Project: PAG - Tech Demo

Project: PAG (Portable Adventure Game) is the development name of a new GBA game. This is only a tech demo submitted for GBA jam 2024 with some basic game mechanics.

NOTE: All screenshots except the first one are not actual screenshots but ideas how the game could look once development have progressed further down the line. Currently there is minimal gameplay implemented and no game world to walk around in.

Implemented:

• Camera movement
• Physics Collisions
• Aiming
• Movement

Controls:

    D-Pad: Walk around
    L: Aim in walking direction
    R while walking: Roll
    R while standing still: Aim
    L+R: Lock aim

Changelog:

Version 0.1.1:

• Update physics logic to be more correct
• Some new graphics for items (assets) to push around
• Smoother camera
• Changed controls (still not final)

For this version, I've mainly been working on improving the technical side of the game engine. I've implemented compression, interrupts, resource management and overall integration with the GBA hardware. So this version is very similar to v0.1.0. There is no additional gameplay. The only noticeable differences are stated in the bullet list above. I wanted to get this out before the end of the year so that the few people that is following the project can at least see that the project is not dead.


Version 0.1.0:

• Initial GBA Game jam 24 release.
