Cauldron C64 remake - (test flight)

[aenever]

I grew up with the C64 and thought Cauldron was one of the best games out. For nostalgic reasons, I've decided when I get the chance I'll construct a remake. I'm certain I won't be able to nail the feel exactly, yet that could be a good thing as the controls were a bit restricted and it was a ridiculously difficult game.

Anyway, as I make any progress I'll add videos and examples.

Here's a quick update, the first video had a small glitch

Here's a quick update:

Tiling the background trees / scenery etc in 256 by 256 tiles has improved the scrolling remarkably. Not that it really mattered; when playing the original I noticed it had very choppy scrolling. Regardless, the C64 for it’s time was extraordinary. Afterall, The improvements I think are cool while retaining a sense of retro. I’m making a homage not a clone
