Marbella Vice for Hypseus Singe:  Coming Soon.
Channel: Widge
Date: 2024-03-01

I'm working on the Hypseus Singe port of Marbella Vice.  Still a long way to go, but some progress made so far.

Trying to keep it visually similar to the original version as seen in the WinUAE emulator, but hopefully a more enjoyable experience.

Not shown in the video are the lives-lost skull icons that appear above the score as lives are lost, but I have used the same image in the settings menu for the cursor.
The settings menu includes optional crosshairs, and a bullet-count option, but it may see some changes, like a different cursor and a free-play option.

You should be able to see my own animations.  Gun flash sprites for hits, dust clouds for misses, bullets flying out of the ammo area, and the colour-changing "Exit" text on the settings screen.

The font used is based on MoonKnight, an Amiga font, as it closely resembles the one used on the Amiga version. I've made some modifications to it to make it a good fit here.

The bezel you see me use here is not my own design, I found it online but I don't like it mainly because the images are distorted from having been squashed.  If you can make a really nice looking bezel, I'd love to see it.
