Hello everyone. Well let me start off by showing some art from the game... 
http://fc07.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/007/1/5/Viral_Outbreak_by_BossCrab.png Man I wish I could post the pics directly into this thread. Anyway... So here's a basic summary of the game. You play as KAP( Kappa Anti-Virus Program) as you install into a computer filled with viruses (virals). Throughout the game you travel through levels that make up a computer, places like App Central and Documents ridding the computer of the viral infection. Another aspect of the game, and the reason why we began calling it Downgrade is the unique health system. The game is in 32bit and as you go down in health so will the graphics of the game. That means depending on your health level the game will either be in 32bit, 16bit, 8bit, and 4bit. 4bit being the lowest your health can be before crashing. The game plays like castleroid .. or metroidvania rather. Cavestory is a better example actually. We have alot of art pumping out for this game as we have two sprite artists and a concept artist and have been working for a couple months now. We have a programmer but hes had a really rough last couple of months and hasnt done much and needs help so I was wondering if there were any programmers out there who know their stuff that would like to get in on this. We plan on entering an indie game contest and also generally making this game big in the indie game scene and splitting the money from that. [Edited by - synje on January 21, 2010 9:31:24 AM]
