Reboot is at it again this time with a Modern look retro platform game currently titled: Jumping at Shadows.

I personally have not seen an Atari Jaguar game with this look and feel - it really looks like one of the new
Modern Retro titles that you see on the Switch - a real different look for the Atari Jaguar but what I see so far,
I like. Reboot always has the attention to detail turned up and when its ready you can expect a polished and
professional game - I am sure of it. Check Out the current progress!

The parallax scrolling on this game is amazing. I love the music too. The main character has a good look as well. I am liking just everything about this game the more I look at it and cannot wait to see MOAR!

Reboot is awesome. They have been putting out some solid stuff from the ST Ports to Last Strike plus all the help they give Phoboz on his stuff too. The Raptor and Jag Studio tools too!

Yeah they have put out a lot of great stuff. I got my Jaguar about a year ago and it was seeing the homebrew community that pushed me to get one. Although, I am still yet to pick up a homebrew game but will do it soon. There's definitely a lot I got to catch up on lol

The best looking games from Reboot and published by Atari Age from what I have seen are Last Strike and Gravitic Mines. The ones by Phoboz that look good are the Kings of Edom and the Asteroite or whatever and those are being published by Songbird.

April Update from Reboot on Game progress. I am loving the way this game takes advantage of the Parallax scrolling and the lighting effects. Just the whole atmosphere of this thing is just great, imho.


Level starts at 0:52.

New stuff: - Revamped Dash mechanics with visual feedback
- new tileset
- new backdrop
- 2 new robots: big "mech suit" (Big Sprite!) and "super bounce bot" (the 3rd new robot is not in the video)
- new laser trap
- more music and sound FX

- Current build has 12 levels playable

Here is the latest update to Jumping at Shadows for the Atari Jaguar from Reboot.

The AtariAge stand at PRGE will have a WIP 5 level playable demo of "Jumping at Shadows" for people to check out.
We will most likely also release this demo online as well during the show for anyone who can't attend in person.

Have you played the demo yet? I really enjoyed it! I'm definitely looking forward to buying the game when it comes out.

Not yet. CyranoJ from Reboot just recently made all the ST ports playable on the BPE emulator but I am not sure if that is the same for Jumping at Shadows. I still have all my Jaguar stuff but it is not currently hooked up. I would need to get one of those HDMI converters if I wanted to dust it off and play it on real hardware.

    Recently tried out ChatGPT about WE triggering. Wow it's capable of giving a somewhat legitimate response.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am sure it has read all the info on the forums here
  • The Helper The Helper:
    i think triggering is just scripting and chatgpt is real good at code
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Yeah I suppose so. It's interesting how it can explain in so much detail.
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    But yet it won't work.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    it does a bad ass job doing excel vba code it has leveled me up at my job when I deal with excel that is for sure
  • vypur85 vypur85:
    Nice! I love Excel coding as well. Has always been using Google to help me. Maybe I'll use ChatGPT next time when I need it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    yeah whatever it puts out even if it is not perfect I can fix it and the latest version of chatgpt can create websites from pictures it will not be long until it can do that with almost all the tools

    Im worried they'll change things for worse
  • jonas jonas:
    A lot more low quality content, a lot more half-baked stuff.
  • jonas jonas:
    If you're good enough to spot the mistakes of the answers you don't need it in the first place. If you aren't good enough, you're gonna rely on some half-correct stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    the earlier AI is and has been used extensively for publishing news and other content for a while now
  • jonas jonas:
    I used to be active on quora, it's now flooded with extremely similar, superficial answers that often miss the point of the question
