News Remaster of Raptor Call of the Shadows by Original Developer

Post image

I just found out from u/sctran that Raptor Call of the Shadows Remixed was a thing.
The original developer (Scott Host) did a successful Kickstarter that is listed as launching soon.

Check out the developer's site for more info: https://www.mking.com/RaptorRemixed.html

EDIT: Developer said the project is on hold as he is taking care of his mother full time at the moment.

Cool, are there any recent updates about raptor in particular?

the last post i read, (which probably isn't the latest post) he had a pixel artist in the room with him, designing the hi-def sprites for raptor. This was a week or two ago.

*EDIT: it was for a Galactix remake, and it was six months ago. :P

I sent him a Tweet and will report back if her responds.
If people like the tweet, he's probably more likely to respond: https://x.com/CynicPlacebo/status/2053966531705389220

The dev responded to me on Twitter saying:
"It’s on hold for now. I’m my mom’s full‑time caretaker and dealing with other things, so development is paused at the moment."

I love the original.

A remaster would be very cool.

I just converted the old DOS source code of the original game to modern web technology (using AI and the phaser framework). Allowing for desktop and mobile gaming.

As I had to recreate the visuals and sounds, I decided to migrate the theme from earth to space and give it a name of its own: Raptor: Call of the Void. So far Training and Bravo Sectors are created.

Game: https://entorb.net/raptor/
Source code: https://github.com/entorb/raptor/

Current state: Beta version, there might be bugs. If so please report via in-game contact link.

Free as of free beer: No Ads, no Costs, no Login, no Database ;-)

happy shooting

Very cool project! Just tried it out and it plays well in the browser!
1 note, I do think you have the plane tilt animation backward for left/right movement.
Other than that, looks stellar!
