New game project for Atari Lynx
Added 2019-11-02 11:35:27 +0000 UTCHi everyone!
I'm currently working on a new game for the Atari Lynx, that will be submitted to the Silly Venture 2019 at the end of the month.
I don't have much details to share about the game yet, except that it'll be a fun arcade game, and that it should involve a fishing mechanic :). I hope to be able to complete it before the end of the month. For my patrons, you can except access to a beta quite soon!
By-the-way, the results for the Atari Gamer Lynx Programming Competition are now official, and my game Growing Ties ranked #3! I'm very pleased with the result, and I'm happy that people enjoyed my first Atari Lynx game. So I'm planning to expand Growing Ties to a cartridge release in 2020 if possible.
I really enjoyed working for Atari Lynx, and that's why I decided to make another small game for it. It's a very powerful console, quite different from all the others. As usual with Atari machines, they are all very unique and interesting to program for, It's a shame that the console didn't receive more success back in the 90's, because it had a real potential, and some very cool games too (Battlewheels, Rampart, Xenophobe, Gates of Zendocon, etc.). Hopefully, the homebrew community is quite strong for the console, even 30 years after it's release!
