Work, damn you!"

Inspired by Alien Isolation, we remade this hacking minigame in Minicube64 to be as close to the original as possible but within the fantasy console's 64x64 pixel screen resolution.

The minigame includes multiple stages of randomised glyphs with increasing difficulty. It was made to learn the technical capabilities of MC64.

Mars kinda sucks.

Ares Breathes

2X23091403

We designed this logo for the upcoming Ares Breathes, a survival horror game in development by Pyotr Romanov. The game takes place on Mars in a destroyed colony, controlling a bulky environment suit to explore and uncover the secrets of what happened.

The logo is intended to convey broken pieces that come together to form a whole, the repeating arcs evocative of breathing, and the passing of time as the sun rises on the red planet.

We were approached by Anticleric to produce this promotional artwork for the upcoming hard-scifi VR game project LOW-FI.

Intended to evoke a cyberpunk aesthetic, a new version of the game logo was designed and then deconstructed using visuals reminiscent of barcodes.

The graphics were designed to fit the size of a 3½-inch floppy disk label, which were printed onto disks and handed out at a developer convention.

Hosted by ZeroPage Homebrew, the annual award show celebrates the independent retro development scene that continues to make games for Atari systems to this day.

Our game for the Atari 26OO was a personal achievement developing a game for that system, and seeing how much gameplay and content could fit in a standard 4K cartridge, was a significant challenge.

We also received nominations for Best Graphics, and Best Music and Sound.

The game was made from the ground-up with no prior knowledge of developing for the system, or working with 6502 assembly.

In the end, the available ROM and memory capacity of the cartridge and the console itself was enough to meet our intentions, succeeding to fit 4 major game locations with non-linear exploration, many enemy types and gameplay systems to make this a worthwhile title for collectors, and new players alike.

Again we wish to thank James O'Brien of ZeroPage Homebrew, and the community that nominated our game.

To be recognised for this achievement is truly humbling.

The game has been published for NTSC Atari 26OO systems by AtariAge and has gone on to sell well, along with digital versions that people are able to play in emulators, or in browser directly in itch.io
