Hello everyone,
I want to announce that Moonbound, the first indie game that I've designed and developed, is coming to the Nintendo 3DS console next year!
I love arcade games and Moonbound is one of my dream projects that I've wanted to develop and publish for almost 10 years. I'm currently planning to self-publish the game in Nintendo's American and European regions (including Australia, New Zealand and South Africa).
Here's some general information about the game :
---
Title : Moonbound
Platform : Nintendo 3DS eShop Games (Nintendo 3DS Download Software)
Genre : Action
Nintendo Exclusive : Yes
Languages (Game) : English
Languages (eManual) : English (American version)
Peripherals : None (for example Circle Pad Pro)
Touch Screen : Not used
Stereoscopic 3D : Not used
Project Summary : Moonbound is a challenging 2D arcade action game that forces the player to make quick decisions under pressure. The player controls an astronaut who is returning to Earth after completing a geological survey mission in the Beta Iridian solar system. The astronaut's ship is suddenly damaged by an explosion! The energy crystals that are used as the ship's main power source are ejected out of the ship and land on six different moons. The player must return all of the remaining crystals to the ship to be able to return to Earth.
Game features :
* Survive through over 30 levels of challenging 2D arcade action!
* Encounter different enemies and environmental hazards on six moons
* Two game modes - Story Mode and Arcade Mode
* Four difficulty levels - Easy, Normal, Hard and Hardcore
* Level selection - Start a new game at any level
* Music player - Listen to all of the game's music tracks
Other game information :

Moonbound will work on all of the Nintendo 3DS console's models (Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 2DS, New Nintendo 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS XL and New Nintendo 2DS XL).
The game's first teaser marketing materials are now finished and you can view and download them here (public Dropbox link) :

Contents of the teaser marketing materials :
- Moonbound's official logo
- The game's Nintendo eShop banner (original and wallpaper versions)
- United Earth Explorers (UEE) logo which is used in the game's story and as the game's icon
- The game over scene's background
- Soundtrack sample : Trogor (name of one of the game's moons, .mp3 format)
I'm leading a small development team and I have currently worked over 1900 hours on the project. I'm responsible for the game's design, programming, testing, publishing and marketing. The game is still in development. It's gameplay, levels, story and music are almost finished but the graphics of the game's levels still need a lot of work.
I'll post more things about the game here as its development moves forward. I would like to read your thoughts about the game and its marketing materials. I'll also try to answer your questions but there are several things about the game that I don't want to reveal at this time.
