I started working on my older 8 bit game again. But since it's going to be redone fully, and it will have some minor changes, I decided to create another thread for it. The older one could be found here. I want to sell this one (hopefully). After I visited Steam store lately, and found out how many crap they sell there, I decided to give it a try Who knows, maybe my crappy game will make it. Game will contain some basic story:

I'll post here my current progress so far.

Right now I just finished all animations for the alien, take a look at this:

must have been hell to create those fine sprites

It took the whole day, and yet they are pretty dirty.. I guess a good artist could create them within an hour or so.
Thank you for your kind words

nice animations!

However the story.. not sure if it's intentional but there are so many bad movies and games with the same basic concept. It's really getting old in my opinion (and cheap).

Thank you for your kind words! Yeah, the story intentionally is going to fit that cheesy 'template' which trash movies use! I would like to add some humour into the game (parody).

All friends have tools needed to make their ship start so he better find them hows that for a story

Thank you for an idea! Sounds pretty nice, but I have my own story planned (if I didn't write anything in this thread, is doesn't mean that I have no story yet I just want things to be more intriguing ).

Best regards.

R E S P E C T M A T E !

Awesome animations of your sprites really!

Thank you!

Work is going on (implementing basic game mechanics + weapons + visuals):
