Thanks for giving it a go!

Hey fellow games enthusiasts id like to invite willing testsubjects/victims/thrill seekers and masochists to try out my fantasy console ive developed.  Im sure there are bugs and pains and all sorts of issues lol but Id genuinely love to experience the ups and downs of how you make games with my engine!

you can export the games to windows and Mac and anbernic devices too (though i havent officially added that target yet.)

here is a sample of the type of music u can make with it as quick example!

Here is a quick demo of some experimental features for music making i added to it:

you will get a free copy of fred80 of course to play with and you can make 2d or 3d games etc!

Happy to discuss

fred!

Hey all !!

Just published a basic QWOP ragdoll runner inspired by Frank Sidebottom! Well a distant cousin in fact named Frank Thrumpbottom.

Feel free to annoy yourselves with it and let me know if you can beat my record of a measley 20 meters!

Let me know if it works on your machine - I only tested the Mac version.

I created it with the fantasy console / games engine FRED80 !!

thats great Todd!

Any idea what sort of game your wanting to make? If you have any trouble or need a hand or want some extra features just shout out and i can do my best to make it better!

Hey Todd congrats on getting the v4 that sounds awesome!

About the screensaver you can  drop a fred80.cfg next to the FRED-80 binary to override defaults. So create that file next to the fred80.m68k file.

Set ss_timeout (in seconds) to change it, or set it very high to effectively disable it.

# fred80.cfg ss_timeout = 30

Let me know if that works for you!

If you look at https://fred80.dev/examples.html there are a bunch of examples you can copy paste into fred80.  Ive not tried copying and pasting from the website into fred80 on my v4 before though!

I dont makis but i can try to make u one if u give me a few days

hi Makis do you mean like a demo version of fred80?

Hi Todd,  Ive been quite busy but Ive implemented the copy paste feature you mentioned.  Ill try to upload the new version this weekend!

Hi Todd,

to save you press Control + S, to run Control +R.  I dont have a windows device to throughly test on just my sons laptop (which I rarely get access to)  if you run into any issues with the saving etc let me know and i can wrench the laptop form him and check.

The examples you would have to type in but they are quite small.  I tested them so they definately work

I can set up a discussion forum in this itch.

With the copy paste of the examples into Fred80 - ive been considering that.  I can try to implement that this weekend and send it to you if that makes things easier while you experiment with fred80.

Hi Todd thanks so much.

I've been busy on my website creating detailed examples to get people started.  Take a look and let me know how you get along or if anything can be made clearer.  I'll be spending this evening testing them on the A6000 (just finished tests with the Mac).

I really look forward to seeing what you can make with Fred80.

While you wait for your v4 you cant still mac games on the windows or Mac version and they would still work on the vampire once you get it.  It might work on the v2 I just haven't tested it on those versions as I don't own one.

Also there will be a new release in the coming days too which will allow you to create a distribution package so you can share with friends any games you make or post it to itch too so the players of the game wont need fred80 to play it.

Have fun!

Here are the examples ^

FRED-80 is in Beta if you have any issues with it let me know I'll try to resolve as soon as i can.

Let me know your wish list of features.  I have a cosy shell in development which Ill update as soon as I can

Thanks Patricio,  
hope you have fun with it!

What is this witchery of a game...

You have done a fantastic job doing this! Is so wonderful to see what was my favorite speccy game of all time remade perfectly.
