First place, been a while since that happened \o/
Thanks everybody for the support!
My Cyberpunk themed Oric demo was finally shown yesterday evening at the Nova demo party, here is the video that was shown, captured from a Oric 1 with a Loci device.
I hope you like it :)

I have a few ideas, they need to be fleshed out, but I think that could be an interesting game to play, and if it looks like there's potential, that one will also make it to Steam: If Encounter managed to pay back the $100 fee, I'm confident a dungeon crawler game can as well!⤵️
So a few people have been asking me if I would do other games after Encounter, and the answer is yes.
The first one would be to finish Quantum Fx and make it into an actual (free) game with gameplay that's fun to play, instead of a tech demo. ⤵️

And then I'd like to finish my Oric dungeon crawler.
The idea is to make an original game, with just some homage/nods to the classics of the genre, but with its own twists and original ideas, not just a clone of Dungeon Master. ⤵️

At that rhythm I'll probably not reach 50 reviews before it's time to enjoy my retirement... but every single one of these small positive reviews make me happy.
Thanks!
And if I somehow manage to finish this game and release it, that will make me enter to the very select club of indie developers who managed to finish more than one game! 😅
Finally uploaded my version 1.0 of my entry for the Nova demoparty. 🥳
Xeron and h0ffman have been doing second place three years in a row, hopefully my entry will not do any worse!
Not sure if that would interest anyone, but the source code and assets for CyberNova is now available:
github.com/Dhebug/Nova2...
And done optimizing for today.
In red is yesterday's first profile before I started digging in the code, and in green it's the results after having seriously hacked in the IRQ handler.
About 8.7% improvement, that's not too bad :)
(and yes, I've adjusted some demo timings)
