20 Balloons REMAKE on CDROM
It’s been a while
Apologies for the lack of posts these past months. I’ve been so wrapped up in small projects that always felt too small to write about. Then right when I had a project that felt blog-worthy, I got super sick THREE TIMES!!! Enough of the excuses and apologetics here’s my latest work.
20 Balloons in 20 seconds REMAKE 2025
That’s right, I just remade my most popular(if you count the three school friends that said it was good) game I ever made(for now…). I started the remake in late March while learning SDL 1.2. “SDL 1.2!!!??”, I hear some say. Yes, I used SDL 1.2 for its uniquly quirky yet portable software renderer. The remake is fairly barebones so far. Hell, I didn’t even bother to add more than ONE sprite. Nevertheless, enjoy these screenshots.
SCREENSHOTS
You may have noticed the blank space on the right. I am planning on putting high scores there later to make it more like an arcade game. Speaking of new additions, I’m planning on adding an endless mode with power-ups. Even with all this you have yet to see the coolest thing about this game.
CD-ROM RELEASE????
Yep, a game on CD-R in the year 2025. It’s important to note that the only thing on this disc is a Windows setup executable for the game. I wanted to make it feel like a random shareware game from 1999 or something. The coolest part? THIS GAME RUNS ON WINDOWS 9X SYSTEMS!!!!
Conclusion(Not really I just don’t know what else to say)
Even with all this fun porting I still think it’s important for me to make this the best possible game I can. I need to focus on this game and get feedback from friends. Not to even mention the art I need to make. Anyway, that’s all for now, have a great day, or week!!! Oh, and nearly forgot to add a link to the source of the game here.
