Been making a game with the resolution and color palette of the Amstrad CPC (1984 8-bit computer) in it's wide pixel Mode 0 and felt like posting some screens. Simple run n' gun with large levels with a bit of exploring much like Turrican. Yeah I think the angle of some of the gun in the loading screen image is a bit off and I'll fix that once I figure out how. The loading image will also have a background eventually. I started one but removed it for the demo. 16 colors in the shots (same 16 color palette all through the game, just used differently) plus 1 transparent seperating the screens. There is a demo available though it's a bit buggy currently. Was done for the Retro Remakes contest 'We Like It Retro' category and I had flu on the last few days of the deadlines and broke some bits. Will continue on the game in the new year.

Wonderful work. But don't you have a little too many unfinished retro game projects at once ? :)

This is perfect! I admire your art greatly.

Awesome, the character reminds me of Wolferine mixed with the hero from Full Throttle, Ben :)

not sure all of it reads particularly well but it's fantastic given the restrictions.

Photocopier (Level 8 Regional Boss) at 1/4/2009 11:59:03 AM

I instantly new this was your work :)

This looks really sweet, and the only problem i can see is that in the caves, the enemies blend in to the background. 5'd and fav'd

ROFL! I'll have to check that retina burning game out.

Damn, those CPC colours are hideously saturated, but somehow you manage to turn them to perfection.
Pity I can't get the demo to run, so I can't burn out my retinas with them.

gumol (Level 1 Depressed) at 1/1/2009 8:27:53 AM

DarkfalzX (Level 4 Mercenary) at 12/30/2008 12:54:09 PM

How about finding an old CPC coder and doing this on the actual hardware? Now THAT would be AWESOME!: )

joseph_ch (Level 3 Enforcer) at 12/30/2008 1:55:05 AM

awesome graphics, awesome game, tons of fun, but a bit hard, maybe so it seems like the demo never ends? fantastic work.

Antiboton (Level 6 Serial Killer) at 12/29/2008 4:33:09 PM

It looks awesome, overall the starting screens.

Stickman (Level 5 Detective) at 12/29/2008 11:54:35 AM

This is proffessional, love your choice of colours

Jim16 (Level 3 Private Eye) at 12/28/2008 3:51:38 PM

Another awesome one by you Carn, I've been looking at the development of all your game's and so far most or any of them are not finished (correct me if I'm wrong). But I look forward to your future releases none the less.

Looks awesome at x2.
Damn you, I fear I might reach your level of work in like 3-5 years :'(
Oh well, practice, practice, practice.

TomF (Level 1 Rookie) at 12/28/2008 3:37:21 PM

These are very awesome, I can't wait till you get any one of your superb looking games finished.

Dex (Level 11 Psychopath) at 12/28/2008 3:17:52 PM

Wow, very nice. I smell a monthly top...
