Hi Guys

I used to be on this forum quite a lot, and I made the guides for the Weecade, Project Mame, Nanocade, TaitoRama and Verticade if you remember, you can find them on www.koenigs.dk

But the last year of so, I have been caught up making a game - an indie title called 8BitBoy.

Although the title suggest it's 8-Bit, it's actually more of mixture of pseudo 8/16 bit style and chiptunes. The main inspiration has been the c64 version of Giana Sisters, mixed with elements from Rainbow Island, New Zealand Story, Rick Dangerous, Wonderboy in Monsterland, Super Mario Bros 3 and many more. The game is filled with little references here and there. The main goal has been to keep it a straight classic scrolling platformer though, with intuitive controls and depth to the gameplay. The kind of game that is almost impossible to find on PC today. And that's why I have always dreamed of making such a game.

You can see video and screenshots on my Greenlight page:

A vote would also be appreciated, I would really appreciate that.

Thanks BYOAC - I'll be back on the forum when this game is out in December!!!

Looks very cool, voted. I had already heard some positive buzz about the game, trying to remember where...

Anyway, do you have a development blog or anything? As a wannabe-indie game maker I would love to hear more about it.

I like this!
If only My account at steam has the right "credentials".. Got to buy a game first, then i can vote. And I Will, in the morning..

Also, there must be a level editor and/or will you allow leveldesign from fellow byoac'ers?

Thanks

I know it's sort of a Mario/Giana Sisters style game - but that's really what I miss myself, and it's impossible to find anything like that on PC :)

There is a official homepage to it: www.awesomeblade.com/8bitboy/

But I really like the developer blog idea. I will make a blog on the official homepage.

I would love to have a level editor, but it's not coming anytime soon, because there is still too much work with everything else.

But I like the idea and I will look into that in a few weeks. Thanks.
