I heard you: you didn't like the art-style of the planets, so I decided to go back to the drawing board. Here's what I've come up with so far. 😊

Today I learned there was a Korean "Wing Commander" knock-off for MS-DOS called "Take Back". 😄 (and I recorded its glorious intro cinematic)

I've played both. They both offer frankly unprecedented replay value in an adventure game landscape that seems content to tell a singular linear story and call it a day. The complexity of these games is unreal.

Also, Francisco is a nice guy who can bench press me (and has).

This unassuming little ramp was a heck lot more of an effort than I expected. The cliff is created with Unity's rule tiles and telling those to make an exception in the collider and let the player through was a real pain. 😅

It's probably not realistic for an early 90s space shooter to have over 20k asteroids, but I don't care. 😆

Two new weapon-types: Plasma Cannon and EMP. 😊
Not using transparency made these effects a bit tricky, but I think they work well enough now. 😅 (and will be even better when sound comes into play)

The Jester and the Madman has now sold 280 units... which I'm pretty proud of. If you compare that to Cantaloupe Chronicle which release 4 months earlier and only sits at 179 units total. Yes it's more expensive, but it also took me almost a year to complete compared to the 3 months of TJATMM. 😅

I'm really happy that so many players (and streamers) are rediscovering "Curse of the Old Gods" after they finished playing through "The Jester and the Madman" (the sequel). That's such a compliment. 🥰

I know many people hate AI, but it's astonishing how far it got regarding consistency. This kind of workflow was unthinkable just a few months ago. 😮
