Gameinfo:
Another Star is a console-style RPG with a fast-paced battle system and a world
that encourages players to explore and discover hidden areas as they lead their
party on a journey across a fantasy world. While clearly influenced by the style
and gameplay of the past, the game also implements innovations and ideas from
the present. Random battles are less intrusive than classic console RPGs,
alerting the player when enemies have been encountered, but giving them the
choice to accept and fight, or ignore and continue exploring.
Inspired by the 26th Ludum Dare competition theme of Minimalism, Another Star
uses a single 128 128 tile sheet to craft a vast and varied world for players
to experience. While some retro games focus on parody and humor, Another Star
lets its plot play out on its own weight to evoke the atmosphere of story-
telling in an age when storage space was tight and every word had to count.
The game is presented using an optional CRT filter to emulate the look and feel
of classic eight bit consoles. Additionally, the game's soundtrack is composed
using samples from the Yamaha YM2413, a budget-priced FM that was built into or
used as an add-on in several systems of the era.
