Tested in:

Processor	Ram	Graphic Card	Result
Intel Core2Duo 3.16GHz	4GB	ATI Radeon 4350	Runs perfectly in High config w/music
Intel Core2Duo 2.26GHz	4GB	ATI Mobility Radeon 4500	Runs perfectly in Medium config W/music or High Wout/music
Intel Core2Duo 2.1GHz	4GB	GeForce 9400GT (damaged)	Runs ok in slow config Wout/music
Intel Core2Duo 2.6GHz	8GB	???	Actually playable.
Intel Core i5 2.4GHz	6GB	Radeon HD 6490	Running left and right on High/all sounds is fine, but jumping up/running into spikes slows things down. Knocking back the video to Medium/Low and everything is much smother, both with and without sounds.

I'll probably need more people working in this. If you draws SPC, scenarios, or works with sound and music, and has some spare time, I would greatly enjoy if you help me

Interesting.  Good luck with your project

[Someone who does Something]

Hopefully you'll be able to finish, good luck.

[Matt Pushinka]

New screens and new "level" available. Just testing images and sounds to see if it is still running smoothly.






download the rar


And don't forget: The setup is in portuguese, but i think it is also pretty obvious. You'll only need to unpack the setup and the "SPCG" folder in the same directory, then run setup.

[Matt Pushinka]

Version 0.3.3 is uploaded and good to go. Nobody here seems to be very interested, though. 0 Downloads of the previous versions. Still I'll put the link to the download here: Game Samurai Pizza Cats 0.3.3.rar

The concept of death is implemented. You'll lose 5 pizzas if you step in the spikes, and if you have less than that, you'll die.

The map is only a test of the features.



ALSO: Delphi isn't that good with image edition and movement and all that, so you'll probably need a relatively good PC to run. I'm working in an Core 2 Duo 2.26GHz with 4GB RAM and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500

I'll try getting through the setup files later-on tonight Matt.
I primarily run on a Mac, so I need to go & run my Windows PC to test the game.
It'll be a 2.8 GHz P4 with a NVIDA 6200 with 3 Gigs of RAM. It'll be interesting to see how it runs.

So far the development screens look interesting.

What're you primarily focusing on at the moment?

I've finished a... "wall jump". Like some modern sonic games, you can jump from wall to wall to reach higher ground. Next thing will be the enemies, I think. I'll need to develop the AI first.

I can happily endorse any sort of SPC game, please keep this up!

[Matt Pushinka]

3.4.2 is up. Walljump is on and a new map. Try finding all the 18 pizzas and dont take any damage to get the max rank (10) (pretty easy, in fact).

Whooftah... You weren't kidding when you said you need a strong PC to run that game Matt.
The PC I ran it on last night couldn't keep it smooth.

Tomorrow I'll try running it on the strongest box I've got.

I'm curious, in fact. Two friends of mine tested the game in different PC's but with almost the same configs. One of them could run it nice, the other couldn't even play. I'll analyse what is going on.

[Matt Pushinka]

Programming multiple enemies is harder than I thought. Anyway, I think this week I'll manage to release version 0.4

Is this game that bad that doesn't even deserve a try or what?

[KageReneko]

Don't say that... I generally am really busy and that's why I don't download it but I am really curious about it, I really thank your dedication to this project and I hope the game still advancing; you are posting updates really fast so I see the development is going well... Excuse us if we don't download every update, in my case i rather wait for a finished version...

Anyway, if you really want to have opinions you may upload videos in Youtube, we can see the advance and maybe that would encourage people to get the trials... Don't get upset, we all thank you for your work but remember that several of us are adult people that watched the show when we were kids and/or teenagers, now we have jobs and other occupations that drain our time...

Yeah, I know... It's just that its kind of hard to develop with almost no feedback. Sorry, anyway.

Maybe I'll post some videos later. I've just finished the save/load features and the sistem that build the next map after you finish the first. Will upload it later too.
Now to develop Speedy.

[KageReneko]

Well, since I feel guilty now I downloded the trial and tested the game, it's nice and I just have 2 big complains... The sprites are too small and I get kinda tired of my eyes but that's because my eyes aren't healthy anyway...

Another thing is the music loop evrtthing is looking very well...

Can you change action1, 2 and 3 for shuriken, attack and jump in the control configuration screen? I'd like it more in this way
