Knight guy in low res world was originally my first attempt to program a platformer for the 2600 (and my second attempt to program a game after the primitive Drakko) back when I started to learn batari back in 2018. Now after I remade the "engine" I decided to re write it from scratch, but now with some humble metroidvania touch. I have completed the first public beta and I am sharing it here. Testing and feedback will be appreciated knightguy_CastleDays_20200524.bin NEW BETA 2020-05-31 Third boss added. New Item (bubble). Also I THINK I catch and all those pesky overcycles. knightguy_CastleDays_20200531.bin Also I have some merchandising available in my teepublic store in case you are interested in support this development https://www.teepublic.com/t-shirt/3277219-knight-guy-in-low-res-world?store_id=35943 Also here is the link to the original Knight Guy thread: Edited March 7, 2021 by vhzc 21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+sramirez2008 Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Watched the gameplay on today’s ZPH livestream and it’s looking good? Thanks for the ROM. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Karl G Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 It's looking great so far! I enjoyed seeing it on the show. ? One nitpicky request - I love the looks of the springy-thingees, but I think they should extend a little bit more when you jump on them. Apart from that, the visuals are amazing, as always! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AW127 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Game looks good and plays good. I saw on my PAL-console, that some colors are correct even in PAL, but some not, for example the most enemies have wrong color. Can you release a PAL60 version of your game please?

slacker Posted May 28, 2020 Share Posted May 28, 2020 Really enjoyed the beta. It looks and controls great. I liked how you build upon your current inventory to open up new spots. The boss battles were also fun and a nice change of pace from the platforming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+ZeroPage Homebrew Posted June 1, 2020 Share Posted June 1, 2020 Really awesome vhzc!! Love the two new bosses. The first new one took a bit to get the pattern. The second one was super fun to fight but was a lot easier. As per usual, the new levels were tons of fun! The new Greensleeves music is a nice touch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool, thanks for testing. I was doing a gosub call to a check lives routine when I shouldn't and since it is a bankswitching rom the gosub cost several cycles and that was causing some problems, but I think all is ok now.
