iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Hehe, inspiration is the greatest form of flattery right? 😁

Thank you! Early development so no release date yet.

Thank you. ☺️ I can see a bit of Rick Dangerous in it now that you mention it. I wasn’t inspired by it consciously but it was probably in my subconscious somewhere!

I think that risk tension can exist with saving if the opportunity to save is spaced. E.g. saving only possible every 5 levels. But early days yet so anything could happen yet.

Update: not really a rogue-like because the plan is to save character progression, but it will be all procedurally generated dungeons/caves. Collect the crystal ore for crafting weapons, spells etc between levels. Find the enemy with the key to unlock the exit. #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #pixelart

Thanks John! Early days yet but if something comes of it, let’s chat. 🙂

Banking is an interesting idea! I had thought about having limited oxygen under ground and need to return before running out, kinda similar to banking.

That was kind of an inspiration yes! Spelunky but more exploratory.

Thanks! The tempo is because of the max speed of the scrolling code. So it can be a bit exploratory.

Here's what I am working on but I'm not sure where to take it next. I am keen to hear ideas. I would like to make it rogue-ish (no saving, start from zero every game), and use procedurally generated levels. But aside from that I am open to thoughts. #c64 #commodore64 #8bit #pixelart

I’m waiting for my print copy to wing its way to Australia, but if you don’t already subscribe to FREEZE64 then I highly recommend checking out this free issue PDF.

Thanks! I strained my eyes a bit getting all the detail on the tentacles. 😑

Thanks Metin! One of my goals with my C64 games is to make something my young self would have really enjoyed. So your comment means a lot. ☺️
