namco Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 No, this is not a joke. I've been developing this on and off for the past 8 years and I finally released it last month. I decided to do it because I was doing a remakes competition and I wanted to do something other than the obvious. Unfortunately I never finished it in time for the competition but I carried on with the game anyway. There is still some work to add in (like more sound fx, and music etc) which will be added as I'm in post-release bug fixing mode and those bugs that I intend to fix are listed on the website and in the readme file. I've already updated the game to version 1.1 a few days ago. For the most part the main aim of the game has not been changed, as there was nothing wrong with it, but you will see that there are no visible holes. They are there you just need to find them, with the help of the indicator at the bottom left of the screen. If it shows fauna, then no hole. Otherwise there'll be a hole with a question mark (not visited) or a hole with a cross (visited). Download 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tangentg Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 I'll check this out when I get time to. I feel the retro remakes circle is being too overshadowed. There's a Tunnel Remake remake I found recently, and I'm surprised it hasn't been already remade tons of times. I've also made a lot of Atari 2600-styled games (some are aimed to be highly authentic), but all everyone cares about are actual games that run on the hardware.
