@@JustWasted3HoursHere Well, then you should have seen better games e.g. Turrican, Katakis, Enforcer, Project Firestart, Rick Dangerous 2, Last Ninja 2, just to name a few and the latest upcoming "A Pig Quest" and "Puzztle Bobble"! Compared to these "... Hawksmill" seems rather mediocre (to me). Still I appreciate the efforts and the love that was put into this game!
Excellent story and I liked the stormy, gloomy atmosphere. The music was great too, though perhaps a bit too low. If there was one negative it would be the lack of real resource management; you can go nuts with your guns, never having to reload after so many shots, and ammo is abundant. The boss seemed super easy, too.
What impresses me most in this game is the atmospheric intro, the outro, the weather screens outside. The gameplay unfortunately looks too repetetive and a good soundtrack is also missing. Great player overlay sprite!
How can the main character have such a high resolution? It looks like being rendered at a higher graphical resolution than the rest of the game and also way to detailed for being a C64 sprite. Just compare that to the clunky shotgun in his hand when he's firing. Is this some kind of trickery or how did they do that?
By using more Sprites ( Each High Res Single Colour ) - or using more Sprites (One Sprite Low Res Multicolour, one Sprite black High Res to outline over the multicolour ) - ( btw. Some Programmers are able to use more than 8 Sprites with specific rules) - the background gfx in this game uses mulicolour, so they are Low Res
How do you see these keys and apples and such? I can't see a thing on your playthrough and when i play. How do you reach down to get things you don't know are there? I don't understand how you know there is something there!
Great looking game, wish we had it back in the day 🤓
Wow, what an amazing achievement! Possibly the best example of what a C64 can do, ever.
Ever?! How long do you know this machine?

@@syncrow76 Of course this sort of comparison is entirely subjective. What one person might find impressive might be considered 'meh' to another.
I think the game would be athmospherically *perfect* with a nice, subtle tune in the background.
This, seems like a great game.

Killing a Lovecraft thing with a machine gun? Good luck with that. 😂

Hail Lovecraft!

Several sound effects are from Turrican.
