Anything still happening with this project?  I've been dreaming of making something similar.  A spoof of indy called California James.  Looks really good so far, although there's not much to see

Hello and thank you for your interest!

Unfortunately, i'm not able to work on this project anymore. Hope this short demo can inspire and motivate you to achieve your dream :)

This is cool but it’s too short! The music is my favorite part

Thx! I'm not the composer, they are taken from the GB-Studio-Community-Assets ;)

I played through the game and talked about aspects I liked on my YouTube channel if you are interested.


I mainly liked how the story telling/notes linked to the level progression. I'd love to see this developed into a full game one day, loved it!

Wow amazing! Thank you :D

No problem! It was fun!

This is very cool! Thanks, hope you make more games soon

Thank you ! I hope too :D

Are you planing on finishing this game? I noticed its still in demo mode...?

I don't think so... Unfortunately I no longer have the time to devote myself to it :(

But I may resume one day! :)

nice, thanks!

Thank you!

Thx!

great work! It's really fun to see developers work with the hardware limitations of the gameboy and find interesting game design mechanics because of them. ( I love listening to the 8 bit music too) I do think though that it doesn't really make sense in this game defeat enemies by jumping on them. I would instead like an attack for that purpose.

Thank you! It's a good point. I will think about it :)

not bad - graphics great , jump a bit high and hard to control though , but a good start

Thx ! I'm waiting for the next update of GB Studio to finally be able to change the gameplay :D
