News \ Bob's Game. A game made by one person.



If you're just a person who criticises games for their graphics (or lack of), sound (or lack of) etc, then bugger off and play your 3D games elsewhere. This is homebrew at its best!

The game entails a classic, pixelated, 2-D adventure that puts the focus on story, puzzles, item collection, and communication instead of repetitive battles with palette-swapped enemies.

It takes a lot of inspiration to do what he does. Most people who try this don't even make it past the planning process.

He quotes: The code is straight C, the music is tracked, and the art is all completely hand-clicked tiles and sprites- done the right way, pixel by pixel, like the classics we all know and love ....I've invested well over 15,000 hours into its development over 5 years of dedication- "
