Former CD-i Game Developer
Hi everyone! I just discovered this forum. I used to program games for one of the Philips studios, "POV", for several years. I have a collection of materials from that time, which you can peruse at http://berro.org/cdi/.
Hi Mike!
Welcome here! It is an honour for us having you here!
We are helping in any ways people interested in developing CD-i titles. At this moment 2 titles are under development: Nobelia and Super Quartet. We have an ex CD-i developer from SPC Vision, @cdifan.
2 other more titles may see light of the day in the following months.
As a POV former developer, do you still have authoring tools and/or source code we could use for new project?
Thank you for sharing the links with us and feel free to participate on the forum.
No, sorry, I had to return all the authoring tools and source code to Philips, and it's been too long (26 years) for me to remember anything. Thanks for the welcome!
Thank you anyway,. You are more than welcomed.
I hope you can contribute to our website and forum with stories, and help our programmers!
Hello and welcome !
It's nice to see you around here.
Even if the CD-i wasn't designed to be a game machine, it has a community of fans after all these years.
I believe that CD-i failed because Philips didn't market it as a game machine. Just my opinion.
