One of those annoying things, back in the day, was the “up and coming” / “games to be released” section in the gaming magazines... Then finding out, some of them never made it to the public and the one that did were sometimes drastically altered/changed.
This is so cool. Jewel Master is already such an interesting game. Now to find out the prototype differed dramatically - levelling (I think?), narrative text, almost no shared sprites and altered visual style. I actually think this game is much more appealing to look at… I’ve always found Jewel Master’s graphics a bit uncanny, although that’s kind of why I like it. I think they must have had to scale down the sprites for the change of platform because a lot of these are huge. Also, it seems that the kickass music was finished very early in development unless you added that in.
@@Kemnekluglenbrigstert Thank you! Yes it feels like a completely different game and yes I added the music back in as this prototype didn’t have any. I think there were a few more levels made for it but not included in this prototype.
This is very cool I didn’t know anything about this at all in my opinion I think this looks better than Jewel Masters I like the look of the character I think someone should rom hack or even try to add things making it different power ups / add ons if I knew how to I would try to do all sorts of things any way thank you for sharing this video 👍
