I'm excited to get to show off Halcyon at Magfest this year! Come check it out!

Here's the functioning inn system. Scribes can also save games now but I'm not done with them as they also need to revive and remove poison. I got a linker surprise this morning and had to move all string literals to their own dedicated bank. 😅 #nesdev #indiegames #gamedev #jrpg

Janus is still alive! Really looking forward to this one someday.

Spent the week working on polishing up the water/swimming area of my work-in-progress NES adventure game Halcyon. #nesdev

Hey y'all! ROMs of my NES homebrew games are on sale on itch until the end of the month. Get them all for less than $5 and help fund new projects, including our NES JRPG, Even Goblins Fall In Love. itch.io/s/158466/sky... #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Working on the Frozen Caves area in my upcoming NES adventure game Halcyon. My theory is that it wouldn't be proper to have a retro action-adventure without separate Ice and Lava areas. #NESDev

Orange Island #nesdev updated: getting 32 things to fly around a scene is one thing; making them interact correctly as entities is another. Finally feeling comfy to really start coding all object behaviors. About half done with everything in this first scene!

Happy Halloween! Check out this whimsical video we dug up from our 8-bit labs. We wanted to showcase it as the Kickstarter for our new NES game Haunted: Halloween '87 (Year of the Witch) comes to a close tonight at the stroke of midnight! youtu.be/cDA_5zO8JcQ

What got you into #gamedev? My parents bought me a TI-99 computer when I was six or seven, with a book called "beginners basic". I was hooked on trying to make a game. My first games were terrible unplayable attempts at text adventures. But I knew one day I'd make NES and Atari games. #nesdev

Fred Rodgers on the importance of making something even if other people don't think it's good had me crying this morning. Passing it along for anyone else that might need it.

Jeez. It's called Game 'Developer' - not Game 'Releaser'. Get off my back already. #gamedev

Holy Moley, Speedrunners are incredible. Well done TheSacredOils. www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6zg...

Hi Bluesky, meet my game. Courier is a cyberpunk adventure game originally designed for the NES. Upgrade your gear by taking on jobs from seedy employers and hack your way through the world to get all the info you need to take on the evil Ankh Industries and save the city. #nesdev #gamedev #Indie

Just showing off some early screenshots of Haunted: Halloween '87 (Year of the Witch), our new game that is live on Kickstarter! Back it Here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/122...

Just a reminder that I went and reprogrammed the NES version of Courier from scratch to run on modern platforms. In the process I got to add a lot of cool modern features like lighting effects, achievements, optional modern soundtrack, etc. Would mean a lot if you could wishlist it. Launching soon!

Also, for anyone interested in #nesdev or homebrew, @wendel.scardua.net made this awesome NESDev feed that you can add, and have a feed that's limited to NES homebrew topics: bsky.app/profile/did:...

In hindsight I don't think I'd ever suggest anyone write their first platforming engine in 6502 assembly, but on the other hand... Orange Island has working ladders now (not that I can really show anything working because bsky can't afford video support) #nesdev

Still soul crushingly grim to me that the people who invented large language models’ first thought wasn’t “we can use this to get people to do less grueling paperwork” or “we can effectively automate taxes” but instead “finally, something that will crush, dehumanize and factory farm all art.”

First proto cartridge shots by @dvertov.bsky.social Kickstarter launching Soon! Homebrew Ninja Gaiden/Batman -like
