[Net Yaroze] Gravitation

[Cloudz2789]

What's the song?

[UniverseStar]

@Cloudz2789 It's battle theme (against doppelganger) from Ragnarok Battle Offline. And where did you hear the voice to call it a song?

[Cloudz2789]

@UniverseStar Ah cheers mate :) Thought I recognised it from somewhere...

[DemonStudiosLtd]

This game was indeed created as a homage to the brilliant Gravity Force on the Amiga. I loved that game. If Gravitation had made any money I would have gladly given Kingsoft / Stephan Wenzler royalties. I just created it on the Net Yaroze as a home-brew exercise to teach myself PlayStation programming to get a job in game development. Luckily it got on the OPSM coverdisk. I worked at Codemasters for 11 years and recently founded DemonStudios on my own. Mmm, a remake is always a possibility. :)

[UniverseStar]

@DemonStudiosLtd Oh, you say you worked at codemasters? Then you probably know Jim too? =p

[DemonStudiosLtd]

@UniverseStar I do yes, in that I am Jim (said creator of Gravitation) :) I guess my previous comment doesn't make much sense unless you realised that from what I was saying (I had said this but had to edit the comment down to fit). I've toyed with the idea of making an iOS update of Grav - with enough demand I would do. A PSVita version might be the best platform as this sort of game doesn't work too well on a touch-screen.

[DemonStudiosLtd]

@DemonStudiosLtd one reason I didn't do a version of Gravitation for iOS is the name was already taken. I wanted to create a 100% original game nobody has thought of and came up with Lead Wars (so as to not make a blatant rip-off of another game like Grav was and indeed most of the App Store!). Anyhoo, follow me on Twitter @DemonStudios or see my channel to keep up with what I'm up to :)

[UniverseStar]

@DemonStudiosLtd Oh, wow. I didn't recognize you =) I thought you worked with him, but didn't think it _was_ you, heh :3 I'm the very student from Russia that wrote you on codemasters forum several years ago (maybe you remember, maybe not), and you sent me the source of this game. I wanted to contact you again but forgot my login and password. I wanted to tell you that there was another similar game under development for PSP and PS3 (called Gravity Crash). Did you know about that?

[DemonStudiosLtd]

@UniverseStar I remember yes, Simon isn't it? I did get Gravity Crash but while it's a great game didn't have that same physics feel and pixel-perfect collision detection that Gravity Force had (which I tried to replicate for Gravitation). No Thrust type game has ever bettered Gravity Force (by Kingsoft on the Amiga) in my opinion. I will have another go one day though :)

[UniverseStar]

@DemonStudiosLtd yeah, exactly:3 I'm glad you remember. I subscribed to both of your channels on Twitter and Youtube to stay in touch. Yeah, all this anti-aliased graphics and shiny effects completely kill the nostalgic feeling. Old amiga graphics look alot more attractive for me, I adore pixels. You definitely need to remake this game for online-play:3 BTW I already decided on my future job, I'll be translating / localizing videogames in Russia. I think can give you a hand if you ever need it=)

[atomarporgrindel]

NET YAROZE!!

[dariunas]

What's the track playing man?

[UniverseStar]

@dariunas it's from RBO (ragnarok battle offline)

[AwesomeGuiber]

OMG, youtube suggestions made me noticed that it's a TOTAL rip-off of Gravity Force for the Amiga.

For those who are interested, there are sources of other clones on the Gravity Force wikipedia page.

[yoster39]

someone should make this game for pc with online playing

[Acelif]

Did anyone else find the explosion death bug?

If you crash on the enemy base just right, they will spawn and die to your explosion. Itll then bug and the explosion will get stuck there causing the opponent to constantly die when they spawn

[UniverseStar]

@Acelif yeah, explosions are also made of bullets. and also if you change FPS (by fraps, for example), common bullets will draw lines while they move so you can spam with "walls"

[phoebius]

@Acelif Yeahhh, me too :D

[Zwoens]

respect to whoever made gravitation!

still my favourite game of all time

i bought the demo twice.(just in case)

but they both got annihilated playing it over and over..

please!! bring this game back on the market

or send me a copy ;)

[punknrock01030103]

@UniverseStar Oh please !!! Could i have the source code ??

I'm such a huge fan of this game, and tweaking it and recreating stuff would be soo great !

You would really make me happy !

[reesefrancis]

@UniverseStar yes, that would be very kind of you!

[seksybon]

[1slowhead]

I used to play this for hours. The most addictive game ever. Graphics cannot compete with excellent gameplay.

[IceChaosDragoon]

I remember this little game. It's was so funny ^^

[MrAssassin1337]

whats the name of the song playing?

[DaBlueShadow]

I still have the demo disc for this game and sometimes play it on my PS3 its really fun but i wonder if the PSN would upload these net yaroze games to download and it could be compatible for online play. I would love to face people online on this game.

[Muscleduck]

Is that the game soundtrack? It's awesome.

[UniverseStar]

no, of course its not

[TheNEWfilmfanatic99]

2Iceforsugar

this was released on Demo Disk for playstation in 1998 :3 I'm happy that this disk is still okay, I made the copy on time before the original disk was already unreadable.

[Iceforsugar]

So you're played... demo?

[UniverseStar]

Umm, no, demo disk also included many interesting things like movies, advs and also some games ported from net yaroze.

[Iceforsugar]

Ok.

BTW: You played this with net multi-player?

[UniverseStar]

umm no, it's just the same console

[UniverseStar]

and one more "umm no" for good number xD

[Iceforsugar]

Too bad.

Umm, no (Now is bad number xD (Why I doing this? それわひみつです))

[UniverseStar]

Umm, no, I think number 5 is okay :3

PS, それ＿は＿秘密です＾＾

[Iceforsugar]

I wanted to say "That is a secret" (Like Xellos do ^_^)

[UniverseStar]

yeah, and you did, but you have used "wa" instead of "ha" :3

[Iceforsugar]

But Xellos says "wa", no "ha".

[UniverseStar]

it sounds like "wa" but it's grammatically correct to write "ha"

[Iceforsugar]

Tricky ^_^.

[rei3ko0]
