  1. The project had to be put on hold due to unexpected personal events, but now we're back with the project revived. Confimed!
  2. Hi there, video gamers! It's been a while since our last update on Sam, but that doesn't mean we've been idle! The game took a huge step towards its release and we are very happy to present you another video! Some fiery creatures await Disco Sam in the sky, but thanks to his signature twist, he can delay his fall gently and stomp them precisely! Just click to play: Sam's Journey (NES) · Sneak Peek #5 · "A Twist In The Sky" For those new to the party: Sam will be starring in Sam's Journey, a scrolling platform game for the NES with huge levels to be explored, hidden items to be found and secret passages to be discovered. Stay tuned!
  3. Hi there, video gamers! This time, we'll see Space Sam in a boss encounter - and it seems he really has a Green Problem here... Space Sam facing a boss that's spitting dangerous stuff at him Stay tuned for more! Chester Knights of Bytes Facebook · Twitter · YouTube
  4. Hi there, video gamers! There are still tough times out there, and we hope you're all still healthy. We're still making progress with Sam's Journey, our upcoming platform game for the NES. This time we're presenting you the map that will guide Sam on his Journey through the mystical world. Sam in the Deep Woods, the second level of the Lowlands There's more to come, stay tuned!

  5. 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! Just click to play: Sam's Journey (C64/NES) · "Two Chips - One Song!" · C64's SID and NES' APU playing a tune together Stay tuned for further updates!

  6. 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. We cannot either - yet!
  7. Glad you like it! The complete soundtrack will consist of 19 in-games tunes with a total playing time of about 36 minutes.
  8. We're getting the hang of it. Thank you, very much appreciated!
  9. Hi there, video gamers! It's been some time, but now we're back with another update on Sam's Journey for the NES! Even down in an eerie cave with its dark abyss, the thrust of a jetpack may come in handy. Enjoy our fourth teaser and watch Space Sam using his new power suit to defy gravity and catapult himself to new heights! Just click to play: Space Sam showing off his new power suit in an eerie underground cave Stay tuned for further updates! Chester Knights of Bytes Facebook · Twitter · YouTube
  10. Like a special Knights of Bytes certificate or a dinner with the developers? Thumbs up for using real hardware and keeping the spirit alive!
  11. Making progress with Sam's Journey on the NES: Just finished the interior ship levels! Pirate Sam under deck, facing some undead creatures We wish you all a Happy Easter with a lot of retrogaming! Chester
  12. Thanks! 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. Deal! We're certainly going to make a post here, when the time has come.
  13. 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! Chester Knights of Bytes Facebook · Twitter · YouTube
  14. You haven't seen all of Sam yet. Stay tuned for updates! Glad you liked it! 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!
  15. Hi there, video gamers! Waiting for an update on Sam's Journey for the NES? Here we go! Although being a great runner and an amazing jumper, Sam is not at all averse to alternative methods of transportation. The third teaser of our upcoming NES title features Sam in a fiery castle. Watch him climb a web, use moving platforms, and have himself shot across long distances by cannons! Just click to play: Sam's Journey (NES) · Sneak Peek #3 · "Sam's Castle Ride" If you're curious to see more of Sam, just stay tuned! Further updates will be posted as the development progresses.

  16. To give the fans of platform games on the NES a good time is what we primarily aim for. 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.
  17. Yes, we initially created Sam's Journey for the C64 to bring some NES vibes to that system. And now, with Sam coming to the NES, we're kind of closing the circle!
  18. Well, if he's also a bit into retro gaming, then it's win for everyone! Sam has a few more costums in his wardrobe. Interesting, thanks for mentioning. Our Sam will encounter quite some situations aswell, but other than that, they are not related!
  19. Spotted it, thanks! We're going to post some more stuff very soon.
  20. 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.
  21. 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!
