Another STosser!
Portal To Xenithor is a flick-screen platformer currently under development by Michael Keenleyside. The adventure begins with us having survived a crash landing on a monster-infested moon colony. Our job is to kill the nasties and search for a replacement spaceship before piloting through to a victorious escape.
It's early days, but the storyline and map designs are taking shape. End-of-level cutscenes are planned to be used as the adventure unfolds. The visual style is dark and moody and soon to be enhanced by eerie music. Michael is about six months into the project and considering the possibility of a different engine for other parts of the game. These will use the hardware scrolling and DMA Audio of the Atari STe.
Michael is nuts about STOS Game Creator and wishes to pay homage to Francois Lionet so development will be done using this and Missing Link/Maestro. The estimated requirements are a 4MB Atari ST with support for hard disk installation. Personally, I'm reminded of Stryx and Baal and can't wait to see it completed!
Update: Michael has started a STOS Coders group with Francois Lionet
