Llamasoft does TxK for Sony Vita

[gilesgoat]

Well that's the Vita purchased , £101 including 16gb memory card off eBay.
When's Txk out ?

Wednesday in Europe.

Futurlabs have released some Vita home screen wallpaper for their games. Here's their latest:

So I made a couple for TxK, shown on the gnu TxK page on the Llamasoft Archive.

... hum ... ( neophite question ) .. PVB ... "enlighten me" because I am NOT so Vita expert to understand/get this

So you say "people want a TxK background with a round hole to put the icon over it ?" ..

I did not know you can do anything like that ... but given I have "quite a few good screenshots" in PS Vita native res please tell me the dimensions
of that "hole" I can try to make something .. I can put a couple maybe with some "little extra" on the new webpages I am preparing

[Jamesac]

Sent two, actually. Maybe just toss me a review code via forum PM? I've no idea why the e-mails are going astray, but thanks for asking after it.

James

I was after you the same day you wrote it

I am keeping an eye on you ! .. I AM KEEPING EYE ON YOU !!

I think actually what is/can be is Jeff literally submersed by code requests

Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational spam cannon! *pew*pew*



Or not. Glad to hear you've got the media's full attention, though, and good luck digging out from the press coverage.

People don't have to use them, but they can if they want.

If you grab either of mine or the one from the Futurlab link I gave, you'll see the image is a 960x544 png file.

I can send you my blank master if you want?

Edit: Here it is: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/100 ... _blank.png
How to guide;
I select the area outside the circle (I use PSP's magic wand), then paste in a same sized (960x544) image of the wallpaper design I want to use.
Then I select the area inside the circle, expand the selected area about four pixels, so it includes the yellow circle, then I use a suitable blur/soften effect, to give the circle less definition, finally save the final image as a new wallpaper, and upload it to the Vita (I use the browser and save it from a Dropbox link).

If you look at Futurlab's and mine, they're not too bright or 'busy', so the game icon(s) don't get lost in the background.

I was thinking of doing some more with retro Llamasoft art, but will hold off for now.

That's down to Sony, similar as MS stuff on Xbox, it'll appear in regions on the relevant days.

I'll be at work Wednesday, so won't be able to get/play it until I get home anyway.

After clicking that link, the title on the browser page shows as
Review: Llamasoft's TxK is the work of a virtuoso stud.

Question about the Supertapper:

I know there was mention about the tapper being able to be assigned to a button, rather than having to tap the touch screen, but does the button assignment mean that touching the screen no longer works as the tapper?

I ask as I saw a review that said they'd wasted a few tappers with accidental touching of the screen, but they didn't say about it being able to use on a button instead.

[Yak]

Supertapper can be fired by touching the screen or using the circle button, both are active.

I like how they referred to it as the definitive Tempest.

The wife tweets:

Hilarious noises coming from .@angrychap - I think he got to a hard bit...

I think my precise words were "OH YOU FUCKING PISSY WHORE'S CUNT"

Level 16, if anyone's interested. Level 20 can fuck off as well. So can accidentally triggering the tapper when I push right.

[Misfit]

Fuck me

However high my expectations were, and they were *high*, they have been thoroughly dwarfed by reality.

Got to level 14 on my first go - the experience has left me... emotional.

Jeff, it is so fucking good.

Seriously, I can only echo this.

I'd say T2k is one of my all time favourite games, and clearly my favourite arcade game. I know it's early days, but the Jaguar can now be retired from under the TV.

This is a thing of beauty and whilst I still want a version I can project, the Vita is incredible for this. Looking forward to trying it in a dark room later.

Love the way Supertapper can be used as a 'sheepie save'

Can't get my head around the level transition though. I think I must hold it funny as I'm way off centre at the start and don't have time to recover.

Anyway, turn the music levels up, put on headphones and lose yourself!

Great job guys. Well done.

'Luckily' my Vita is low on batteries as I have to do some work and it just wouldn't get done....

Use the left stick. Piece of piss.

...unlike certain other aspects of the game. Whatever questions people might have about the design of this iteration, the ruleset, balance, spikes etc, I can wholeheartedly and assuredly confirm one particular aspect of the Llamasoft twitch-gaming oeuvre... Minter is still very much a cunt

Level 24 now and I'm swearing like an MP who doesn't know he's being recorded.

I'm a gentle vitatilter when it comes to the level transition. But the stick's there for those that prefer to twiddle .

Couldn't help myself and went back for a little more.

Presumably you have to go online to get your scores uploaded? (As I can only see a Pure score of yours at around 200k) which is a shame as it's harder to get a true reflection on what is happening.

I'm on 22 and currently 13th on Classic (Raggedtooth) with a paltry 660k.

Really going to have to try and stop now.
