Been making a game with the resolution and color palette of the Amstrad CPC (1984 8-bit computer) in it's wide pixel Mode 0 and felt like posting some screens. Simple run n' gun with large levels with a bit of exploring much like Turrican.
Yeah I think the angle of some of the gun in the loading screen image is a bit off and I'll fix that once I figure out how. The loading image will also have a background eventually. I started one but removed it for the demo.
16 colors in the shots (same 16 color palette all through the game, just used differently) plus 1 transparent seperating the screens.
There is a demo available though it's a bit buggy currently. Was done for the Retro Remakes contest 'We Like It Retro' category and I had flu on the last few days of the deadlines and broke some bits. Will continue on the game in the new year.
Damn, those CPC colours are hideously saturated, but somehow you manage to turn them to perfection. Pity I can't get the demo to run, so I can't burn out my retinas with them.
Another awesome one by you Carn, I've been looking at the development of all your game's and so far most or any of them are not finished (correct me if I'm wrong). But I look forward to your future releases none the less.
Looks awesome at x2.
Damn you, I fear I might reach your level of work in like 3-5 years :'(
Oh well, practice, practice, practice.
