Hello fine folks,
I am thrilled to announce that we will be launching a physical cartridge release of Island Fever, via a presale campaign with Homebrew-Factory. If the campaign reaches its goal of 27 preorders, then Production will proceed. (If we don't meet the goal, no one is charged)Any support in reaching this goal would be a dream come true and I will keep you posted as we near campaign launch. Massive thank you to everyone who has downloaded and purchased my game!
Game On!!

Hello Folks,
I would like to introduce myself along with my new game,Island Fever for the GBC platform.
My name is Caleb Arthur and I wrote the story for the game Island Fever. For the last 6 months, myself and developer Robert Doman have been hard at work in bringing our ideas to life in an Adventure style Gameboy Color Game. Island Fever is a military themed adventure game loosely based on my time spent in the US Navy living on the tropical island of Diego Garcia.
I wanted to recreate the layout of the Island exactly as I remembered it all the way back in the early 2000's, and Robert did a great job of that. The Island of Diego Garcia still operates as a strategic military base with a bit of a controversial past. This is where I had the idea to lightly brush on, and let the player explore and research for themselves. As the island is off limits to civilians, I wanted everyone to be able to travel there (in 8-bit glory of course) or at least know of its existence. I am proud to present to you Island Fever, I hope it brings you hours of fun and nostalgia.
