🐔 Chicken Invaders 1 Remastered #11

[Kosta]

Was this seriously done in just a few days? Holy shit that’s amazing, also really love the remix, just wish i didn’t have to be forced to play in 4:3.

[gabytzu]

why on max resolution is 16:9?..it should be 4:3 ?
than it seems that is harder from the begining or it’s just my impression?
and the on big chick it will remain like the original one? I mean the eggs should dissapear or not?
same think when you fire a missle the eggs should dissapear
and about the colors of the chicken will remain allways the same?

and as a first impression wow just wow…an 1999 game teleported on 2023 with succes …
I already see some garbage remastered games without make some names

[Ericbruh]

I know this is stupid but aren’t the low graphics we’re supposed to remove all the smoke trails and particles like in the original game?

[Sammarald]

For some reason there is a memory leak on this menu screen. It keeps allocating more memory until it crashes after reaching 2 GB of memory after three minutes or so.
The error message mentions the vertex buffer

[OneWingLunarian]

the firerate is slow, can you make it faster?

CIU Download topic?

The game is good, but my mouse gets outside of the windowed gmae, and i can’t move for that time.

[TrophyHunter]

Does the food originally is not this bouncy enough to reach the ship?

The remastered version of the game is very amazing. But there’re both thing that i’m pretty sure it’s somekind like placeholder:

1. May i ask: what’s the purpose for this?
   

2. So does that means that there will be more special weapon aside missiles?
   

Netherless, it’s still amazing. Now all the Chicken Invaders games has been remastered.
Good Job!

[VerMishelb]

Yes, that was also the issue of CI2.

[OfficalK12]

this is not a 1920×1080 resolution
somehow it scaled to 4:3

if the picture is blurry, that is the
phone fault

[OfficalK12]

but untick the letterbox it turn to original resolution

[CattyCheese]

wide (1920x1080 without letterbox)
also intended as description said

[RainbowBoyVN]

@InterAction_studios

Native resolution is 640x480, 4:3 aspect ratio.

[EhadBalayla]

is it ok if i will backup all beta versions? the more this game gets updated? (cuz now it says beta 0.1)

[EhadBalayla]

also whatever you do, if you are gonna add languages (i guess not cuz its a remaster not a remake) but still, don’t add Hebrew

[Bandicoot]

Thanks.

@iIfireIi

“Press fire to join” is covered by FPS

@iIfireIi

Can you remove the red FPS graph

Turn it off

@iIfireIi

Score is too close to heart meter, can you move it slightly away?

No matter how far I move it, it will eventually overlap.

@iIfireIi

Same happens in CIU
Solution: Press F7 again.

I’m not doing anything with F7 (especially). It could be some other piece of software on your PC that uses that as a keyboard shortcut (perhaps doing video recording? that would explain the FPS drop)

@Sammarald

still seems to have CIU text leftovers

Fixed

@Sammarald

and is called CIU in task manager

Fixed

@PlasmaX

Can you add the CI1 download link to the “Download CIU” topic

Not here. It will eventually appear on interactionstudios.com

@Sammarald

What were these?

I don’t know. I imported the whole folder by accident, and they were there. Probably unused/superseded. Removed.

@Sammarald

The code for egg movement seems like it was changed, because now it is possible for eggs to move up instead of down on the minus waves

Code is the same. A had a quick look and this is an RNG issue. Borland’s RNG will return positive numbers when passed negative ranges. Some more digging reveals that the % operator discards signs in Borland, but preserves them in Microsoft’s compiler. This is odd. I was under the impression that it was codified in the C standard. Maybe the compiler is too old, or non-compliant.

Anyway, won’t fix.

@Sammarald

Cheating still qualifies for a high score

Not any more. Changed.

@theawesomesonic

if you skip the cutscene at the beginning of the game, the music that accompanies it will not stop playing when you start a new game

By default, music keeps on playing throughout. You can turn off the “In-game music” option.

@PlasmaX

Also for people that only use keyboards, you can’t actually fire

Looks like you’ve changed the bindings yourself. If you press “Reset to default” on the previous screen, does the “Space” return next to “primary fire”?

@Omaruvu

I have a question will you add official online leaderboards like in the episodes?

With all the cheating going on? No.

@Platinum

You might need to add a heart and missile counter my guy.

Lives are now specified as “x ???” if you have more than 3. I’ve left missiles as-is, because it’s much rarer for them to overlap.

@Platinum

gameplay feels slow, you might want to make it faster (game is locked on 30 FPS

This is not possible to change, as was explained in this series.

@VerMishelb

switching from keyboard to mouse results in mouse being wherever it was

Fixed (although I don’t think switching between input methods mid-game is a common occurrence)

@VerMishelb

The spacecraft is not centred most of time

Indeed, the rendering was off-center (even in the original). Fixed.

@VerMishelb

these lightning issues which were hidden by the low resolution of original game are now apparent.

Suprisingly, there were NO lights (!) in the original file. I’ve added one and tried to match previous shades (it’s not perfect)

@VerMishelb

the network predictor circle is way too opaque

I don’t want to do opacity effects, but I’ve changed the colour to make less conspicuous

@VerMishelb

like the ones going from hitting Earth

I had a close look, but I can’t find anything wrong. Maybe just that, due to the 2x scaling up, the particles seem to be positioned slightly inaccurately. How does it compare against CI2? Do you think CI2 explosions look more/less correct?

@VerMishelb

the game feels slower than original

The original was at 26.3 fps, this is at 25 fps. I’ve changed it, but I doubt it would make such a significant impact.

@VerMishelb

you can’t shoot with keyboard without taking controls off from the mouse.

I’ve changed this (you still have to click at the “press fire to start” screen so that the game knows you want to use the mouse, however)

@gabytzu

why on max resolution is 16:9?

That’s your screen’s actual resolution. It has nothing to do with the aspect ratio of the game (which is indeed 4:3)

@Ericbruh

aren’t the low graphics we’re supposed to remove all the smoke trails and particles like in the original game

No. Nowadays there’s more than enough horsepower.

@Sammarald

there is a memory leak on this menu screen

Ah, right. The new text leaks. Fixed.

@OneWingLunarian

the firerate is slow, can you make it faster

Click faster.

@Rippi_17

my mouse gets outside of the windowed gmae, and i can’t move for that time

Fixed.

@TrophyHunter

Does the food originally is not this bouncy enough to reach the ship

Physics should be exactly the same.

@RainbowBoyVN

what’s the purpose for this

To enter your name in the highscores

@RainbowBoyVN

So does that means that there will be more special weapon aside missiles

Oversight. Fixed.
