The perspective of the hero is certainly something to experiment with. My intuition is that the top view of the character will be uninteresting (you'll see helment and shoulders mostly) and possibly hard to read visually. That being said, once we have a 3D model it'll be easy enough to try different perspectives. I like current perspective though and it's consistent with 8-bit version.

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thank you! Doing my best ;)

Mixing 8/16 bit games creativity and vibe with modern hardware capabilities is something I constantly think about in regards to future projects. The old games were involving our imagination much more and I miss that.

Very much agreed! Actually, one more point I could have added is how pure the experience of building an 8-bit game is. It's very much forgotten or maybe even never experienced by developers these days.

Thanks! You are certainly better retrocode than me haha, I can't code in 6502 assembly anymore - it's all Saint's (Krzysztof Święcicki) work.

Thanks! If we get to make another game it'll have more modern mechanics for sure :).

Oh wow! Now that is a unique project and story! I wish I could work full time on my game :)

Thank you!

Muito obrigado!

Our priority is to complete the full version of the game first. We probably won't spend much time on PC or web build until the full game is almost there. We sadly have a very limited time so we have to be careful not to try doing too much... I'll be sure to let you know once we do have something for the web build though.

Haha, yes. Unfortunate writing... What I meant here is that it's more of an automated system, doesn't require human input or operation. People don't have to think where the resources are coming from, how to process them, etc. I'll think of a better way to write it, thanks for pointing that out :).

Thanks for kind words! We haven't planned for Linux version but we are working on an executable download wrapped around Atari800 emulator for Windows and Mac so perhaps Linux could be included (although we don't have any Linux machines to test).

Happy to hear that!

Thank you for kind words and the invitation to your platform! We do not have a web build now but it's possible we will have at some point as we do have PC prototype in Unity. It requires more work to get it finished though.

It won't be soon sadly. We will be lucky if we can make it this year but I have a feeling it'll take longer. It's an evening/weekend project for the entire team. We're making progress every week though!

Any reason why you use this particular version? We tested with Altirra and Atari 800 v5.2.0 and they both work. Can you try downloading CosmicHero2PrologueWin.zip and following instructions in CosmicHero2PrologueWinInstall.pdf to try a preconfigured Altirra?

It is a puzzle game but we do want it to feel like an adventure a bit. Full version of the game will most likely have a bit more emphasize on an arcade-like flow. We are still exploring what will give the most fun gameplay with the mechanics that we have. Thanks for comment!
