Hmmm, I have plenty of mockups in 84x48 3 colors and others at 64x32. I also have their designs too.
Mostly classic games or some not as classics.

Deadline on april 17th, so about 14 days from now.

It would not be too hard for me to work the gfx, sound and possibly music I guess. Maybe even the code.
Biggest problem is that life in Brazil is a heck these days and I can´t be sure of about anything schedule wise.
I have stuff to do during these 2 weeks but I´m hard thinking here if I can spare the time and spend a few days without sleeping :p

Maybe it could work out?
Hey Ian, are up to team along just in case it is possible to figure time to do so?

If you've got an idea and the graphics, then why not :)

It'll be good to get back into code again.

Ian, I will shoot a new thread later today with some of the mocks, maybe from there we can pick one that we think would be nice to work on.

Flappy Birds controls, but shooting thing Down instead of pipes as well.... Could been fun with two Button Control. One to flap, one to gun.

If im should try do something Music for a retro game, its will been in c64 or Amiga style (not spectrum).

Yep, you could do music SpaceFractal, now that is a team! :good:
Will do the post quite soon but I´m not sure some of them are feasible, at least I think the moon patrol styled game could work great, and hey, doesn´t that have awesome music to boot?  ;)

Well, you you think about it, Moonpatrol is kind of a angry bird that shoots in its essence. :booze:

Moon Patrol was recently done by that guy that wanted to compare languages. Would it perhaps be better to choose another simple game? I'm not against Moon Patrol, but we'd have to make it different to that recent version.

It is different enough.
Will do the post today.

Also, the jam is packing up into a lot of entries so we will need to play hard to get attention.

Hello chaps, just shot a thread at the bonus, I didn´t know where else to fit it, so feel free to move it about should you think better.
Let´s rule this comp!  :good:
Many pieces there already, some quite nice!

I think i build some sort of dungeon crawler which will heavily abuse my 2d light engine. I think of a Top down shooter set in a dark mace with the player using a Flash light with limmited view radius if anyone wants to help with music sfx it would be greatly appreciated
