I spent a lot of this weekend working on the startup sequence of my game. Primortal is a love story to the GameBoy Advanced and my childhood playing on it: it’s rendered in 240x160, and your inputs are limited to A/B/Start/Select/D-Pad.

So when a player starts my game I want them to know, in their bones, that they’re getting into a GBA game.

This is what I came up with :) I’m very happy with the visuals, I want to keep working on the audio, but today is honestly the first time I’ve touched music editing software in almost 20 years… So it will take some practice.

I’m a little concerned about flying too close to the sun with some of the mimicry/homage that there’s some copyright infringement? I hope not… What do you think?
