Hello everyone,

Some of you may be aware of my TMNT Sprite Ripping Project (http://www.jsofts.com/tmntsprites/).

Well I have created a small engine test that I have been working on for some time.

It is done by myself in MMF2, I'm bassicially working on making the engine to the original 1989 konami arcade game, of course, it will never be perfect or identical, but atleast we should have a good fan-game atleast.

Give it a download and test it out.

See below for what it available in the Engine Test.

It would appear no one is interested dispite 30+ Views. :P

[XERO]

You need Benvenuto sprites, that's all. :P

[Jester]

Yeah...edit in Benny...make him save his brothers...:P

[jasonorme666]

lol, lets try and actually get the rest done before I start adding new and additional content.

Just completed the jumping movement at last, complete with all 3 aero attacks which you can now unleash on the foot soldiers, knocking them to the ground.

Which will be available in the next engine test release.

[Lex Luthor]

It's looks pretty good to me, I can get 6 foot soldiers on the screen before it starts to lag.

Are you going to have the original sounds and music from the arcade game in it?

[GK Punk]

That's cool that you are so close to recreating the old arcade game, but I'm looking forward to when you have this at the point to where you can create new games with it. That's going to be great.

[jasonorme666]

I don't intend to make the original arcade game, just use its engine, I plan on making a new game using the engine and content, with maybe some new stuff thrown in like the rock soldiers from Turtles In Time and some different coloured foot soldiers.

It's looks pretty good to me, I can get 6 foot soldiers on the screen before it starts to lag.

Are you going to have the original sounds and music from the arcade game in it?

I can flood the screen with foot soldiers and it runs okay. but odds are there will never be too many enemies on the screen, and the "game" will be optimized before released anyway.

The game now has original sounds and original music, it bumps the file size up abit but a new engine release will be available soon with these features and more.

That appears to be a popular choice. :D

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I'm definetely up for seeing a TMNT fan game. About time too! Wow the download is cool though, the speed is much improved than the arcade(only when a few foot soldiers are on-screen). I have dreamed myself of what kind of TMNT game i would like to make. It seems like it will be a lotta work to make an entire game out of this. Is it possible that you can create or import other TMNT characters that weren't involved in the arcade game i.e. Leatherhead? Just asking, and is this game-making a complicated thing to do? It's something that interests to do, but i do know it will take up a lot of time.

[jasonorme666]

the speed is much improved than the arcade(only when a few foot soldiers are on-screen)..

Yeah, when optimized correctly the speed should be nice and fast.

I have dreamed myself of what kind of TMNT game i would like to make.

I too, I did just that many many years ago, but it was nothing like this short engine, it was very poor in comparison.

It seems like it will be a lotta work to make an entire game out of this. Is it possible that you can create or import other TMNT characters that weren't involved in the arcade game i.e. Leatherhead?

It is alot of work, but its somthing I've wanted to do for a long time, so thats whats making me stick with it. I can add anything into the game that I wish, including new enemies, bosses even Bart Simpson, Super Mario or a animated version of myself. New backgrounds anything is possible. I could even give the turtles new super powers, machine guns. It just means I need to draw/rip them, piece them together, animate them and then program them.

When I do make a game, I plan on adding some turtles in time content, mainly the bosses and I'm definatly getting the pizza monsters and rock soldiers.. probably the robot walkers too, but there is no rush for them just yet, need everything else done. I could if I so wished remake the original arcade game, not perfect but so everything was pretty much how it was, and add new levels and enemies etc.

and is this game-making a complicated thing to do? It's something that interests to do, but i do know it will take up a lot of time.

Took me about 8 years, started off with Klik N Play, then Click & Create, followed by The Games Factory, then Multimedia Fusion and then the brand new Multimedia Fusion 2. Beat em ups are not an easy task in any of these programs however.

I may be able to design a level editor though, not sure how I would go about making it, but the idea is there and a few people have requested this.

[Mike Bock]

This engine is freaking sweet dude! I've had a great time playing it, I love all the foot soldiers you can throw. Makes the game very dynamic and entertaining.
Thank you so much for sharing it with us.

Guess I must be doing somthing right since I got frontpage on the daily click (biggest clickteam gaming community).

[Ninja Tiptup]

That is fantastic Jason. An endless barrage of foots at your leisure and an almost perfect recreation of the engine (invisible wall errors are funny though). Quite impressive. My friend I think you have most of the pieces to make a full on game with this.

Thankyou,

Got a fair bit or work done today, nearly have the white knife throwing foot soldier ready to enjoy (minus a few smaller things like their round house kick). But he attacks you, and you can attack him as he throws his knives at a distance.

[jasonorme666]

I'm slowly changing the engine into more of a game style.

This way I can code everything as I go along. i.e Foot Soldier breaking through doors, and balls falling down the stairs.

So by the next engine test release it will be abit different.

[Lex Luthor]

The new release is great. The sounds and music add alot to the game.

Can't wait to see what you add next.

[jasonorme666]

For the next release their will be much more of a game feel to it rather than an engine. White knive throwing is almost complete and I'm currently piecing together the orange star throwing foot.

Currently on hold though waiting for somone to send me some backgrounds I require.

[jasonorme666]

[Ninja Tiptup]

Awesome Jason. Simply awesome. Keep up the good work.

