@all

Just a quick note: I have uploaded a minor revision again (2c) mostly to fix a nasty bug (details in the production notes).

Yeah, as said the gameplay is meant to be a little richer than it is now - I just don't know when it will happen.
As regards level design, well, levels are generated procedurally and that's not going to change.
Thanks for the encouragement!

Add level design and game design that matches the nice visuals, and you have a truly remarkable C64 game. Best Luck!

I've just replaced the old version (preview 2) with the fixed one (preview 2a).
Since the change has been very minimal (moving a variable assignment from one place to another), I decided not to make a separate release.
(History information in the production notes.)

@iceout

Thanks a lot :)


@all

A friend of mine today reported a bug: the difficulty after the first game does not get reset properly - in fact, a variable was initialized in the wrong place. Tomorrow I'll release the fixed version.
Sorry for the inconvenience!

Like I already said on the corresponding forum topic, I really dig the cute graphics but the gameplay would definitely need a bit of improvement.
Keep up the nice work mate.

Deev, you're right, the gameplay is nothing groundbreaking: for now, it's quite simple, although it might provide some fun (especially when it becomes challenging - say, above level 20). There are ideas to make it richer and who knows if some day they'll materialize ;)

yes, very nice work with the graphics and Richard's tune works pretty well too. Not sure about the gameplay!

Glad you like the graphics so much! And, yes, the tunes are great (I especially love the title screen one): Richard certainly did a wonderful job :)
As for sound effects, I'd like to have them as well and they're at the top of the TODO list ;)

What cute graphics! 10/10 And sweet music also. How about some sfx as well?

Leon, just think that the idea is even more idiot than it seems, but it can only be fully appreciated when the missing gameplay part will be in place ;)
Thanks for the high mark :)

Sorry, then! I wrongly assumed the title had been mistaken for something else. My bad.
Well, anyway, I don't know what Manky is, so, no, HIE is totally unrelated to it.
User Comment

thx, I 'know' latin ;-)
Hence my wondering if a Manky-part is planned :)

@skull

Thank you!


@enthusi

Thanks, I'm glad you like it :)

"Hoc init exit", despite its techie sound, is Latin for "what(ever) gets in, gets out". It's a joke between me and some friends, which, unfortunately, would be way too long to explain :p

looks (and plays even) fun indeed.
I like the pig animation. Sure looks wild :)
Multiplexer in compiled basic? Eeek :)
Curious about the title: HOC INIT EXIT - is it a prequel to Manky?

@Cobra/Samar

Unfortunately, I can't say when I'll be able to resume development - preparing this release already took me more than I initially thought, as I got carried away and added more stuff than planned...


@Algarbi

Thanks :)
