Zurich, 8 de abril de 2024 – Un anuncio reciente ha generado oleadas de anticipación en toda la comunidad de Commodore 64 cuando un pequeño equipo de entusiastas, reconocidos en la escena C64, revelaron su último proyecto. Anunciado originalmente el 1 de abril de 2024, como un homenaje a un clásico juego de plataformas de 40 años, el proyecto enfrentó obstáculos inesperados para alinearse con la propiedad intelectual original.

A la luz de estos obstáculos y con el máximo respeto por la propiedad intelectual original, el equipo ha tomado la decisión de someterse a revisiones importantes para garantizar un lanzamiento exitoso. El juego, ahora titulado "Timo's Castle", promete ofrecer una experiencia de juego retro inolvidable manteniendo estándares éticos y legales.

- X ABC algorithm Random Number Generator from codebase64 inserted into the game
- at the start of the game you need to interact with the joystick 2 for added entropy in RNG start.
- the player needs to push the joy2 button and upon releasing it, the RNG seed is set with the user interaction information.
- The Game clock is now set with PAL/NTSC info, 1 second is 60 frames in NTSC and 50 in PAL
- The original game ran slower on PAL systems as one second was 60 frames on all versions.
- The game has PAL/NTSC detection, I used that for setting the clock tick value.
- After the game over laughter, the screen shakes and blanks to white, the screen isn't centered and black color peeked from the edges.
- Restored default screen values after shaking.
- Added code to play samples more loudly on 8580.
- the Vice seems to distort but plays ok on real hw.
- TNT helped with proposing packing Elvin Atombender gfx
- TNT supplied packed data and unpack-routine
- 1k color info now takes only 157bytes
- IRQ and File-saving routines moved lower in memory
- saving works now with action replay active
- FC3 corrupts the screen after saving, but save works and you can restart the game using RUN/STOP, RESTORE or both.
- the time-out game over scene, bugs and features.
- the last byte of the bank is visible
- elevator sprites make the scene look broken
- the last byte of the bank is now cleared during the screen shake and restored afterward.
- the elevator wall sprite is turned off and the ceiling sprite is moving with the screen
