black screen

PC version available on Steam!

black screen is a lo-fi, laid back space trading game for the SEGA Dreamcast, inspired by GTA: Chinatown Wars, Elite, and Asteroids.

Buy and sell goods, gear up your ship, and befriend characters in each sector of the galaxy so that they'll help you discover the mythical key to immortality, rumored to be hidden in the sector.

• Retro-style presentation featuring a mix of vector and pixel art, all in black and white (and a little gray)
• Use your weapons to mine asteroids and fight off space pirates
• Search the world for unique upgrades for your ship
• 8 anthropomorphic creatures to meet
• Original soundtrack
• Made by one person

You can play it on a real console by burning a disc or loading it using a GDEMU, or it should run nicely on an emulator (smaller size file provided for emulators and GDEMU).

I've spent the last few months releasing development builds of black screen here. If in that time you're donated any amount of money, please let me know if you're unable to access the full release and I will send you a copy.

NOTE: As a stylistic decision black screen runs at 240p. If playing on an emulator please ensure that texture filtering is set to Force Nearest-Neighbour for the best visual results.
