You haven't seen all of Sam yet. Stay tuned for updates! 21 hours ago, Svambo said: I played this game on the C64 - it's for sure one of the best games ever on that machine! Glad you liked it! 21 hours ago, Svambo said: Had a lot of fun with this and can't wait to try it on NES. Due to the specific characteristics of the target systems, the C64 and the NES version will each have their own unique look and sound, which is absolutely fine. We will, however, attempt to provide the same level of playability and joy on both machines! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knights of Bytes | 75 Posted April 4, 2020 Author Share Posted April 4, 2020 (edited) Hi there, video gamers! We've been asked if there will be a PAL and an NTSC version of Sam's Journey on the NES. The answer is yes, and we're even going the extra mile and will provide equalized gameplay speeds on both systems! It seems to work well so far! Enjoy this little video study where we play the two versions simultaniously with one controller. Just click to play: PAL and NTSC version of Sam's Journey played simultaniously Stay tuned for further updates!

To be honest, it's a whole lot of work, but as players of both regions will benefit from this, we think it's worth the effort.

Svambo | 9 Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 This looks incredibly nice! Have you thought about adding achievements? Like 'Beaten the game with 100%', 'Beaten the game without dying', 'Beaten the game in unter xx minutes' ... Stuff like that? That's the only thing I missed in the C64 version. Can't wait to play this on my NES 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The visuals on both system are, of course, different. While the C64's colors are more flexible to use, the NES benefits from a higher resolution. The gameplay experience, however, should be the same. 12 hours ago, Svambo said: I cannot imagine how incredible Super Sam's Journey or Sam's Journey 64 will be We cannot either - yet!

Knights of Bytes | 75 Posted August 29, 2020 Author Share Posted August 29, 2020 (edited) Hi there, video gamers! What if two different 8-bit systems played the same song? Just for the fun of it, we took the Forest tune of Sam's Journey and put the C64's SID output on the left channel and the NES' APU output on the right. The unique characteristics of both chips complement each other really well. Enjoy our little symphony!

Knights of Bytes | 75 Posted August 25, 2022 Author Share Posted August 25, 2022 Hi there, video gamers! No screenshot or video this time, but something no less important! Creating a video game like Sam's Journey is very much about writing code, designing worlds, drawing graphics and composing tunes. All of those tasks result in a huge bunch of digital data. But digital data alone is not the end of the story. If we want our Sam to look cool on the store shelves, things must get physical! And one of the things we need is a cartridge board to store the game on. A Collection Of Circuit Boards For NES Cartridges There are quite some circuit boards available for NES game productions, all of them with their own benefits and flaws. We ordered a collection of those boards to evaluate which model suits best the requirements of our game. This is a very exciting step in the development of Sam's Journey on the NES as it also marks the game's transition from a project to a product. Stay tuned! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
