The Great Space Adventure

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.

The arms are done.

Now, let's see if adding wings is too much...

Trust me, this is part of the process of making cinematics.

If I can't do Sega CD-style, but don't want to resort solely to visual-novel style, I'll take Sierra-Adventure-Game on CD route.

This will be the last Bonus Stage I'll make for the game, because all the others are already developed.

Hopefully, there'll be more than dodging space potatoes, and I'll fix the HUD to not be the same one as the racing section.

We aren't in deep space. We're above the earth. There are no space potatoes above the earth. There's space debris, though.

The real trick now is figuring out what the starbase you're flying into looks like.

I probably should continue work on the final boss, but I wanted to show you what else I've been working on with this game.

Title menus are really important for home releases, and Game Overs are for less casual gamers.

Cutscene work begins with drawing backgrounds.

...maybe I made Timothy's hospital bed too small.

Nobody's going to mind a time-limited Bonus Stage as long as it's not mandatory to beat it, right?

...and nobody will mind if the developer himself has a hard time with it, either, right?

I forgot I designed the auctioneer recently. If there are robot maids, there are robot butlers, too.

...and yes, I did get inspiration from Jughead. What was your first clue?

Okay, the bed's a bit bigger. There are other details I need to correct as well.

Sadly, the reunion between Pinafore and a conscious Timothy will have to wait.

Almost there...

Thankfully, the fingers can be flipped around for the opposite direction.
