STORY
Destructive robots are running rampant on Turquoise Island! Nadine, a prototype robot of unknown origin, fights to save her home and friends while searching for her creator.
GAMEPLAY
Prototype N is a side scrolling shooting platformer. Nadine, a prototype android, has a limited loadout of weapons. She must use them to get through many stages filled with tricky obstacles such as dangerous robotic foes, hazardous traps and more!
Nadine, equipped with her arm cannon, can shoot her way through the levels found in the game. While she is equipped with a little plasma shooter, there are several other weapons spread throughout the levels. Each have their own unique properties and interact with enemies and the environment in different ways. There are currently seven types of special weapons in this demo.
A major feature in the demo are Shields. The current demo only has 3 types of shields, Basic, Fire and Metal. Every shield protects you from up to two hits unless stated otherwise. Fire Shield protects you from fire projectiles from enemies and takes a hit from lava up to 4 times before wearing out. Metal Shield attracts items within a radius, it also protects you from spikes up to 4 times before wearing out.
Each level has several kind of collectables such as health pick ups, ammo refills, and Gems! Gems are this game's currency which you can use to buy Weapons and Shields in Shops found throughout the World Map.
Another collection are DataChips, which are permanent collectables. Each stage has 3 of them to find while boss levels will reward you with one upon destroying the boss. Most Datachips contains data about enemies, locations and weapons and are all viewable in the Data Base found in the Main Menu.
CHARACTERS
 Nadine | Age: 23 The main protagonist of this game. She is a prototype android who does not know who built or and why. She sets off to an adventure when a robot army invades the island she resides in. |
 Clara | Age: 25 The shopkeeper and Nadine's closest friend. She, along with her sister, found Nadine in an inactive state on one fateful day. She is responsible for selling items that helps Nadine on her adventure. Clara sees Nadine as more than a friend. |
 Selena | Age: 21 The mechanic and Clara's younger sister. She played a vital role in restoring Nadine when they've found her. Her incredibly impressive knowledge on machines allows her to build weapons and shields, but they come at the cost of using the gems Nadine collects. She is a big fan of lesser known video games and even owns a plush of several characters from them. |

This is so cool... I love the art in the little cutscene bits. And the menus really take me back!
Thanks, it means a lot to hear that!!
There are no other platforms planned atm. If you're meaning consoles, I especially don't have any means to do that without doing something that costs a ton of money that's beyond my reach. I don't have much money myself and I've been making this game on my free time as a hobbyist project.
That said, I do plan to release the full game here as a paid game, with the demo still being freely available so people can try before buying. I haven't decided the price yet though...
I hope I can meet everyone's expectations when the full game is completed. It really means a lot to see so many people receptive of the demo! I'll keep working on it in full spirits. <3
One thing: Tube TV filter is not good enough. The appearance given by the composite cables of the time (AV) is missing. The Tube TV filter alone makes no real difference. Look, for example, at CRT Royale compared to Royale-Ntsc, from Retroarch, when we talk about dithering and color blending....
Overall, the game has a lot of potential, and those involved seem to have a lot of care and know what they are doing. I had fun. Thanks!
