Well, after many months of work, I can make the presentation of my project, The Banketh - The Video Game.

The game is linear adventure type, but with small details of exploration.

It is composed of 5 levels, plus 4 sub-levels that make connection between the previous ones. In this way, the first level is a culvert, the second level is an office, the third level is a park, the fourth level is a cargo ship, and the fifth level is an old street. Between level and level we must mount in a motorcycle and overcome some obstacles to reach the next level.

Mutant monsters have kidnapped my four friends and I must go through all Santander in their search, and then exterminate the chief of the mutants. Very simple.

Each level has a riddle or secret to discover to be able to overcome, whether keys, buttons or anything else that is hidden.

All scenarios are based on locations in the city of Santander (Spain).

It is mounted on a UNROM 128Kb card.

Programed in C with the Shiru´s library NESlib.

I have to create the music. For now I have only been able to create some sound.

It also contains some bugs that I still have to solve. Some problem with collisions, etc ...

I teach you captures:







The reason why it was relatively hidden was just so my friends did not know anything, since the main objective was to make them a Christmas gift with this video game.

I explain a little: The Banketh is a name that means nothing. It is a play on words mixing Spanish and English. When we were very young, we spent a lot of time sitting on a bench in a street near our homes, and sometimes we played the "Spanglis" that was invented words in English with words in Spanish; Simply by laughing a little at how ridiculous those words sounded.

In this way, as we were always sitting on a bench, it occurred to us to play the word game with this (in Spanish it is called "banco"), and came out "banketh ". And since then we call ourselves The Banketh.

Today at last, being Christmas, my friends have woken up with the finished gift (lie, it really is BETA 1.3) under their Christmas trees. Some have cried a lot, because they did not expect it, and in general the reception has been very great.

The next objective is to fix the problems of the game, create music, improve the sound, outline some levels, and later make a crowfunding campaign ... although the latter I still have to think a lot.

Right now there are 5 units that I have created by hand, and it has remained like this:
A greeting from Santander. I'll go slowly posting the news.

This looks like a game right up my alley! Love adventure style puzzles. I love the backstory as well. Always fun to work on something that has some meaning to you. Best of luck with finishing up the game!

Neat! Fun to see something else done in Shiru's C library.

Lots of info here, as well as a community willing to help. I'm sure you'll be hearing from people soon!

Thank you for posting about it. I really enjoyed the backstory. Can't wait to get home and try it out!

Great looking game!   I love the story on how it was conceived too.

Looks great!

Oh man, looks great! I'm a fan of overhead action adventures!

Glad to finally see you posting about this game and the updated screenshots look amazing! Is it safe to say it'll be released on cartridge in 2017?

You are a man on mission for your book! None of these new Homebrews are getting by you. I love it!
 

Awesome backstory and it looks like a fun game. Thanks for sharing.

I'm trying! However, I do have to have a disclaimer in each section as there are bound to be games that are so closehold that I'm not tracking them. Thing is, that's what we all love about NES homebrews, so many surprises and brand new NES games!

 

Wow!! Hello and welcome. This is a very exciting project! !!

Cool game, cool name, cool story.

Buenish Suertation! (or Suertashion maybe?)  

Cool concept and history for your game. Looks pretty rad!

  Indeed, I want to start a crowdfunding campaign by the end of January, and get to make about 150 numbered units.

I'll let you know when it starts. I have many doubts about how to do it so that everything goes well.

For starters, I do not know whether to do crowdfunding from Kickstarter or from Verkami.

Oh very nice!

Well my NES Oddities & the Homebrew Revolution book is launching on Kickstarter February 1st. If you launch I'll be sure to share and cross-promote your game, regardless of where you host it at. Also, if you'd like to include your game with the Homebrew Box Set to get more exposure, shoot me a PM here as I might have room for an extra game or two in the box!

 

Many people will see such platforms as a terrible injustice. Welcome to the 8bits era.

Looks great. Congrats.

LoL, this looks pretty dang cool.

Within a few days I launched the crowdfunding campaign through Verkami. I leave you an advance:

Best of luck with your crowdfunding! Looking great!

Thank you very much!

It's the first time I've tried this, and the truth is that I really want everything to work out.

**UPDATE 08/02/2017** CROWDFUNDING time!

You can already collaborate in the crowdfunding of the videogame from Verkami: http://www.verkami.com/locale/en/...

We have 40 days to get a minimum of 3. 500 euros to make this project a reality.

The video game itself, consists of the cartridge, box, instructions, and protective case. It has been priced 39 € (shipping costs to Spain included).



It also offers the acquisition of cup with the logo of RetroNES Software and blue shirt with the cover of the game.

But maybe what interests you most is the complete video game pack plus beer La Grúa, who will make a special run of his Australian Pale Ale with the video game cover The Banketh in its labeling. It's cool.

Dude! This is sick!
