What do you like to port/develop exactly?
Are you part of the developer channel in our live online chat?

Its a fairly complex 2D platform game thats currently 90% code done and ~30% assets on the PC, so wont get any of the 'exitement' from people after stunning 3D titles, but I think it could do well on a Vampire system and would be well suited. Also, no, I am not part of the developer channel. Unfortunately, I have no working Vampire board, therefore, Im not really classing myself as a Vampire developer...yet. Hope to get the A500 +V2 running in the next few weeks, so I will start to look at all the Vampire specific compilers and documentation in more detail then. (And pick your brain a bit more on implementation specifics if thats ok).

Our channel is great for asking all kinds of dev-questions getting tips and advice. 2D games are my favorite.
What screensize do you plan for 320x240, 640x480, bigger?
What color format do you aim for, 256color , hicolor?

| Well Gunnar, the game as is now is currently set for 1024x768, so fairly square 4:3 ratio (I originally started in 2001!), however, I have given it a fairly flexible framework, so the resolution can be anything from 320x200 to 1920x1080 or more really. Colour depth: As I am designing it with an 'old school' pixel art look in mind, the colour is around 256, but again, the framework will do 4 to 24bpp. On the PC, I even have a full game asset (and to a degree) framework editor, so the end user doesnt even have to keep the same game. You can do something like StreetFighter 2 or Bubble Bobble just by changing some variables and drawing your own graphics.

The game is hand painted 2D GFX ?
Do you have some pictures to show?I assume if the Sprites/GFX are drawn for a certain resolution then you can not use them on another so easily?
Or how would this work?

| Of course, changing the screen mode you would have to redraw the graphics to suit; no scalable hardware sprites. I dont have a recent build to hand, but if you have a PC/Laptop with XP I can send you an old demo . (Can you do PM's here?)
