Get a load of this znigger.

The joke is that British games had ridiculous corny names with hideous mascots. You’re too much of a bike thieving purple znigger to laugh though.

>le epic gamer word
This is top banter lads.

>>9607392
It really is, isn't? All you need to do is say it and people like you will lose their minds! It truly has endless mileage.

Huh, so that's why it works so well on you.

>>9607378
You’re a wog

>>9607415
Dullards who think that screeching the gamer word like a pack of smoothbrained hyenas is the height of wit are not well situated to evaluate what makes for good banter in my experience. The fact that you consider yourself some kind of arch provocateur makes you seem even more clown-like.

>>9607416
Top. Banter.

>>9607419
You’re malding because someone told you the gamer word isn’t that funny.

>>9607424
no, you.

>>9607428
What the fuck is “malding”?

>>9607448
zoomerspeak. Why do you think he gets offended by words to begin with?

>>9607450
You’re literally seething because I told you your hackneyed le epic edgelord gamer word banter is shite. You’re definitely a slap head as well. Big fuck off shiny bald spot on top of your bonce.

>>9607505
Piss off, ya runt

Anyone have a link to the original thread? Been forever since I've heard people talk about zniggy

OH MY SCIENCE! DID YOU JUST SAY LE EPIC GAMER WORD? THAT IS SO TRANSGRESSIVE! SUCH GROUND BREAKING SATIRE WOULD MAKE PETER COOK BLUSH!! THE BANTER IS SO ADVANCED THAT I MIGHT ACTUALLY SHART INSIDE ME KNICKERS AND SOIL THEM PROPER!

ARE YOU OFFENDED YET, LIBERAL? YOU BETTER CRAWL BACK TO YOUR SJW SAFE SPACE BEFORE I SAY LE EPIC GAMER WORD AGAIN, TRANNY … (IM TOTALLY NOT A SMOOTHBRAIN NPC WITH MALE PATTERN BALDNESS HONEST GUISE!! LOOK IM SAYING THE GAMER WORD!! MY BANTER IS TRANSGRESSIVE!!! IM TRANSGRESSING!!!)

>>9605425
But it's s lazy ST port with 16 color palette.

>>9609569
Is was usually the ST versions that were lazy Amiga ports.

>>9609705
ST was generally weaker than Amiga (except for raw CPU speed which was important mostly for 3D games), so many studios were using ST as a baseline system and developing ports to more powerful system later. The same reason why people kept releasing OCS-compatible Amiga games in the 90s instead of taking advantage of AGA specs.

>>9605414
I remember someone posting great screens from the gameboy port, anyone got that?

>>9607750
yes, you shutting the fuck up

>>9609764
Theres a fork to a gameboy port from the repo posted here
but I have no idea what state it is in.

OH MY SCIENCE! DID YOU REALLY JUST DROP THE GAMER WORD? THE LEVEL OF TRANSGRESSION IS BEYOND MY COMPREHENSION. I DO CONSIDER MYSELF A CHAD AND I AM DEFINITELY NOT BEYOND NUMBER THREE ON THE NORWOOD SCALE BUT THIS IS STILL A LITTLE TOO MUCH FOR ME. SO LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT. YOU PUT A Z IN FRONT OF THE GAMER WORD. THEN MADE LE EPIC MEME ABOUT A FAKE SPECCY
GAME (BEST MICRO EVER BY THE WAY). TITLE OF THE GAME IS A PUN ON THE GAMER WORD. I JUST CANT. IM LITERALLY SHAKING WITH MIRTH. I MIGHT EVEN DO A LITTLE POO. THE LEVEL OF SATIRE HERE IS SO INTENSE THAT I MIGHT LITERALLY OPEN MY BUM CHEEKS AND SHART INTO THE MOUTH OF RANDOM PASSERBY.

