Here’s a bunch of really nice Virtual Boy style mockup screenshots found on deviantART, made by emobook101. Inspiring, aren’t they? 🙂

These look eerily similar to “Biolab Disaster”, which I just “rediscovered” (and played through again) last night! Spoooooky!

I would *love* to play a good “mini-metroid-style” platformer, filled with tons of hand-drawn stereo environments, on the VB.

EDIT: I restored the “VALUE” image to 1:1 scale (and padded/cropped it to VB screen size).

Have you been messing with ImpactJS? 🙂 Well, yeah, it reminded me of Biolab Disaster, too. And Minitroid! Man, that would make a cool VB game.

Here’s a screen I modified to be in the VB’s native resolution, using double width pixels (4 pixels to simulate one).

Not as such… I just stumbled upon it while researching a related topic. It would be fun to try to make a game with it, though.

BTW, cool “re-mockup” :thumpup: Now just slap it together with some old BLOX code and make a full game! 😉

Was anyone else wondering how this would look like in motion? Well, I built a quick playable scene from the above mockups today in the VBJaEngine. After running the ROM on a real VB, I conclude that using double width pixels to simulate a 192×112 resolution works quite well and aestecially it’s _very_ interesting and pleasing! I think I’ll play around with this art style a bit more. 🙂

[x] done (well, sort of :-D)

i’ve been in a writing mood lately. pouring all kinds of emotions, ideas, and research into a story. if you want to make a little game, let me know chris. i’d love to write the text (story) for a new vb homebrew.

i really like this graphix style and i think the vb needs another great platformer. although (wario land speaking) perhaps a story isn’t really needed, let the game play (design/stages/goals) be the story.

I will send you a PM as soon as I can sit down for a moment and sum up what I have so far, Lester. 🙂

That’s a really cool demo, Krisse!

I agree! That little guy reminds me of that dude from Blaster Master on the NES when you exit the vehicle. good stuff, Krisse!

Yeah, good work man!
