Any ETA on act 3?
It is really... right there :D A few last scenes and the end title credits. Illness and some other excuses have delayed things, but rest assured this last act is bigger and better than what has come before! (I think). Did you complete the first two acts already? I haven't heard much feedback from players here.
I've completed act 1, currently part way through act 2, just got the hubcap and trying to work out what to do next 😀
Also I have spotted a bug, near where I mentioned below where the lake is, if you move to the right into the biggest rock to the left of the lake you teleport to another place on the screen
Ah, thanks! Sounds like a stray sprite with some goto code in it... will go hunting.
the sense of setting you are able to get with minimal 1bit is really masterful. very impressive.
Thanks for the comment! I really appreciate it. 1-bit is a challenging and in ways freeing style to work in. I think it allows for an engagement of the player’s imagination in ways that doesn’t happen if all the visual details were otherwise clearly defined. Thanks for being that imagination.
Any movement on this at all? This looks super cool!!
Yes, steady work among other games at the same time :) At 80% completed with some play testing after that scheduled before launch.
Thanks for asking!
Released!
Hell ya just purchased!!
Thanks for the early days purchase! And let me know your experience of Act One...
Will do, I plan on diving into this over the weekend
Same!
Cheers! Curious to hear first responses :D
