An ANSI screen for a fake DOS game, very inspired by id Software's Commander Keen 4. It lists the player's detected hardware, like video and sound cards, and displays the available memory. A yellow prompt at the bottom tells the player to press a key.

Staying up late at night compelled me to make an ANSI screen for a fake DOS game.

I've played Loco Motive as well. Amazing pixel art in this one. I still need to finish it, though :)

Great, I'm looking forward to your game. PowerQuest looks to be quite a robust framework.

Nice! I've heard of PowerQuest because I recently played the Drifter demo. I'm probably going with Godot, because I've already made a prototype in that engine.

#Gaurodan is out!

The 2013 game has been completely redone to fit my current vision of traditional arcade game design. It's denser (more levels but less overall length), with better pacing, mechanics and a proper scoring system.

I enjoyed the elevator puzzle in this one, especially because drawing a map made it easier.

Finally done with this! I really liked the results.

Picture minecraft, but it's an old computer RPG.

I love this! Takes me right back to Ultima Underworld, where even small details in the UI had some game-related function.

Entering the village of Yallow. It's surrounded by trees, so added trees throughout the village. As usual, there's a signpost near the village entrance.

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: so how am I doing? Well, I have a 1Mb cart to play with and currently using 247k after getting the initial island working. Still a long way to go, but I feel I'm making good progress. Added a new village yesterday, and I'm happy with the way it's looking.๐Ÿ˜Š
