Now with Music and SFX

Plans didn't work out this weekend for Ludum Dare 44, but I made the best of it by revisiting this old gameboy project and adding some new features.

We received some really excellent feedback from the comments and judging panel during the competition, and really appreciate all of it! We've implemented no gameplay changes, as we wanted to preserve the game as it stands, but I took the time to learn OpenMPT, get a lovely Mod Playing library and workflow figured out, and also added a basic SFX engine. There's music, bleeps and bloops galore!

There's much room for improvement, but overall I'm happy with where this has ended up. I want to refine some of the better ideas from this dare into proper libraries and prepare for the next challenge, but this will probably be the last update to Dyson's Fear. Thanks for all the support!

Ludum Dare 42 - Final Build

This is our submission for Ludum Dare 42! We didn't get all the features we wanted (notably I never got to implement sound) but given that we were both learning z80 assembly and this is our first project targeting Gameboy, I'm very happy with what we ended up with. It's a more or less complete, playable game with procedural level generation.

We will almost certainly continue to work on this and polish it up for a proper homebrew release. It's a pretty fun concept.
