Prototype N
A downloadable game for Windows
Latest Demo: v4.9.0 (Sept-06-2024)
STORY
Destructive robots are running rampant on Turquoise Island! Nadine, a prototype robot of unknown origin, fights to save her home and friends while searching for her creator.
GAMEPLAY
Prototype N is a side scrolling shooting platformer. Nadine, a prototype android, has a limited loadout of weapons. She must use them to get through many stages filled with tricky obstacles such as dangerous robotic foes, hazardous traps and more!
Nadine, equipped with her arm cannon, can shoot her way through the levels found in the game. While she is equipped with a little plasma shooter, there are several other weapons spread throughout the levels. Each have their own unique properties and interact with enemies and the environment in different ways. There are currently seven types of special weapons in this demo.
A major feature in the demo are Shields. The current demo only has 3 types of shields, Basic, Fire and Metal. Every shield protects you from up to two hits unless stated otherwise. Fire Shield protects you from fire projectiles from enemies and takes a hit from lava up to 4 times before wearing out. Metal Shield attracts items within a radius, it also protects you from spikes up to 4 times before wearing out.
Each level has several kind of collectables such as health pick ups, ammo refills, and Gems! Gems are this game's currency which you can use to buy Weapons and Shields in Shops found throughout the World Map.
Another collection are DataChips, which are permanent collectables. Each stage has 3 of them to find while boss levels will reward you with one upon destroying the boss. Most Datachips contains data about enemies, locations and weapons and are all viewable in the Data Base found in the Main Menu.
CHARACTERS
Nadine | Age: 23 The main protagonist of this game. She is a prototype android who does not know who built or and why. She sets off to an adventure when a robot army invades the island she resides in. |
Clara | Age: 25 The shopkeeper and Nadine's closest friend. She, along with her sister, found Nadine in an inactive state on one fateful day. She is responsible for selling items that helps Nadine on her adventure. Clara sees Nadine as more than a friend. |
Selena | Age: 21 The mechanic and Clara's younger sister. She played a vital role in restoring Nadine when they've found her. Her incredibly impressive knowledge on machines allows her to build weapons and shields, but they come at the cost of using the gems Nadine collects. She is a big fan of lesser known video games and even owns a plush of several characters from them. |

Thank you so much!! Glad you enjoyed it a lot and thank you for the video ^^
All in-game text is broken
Oh, weird. Did you extract the files out of the zip file?
yes
Hmm, I might have a faint idea of what may be going on... What is the full Directory of the game on your computer exactly, if it's okay to ask?
EDIT: Is continuing the discussion on Discord okay?
I think you're probably right, I moved it to an English-only directory and ran the game and the text is displayed normally.
Yeah, I think I need to find a way to solve this so people don't have to resort to doing that in the future. Thank you for confirming and enjoy the game!
megaman if it was good
it's peam
mega man if it wasn't copyright infringement
Not sure if you're implying my game is a straight 1:1 Mega Man clone or not. My game while inspired by Mega Man (and other games) does a lot of things differently to help set it apart. :/
oops, I might've made you mad after I made this I think
the game looks cool but i'm on a Chromebook so I cannot play it
It's alright I was just a bit miffed at the implications lol
I hope I can find a way to make the game playable for other OSes some day though
this gave me sonic vibes. and i love the art :D
Show post...
This is so cool... I love the art in the little cutscene bits. And the menus really take me back!
Hello une version linux (steam deck ) et t'elle prévu ?
Linux version sadly isn't planned due to the engine limitations. But the game does run very well on Steam Deck via proton.
People begging for mega man when we have Prototype N right here smh
I just want you to know this is the 100th comment on my game. NEW MILESTONEZ
it’s the best
This is so cool... I love the art in the little cutscene bits. And the menus really take me back! Very fun gameplay too.
This one looks really great
This game really reminds me of so many games I've played during my childhood all meshed together into one, I love it!
Played your demo and I really loved it!
Wish to see the complete game.
Nadine
As a Reward
Take The
Played the first level and I know I am sold. Gotta stop myself otherwise I may spoil myself for the complete version. I hope to hear more updates on a full release (also any other platforms planned?) and until then gonna keep myself in the dark. Incredible demo. Amazing work!
Thanks, it means a lot to hear that!!
There are no other platforms planned atm. If you're meaning consoles, I especially don't have any means to do that without doing something that costs a ton of money that's beyond my reach. I don't have much money myself and I've been making this game on my free time as a hobbyist project.
That said, I do plan to release the full game here as a paid game, with the demo still being freely available so people can try before buying. I haven't decided the price yet though...
I hope I can meet everyone's expectations when the full game is completed. It really means a lot to see so many people receptive of the demo! I'll keep working on it in full spirits. <3
Ah ok. Personally I prefer buying games on Steam or EGS on PC just because library management is better. That said, this game seems worthwhile enough to buy it on itch
Mega Man but a woman.
Mega Man with Super Mario Bros 3 stage select. It's looks fun. ^_^
The hit game Prototype N starring Nadine. c:
female mega man
its peam
A very addictive game, it is a very good game, congratulations to the creators of this great game, I want the creators of this game to subscribe to my channel please, greetings from Spain!!
this game better than mighty no9 🐧
is that a fan made or fan game of mega man?
It's its own thing inspired by Mega Man and many other games.
Professionally well made that's a great love letter to Megaman and Sonic! Great job overall and awesome to see other languages besides English being supported!
Absolutely excellently made! Beautiful art and soundtrack! Well done :)
The game is actually really nice to play. The game's inspirations are clear and make the game incredibly appealing to a gamer and retro game lover like me. Congratulations!
mega woman
I just finished the demo and it was super fun !! The level design felt really well thought-out, the pixel art is really nice, the music is good and I just sat in the sound test for a while to listen to it, and the characters are super endearing !!!
n
murder
drones
EDIT:great game!
huh?
murder drones is a web series and seeing prototype and N(a character's name from murder drones) it just reminded me btw watch murder drones on yubtub
Ohhhh that explains some things I saw when I search for my game sometimes lol

didn't expect you here

Why, I am a TV-Headed that likes sexy robot girls.

I WATCHED IT SINCE IT GOT RELEASED IN 2021!
=O
ONE OF MY FAVOURITE ITCHERS(?) WATCHES MY FAVORITE PIECE OF FICTION?!?!?!?!?!
Looks good
One thing: Tube TV filter is not good enough. The appearance given by the composite cables of the time (AV) is missing. The Tube TV filter alone makes no real difference. Look, for example, at CRT Royale compared to Royale-Ntsc, from Retroarch, when we talk about dithering and color blending....
Overall, the game has a lot of potential, and those involved seem to have a lot of care and know what they are doing. I had fun. Thanks!
I planned to give a better CRT filter but there's barely any other CRT shaders available for ClickTeam Fusion. So unfortunately this is the best I can use for now.
Thanks for the comment though!! I'll try to look into it again.
Fantastic. This is like a commercial release from the late 1990s with modern conveniences -- pure nostalgia with some new twists. Hoping also to see more gay content and the trans character being added in! Classic and fun.
Yess! Selena is honestly my favorite character, you will see her appearing in the upcoming demo next week.
I can hear Capcom from here, calling you to join them, impressive work right there!! keep the good work going and good luck making the rest of the worlds!!!
Thank you so much!! I'll keep doing everyone proud!
Finally got around to playing the demo. Really fun and I hope you keep working at it!
Thank you!!!
pretty fun
Es mega man chica
akchually seria woman man
eso suena incluso peo
Wow, this demo has a lot of charm. I had a lot of fun!
