Nightshade

Nightshade es un action-adventure isométrico: te mueves por un mundo dibujado en perspectiva tridimensional, con desplazamiento suave en pantalla gracias al motor Filmation II (una evolución técnica de lo que ya vimos en Knight Lore y Alien 8).

La historia te sitúa en el pueblo de Nightshade, envuelto en oscuridad y plagado por fuerzas malignas. Encarnas a un caballero que debe dar caza a cuatro demonios que han sumido al lugar en una pestilencia sobrenatural. Cada demonio no puede ser derrotado con cualquier cosa: necesitas encontrar el objeto especial que lo hace vulnerable (como un martillo, una Biblia, un crucifijo o un reloj de arena) y usarlo en el enfrentamiento correcto.
Mientras tanto, por el mapa rondan enemigos menores como vampiros, esqueletos y monstruos varios, que te atacan y para los que puedes recolectar anticuerpos en casas, que lanzas para defenderte.

La clave en Nightshade es explorar el pueblo. No hay niveles secuenciales como en otros arcades, sino un gran mapa continuo que recorres buscando objetos, diablos y atajos. Entrar en casas y edificios hace que las paredes desaparezcan para poder ver y recoger cosas, un truco visual del motor Filmation II para sortear las limitaciones de color y memoria de las máquinas de entonces.

Eso le da al juego una mezcla peculiar de acción, exploración y ligero uso de estrategia: no solo golpeas enemigos, también planificas qué armas usar contra quién y cómo evitar que los bichos pequeños te acorralen.

Cuando salió, la prensa lo recibió bastante bien por su gráfica técnica avanzada y ambiente: los gráficos detallados y la capacidad de desplazamiento suave se destacaron frente a muchos títulos de 8 bits. Sin embargo, no faltaron voces críticas que señalaban que, tras la impresionante fachada visual, Nightshade podía sentirse repetitivo y un poco vacío en su diseño ya que te pasabas mucho tiempo buscando cosas sin un ritmo de juego tan fuerte como en otros títulos de acción pura.

Hoy muchos lo ven como un título interesante y representativo de su época: no el mejor juego de Ultimate, pero sí un experimento ambicioso con su propio encanto isométrico y estética de pueblo oscuro lleno de criaturas.

Nightshade es un peldaño notable en la evolución de los juegos isométricos en 8 bits. Su uso del motor Filmation II influyó en otros lanzamientos de Ultimate como Gunfright, que reutilizó esa tecnología poco después.
Además, demostró que incluso máquinas modestas como el Spectrum podían ofrecer mundos relativamente grandes e interactivos con ambición narrativa básica, algo que abrió la puerta a exploraciones más profundas de diseño dentro de ese género en sistemas domésticos.

Nightshade es un clásico de culto: un juego isométrico con bastante libertad, enemigos, objetos únicos para cada jefe y una atmósfera de pueblo maldito. Técnicamente llamativo para su tiempo, narrativamente modesto, pero con ideas que funcionaban bien en el contexto de los 8 bits.

I think I'm going to eventually invest in a nice mechanical keyboard for my CPC6128 - mine has had 40+ years of use and I think it's mechanically worn out so the action isn't fantastic.

Relaxing time now. I've been typing up a listing from one of my amstrad books, "Sixty Programs for the Amstrad CPC 464" - it's called Tanx and I find myself enjoying it quite a bit.

When I hear #Metrik's _Dawnbreaker_, it makes me feel like I'm nine years old and playing _OutRun_... even though _Dawnbreaker_ wouldn't be released for almost three decades.

When I start a new #Ruby project, it makes me feel like I'm eleven years old and writing Locomotive #BASIC on an #AmstradCPC... even though the first release of Ruby was still years away.

This and other quirks of how #nostalgia (and #music, and #computers) work in my brain... along with a #podcast episode of the same!... are now available on my blog:

This weekend the #Benediction Coding Party #5 is taking place and the #Condense-team finally released their conversion of #Sonicthehedgehog.

Ja, die Info steht auch im englischen Wikipedia-Artikel über #alansugar, aber so richtig Wirkung entfaltete sie bei mir erst in eurem Artikel:

"Alan Sugar wurde 1947 in East London geboren. Der Sohn eines Schneiders lernte schnell, wie man nebenbei zu Geld kommt."

Sohn eines Schneiders! Genau mein Humor.
