Orebody: Binder's Tale made the top 10! Thanks, David Buck! 8 Bits & Still Brewin’: As the NES nears the 40th anniversary of its U.S. release, the homebrew scene around it is still putting out some killer games. tedium.co/2025/04/24/h...

Perhaps it's a silly concept to some, but art is a responsibility. Yes, even when making niche 8-bit throwback games. The choices we make reflect our values, dreams, fears, and ideological perspective. What do you want for the world?

All hail the king on his 70th anniversary. #goji #godzilla #kaiju #megakaijuboomball www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZHs...

We love us some kaiju. :)

A preview of the physical manual for Crater Song for the NES. Shipping (hopefully) this summer. #nesdev #neshomebrew #gamedev #indiegamedev

Our publishing partner recently provided an update on Crater Song physical edition preorders. Bottom line: new tariffs from the Trump Administration are delaying shipping. Options are being discussed. This is very frustrating & I'm sorry for the wait. #nesdev #neshomebrew #gamedev #indiegamedev

Just for the record, and because I'm seeing this stuff circulating on social media from other devs, we condemn the reproduction of racist, sexist, homophobic, or transphobic imagery or ideologies in the NESdev space. I don't want to start shit, but I will never like or promote it. Do better.

Oratorio is a rhythm action rail-shooter that takes place in a dystopian cyberpunk future. As the enigmatic eco-hacker named Oratorio, players are the last hope for revival in a world run by evil mega corporations. And it works with the NES Zapper on CRTs! #indiegames #indiegamedev #nesdev

If you develop games for old consoles like the NES or Game Boy and are looking to print your boxes and materials, look no further than Frank W. Orebody Inc. has used Frank for Orebody: Binder's Tale, Oratorio, and the soon-to-release Crater Song. #nesdev #indiegames #retrogames boxguyfrank.com