It's the end of the working week
And I'm rushing back home quick
I'm bored lad
Me computer you know
Has less memory than a brick
I need simple games without the fuss
Played on a chicklet keyboard that just bloody sucks
I said I'm sorry love, I want ZX Speccy

Me Speccy, me Speccy
Sinclair ZX Speccy
But you keep giving me consoles
They don't agree with me
I don't want Super Mario
or Final Fantasy
I'm a gaming man from Lancashire
And I play ZX Speccy

It's dark when I run the loading screen
It's dark when I can the start the game
And I all I want is simple fun
Not plots that are insane

The manual is longer than a book
Am I playing it?
Am I f...
It's friday night
And i want a ZX Speccy

Me Speccy, me Speccy
Sinclair ZX Speccy
But you keep giving me consoles
They don't agree with me
I don't want posh Amiger
or Amstrad CPC
It's friday night, I'm within me rights
And I want ZX Speccy

>And in the Yank game room William just bought proprietary cartridge with a bunch of Wog plumbers jumping on top of turtles or some nonce shite like that for twenty five dollars
>And in the Lancashire game room Bernard's brought back from the corner shop Manic Miner, Horace, and a bunch of other games on cassettes programmed by me mates in their bedrooms all for four quid haha

Me Speccy, me Speccy
Sinclair ZX Speccy
But you keep giving me consoles
They don't agree with me
I don't want Sonic the Hedgehog
No Street Fighter for me
I'm a gaming man from Lancashire
And I wants ZX Speccy

In Monty you drive a C5
In Manic Miner you fall in pits
You keep giving me games in 3D
And I just want eight bits!

I don't care if it's one of Kojima's
I think that's a funny name for a geeza
I'M NOT PLAYING IT
I want ZX Speccy
One last time
Me Speccy, me Speccy
Sinclair ZX Speccy
But you keep giving me consoles
They don't agree with me
You can keep your Super Mario
And Final Fantasy
I'm a gaming man from Lancashire
And I wants ZX Speccy

>>9610698
bloody good

I drew the box art. It was based on image related, but I was trying to go for that weird creepy quasi cartoony look.

>>9610762
Also, I added the snake in the image, because many 80's mascot platformer artwork seemed to have a random snake on the box. Image is kinda blurry, used a paint program.

>>9605414
Zniggy is clearly the work of a gay, racial fetishist. I fully support this dev.

Daily reminder that Zniggy threads are more relevant to /vr/ than anything 6th gen, with the exception the Dreamcast.

>gameboy port
It wouldn't be a dogshit Eurojank computer game without Ocean bringing it over to a console.

>>9605414
Watch out, Ultima. The ol zed spec gonna snob you out with Znig

>>9605414
Isometric platformer for the Genesi--I mean, Mega Droive.

>>9605414
My take on Zniggy 2 would be a Wizardry clone for the Spectrum or preferably a computer with better floppy disk support for easier saving/loading. Anons could contribute by creating enemies, adding rooms and shortcuts to the map, or coming up with spells, items, and abilities for classes to use. The classes could be based off of British stereotypes. The game takes place after the first and your goal is to traverse the dungeon to defeat the last living Zniggy.

Are we going to make this a real thing? I'd like to contribute this time.

>>9605414
I contributed a couple of levels and sprites/tiles to the original Zniggy. A dungeon crawler would probably be an ideal format in terms of a relatively low asset/content bar for anons to reach, though it will obviously need an anon with very strong programming skills in whatever engine is chosen if it is to get anywhere. The Speccy had a few dungeon crawlers fwiw

Seems like the discussion is converging on a dungeon crawler. Out of all the suggestions I find doing it for the C64 to be the most convenient since there's an llvm backend, thus it could be written in a high level language and should allow simple ports to other 6502 platforms. The assembly code I wrote last time was unmaintainable garbage that made collaboration on the code side of things impossible, so I'd like to avoid assembly this time. I think it's more interesting to do a different platform each Zniggy release for comparison's sake, anyways.
I'll implement whatever designs you guys come up with as long as it's possible to do so.

What's the music gonna be like?

>>9613885
Might as well make Zniggy 2 for the Commodore 64, it was really popular in the UK, in part for cassette tapes, in part for being generally the best value option, but my main argument is becue the Commodore 64 can actually do Wizardry proper.

>Out of all the suggestions I find doing it for the C64 to be the most convenient since there's an llvm backend, thus it could be written in a high level language and should allow simple ports to other 6502 platforms.
Yes, exactly!

>>9614672
I mainly observed last time, but did contribute the last three rooms since nobody else wanted to. Just tell me what you need and I'll see what I can do.

