In our NES Zapper game, Gunhawk, players used to only be able to fire when their weapon was fully charged. It didn't take long for me to switch to the current version where players have the option to fire with or without a fully charged weapon. Naturally, the weapon does significantly more damage when fully charged.

Question: Would you read a Tumblr blog or should I stick with WordPress etc? (Tumblr's just so easy!)

Toying with the idea of bringing back my retro Indie game highlight blog. The urge to write about my peers is back! But quick question... 1/2

One of the overlooked aspects of physical NES development that I think is great is that more advanced games actually tend to weigh more than less advanced games (typically due to having bigger, more complicated, circuit boards and larger manuals.)
There's something poetic about bigger games actually being heavier when you hold them in your hands.

The Steam version of Fire And Rescue will have multiple border types (including full-screen mode and a gameplay stats window) you can use when playing the game.

After some delays and derailments, the Steam version of Fire And Rescue is back in development and should become available some time soon (-ish)

I still think one of the best compliments I've gotten for my physical NES releases is having (not just one person) tell me that my games smell authentic. That opening the boxes actually brought back childhood Xmas memories.

I fixed a sequence break in Even Goblins Fall In Love by moving one of the shopkeepers from this town to a different town.

The main combat mechanic of Even Goblins Fall In Love, our indie NES JRPG, is applying doses of status effects on enemies.
The final dose type, BLAST, explodes all applied doses for direct damage.

It may not look like it, but this treasure chest caused a bad bug at the end of the game. It's fixed now.
I won't show the bug here right now though because *spoilers*.

With the limited space of a 64 KB ROM, find ways to reuse assets and mix palettes is a vital skills for adding visual variety to the dungeons of Even Goblins Fall In Love, our indie NES JRPG.

Finished fixing bugs from the last QA run of Even Goblins Fall In Love, our indie NES JRPG.
Now it's time for another round of parameter tuning followed by another QA run.

This creature implements a lot of sequence break protection for Even Goblins Fall In Love, our indie NES JRPG.
It varies it's behavior based on the player having certain key pieces of equipment.

Each gear slot has 4 options. The player gets the first gear option in each slot by default, so we can ignore those when generating passwords only have to save 3 bits of data per gear slot.
Retro #gamedev can be such a rush.

The end of a game's dev cycle produces some of the most interesting bugs.
I just fixed a bug where the last piece of equipment in each gear category for Even Goblins would disappear after loading from a password save.#indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Recently finished a complete playthrough of the latest version of Even Goblins (all the way from beginning to end) and I have a slew of tweaks and bugfixes on my task list now.

The Double Dose Potion is one of the stronger items in Even Goblins Fall In Love. It doubles the dose of applied status effects for the next attack Lin makes.
In this case, Lin applies SHOCK to an enemy and the enemy remains affected by SHOCK despite recovering from one of the applied doses.

I've reached the point where I am writing a draft version of the manual for Even Goblins Fall In Love.
It makes sense when you think about it, but the manual for a game itself is an important part of the QA process.

Just experimented with running Even Goblins Fall In Love in our in-development app shell for Steam.
If this works out, I might be able to launch Even Goblins simultaneously as a ROM on itch and on Steam.
Cross fingers for me and wish me luck!

Our indie NES JRPG, Even Goblins Fall In Love, is getting a little guest cameo from the protagonist of Nekomancer of Nowhere!

If you can't afford to stay at an inn, you can always go back to your mother's house to rest and save your game.
This is not, not a commentary on life and our modern economy.
