Exactly. This is a free game-jam game and was an enormous amount of work already. I bought assets from artists where possible (all credited), donated to free assets where it wasn't necessary and made a lot of the "gameplay" art myself. Hiring someone was out of the question. And for stuff like the intro and characters obviously nothing pre-made existed.

On the other hand, I made all the music myself for the very first time and that felt more important to me on this project. Personally, I like the quality of the AI assets and they are in line with what I envisioned for this project, but I also understand the many problems people have with AI generated content (and because of that, GenAI usage is also correctly disclosed on this page - EDIT: at least the boxes are ticked in the setup of this page, not sure where they show up?!). Without the intro, my son and I wouldnt have had the experience of recording his voice for it - which I'll never forget - so I'd never want to miss that and I am glad that I decided to go this route.

When I continue working on the game for a full proper release the AI art will be replaced, I am already in touch with various artists :)

If you download ARES, the game should just work! Perhaps you have to set up your gamepad / controller so the buttons are correctly mapped. Thank you so much for your enthusiasm about my game :)

Thanks!

Thank you :)

Thank you so much! Yeah, a lot of time went into ship handling and the camera for that mode. I was a bit sad I couldn't add enemies to it to make really more use of it, but that will be next :)

I love the art sooooo much. Thanks for making this.

Really enjoyed this game!! Such a cool idea with the change of perspective, totally unexpected. Nice mechanics. :)

Hi itch.io!

I've just released my game Phazer 64, which - in spirit - was described as Commander Keen meets No Mans Sky, as it plays with the fantasy of being able to land on planets, leave them etc. Oh, and it's a brand new game for Nintendo 64! It's like a 30 minute experience if you play it for the first time. Would love to get some feedback.

You can play it for free, as it was made for the N64BrewJam #6. If you don't own an N64 and a flashcart, you can just play it in an emulator (Ares) or watch the playthrough video (but obviously I recommend playing it!)

I'll let the store page do the talking :)

Hallo fliegevogel :) I've used your asset pack for my brand new N64 game: https://coreproduction.itch.io/phazer64 - I've credited you in the game and on Github. Would love to get in touch about perhaps collaborating on new assets for expanding my game in the future :) Grüße aus München
