Latest work on my #AtariSTE enhanced version of Lotus 2, now with a sky gradient similar to that featured in the #Amiga version. Still loads of work to do in various areas but it's looking good and performing well. 👍 🚗
I'll probably release as a single stage proof of concept.
Spent several hours last night rewriting and optimising the 68k code that draws the rev counter on the #AtariST version of Lotus 2 to use the Blitter chip instead.
These are the lengths that us ST folks are willing to go to in order to compete with that other machine. 😉
Spent a couple of days progressing the #AtariSTE enhanced version of Lotus 2 using some of the knowledge and techniques gained while developing FaSTer.
Still some way to go, but much closer to the #Amiga version than before.
And yes, it's quite glitchy at the moment. 😄
I guess I should probably stop messing around with demo effects on the high score screen and get back to writing the damn game. 😄

Thanks to Atari-Forum user ThorN for this "STOT Players Favourite new ST Game" award for Faster! 🥳
(STOT is the ST Offline Tournament - a high scores competition hosted on Atari-Forum and played using Atari ST games).

Cavey Taxi for Atari STE: high scores now being loaded from floppy and displayed on high score screen. Tons of raster time left, so I feel the urge to get a lot more colours on screen and more demo effects going on here. 😄
(Yes I'm aware of the glitch!)

As suggested by Angus over on X - raster bars underlying the wavy logo. Who needs one of them "copper" things anyway? 😄
(excuse the artifacts - it's next on my list...)

I'm supposed to be working on the core gameplay of Cavey Taxi for the Atari STE, but instead I've gotten caught up in creating this logo distorter for the high scores screen. 😄
Back to the game itself when I've got these demoscene urges off my chest!

Cavey Taxi for Atari STE - game is now booting from floppy and I'm working on mundane stuff like title screens and high score tables.
I tend to implement things *very* roughly before going back to refine them - this video illustrates this idea very well. 😄

Coming soon to an Atari STE near you, with another one of those tasty hi-colour title screens that does a great job of showing off the STE's 4096 colour palette. 😄
