Untitled Space Game

Inspired by a friend of mine, I’m embarking on a side project. The plan is to make a simple Game Boy game very much in the Space Quest yet System Shock area. The tools I’ve got to work with are a 10 year old MacBook Pro, my 4 year old iPad Pro 12.9”, a little bit of software specifically for creating Adventure Games, and a couple of pixel art editors. It’s been in a state of gestation in my brain for years, but if I don’t just get off my backside and start it now, it’ll never happen. I’ve even started actually spending a little bit of cash on some software to give myself a bit of impetus to do this thing.

Current outlay:

Subtle Notebook - £25 (or thereabouts including shipping)

Aseprite - £15.49

Pixaki - £10

GBStudio - Free (donationware)

Tiled - Free (also donationware)

Yeah, it’s pretty boring right now, but it works!
