Its just the game looks fucking fantastic. One of the few new amiga games ive seen that looks 100% professional. You have great skills as an pixel artist. This is just the type of game i want to see on amiga. Awesome bitmap brother euro graphics PlAYABLE on a a500 from diskette. No bullshit aga/accellerated/cdrom crap.

And like galahad said. When it gets close to finished. You should hook up with psytronik or something. I would pay 30 euro for this thing if it came with cool box with nice art.

I will buy it, no compromises.

Thankyou for the supportive comments! I am pouring all of my skills into this game, every pixel is placed in DPaint and none have been generated or converted down to Amiga. It will run on a 1MB Amiga 500 and already I am incredibly proud of it, Magnus is amazing to work with.

You have gotten me thinking about psytronik but I really wanted to handle packaging and distribution myself. I am looking at all options, of course...I will need to speak to Magnus about this.

I love their style and it lends itself to a pixelated representation of something similar.
Magnus came up with the boss design, (2-headed snake that fired out fireballs from random segments of its body) and asked me to design a suitable boss for it, I won't lie, this one was tough to make nice. I am super proud of how it came out!

Even Stoo Cambridge liked it (on F.B).

This game is just looking better and better! I'm really looking forward to it, excellent work so far

spacey · 21 July 2017, 03:53

very cool!

Predseda · 21 July 2017, 07:48

That is a super nasty boss, I really like him!!!

CaptainNow · 09 August 2017, 20:41

Ok folks, I am not allowed to say very much about this but I can tell you there is some very very exciting news coming regarding this game very very soon.
I wish I could tell you more, I really do. All I can say is Magnus has been working so so hard lately and I got to see the fruits of his labour recently and my jaw was on the floor.
I expect there will be a teaser video released as soon as we can, (probably in a few weeks) and after that there will be a steady stream of development videos.

I know there are some who are worried this game will never materialise, but trust me, it is coming and work continues.

Thankyou for being so patient!

Woah so looking forward to this game, wondering what news that are coming

!!

Gzegzolka · 10 August 2017, 06:30

Show me, show me, show me

I will wait for that video, I will try to be calm, but it's very hard

Hello all!

Firstly, I am sorry the game is taking so long to develop, when you get to play it you will see why. There are only 2 of us making it and so we really appreciate your patience!

Ok, some good news! As you may or may not have known, the original engine didn't support in-game music and we had decided to make a sound effect soundscape instead...well, there have been some developments on that front and without revealing too much (we want to save it for a trailer) we have music by Triace and Vedder (both of Insane demogroup).
All of this under-the-hood work has allowed me to take the opportunity to go back to some of the in-game graphics and improve them a lot.

I have attached a before/after image to show you what I mean. This is the new Shopkeeper on the right...everything is a lot smoother and generally nicer and this is down the fact that I got to tweak the palette just a tiny bit.

Again, thankyou all for your patience regarding this game. It will be completely FREE when released, our little gift to the community. There will be a boxed version for those wanting such a thing and will likely take the form of a CD with an .adf file on there and various other goodies (videos, art files and maybe even a making-of video).
There will be a trailer to come in the not-too distant future so I will make a noise about that when it is created.
The game is still very much alive and now looking/sounding/playing/running better than ever.

kriz · 12 November 2017, 14:17

AHh great news !!

Gzegzolka · 12 November 2017, 15:30

Nice to see some progress

Predseda · 12 November 2017, 16:21

whooly fuck. Looking fucking great.

You should start a kickstarter. Get a little attention, some money.

This game has mass appeal.
