Finally finished it. Maybe add some music to the exposition cutscenes. If there's one thing NES played a lot 99% of the time is music of some kind.
I had a great time, and I still have more to play for another video!
One of the most accurately designed classic style games I've played in awhile, Space Outlaw Alice has all the best qualities of an old NES era platformer. There's plenty of action to keep the player busy shooting and dodging, plus the space robot segments are pretty great as well, providing more than just run'n'gun gameplay. The art and music styles also work very well to scratch that nostalgia itch you may have, and the challenging bosses will keep you coming back. Usually for revenge after they kill you. Great job on this, devs, and keep up the good work.

Space Outlaw Alice is a retro game that brings together two different genres. The game follows the main character, the outlaw Alice, as she gets targeted by the corrupt government of the Earth Union and needs to deal with mysterious extra-dimensional monsters that appeared out of nowhere. As she runs through the stages, the player will experience a classic platform action with a lot of jumping and shooting. However, when the time comes to pilot Seraph, her giant robot, the game will shift to a horizontal shoot'em up with even more shooting. Space Outlaw Alice is highly inspired by the classic games of the Famicom video game console and the mecha anime genre. Its plot and characters are carefully presented through 8-bit cutscenes between the stages.
History
The year is 2378 A.D. Humanity is already expanding into space, but its progress is being held back by the corrupt regulation of Earth Union. In addition to the inability to rely on its own government, both Earth and space are plagued by criminal activities and terrorist attacks. Alice, fearless outlaw and captain of the spaceship Valiant Gear, accepts a job to raid a military facility and gets caught up in a situation that will determine the fate of the world. Targeted by the Earth Union army and facing the coming of extra-dimensional creatures that threatens to exterminate all forms of life, she and her crew will need to make a decision. Run and mind their own business or join the battle and help everyone?

Now, for some actual gameplay footage! Level design in progress :)
The attacks are working! This is probably my last post this year, so I wish everyone a happy new year! Thank you for following and supporting me. I will work hard to release SOA in 2019 :)
The first of its two movements! I based it on one of the Incredible Hulk's signature attacks.
I'll take a break tomorrow for xmas, but I hope I can finish all attacks before 2019 :) Happy Holidays everyone!
I reused the background of the closed area from stage 1-2 so I could quickly test how these enemies appear :) now I'll probably nerf them a little bit
As I promised in the last post, it moves! I'm still fixing some bugs out, but I'm liking this enemy so far. I even went overkill and destroyed it using Seraph's special attack :)
This wicked guy won't move (or take hits) yet, but that will change soon enough!
Yup, these guys come in two colors!
Unfortunately I wasn't able to work on the game last week, but now I'm back with the first enemy for Stage 2-2! This one will probably be quite annoying :D we'll see!

Wrapping up the first half of stage 2 with all the remaining dialogues. Development of the second half with Seraph will begin soon!
