We are working now in the video compression. The video loops a few times in the demo but in the real game it will only appear once, and when the sequence ends there will be a little white flash and then, the title screen. For now here you have one of our tests with the intro video.

the vid looks nice, i only dislike the first part where there are a bit too many black pixels(blocks?!) perhaps a bit less dithering would look better.

also saw the menu from the other game, with that scrolling background, and it looks magnificent! you are surely getting some good results from a lame msx1 Smile

Yes, the diffusion filter looks very noisy. Really it's our fist test, there is much to optimize, i must probably modify each frame separately to get the better performance Sad. But the main goal with this test was to reproduce a 64x32 (x15 colors) video using 25 frames, and we've done it. Now is the time to optimize things and find a better compression. Smile

BTW, I've updated Karoshi's web site with some final shots from "Duck Hunt". Expect a final release very soon! Smile
