Athanor 2 The legend of the bird men
Re: Athanor 2 The legend of the bird men
Each bug advances randomly from 0 to 3 pixels at each turn of the loop. For this recording, I was lucky to win the race after only 2 rounds. Sometimes it can be much longer

Hi Dom!
Coder/Artist of the Amiga version here. I wanted to let you know that I was really amazed by your incredible work on the ORIC version. In the graphics department, you did an extraordinary job, for a 8bit machine and especially considering the limitations of the Red & Black machine.
Great work!
I was curious a bit about your workflow... Did you repaint every image from scratch?
Re: Athanor 2 The legend of the bird men
I agree. The graphics are astonishing!
Re: Athanor 2 The legend of the bird men
Thanks astrofra
Well, I'll try to explain my "workflow"
I started from the cpc sreens to draw oric's screens.
The first thing to do is to change the picture into greyscale with PSP5 and adjust brightness/contrast to get something as close to a black/white picture as possible, without losing to much details in the picture...
The size of CPC screen is 640 x 400 pixels, so the second thing to do is to devide the size of the cpc screens by two in order to get a 320 x200 pixels picture. Once done, I still had 80 pixels in excess on the x coordinates of the screen
I choose to "cut" these pixels in the middle of the picture (red rectangle in the picture below)
I also errased Athanor 2 in the blue rectangle)
Then I used PICTCONV (from the OSDK) to convert the file "atha.png" picture into an oric hires image.
Once that done, it is an iterative job of going back and forth from Hires to png, trying to color the picture without destroying too much the pixels arrangement of the original black and white picture.
This image only shows 6 of the multiple trials I did The last image shows, on the last 3 TEXT lines of the HIRES screen, "ATHANOR 2" written in red characters redefined from the alternate characters set .
Regarding the tools used, Pictconv is a very great tool but it doesn't allow to postion the graphic attributes at a specific location in the Hires screen. To do that, and many other things , OricHir from greg is also a very usefull tool.

Re: Athanor 2 The legend of the bird men
What I found the most amazing was how Dom achieved to make some grey colour effect.
