familiar, but also fresh, without trying to be what it is representing.

Re: Boulder Dash 40th Anniversary?

The classic trio still has a few things that purists will nitpick at, but the modern experience overall has a lot of polish closer to the original game, in terms of object and enemy behavior. My only gripe is that the amoeba tends to be a little faster than usual in some cases. But I'm sure there's ...

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with GDash game engine

Hi, These levels are from Krissz's site which operates on an engine that has some slight differences with GDash, but otherwise remains feature-equivalent. The only difference is that it is impossible to have smooth transitions between borders of a level without tooling with the renderer and creating...

Re: Alchemyst Dig!

DangerDash Vol. 01 was updated: G/3 (Mysticism) had an autofill RNG state where the level auto-failed due to the magic wall immediately triggering. The seed for the initial fill was adjusted to prevent it. The pack is updated to reflect this.

Re: Rocks'n'Diamonds with GDash game engine

Yeah, this option should randomize colors despite a cave having predetermined colors, as an override :P

Re: Alchemyst Dig!

Thanks for pointing it out. I'm opening an issue with the repo pointing this out. EDIT: doing comparisons between the archive and what I currently had in my repo, revv has 1.0 whereas I had 1.01 which addressed this. I brought it up while I was opening the issue. I also permitted the use of the enti...

Re: Alchemyst Dig!

The caveset you might've been using was most likely outdated if there was one with issues. Glad the push came through.

This levelset offers 25 levels and four starts, with unique messages for each level the ending happens. Taking place after the events of Vol.04, you're given a once in a lifetime opportunity to se...
