Using a tile layer for a large sprite or two and traditional "tricks" for more than 2 layers of parallax isn't anything new and there isn't any other way to do these things with the Genesis hardware.

We already have a thread dedicated to games which do more parallax than can technically be achieved "natively".

I designed some parallax for Henshin Engine which simulates two overlapping tile layers with a layer of translucency/shadow in-between, which has multiple levels of translucency. This is ompossible to achieve on SNES natively. But I don't pretend that it's anything more than dynamic tiles or that it's been done several times in the past.

I'm pretty sure you can do that quite easily on the SNES. Either by doing the same effect you did (with less levels of translucency from fewer palettes) or by putting the 3rd layer in the middle and using subtract mode. The 2 layers with shadow in the middle trick has been done even on the NES.

Unless the effect you are talking about is more advanced than this of course.

PY cannot do things the MD hardware cannot do, so it's just doing things games back in the day already did.

To Fonzie's credit, beat'em-ups really did slack off when it came to parallax.

Looks like something should be happening soon. I'm excited to see what WM had been able to cook up.

About exceeding the sprite limit agree with you, i'm entirely skeptical. Now about more parallax layers, Fonz don't say "Project Y will be the first Genesis game that used a new tilemap layer in addition to the other two", he said "to feature more parallax background layers than the hardware natively can do" no method specified.

Anyway, it's almost 5 years of development, hope be positively surprised.

If they're using vertical interrupt tricks to get additional layers out of the machine, Outlander already abuses that for the parts where you need to aim out your car window for your shotgun. :P

Before folks get all fancy with the mystery of the phantom layers, how about we get the games actual name first? 😁

We somehow got information/confirmation about some peripheral before we learned literally anything about this game. But hey, "more parallax background layers than the hardware natively can do!". I have no idea what WM is trying to accomplish here...

Man I love that game(even though it's unfinished, repetitive blah blah) still love it.

It's funny how much non-news gets this thread going. I really hope WM announces something soon. This game is way beyond overcooked. I want to see some gameplay and hear more about the mechanics.

i got a dollar says we at least have a final name by page 300

feelin optimistic today

Project let's import a new console from Brazil and buy a new controller from WM both in 2017 and let's play a game that does things noboby thought were possible on this hardware: Pier Solar.

I Think we will have news around the 10th March or before. New gameplay content will be shown in the Release Official Trailer like XGoldenboyX said.
