  11. 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.

  16. 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.

    #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

  17. 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.

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

  19. 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.

  20. 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*.

    #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

  21. 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.

  22. Yet another bunch of the creatures you will encounter in Even Goblins Fall In Love, an upcoming indie JRPG for the NES.

    #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

  23. 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.

  24. 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.

    #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro #screenshotsaturday

  25. 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.

  26. 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.

  27. More of the creatures you will encounter in Even Goblins Fall In Love, an upcoming indie JRPG for the NES.

  28. This is a sampling of some of the creatures you will encounter in Even Goblins Fall In Love, an upcoming indie JRPG for the NES.

  29. 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.

    #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

  30. 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.
