A turn based adventure about a spiritual discovery in a distant  mysterious world

Currently in development by Tulio Tercero AKA NerdyPunkDev

Spaceman Memories is a retro inspired JRPG that takes place in a distant future but takes inspiration from ancient Japanese folktales. Take on the role of Uchū hikō-shi, a JAXA astronaut that wakes up from hyper sleep and is completely unaware of who he is or what is happening around him. Given the circumstances he has no choice but to leave the safety of his base and go into the precariousness of a mysterious barren planet. He will quickly realize that even though he is very far from home, he begins to find traces that take him on a spirited but dangerous journey to connect with his own roots.

  • Turn based and story-driven game with homages to current and ancient Japanese culture.

  • Environment-based insightful puzzles to unravel the mystery of the Spaceman's forgotten memories.

  • Learn about ancestral Japanese spirits. Fight the evil ones and receive help from the benign ones to make your way in a trascendental search.

  • Exploration of an aesthetic pixel art world that takes you through an immersive nostalgic journey.

  • An original soundtrack blending exotic retro synths and sound effects to evoke a feeling of universal nostalgia.

An open journey to find oneself through solo indie game development

Currently the game is in the development phase and its process is being openly shared through cool video devlogs. Spaceman Memories is intended to be both a video game and a documentary project about the spiritual quest to share the highs and lows of solo game development being based on a third world country. The open development of the game will encapsule topics ranging from coding, art creation, music and sfx composing, spiritual struggles, mental health, productivity and digital content creation.

Today I've been working on a creature called Kappa. They are water creatures so these will appear by the riverside of the game. By the way, they are NOT friendly in Japanese folklore haha!

Working on boss battle music. I've been experimenting with lots of synths, I'm always looking for the ones that fit that nostalgic mood.

Working on the second part of the main theme for Spaceman Memories soundtrack which I will be using on the first trailer. Having lots of fun with all sorts of synths.

Still working on looks of this city, now it has color! Will be adding NPCs shortly. Working on this is a thing of trial and error, and even with the constraints #pixelbasher still surprises me. Consistency bears fruit in small but beautiful ways.

Town by the seaside

Urban spaces - work in progress for Spaceman Memories.

Currently working on urban environments for the game. #pixelbasher works like a charm with this. It is a very interesting excercise to try and find a style of architecture with the constraints of the software. Cant wait to color this! 🏯

Sunday postcard from me
To all of you🙇‍♂️

This is the Spaceman in the traditional japanese art style of Ukiyo-e which I've decided to use from now on for promotional artwork. I'm also sharing a bit of the sketching process before the compositing.

I'm working on the first trailer for the game in preparation for launching the game page on Steam. I'm currently working on a main musical theme for it and I'm really enjoying working with Logic Pro.
