Knights of Bytes 70 Member · Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 (edited) Hi there, video gamers! I'm Chester from the Knights of Bytes, and we would like to present you some teaser pictures and videos of Sam's Journey, our very first game for the NES. It's about a cute little hero called Sam who finds himself on an unexpected journey in a strange world. Sam's Journey (NES) · Title Picture Sam may look cute, but he is fast and swift! And with the proper suit, he can change his appearance completely and be a fierce pirate with a mighty cutlass! You can see this in our first teaser video! Just click to play: Sam's Journey (NES) · Sneak Peek #1 · "Here We Go, Sam!" You've already seen Sam become a pirate with a mighty cutlass, but in the hot desert with its ancient temple ruins, a special climbing ability comes in much more handy. Enjoy our second teaser, featuring Ninja Sam and an Egyptian-style soundtrack! Just click to play: Sam's Journey (NES) · Sneak Peek #2 · "Sam's Desert Dream" We're going to post more updates as the development progresses. So if you're curious to see more of Sam, stay tuned!

m308gunner 352 Member · Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Getting a SMB3/Kirby vibe from this. Quite impressive in the graphics/sound categories. Will it be Kickstarted? Are you planning on physical release? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights of Bytes 70 Member · Posted February 6, 2020 Author Share Posted February 6, 2020 We're indeed planning on Kickstarting it when we've reached a certain state of progress. We're heading for a physical release, with a cartridge in a box and a printed manual as the "minimum" or "basic" edition. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner 2,455 Member · Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 Looks fun, and since my oldest son's name is Sam, I tend to gravitate towards anything with his name in it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a show Atypical with an autistic kid named Sam and his parents made him a board game titled "Sam Takes A Walk" where he encounters unfamiliar situations and has to learn to deal with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if he's also a bit into retro gaming, then it's win for everyone! 2 hours ago, SuperJimtendo said: Looking great. Digging the kid chameleon aspect Sam has a few more costums in his wardrobe. 1 hour ago, Code Monkey said: There's a show Atypical with an autistic kid named Sam and his parents made him a board game titled "Sam Takes A Walk" where he encounters unfamiliar situations and has to learn to deal with them. Interesting, thanks for mentioning. Our Sam will encounter quite some situations aswell, but other than that, they are not related! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And now, with Sam coming to the NES, we're kind of closing the circle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To give the fans of platform games on the NES a good time is what we primarily aim for. 12 hours ago, elprincipe said: Looks very slick! I hope there will be a non-Kickstarter way to get a copy. Our yet-to-be-announced publisher just confirmed that there will options to obtain the game after the Kickstarter. The Kickstarter, however, will help us to get the production costs covered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
