It's nice to be involved in something a bit different every now and again isn't it? In this case I was approached to do the artwork for a board game entitled THE HORROR. It was certainly a change from my usual drawing style.
It's set in deep space and has a mal-intentioned alien parasite pursuing you. What's not to like! As soon as I can muster enough people together I'll be having a go at this.
Top stuff!
Details can be found at the John Dee games website.
It is a simple platform game but has a lot of random generation in it to give maximum variety: blocks, space invaders, imps, names, layouts. It also contains rainbow graphics, which gives the appearance of breaking the spectrums 2 colours per character square rule. The loading screen is also composed of predominantly random space invaders too, different every load.
A tank of thank to Dr Thomas, who did the excellent Schubert music.
Can be found here. It works best on the 48k spectrums but is compatible with other models, I'm hoping to do get some help & do a Russian version.
