Back in 2001 I started my attempt at cloning the Sega Master System game, Golvellius, over to the TI-86. Two demo versions were released, but ultimately I was unsuccessful, due to the approximate 10K executable code limit on the TI-86. As well as featuring top-down overworld much like older Zelda games, the dungeons also vary between horizontal scrolling platform style and vertical scrolling dodge/stab-'em style, along with 8 bosses.

After that I made two further attempts at completing a TI-86 RPG in the vein of Golvellius by stripping back to a standard top-down RPG, which eventually resulted in Banchor being released in 2006.

However, the TI-84+CE is the perfect TI platform for Golvellius, and so I've started working on it. You can watch a longplay of the original SMS game here. Below is the start of a single map screen with the hero, Kelesis, walking around and stabbing with his sword.



The full game will comprise of 182 maps in the overworld, 9 dungeons, 8 bosses, approximately 25 enemies, sword/shield/defense upgrades, life potions and lots of gold collecting!

ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO maps?! Dang!

This will be amazing, if you keep it up!

What language is this written in? It sounds (and looks) awesome!

You're rocking But please don't go too hard, we want to make games as well
Great work!

It's in Assembly. I haven't tried any C on the 84+CE yet, although lots of good stuff has been done with it, so I'll have to try it at some point!

This looks amazing!

A few different tiles have been added in (including a solid tile), and I've started on scrolling between maps, as well as adding a fade out/fade in routine which will be used to transition into dungeons, etc.

That's looking awesome, JamesV.

Haha, I like it scrolls between maps! Fantastic work so far; you sure are cranking out these games

Dat fade out and in, very nice .

I haven't had a lot of time this week, but I've finished off map scrolling in all 4 directions and started on enemy basics (no collisions yet).

Looking awesome man! Running super fast at the moment.

Mateo would love it!

Looks really great though, and the speed is good enough for such a game

Thanks! On real hardware it can only handle a few enemies before the frame starts to lag to the next interrupt on the VRAM flip. But hopefully there's a bit more speed optimisation I can squeeze out of my tile & sprite routines.

There are many people/creatures that Kelesis will encounter on his adventure (located in caves underground), including a fairy named Rio. She can give useful information, but sometimes isn't much help at all

I know it's a bit late, but this is looking beautiful. And it runs super fast. I love the transition between maps and also when going into the cave.

Nice! When will it come out?

I love these graphics!!! Ill be sure to play this game once it is complete.

Thanks! I wish I could take credit for the graphics but... they're taken straight from the original SMS game

I'm not sure when this will come out, I haven't worked on it in ages. Work has been dominating my life again for the last couple of months. When I get some calc programming time, my first priority will be Alien Breed, and then I'll be spending time on other projects such as this and Zargul (the Banchor sequel).

The graphics are absolutely amazing! (Even if you took them from the original). It'd be cool if you could do this along with alien breed, but, it's up to you. Both, i mean all three are so cool!

You should not have reminded me of this .

I hope you find time this year (hopefully not another year of lockdowns though) to finish this!
