dale_coop | 162 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 (edited) This game is the first NES demo I made, while I was discovering the joys of the ASM language, thanks to NESmaker. I like sci-fi and adventure, exploration or narrative games... and also arcade games. I grew up in the 80s, with my parents' Atari2600, then with the NES which was MY first console. Not having found a name for this game, I simply called it "PressStart Game". The synopisis is simple, you are a space explorer and are captured by aliens on your way home. You wake up in an unknown place... and have to find a way to escape. It was my first demo. I would like to continue the adventure one day....

8-bit guerilla | 82 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Nice! Are the squares placeholders for sprites? Like did you intend to develop the characters further? the mechanics look smooth! Looking forward to checking it out later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale_coop | 162 Posted November 19, 2019 Author Share Posted November 19, 2019 Thank you, 8-bit guerilla. The squares, were placeholders at the begining... but more I was working with them, more I liked the minimalistic style of them. So, I guess, if/when I will continue that project, I'll keep them kinda square shaped (maybe try to add some details). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type | 2,477 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 cool. The hero in Adventure on 2600 is just a square too. sometimes that's all you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raftronaut | 100 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 I've never put this together before, but Your title screen reminds me like a painting my friend did 1-2 years ago. Let me see if I can find a screen shot, you may find it interesting..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raftronaut | 100 Posted November 19, 2019 Share Posted November 19, 2019 Ah yes, here it is.... This painting was done by an Artist friend of mine, L.Chappelle. He did it with puffy paint on canvas, the texture is 3 dimensional. Pretty close! ha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dale_coop | 162 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Oh wow! Raft.... It's very similar. But of course, I grow up in the middle of all that imagery, of the 80'sand begining of the 90's... used to have those kind of posters in my room when I was adolescent Best memories.
