it's also 20 years ago that I seriously started #blogging, about my NDS development progress, but also scanning and posting archive #QBASIC #gamedev documents from our 90's #BilouAdventure project.
This month, #BilouAdventure project will turn 31. For the 20th anniversary, I did a code marathon on my own and released a 1-level demo in the School Zone: http://sylvainhb.blogspot.com/search/label/20years
I had hope to release #BilouDreamLand for the 30th anniversary, but let's be honest: I no longer have the spare time and energy to make another marathon. If "Dreamland" was out next week, who would you show it to ?
In the first release of #BilouAdventure solo anniversary level (http://sylvainhb.blogspot.com/2013/10/20-ans.html), I had to use a caption on the blog post so that players would know they need to break one "barrier" to keep going.
Later revision replaced it with a chalk, that can break if you fall from high enough. But that wasn't properly explained to player either.
My current #gamedev project is #BilouDreamland, (http://sylvainhb.blogspot.com/search/label/dreamland?updated-max=2020-03-16T20:42:00%2B01:00), starring the same character than #BilouSchoolRush, featuring 4 different worlds to travel (including environment from #BilouGreenZone and #InfinitePyramid) in a linear adventure with a scope and length drawing inspiration from the original Kirby's Dreamland on Game Boy.
Oh, and it has to feature true boss fights or my son will disapprove.
I plan to include as much of the levels designed for #BilouAdventure as possible.
30 years ago (ouch), my bro and a friend started designing a grand platformer video game: Bilou's adventure. When I use #BilouAdventure, this is what I relate to.
I tried making it in BASIC, and stopped in world 2-1.
Maybe one day, I'll be ready to work on it again. http://sylvainhb.blogspot.com/search/label/adventure
