Issue 8 of ZZap! 64 Micro Action has been released, containing a number of Protovision related exclusives.
The magazine shines the spotlight on Protovision’s upcoming title Cursed Tomb, an action puzzle game by Zbigniew Ross.
The Patreon exclusive cover disk contains a playable demo of "Stoker", an artistic looking platformer by Rhys Clatworthy that is set to receive a Protovision cartridge release upon its completion.
Also check out the interview with Søren Trautner Madsen, where he discusses the status of Limbo (demake of the PC/Xbox game) and "Awesome Slam Siblings" (a tribute to a well-known Beat 'em Up game series). Once completed, these titles could be published by Protovision in the future.
Subscription to ZZap! 64 Micro Action is through Patreon. In addition to PDF, you may obtain the magazine as physical version.
"This
is a Commodore 64 remake of LIMBO that was released on PC and Xbox in
2010, and across most platforms later. But the Commodore 64 version
has so far been missing, so I am planning to remedy that. The aim is
to make a playable (although shortened) version of the original game
with a hand-picked selection of defining areas that should be as recognizable
as possible. I am very focused on making the handling and gameplay feel
as accurate as possible, rather than making a long or difficult game.
I can probably realisticly do less than a fourth of the original setups,
and I am not planning on introducing needless repetitions, so do not
expect a game that will take many hours to complete.
