Neon lights never shined brighter
Until I Have You, is a story-driven, fast-paced, retro-aesthetic platformer, engulfed in a Cyberpunk setting.
Driving you to the edge of your seat as you run n' gun through enemies, the game recounts a thrilling story of regret, love and corruption, in a city that’s gone haywire and just doesn't give a damn.
This is the story of the ARTIST, a talented assassin, who has worked many dirty jobs in a long and successful career. Finally heeding the pleadings of his wife, he has decided it's time to quit this ugly business and live a simple and peaceful life. However the ARTIST’s clients know he is irreplaceable, and are unwilling to allow the craftsman to hangup his tool belt. They send him this message by kidnapping his wife, Emily, and make it clear, retirement is not an option! The ARTIST is determined to get his wife back, and prepares himself for one last assignment. He understands to be successful he needs to go all out, and he procures a rare exoskeleton suit. Although this provides him with additional powers, it also can cause hallucinations and affect his judgment.

"I've worked on several games most famously known for The Cat Lady, where I coded the interface, Downfall, where I fixed the interface, and Primordia, where I coded the entire game, plus the interface. I've been a huge fan of games such as MEGAMAN, Strider and always wanted to built a platformer that deviates from the norm and gives the ability to the player to perform extraordinary stunts and tricks, if they master the controls, and that it should feel limitless, as if they're bending the world to accommodate his skill. That is why I've started working on this with Andrea Ferrara. We share our passion for challenging games, and old school graphics."
"Before becoming an active member of the Adventure Game Studio community I used to work alone on games; writing, programming and making the art. I worked on a couple of indie adventure games released as freeware that became quite well known in the net, such as Donald Dowell and the Ghost of Barker Manor. I knew James from the AGS forums before offering to help with the graphics for indie adventure game Troll Song. When two months ago James showed me a very early WIP of Until I Have You (made with placeholder graphics), I instantly realized the huge potential of that game and told James you just have to let me make the graphics for this!.
Until I Have You aims to recount a thrilling story of regret, love, corruption, and things gone haywire, under the strong, vibrant neon lights of a metropolitan city that just doesn't give a damn. If you could save someone, how much of yourself would you be willing to sacrifice?
Allright, so the game will be available on the 4th of April on Steam.
SCREENIES GALORE:
Well, it mostly talks about how we got to make a train filled chapter from start to finish.
I tend to make little sense when I ramble. Hopefully, this doesn't come out as garbled as I think it will. I'm explaining a bit how we chose to pick less...
This is mostly about how progress is going with Chapter 12, and hopefully a deeper analytical view
Awesome platformer à la 80s, some classy old action movie plot:
+Lovely pixelated graphics - i love both level design and scenes between levels
+Good music
+You can choose between mouse/keyboard/joystick controls + you can remap controls as you like
+You can pick the amount of smoothing, so the game looks less pixelated (but why whould you on the 1st place lol)
+Challenging - big plus for hardcore platformer lovers
+Neon billboards
++Steam achievements
++Steam cards
-Can be frustrating hard :| (Now there are 2 difficulties, the easier one has checkpoints :) )

Hey, will you be needing any music for this game?
Hey Sbeast, I'm afraid that's covered. But thanks for offering ^_^
Looks max-cyberpunk!
ICHI - is his last name, "The Killer?" :)
I like the world building / character concept with the drug usage as a byproduct of the cyborg enhancement process.
I will need to play the boss battles on easy the first time possibly as I never did get Castlevania. I do play a lot of Mega Man though. :)
Thanks Christiaaan <33 And yes, it's a reference to Ichi The Killer.