[jasonorme666]

Thankyou. :)

[Lex Luthor]

Awesome update, Love that you added the ball falling down the stairs.

Can't wait to try the next version. :D

[Mike Bock]

Great as usual!! :)

[jasonorme666]

Thankyou.

Now before I go onto the next part I have to clean up this part, get rid of the bugs, add the few missing things i.e The little patch of fire and the Dynamite throwing foot.

Not sure about the roadkill rodney yet, I might add him at a later date, considering they don't become regulars until level 5.

[PizzaPower]

what level does your game go up to??? I only played some of level one. it's awesome!!

[jasonorme666]

The engine ends after level 1 (defeating Rocksteady).

The full version will have 10 parts in total (spanning 5 scenes)

[PizzaPower]

so are you gonna add your own levels to it??????? and in the future could I see a new tmnt game? lol

[jasonorme666]

Info can be found on the ABOUT (http://www.jsofts.com/tmntengine/about.php) page.

If you have any unanswered questions I'd be happy to answer them and add them to the Q/A.

In short, yes I can add my own levels, but I wont in this particular remake of the original.
I will one day make a new tmnt game using existing content, new levels and a few new things thrown in.

[PizzaPower]

and in that one day I will be soooooooo happy.

[jasonorme666]

That's good to know.

It may be awhile yet, but I too can't wait to start on a new game.
Especially since most of the hard work will have already been done (the engine).

There is a topic regarding what would "you" do if you could make your own tmnt game on the tmnt engine forum.

already have! <3

Thankyou :tlove:

[oldmanwinters]

Hey, this is a great game but it crashes every time I make it to April's room. Is it a bug?

[jasonorme666]

Hey, this is a great game but it crashes every time I make it to April's room. Is it a bug?

Does the screen fade and then the game closes?
or does it pop up with an error message?

If its the first one then you need to play Version 0.5.

If its the second one then maybe try the lite version.

Please let me know of you get on.

[jasonorme666]

EDIT: Fixed a problem with V.0.5 having no music, also reduced the size to 4.94MB

[oldmanwinters]

I tried the Lite version and it worked fine. With the Full version, it seemed like all sorts of things would go wrong when I got to the room. Foot soldiers would disappear. If you stood on the couch, you could walk up the wall and then across the bookshelf. I don't know if it was just my computer taking ill to the game or what, but you still did a great job with this.

Not sure about the footsoldiers disapearing, did they just vanish for good?
As for the walking on walls, yeah that is a problem that happens when walking against two border blockers. :)

I'ma just keep playin' this :-P

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v247/JNCOPosterboy/The%20Cabinets/100_0614.jpg

[jasonorme666]

Yup, I've got one too.

The 4 player Hero Turtles UK edition. (according to KLOV the only person in the UK with one).

Aswell as these http://www.vaps.org/members/member_detail.php?member_id=384373

Dispite that and emulation, I still went ahead and made the engine not just for me, but for the fans. :)

You can't make brand new tmnt games with an emulator or arcade machine ;)

[jasonorme666]

Well its been a few months since I've done any work on the engine.
I've been so busy with sorting out things in my new house that I really just don't have time.

Well I got the urdge to do somthing earlier, so at midnight or so I loaded up my engine and began work.
Not much has been done, but its progress atleast. The yellow boomerang throwing foot soldier now works exactly the same as the purple foot soldier does, his boomerang throwing works in one direction and so is nearly complete.
All that really needs doing is the rest of the level coding i.e enemies jumping from windows, manholes and enemy placement, also the boss, not to forget the hydrant and parking metres.

Not sure when the next time will be when I can work alittle more, but some progress is better than none.

[Ninja Tiptup]

It's really coming along man. Great job.

[cowabunga14]

It's good to hear that you're slowly, but surely making progress. Nice stuff so far.

[Spike Spiegel]

Wow....cool. That arcade system looks just like the one at my local Chuck E. Cheese's...

An example of what can be done with the TMNT Engine.

I love how this is much more versitile than any emulator/ROM combination I've played in the past. Besides, for some reason I can't get the roms to run on the latest version of MAME32 I have installed on my system. Best of all I like how you say you'll have all 10 levels in it (will it end with Shredder and Krang?). And my personal props to "Elly" for ripping the music...I just wonder what happened to These (http://www.kaejae-worx.com/don/videogames/tmnt/music.htm) mp3s. A very worthy project that will benefit the community for a very long time! :thumbsup:

Now, that being said, my final verdict on the latest release is this:

Don't get rid of you MAME rom just yet.

[jasonorme666]

Hello and thankyou for the kind words.

For TMNT Music you should goto http://gh.ffshrine.org/soundtracks/6365

The engine (if finished) will indeed have everything that original 1989 konami arcade game has.

Indeed "TMNT Engine" is much more versitile than any emulator (due to it being completely coded from scratch) allowing you to add anything you want to it (new characters, levels, attacks etc).

I even created a new game using the same engine "Jesus The Arcade Game" which is now available for download.

Download it HERE (http://www.jsofts.com/jesus/jesusthearcadegame.zip)

Great!

Just one small problem (which is no big deal since I have friends that will let me use their 'net connection)...I have to use a public computer for my internet usage and thus right-clicking isn't allowed.

But thanks for the link, at least I know where to go now ;)
