Have you played Atari today? ...not like this!


This is The Great Space Adventure. It’s a game heavily inspired by Atari games, and it shows.

You pilot a transforming robot called the Walking Orbital Laser Flyer, or WOLF, and you must save the twelve stars from the evil Big Floating Head. Shoot anything green, and especially shoot dragons, energy cores, and any enemy fire that comes up. Will you be victorious, or will you explode?

If this is a love letter to Atari, you don’t want to see their hate mail.

That sounds nice and all, but I think I'd better write what I know, and not just go with the poll's results for making my game. No offense.

I think we might need more levels, but I could be wrong.

Either way, Christmas Sweater Simulator 2 is on its way.

You know how some anime shows like to turn characters into chibis for over-the-top reactions?

Normally, I'd avoid doing this, since that's like a Disney Princess doing a wild take. Since Sam is more like a '90s anime character, she gets a free pass.

Not the most mindblowing thing I've done so far, but I wanted to try it out.

When doing mugshots, sometimes, it's a combination of both my initial sketch and my sprite.

I'm committed to his ridiculous head shape.

If you're worried about whether or not a setting doesn't feel realistic in a platform game's camera angle, treat it like it's a stage play. They're never that realistic, but we buy into them all the same.

I'm gonna give this game an animated billboard.

Yes it IS unusually low-res, just like real billboards.

Mr. Redford, the bald guy, is a lawyer and co-owner of WarrenWorks, a tech giant.

Samantha is a doctor (not a nurse) and Timmy's godmother.

Little Timmy is the last surviving Warren.

The Warrens owned Pinafore, and she took care of their summer home.

That frizzy hair is easier to draw by hand than in pixel art.

While Pinafore is influenced by '80s characters, Sam is influence by '90s characters. It might be hard to tell any difference.

The only things that carried over from the original sketch for little Timmy are his dapper outfit (which kinda makes him look like Richie Rich) and Astro Boy's nose.

Adding that bit of chub from the sprite made his face even more like Astro's.
