H4plo Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 (edited) Hi all, I'm please to announce that the Atari 8-bit port of my game Tenebra is ready! Get it from https://h4plo.itch.io/tenebra It has been quite successful on other platforms and has won multiple awards. I hope you will enjoy playing version too. Tenebra is an atmospheric ad minimalist puzzle game with rogue-like aesthetics. Guide the hapless protagonist to the exit. Poor guy is afraid of darkness and refuses to walk in the dark areas. Move torches around, push lights on rails, find keys to doors, light up cold braziers, pass through archways that collapse behind you, find oil barrels to make your torches brighter, squeeze through cracks in broken walls, fix broken rails with a hammer, illuminate the sensors to open the exits... do whatever it takes to get out of there! The game contains 31 levels and works on both PAL and NTSC machines. This port was a lot of fun, I ended up learning quite a lot about the Atari 8-bit machines. I hope you will enjoy it!

+Philsan Posted September 11, 2023 Share Posted September 11, 2023 @H4plo if I am not wrong, in the second screen (and perhaps others, I don't remember exactly) there should be written "fire to pick them up", "press fire again to drop", space doesn't work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for spotting this! It was a copy/paste mistake. I have uploaded a new binary. 5 hours ago, DarkLord said: Awesome work! Any chance that we might see an Atari ST version? Thanks... Sure, if there is enough interest I'll port it to Atari ST as well. By the way, I already have one ST game: https://h4plo.itch.io/toop And thanks everyone for your comments! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. 8 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darwinmac Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Awesome game! I’ve only started with it (on level 4), but it’s a good puzzle game. Thanks for porting it to the Atari 8-bit. I do play ST games so a port to that would be welcome as well. Bob C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. It was cool to see people playing my game in real time. By the way, "Johnson's Cave" was a homage to Cave Johnson of Portal 2, which was a source of inspiration for Tenebra (and even more on Tenebra 2, which gives you a portal gun!). Finsternis was the original name of the game, but when I realised I couldn't fit it nicely on the title screen I switched from German to Latin and changed it to Tenebra. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
