Project Hornwhale

[UltraNarwhal]

So if you've read my introduction you may have seen some games I've been worked/working on, just thought I'd post some footage from my latest PC build of 'Project Hornwhale' for those curious.

YouTube video of game in motion


It's also NESmaker related as I'm looking to do a prequel on the NES (obviously simplified), but will put that in WIP once I start on it (along with Blimpgeddon 2).

I have zero idea what is going on in this picture, but it did the job. I really want to play with game now. Are you the capsule monster? Is it spewing out diamonds or collecting them? Or maybe you're the hair raising static ball? Why is there a fetus in a broken container? What is that computer that wants 100 of something?

So many questions that makes me want to know more in a world that reminds me of a side scrolling shmup and the starbound space station at the same time. This is going on my list of games to play this weekend.

Whoops. Knew I shouldn't have put the YouTube link so close to picture (hard to see), video link clearer now (should answer some questions). Also game isn't out yet, I'm attempting to finish/release it before end of year.

Game looks amazingly fun. Love the style and the gameplay. Could have easily seen this in arcades in the 90's.

Thanks.
That was what I was aiming for (late 80s/early 90s arcade feel), it's inspired by Mr.Heli & Atomic Robokid (but with my own spin on it and more forgiving).

I captured some better video from latest build, should finally finish game by Q2 2019.
Maybe at some point I'll make a NESmaker prequel.
