26.10.2026 - 'Islands' - game for C64 and VIC-20 released - free for download
'Islands' is a medieval fantasy roguelike for Game Boy, C64 and VIC-20. A small island, but a surprisingly deep adventure. The game began as a Game Boy project in 2022. When it was abandoned, it already had generators for dungeons and indoor locations, along with all the tile graphics. Modern programming techniques rescued the project in 2026, turning that unfinished foundation into a complete adventure across three classic machines. The sound effects for all three platforms were crafted by old, trembling hands. To complete the experience, a seasoned, partly deaf human composer created a six-minute, two-channel soundtrack for the C64 version. The entire game and its seemingly infinite universe - procedurally generated anew for every adventure - fit on an unbanked 32 KB Game Boy cartridge, with single-load versions for the C64 and VIC-20.
