Project Overview

*Laughs at how I put "NEW THIS YEAR" on the promo banner for this game.. last year*

Hi, and welcome to the project page for Timmy in the Magic Cave.
TMC as I'll abbreviate it is/will be a retro platformer, based on the capabilities of the NES/SMS. The basic plot of the game so far is as follows:

Timmy's brother has disappeared! And of course, it is up to you to find him! As you go through the Magic Cave, you find things are not as they should be..

Something is wrong.

Features of the game include/will include:
-Retro graphics and sound
-Sound effects by Nifflas
-Custom soundtrack by Felix Lindgren
-Sturdy engine (based on the Platform movement object)
-Authentic retro gameplay

The idea of the game is that you have to collect power-ups to progress through the game. For those who want a basic idea of what gameplay will be like, think Knytt Stories meets Lyle in Cube Sector. Both excellent games, by the way.

Wow.

This project has come back from the dead. Not only because I've managed to finally recover the MFA (Which I lost), but also because Felix Lindgren - who should be knighted - who is doing the soundtrack for me - has sent me his first tracks, which are so fantastically fitting that this project has been kickstarted back to life.

So, watch this space!

Progress has been slightly slowed for the moment due to focus on ExoEarth, which looks far more promising.

Sorry.

Oh... Oh Dear..

Right. THAT WAS TOO LONG. I'm sorry about that. Y'see, School started again and there was work and other distractions plus the move over to a second PC meant that TMC (and exoEARTH) were kinda shelved. BUT FOR NO LONGER!

I HEREBY ANNOUNCE MY RETURN!

What's this? Progress?

Hmm..
Progress has been slowed recently by a very popular proving side project. I am not cancelling TMC though. Repeat!
