Jim Power : The Lost Dimension (Homebrew) NES - Walkthrough

Jim Power is a shoot'em up game similar to Mega Man, Turrican, Contra and the like. There is a bit of a split story of the game, as two different versions were made that share the same enemies, bosses, level designs, and soundtrack. In Jim Power Mutant Planet, Jim Power is sort of John MClane type detective, which is called in to rescue the president's daughter who has been captured by an evil monster and taken to Mutant Planet. In Jim Power in Lost Dimension, which portrays Jim Power as an Intergalactic Soldier, Jim travels to a 5th dimension to stop an evil monster called Vaprak from invading and destroying earth. The Game Soundtrack features rocking music composed by Chris Huelsbeck (Turrican, Gemx, Apidya, Tunnel V1)
Back Story of the Project:
In 2014 we decided to acquire the license of the Amiga classic game Jim Power to develop a version of the game for NES.
When we finalized the licensing agreement, the original programmers sent us a batch of files and assets of the game. To our surprise, in those folders, we found a fully playable Sega Genesis version of Jim Power In the Lost Dimension.
We started development for NES version right away. We developed tools, engine, and assets from scratch. We planned to release the project in 2016. Unfortunately in 2016, as we started emailing the original creator about the progress of the game for approval, we stopped hearing back from him. We waited for responses for over a year, so we kept delaying the release.
Unfortunately, in 2018, we found out that the original creator of Jim Power had passed away in 2016. This complicated things for the project, as we needed certain permissions for what we wanted to do with the game release. We then started working with the original creator's partner and his estate to fully acquire the rights of Jim Power IP.
Around September 2019, we acquired full rights of Jim Power intellectual properties, which would allow us to work with the property as we wanted and release the game without complications.
Jim Power NES was built from scratch by popular NES programmer Shiru. He developed level design tools, as well as graphics conversion tools. He also developed the game engine from scratch. Jim Power NES was NOT made by any sort of game maker program; so the quality of the product is far superior. With this port, we'd like to reach a much higher bar quality as far as NES game releases.
Our acquisition of the Jim Power IP now allows us to produce other kind of projects/media with the character and story. The Stretch Goals list will reflect what sort of other projects we'd like to envision for Jim Power!
