I've been putting it off for a while now, but it's about time I implement that password save system for Even Goblins Fall In Love. #indienes #nesdev #jrpg #gamedev #nes

I finally got around to integrating the new boss music into Even Goblins Fall In Love. Sure, it costs 1,413 bytes, but it's soooo worth it. @fortexp.itch.io 😊😊😊😊

Added a new item to Even Goblins Fall In Love that will allow your next attack to apply twice as many stacks of status effects. Double the poison, double the pain! #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro #screenshotsaturday

Looks like I can save 469 (nice!) bytes by excluding PAL support (from Famitone code and nsf2data parameters). Downside: I need to make a separate PAL-version ROM. Upside: 469 bytes is enough space to add several new enemy types. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Oh hey! Just found an easy 110 byte codesize win by excluding Channel 5 (DPCM) in my music conversion script. Yeah, I'm back on a size optimization kick as I try to stuff as much JRPG as possible into a CNROM board NES game. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

While I was in Tokyo, I did an impromptu talk for @tokyoindies.com. Great group and cool venue! Presenting from a DJ booth is definitely a vibe. I'll be posting a video of an English version of the talk sometime in the near future. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

It's been about a decade since I've been to a Tokyo Indies event. Since I'll be in town, I think I'll pop over and say "Hi!" Maybe I'll even demo my in-development NES JRPG.

I'm working on making sure that field items in my indie NES JRPG, Even Goblins Fall In Love, also have some use in battle. For example, the keys used to unlock enchanted doors can also instantly defeat Mimics by locking them shut. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

When you have intrusive #gamedev thoughts, what do they say? Mine suggested I make a game for the Nokia N-Gage.

Why shouldn't I throw out my project's third-party engine and just code my own on top of SDL?

I wrote this line of NPC dialogue and I instantly have a new character I love to hate. This anonymous goober in front of the castle is now officially the worst. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Is it cliche to have a Mimic in a fantasy RPG? Yes. Is it cool and fun, anyway? Absolutely. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Have you ever been there when a videogame character got his face, his look? Unveiling today the game cover of my upcoming game Anna: The Magic of Words (NES). Working on it for almost three years and I'm a bit emotional right now. #NES #FAMICOM #indienes #homebrew #nesdev #indiegames #gamedev

Repost if your profile is LGBTQIA+ safe 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ I identify as bi/queer. I was a teen when I realized I was bi/queer. I recently ended up meeting a girl at a social event IRL who is open about her trans identity. We text everyday and we vibe when it comes to humor, interests, etc.

At the moment, it costs about 100 bytes to add a new enemy to Even Goblins Fall In Love. About 80% of that is metasprite data. Time to put on the old code-size optimization gloves again. #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro
