Greetings everyone, Well I tried to get everything ready for today but there are too many things that just came up along the way that made it hard to succeed. I'm burned, unsatisfied and I need to clear my mind. This is the last update for a while as I am taking a break from this never ending ordeal. Besides starting a full time job soon my main focus will be put on my kids and selling my video game collection. I will eventually get back at it part time, and try to bring closure to this project. Until then there's something there to play but it's unrefined and unfinished. Time will provide me with the answers. Nick said it would be a good idea to share what i have learned with all of you but honestly I don't really have anything to say at this point. I will take some time off to reflect on the experience and share with you the whole story down the road. I have to thank everybody that help me so much all this time and especially Nick (@Avejoe) for sticking around even when i couldn't pay him to help me with finding and fixing bugs and the forum. Without him i think I would have come to this point much sooner and there's a big hole in my office wall to remind me of that everyday. The new update is there on Steam. That's it for me, for now. I wish you guys the best, Mo

RUN. FLY. EXPLORE

A.N.N.E is an exploration game blending fast paced platformer and flying (shmup) gameplay mechanics. A.N.N.E’s style is inspired by 8-bit and 16-bit era games; an anthology in pixels that will take you back to the early days of video games using modern technologies and a refined yet simple visual style. A handcrafted retro adventure on an epic scale.


Story.

In this world, robots live amongst humans. They are programmed to serve and follow strict laws…One of these laws states that robots infected with the love virus must be decommissioned. To prevent further spread of the virus they are disposed of on planet Gomi, a remote frozen world, where they are dismantled by the Federation guards, powerful robots that will let nothing stand in their way.

After chasing them for many years you are finally within striking distance of the Federation space fleet. A violent asteroid shower and an threatens the federation fleet. This might just be the perfect time for a rescue attempt...

Your mission is simple: retrieve A.N.N.E and escape.
