Coming soon: a new podcast featuring conversations with homebrew game developers, talking about their latest games for your oldest consoles

I’ve had such a wonderful experience working on the story for Orange Island, that I’ve joined another dev team: Delayed Again, and their game The Viking & The Ninja, helping with PR and other polish! Check out this tidbit of gameplay to whet your appetite! media4.giphy.com/media/X8ZwM7...

Bar a few bug fixes, the Book of Rynn is now feature complete. The road to the demo: story writing, maps, sprites, scripting, music, sfx and none of it will be revealed until it's ready so I may post less until then. Join us on Discord to try it first! #gamedev #jrpg #nes #retrogames #indiegames

An incredible game draws near, join in the fun!

Recently got my hands on the homebrew calendar from @scrobins.bsky.social and it’s so cool to see all the games in it! A certain sheep may also be featured! (Yes it’s an e-reader game, but there’s a NES game under the hood. It counts!)
