About this game

Prince of Thieves (2024) is a personal reinterpretation of a project developed in 2016 for Public Domain Jam 3 right here on itch.io. It is an early 80s style fixed screen arcade game, designed with the philosophy of reviving classic video games.

Development stage

Currently the project has all the main systems and mechanics already implemented and functional. Minor mechanics, secondary enemies, some obstacles, etc. have not yet been implemented.

This early alpha version features 8 phases + bonus phase and sound effects.

 

Help needed

The project needs help to:

 

Testing

I spend a lot of my free time involved in development and therefore not doing long playtest sessions. My good friend All-x Dev at Red Screen Soft has been a great help with this, but it would be great if I could count on some more "hardcore" players to report bugs and suggest improvements.

 

Chiptune composer

I'm looking for a partnership with someone specialized in 8-bit chiptune production, especially with "early NES" style games. Feel free to get in touch: dottomeisterdev@gmail.com
