Fuze Player reviews!
-
What @Jonboy says here cannot be over-stated. He will know, because I told him as much that "Writing a game" has been one of my bucket list items since getting a ZX81 back at the age of 12. I hadn't considered it being a published game. Despite it not being listed, I was pleasantly surprised to see that one of my games was actually in the Showcase for the player, and therefore like he says, not only does that strike that off my bucket list, but it was published on the Nintendo Switch to boot. Woohoo!
What most people won't know is that despite being a member of Team Fuze (a somewhat quiet one of late), and despite making my living as a programmer for over 30 years now, I'd never successfully written a game. And the beauty of it is that it's an ongoing thing - so people can still get their games into the player for the world to see at any time!!

Happy New Year Folks....
My New Year's resolution is to convince the FUZE community to write...
A Pinball simulator
A 3D Racer
Finish my own 2D Racer
More puzzle games (I mean no Sudoku, Mahjong pair games, no Othello... come on guys!)
Definitely more platform games
More arcade classics
Where on Earth is Thrust / Gravitar
Where's Mr Do, Bombjack and Tempest FK
And for goodness sake folks... No Gauntlet!!!!!Let alone 2D Shootem ups - Gradius, Salamander, R-Type and Axelay!!
I shan't speak of New Zealand Story, Wardener, Shinobi, Varth and Crazy Balloon.
And nothing of Galaxian, Moon Cresta or Galaga or Astro Blaster for that matter...
And since FUZE Quest was so rudely removed is no one going to take its place - or what about Dungeon Master or hey... Populous.
Did I say Arkanoid (actually I was thinking about a Ponganoid - just in case anyone needed inspiration)..
How about 3D Berzerk (so easy) or Defender.
Oh, and Pool!
Ok, that will do for January.
love to all.
Jonnyboy.

uhhhh Jon has given me a dozen ideas.
-
He didn’t mention Bubble Bobble.
-
-
That's what i'm talking about - but what about horizontal two player... i.e... Ponganoid... come on, you know there's a game there...
-
They don't like some games, but did they look at the code ?
Here we have diversity, creativity. We don't want to play always the same game (FPS or metroidvania clones).
Happy new year to Fuze community. -
Happy New Year everyone. Loving these supportive and exciting comments.
I refrained from commenting here for a while, since if I'm being genuinely honest, that comment from YouTube upset me probably more than it should. It's very hard not to let a rubbish opinion like that get to you, expressed with absolutely zero awareness of the hard work, time, love and determination that go into each project. It comes across to me as an entitled, self obsessed outlook that everything is in the world to entertain them. Something leads me to believe they probably wouldn't have the determination, passion or courage to create a game of their own and share it with others. I had to fight the urge to jump on and be a keyboard warrior. But, it really is not something to even pay attention to. Any opinion expressed without thoughtfulness should be dismissed without it too.
The jury is already out on how "good" the games are. Fuzeotron is the business. This community makes that obvious. The support we provide to each other, the motivation this creates to create, learn and express ourselves - this is the important thing. Our community seems to be among the best out there for this.
Anyway, let's have a great year. There are some cool things coming, folks. :)

I did a pixel perfect Arkanoid clone about a month or two back but it wasn't in Fuze so I won't post it here :D

You've seen it !
I have now, thanks ;)
Also thanks to Jon for sidetracking me. I was working on a new game but his list of games inspired me and now I'm working on two games.

Ok I'll admit my showcase submission, Galactic Bolts, was a bit underwhelming and seems kind of buggy and the fact it was not worth mentioning on his video kinda bummed me out, but I won't let a review discourage me from creating more games on this platform. In fact if anything this tells me that I need to work harder and create something that will bring this Fuze player to the top! never let a bad review get you down and never give up!
-
If it’s any consolation, me and my kid played through Galactic Bolts last night, and we had a fun 10 mins. :)
Edit: that final boss looming over the horizon was a really nice touch, I thought.
-
@SteveZX81 You mentioned working on a Space Game. I hope it's like Elite 1. 40 K on the Spectrum. Must be possible with Fuze4. Really need a RND seed function. Any chance, Fuze team?
Happy New Year to all. -
Elite? haha in my dreams! I love Elite
-
@toxibunny Thanks for playing it, it means a lot! Planning a sequel to it so watch out for that!
Edit: If you are interested in beta stuff look in the image editor for Galactic Bolts and you will see some sprites for a scraped feature... forgot to take them out unless a Fuze team member already did
-
@JMM161437 it's a great program/game not only fun but great for a sample program if i ever come out of the 2d-realm it would be very useful to learn from :)
-
Thank you @waldron. what specifically would you like to learn from my project/game and I could try and mimic it here. btw I love your games!