>>9615528
The C64 has a great soundchip for the time so we can actually have some proper tunes
>>9615761
When I said Wizardry I had meant Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord but going for an isometric style seems like a good idea given its popularity on the Spectrum
>>9615785
Well I'm not a designer but if we're making a dungeon quest then we can start with an isometric Zniggy sprite with a walking animation

>>9616106
>isometric Zniggy sprite with a walking animation
Is isometric for sure what we're doing? Because top-down and those first person things seemed to be common dungeon crawlers on the c64.

>>9616127
Any perspective works, although I'm not personally a fan of top down perspective. Isometric would be hard to collaboratively design for so maybe a first person approach is the way to go, could just make a giant grid that anons can add rooms to.

>>9616337
Personally I think that top-down view would be much easier to execute for others (pixel artists, level designers and such) than the first-person view, although FPP sounds way more exciting.
Oh and btw. I'm the one who made those zniggy threads in 2019 and coordinated the project. That was a good year, anons. Such a good year.

>>9613885
this, Lady Teragram sends Zniggy on a mission to clear out the sewers or something like that

>>9616337
>>9616556
first person would be my take, then anons only have to draw one shitty picture and you have an enemy. Having the game be a pub crawl/drug trip would be also acceptable, let people just put any stupid shit into the game.

>>9616556
>>9616580
We could do the Ultima thing where you have a top down overworld and first person dungeons. Sounds like a lot of content would be required though, and the last Zniggy project really slowed down for the last few rooms, as >>9615785 mentions. I think first person might be the easiest since it's just a series of interconnected rooms, and most of those types of games looks like they were designed randomly anyways.
In the end it's first come first serve, whoever has a preference for one should draw an interface for the 320x200 16 color C64 screen, it can be a rough draft without much detail that just splits up the different sections. Could even just sketch it in a minute and hope someone else puts it into the right technical limitations.

I can't remember if he's actually in the final game, but I put an evil yellow Zniggy in the first game who just stands there and does nothing except kill you if you walk into it. The joke in my head was that the "developers" had some elaborate backstory for this character, but it never got written in anything. I thought it would be funny if a sequel ever got made, and it acts like the player is supposed to know who the hell this is. (although thinking about it, it's even funnier if he never made it into the final version of the first game to begin with)

>>9616672
>C64
You mean Acorn or BBC Micro.

>>9605414
Znigger

>>9616687
going backward to a school computer wouldn't make a lot of sense for a sequel. gotta stay in more relevant places.

Who made Zniggy anyways? Deano Chadderton?

>>9616684
Zyiggy?

someone should make a main theme for the game, to set the tone for the project

Is mouse support within scope for this project? I'm imagining an interface a bit like Tass Town picrel, goofy pictorial menu for common actions, text box for action readouts/combat info, and the perspective window. imo what would be absolutely kino would be to stay within theme of the original Zniggy in that you start in a park, and then having a smorgasbord collection of shady alleyways, sewers, etc populated with the classic Zniggy enemies we all love, sort of an urban-dungeon thing.

Nobody gives a flying fuck about your racist white supremacist chudcel fake game aside from a handful of bald 40 somethings who post on a dying anime website lmao

It could work. Zniggy! was a cult classic, but was way over budget for its publisher, so they had to make the sequel for an older platform to market dungeon-crawlers for a new audience (knowing hardcore Zniggy! fans would buy more hardware just to play their next masterpiece). Gargoyles Quest II is the only back-platform I can think of, but I think there are a few others.

>>9620956
There's Mega Man & Bass.

well, it's something...
but the tooling for maps and tilesets are all over the place.
half the shit just doesn't work or works rather poorly, so it's a major pain in the ass to convert images to tilesets, and save tilemaps
at least we can include binary files rather easily with gbdk (although the analyzer spits errors left and right) and write the game in C (which will make the game extra janky free of charge since it will probably be very inefficient and slow).

i think we might need to write our own little python scripts or find some sane mapping tool that can
1. import plain png as tilesets using only 4 colors
2. export & import binary tilemaps and tileset tile data (laid out as in gameboy format)

3 (optional): write some C header with map width and height, tileset name and map name and so on. (we will probabyl have to make this ourselves).

>>9605414
Move Znig for great justice.

Zniggette when?
