Hello! I've made significant progress the past few months on my game. Hoping to stir up some interest before the Demo release later this year. Thank you to all who have followed me on Discord from the beginning and have shared helpful advice. Let me know what you think! I will be happy to answer any questions.

For those who know nothing about this project, its a love letter to 80's post apocalyptic media and games. I've tried to also stay faithful to the retro aesthetic as much as possible.

The game runs in a terminal window and uses 1-bit mono TTF characters as sprites. This means ultra low requirements and a unique aesthetic that is distinctly retro. I've been working on this almost 3 years so I am excited to show it off.

Yes! I started making simple Terminal games with Ascii, but then I kept pushing the limit farther and farther... Until well here I am! :D

Nice! :D
I think you could mention PureBasic at least in the info details of the game. :wink:

I did in the tools section but then I also submitted an entry for PureBasic on Itch.io. Doesn't look like it updated yet?

I'll be sure to fix that asap! I LOVE PB!

Holy crap!! I cannot believe what can be achieved with a terminal and characters but I should as I am from that era (heheheh).

Congratulations to a mind such as yours that can imagine this stuff.
