black screen

black screen is a space trading game inspired by GTA: Chinatown Wars, Elite, and Asteroids, which I'm currently developing for the Dreamcast (and later PC if it's any good!)

While the final version will have a full story, upgrades, enemies, and a more alive world, that's maybe 3 or 4 months away.

I don't really like working on things for a long time without getting to show them off anymore, so I will be putting out regular development snapshots so you can follow along with my progress (and I'd really really appreciate any feedback so that I can tweak things as needed too!)

In version 0.1, you can explore the world, buy and sell goods between traders, and destroy asteroids and trade ships.
Version 0.2 is here! Adding upgrades, saving, health, and asteroid item drops.

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).

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.
