Hey everyone!
With the recent announcement of the new Neo Geo AES+, I’ve been feeling inspired to start a new project — a retro-style Platformer designed with that classic hardware in mind.
I’m a software engineer with 15+ years of experience, and I’m looking to collaborate with:
🎨 Pixel artists (character sprites, environments, UI)- 🎵 Musicians (chiptune / Neo Geo–style soundtrack)
🖋️ Writer / Narrative designers (worldbuilding, dialogue, lore)- 🎮 Game designer
What is already working:
- 🛠️ A working engine — building in C/SDL with a full Neo Geo–targeted toolchain, compiling toward real hardware.
The goal is to create something that feels authentic to the era while still being a fresh experience. I’m especially interested in pushing the limits of the hardware and embracing that old-school workflow.
If the project turns out well, I’m also planning to explore a physical cartridge release, so this could become something tangible and collectible.
Right now this is a passion project, but I’m serious about seeing it through and building a small team of like-minded creators who love retro development.
If you’re interested, drop a comment or message me with your portfolio/work!
Let’s make something worthy of the Neo Geo legacy. 🕹️
