I've been trying to port a tile based game from the Archimedes to a custom z80 + tms9929 board i made, the original had full 50hz smooth scrolling, it did this by having many tiles for each object in an animation to smoothly scroll from one position to the next however i found that there's no way it would fit into the 256 char positions i had by about 5x, if i removed the player (and just load that couple of chars each frame) and halved the number of frames (to 25Hz) it would fit, originally the code ran 10x too slowly, after a lot of optimization got it to run at about a third of the speed. The point is that is really hard to do stuff on these old systems even if it seems simple so what has been achieved here with this game is amazing!

Since the demand is higher than the indie production capabilities, maybe sell it as an auction? For instance you make 20 copies a day, those copies get 20 auctions on your site starting with your target price, and people buy them this way? And of course a few of these auctions can be surprise gifts, so whoever first bids on them, actually insta-wins them. This way people who want the game the most will be able to get it first.

I love your enthusiasm and hard work you put into your games before even announcing them. A rare sight to see nowadays in game development.

What you say about submitting your software for testing is so true. My experience is in productivity software but the same rules hold true. It is amazing how the author (and designer) of the software can use it all day long without any issues but when you give it to real users it just falls apart. It becomes quite an art in anticipating what stupid things the user/player will do with your software. That 6052 assembly really takes me back to my teenage years (I am 50 next month)

This game looks so cool! It would be as fun and addictive as the games nowadays, in my opinion.

Don't feel bad about people "well actually"ing you that the game is not isometric.

If it was another axonometric projection, like the 116.6-116.6-126.9 dimetric projection used in a most tile-based "isometric" games, I'd agree with you, most forms of Axonometric projections *are* just called isometric by gamers, but oblique projections are a completely different category of projection, and I don't think most gamers who play a lot of "isometric" games would consider this just another example of the category--Earthbound is another oblique projection top-down game and I don't think I've ever heard someone mistake it for isometric; in fact most reviews of the series I've seen specifically point out its use of a "weird" projection instead of an isometric one part of the quirky charm OF the series. Anything more specific than "oblique" is clearly asking too much, and I don't BLAME the 8-bit guy for not knowing the right term and just calling it isometric, nobody knows everything, but I do think the correction was reasonable too.

Well i’m sure some companies still prioritize graphics over other things, but it seems a lot of games try to do both graphics and gameplay well. Doom 2016, Black Mesa, and Final Fantasy VII Remake are good examples of games where effort was clearly placed into the graphics, as well as the gameplay

Here's a tip: Back in the day, since most VIC-20 games were on cartridge, and since many people might not want to use a proper disk drive while also having to get a 35k RAM expander, maybe a cartridge version could actually be a viable option. Of course, having an FPGA in every cartridge to simulate a ROM banking chip is expensive, so you could instead make a limited edition cartridge. Or, you could even make a tape version (still with the 35k expansion for the VIC-20), but of course that would require some sort of turbotape software as well as making you have to do the following all the time: _Please skip to count 53 and press play_ 19:12 You made a smart decision to use aftermarket controllers.

Awesome work. I have always loved working within limitations when modding/game designing, it really forces you to think about every element and how best to implement it. You gave a great example with the chair graphic, modular tiles that can be reused in multiple configurations to form different graphics vs unique graphics that just eat up character space/RAM. It is a real challenge to think this way but also very rewarding once you get it right. Nothing I have done is anywhere near this level of modularity/restriction but I am well familiar with creating pixel drawn textures that tile to form different objects, faces, landscape etc with little more than a color switch. Just looking at this game makes my mind run wild thinking about all the different ways you could reuse characters and tiles to do more than is obvious. Love the series on this game, the VIC20 was a staple in my home as a kid so seeing this level of game design on something so restrictive is just brilliant!

You really are inspiring, great work!!! I coded for C64 as a kid, 25 years ago but now - forgotten art (mostly). Nice to see the machine is still in use and hell, yours looks like a brand new toy...

I feel like it comes and goes in a cycle, with new technology bringing dips in game quality as developers race to create the best looking game. Very few 5th generation console games still hold up gameplay wise to this day, since most developers cared more about making an impressive game than making a fun game. But the 6th generation is home to plenty of games that still hold up to this day, after the novelty of being in 3D outstayed its welcome. Even today, the majority games made specifically to run on RTX compatible graphics cards are merely glorified tech demos. So I would agree with the sentent that we are in a rut right now, but I'm sure games will get better again eventually

I was hoping you'd have a Christmas video by now like when you celebrate April Fools' Day. But still, thank you for this, and happy Christmas!

I've enjoyed watching the progress of this on Facebook and can't wait to play it. You may end up being the reason I buy myself a Commodore machine!

I really enjoyed hearing from the composer. The music style was like a spot-on hybrid of amiga MODs and C64 SIDs, and even had filter effects. To top it all off, it was only two channels 😮😮. Even back in the day that was very impressive.
