¡Ea, a pasarlo bien!
Pensaba que incluia los 2 juegos pero que cada uno se jugaba con su partida correspondiente. lord_raymon escribió:He flipado con eso de que se pueda pasar al modo original o HD en mitad de la partida

¿En qué parte de la entrevista se menciona que se pueda cambiar el modo en mitad de la partida?

En la pagina 77 Chui dice: Entiendase que cuando terminemos se podra jugar al mismo juego de 2 maneras: retro y HD... y ahi es donde yo me he venido arriba, me he montado mi paja mental y poco mas puedo decir
Hello, Kickstarters!
It’s time for news about Pier Solar and the whole development process! Behind the scenes, one of the most recent updates is that we already have sections of the game actually running on Wii U, as well as on OUYA! Our programmers in Europe and USA have been dedicated their time and passion to accomplish the best results. The programming for the Wii U platform is running smoothly which – obviously – makes us even more excited and motivated!
Talking about motivation, we had to boost up our energies to go through a big challenge: to find the most assertive graphic concept for Pier Solar HD. Matching the original concept to the new technology is not an easy process. We have worked on multiple techniques throughout the past months and it often seemed to step away from what we desire Pier Solar HD to be.
After a considerable number of tests and changes during the first maps that were produced, Fonzie and the team of designers finally put together the pieces that best translates the spirit of the game. Following, some samples of the game graphics – work in progress, but advanced enough so you can have a good idea of what the HD graphics look like!
-> From quick & rough conceptual sketch to final, there is always a lot of revisions... Actually endless! Whoever do Graphic Design knows what that means!
-> Maps are first designed without any lighting or special effects so it makes updates and revision quicker. They are applied only when all maps are ready.
-> Reja forest! How sweet! Note that it's missing the animated leafs falling from the trees, it's actually implemented but not enabled yet.
-> Careful control of lighting and effects is very important so pixel art elements merge perfectly with painted parts. Control over lighting is something that is nearly impossible on Genesis/Mega Drive, so here we really unleash the full potential of our map designs!
-> What place can it be?
-> Careful calibration is being made so the font reads easily from HD TV, yet, it stays as close as possible from original game. Again, this is very subject to updates as we reach completion.

-> Turning flat 2D artwork into "3D layers" is surely different on MegaDrive than Modern Platforms. It's a homemade trick, very effective!
-> Testing VMU! Who said the VMU isn't capable? We got 3 shades grayscale using special tricks! We got it overclocked to 600KHz too!
-> More VMU testing... Ok ok, lets go back to main game programming & bug fixing!
-> Porting game from Genesis/Mega Drive to HD is done, but few bugs had to be fixed due to major hardware change and the thousand lines of code that had to be changed.
More updates to come! Stay tunned! And don't forget to leave us your feedback in the coments section!

What’s up, Kickstarters!
Here it goes a quick update for all of you! Are you curious to see what the awesome rewards look like? Well, here is a sneak peek of the incredible work in progress of the exclusive Pier Solar HD Poster for the Collector’s Edition!
This poster is going to be AMAZING! The artwork, by Armen, the original characters designer of Pier Solar, is breathtaking! It will be silkscreen printed on traditional paper, to enhance the picture quality and definition!
The silkscreen printing process demands a strong artwork with solid colors, and that artwork soon proved to be a good match.
Armen has also been working on another artwork – not yet revealed – for the small paper print. It will also be signed, and shipped with every Collector’s Edition!
Yes, this was a short update, but don’t worry: there is much more to come soon! We are preparing another updated, this time on the figurines! Yeah!!! The action figures will drive you nuts!
So stay tuned for the upcoming news!

The development process has been stable for all of the platforms, and the major part right now is regarding to the actual story update for the Director’s Cut. Lots and lots of work ahead, but great changes for good to come.

Hello, everyone, I’m Savior, a.k.a. kenshin_sp for those of you who have been around the internet forums and message boards, and for those who don’t know me, I’ve been working for WM for a while now, developing Pier Solar Strategy Guide.
So, from now on – since we’re on the final stages of its development – we will be writing a few articles to make sure you also get involved with our work. I’m proud to inform you that right now we have finished about 80% of the guide, and not too much is missing. Meanwhile, we’re working on including some of the HD content to the personal guide, and I actually had the chance to have some fun with the Beta game. I can assure you, it is nothing less than FANTASTIC.
So, after talking to Tulio – our “Last Boss”, and the evil mind behind Pier Solar remake and its exclusive extra content – I was finally allowed to (after hours of negotiation – okay, after hours of imploration) publish these short articles and some screenshots of the game I made, so here is what I have for you today:
1) Rejas Hoston’s house let´s leave June´s lecture for…
2) Edd – my favorite character – therefore I’m including his cinematic that no one had seen yet!
3) OMG dromedaries crises!!!
4) Even Captain Purjus looks awesome in HD!
So, what do you think? Awesome, isn’t it? Ok, Tulio, enough screenshots for today!
Well, that’s it for now, it’s all I have to share with you. Soon, our Last Boss will publish a new video talking about the last development steps ahead of us for the HD version, so stay tuned!
In my next post I will talk about the Strategy Guide development and how the whole process of making it works, who knows, maybe we even get the inspiration for one more brand new page for the guide, it all depends on your requests!
PS: Remember that the HD version of Pier Solar will count on exclusive extra content, mini-games, extra gameplay hours, trophies, and more WM Special Juice, you bet! If you haven’t yet guaranteed your copy, you can find all versions of the game and the Strategy Guide available for pre-order at our online Shop! Run and get your Dreamcast copy, because your touchy tears won’t help when you realize that they were all gone!
Hugs,
Savior
