I got my idea from these card building game I've bought recently called Netrunner. In this game there's two sides a corporation and the runner. The runner needs to run through the corporation remote servers to get agendas. But these agendas are protected by Ice (firewalls), as the runner you need to use software and programs to get past the ice to get to your goal.
The game i plan to make takes place in a cyberpunk world. Where hackers need to enter the digital world and hack there way through firewalls and barriers to reach the main Head Quarters, to retrieve important data. The user plays as the hacker going through this remote server, and will encounter different events that will prevent them from moving forward. Example of one of the events i plan to implement. Your presented with a DOS like screen with text and you need to press as many keys as possible before the time runs out. As you press these keys, lines of code appears on screen creating this feeling of actually hacking.
Concept Work:
World Map 100x100:
World Map 240x240:
I've never made a 8 bit game before so i'm not to sure what resolution to build my images at. But I got a feeling i'll stick with the basic 240x180. The idea is you would start at the bottom of the map and work your way through this small barriers/firewalls to get to the HQ. In each of there barriers there will be a different event you would have to complete to get past it.
Here is a game i found recently that has this cool idea of how it would feel to hack through systems by typing in commands and sending viruses to IP's.
