On a quest to make the greatest RPG the NES has ever seen, one line of asm code at a time. Breaking the ~8 years of secret dev sometime in 2025!

Why aren’t gaming spheres a thing?

Anywhere else to get them besides in person? I don't think I'm going to make it to a MAGFest again for many years. I always enjoy your work and inventiveness.

I remember staring at that ad for months on end, wondering what it might be like, waiting for my 10th birthday to arrive. That was a great year!

Hopefully that's your own shop, and not someone knocking them off. It never takes long these days 😔.

It IS appreciated! Someone is constantly forgetting that I need white for text, hahahaha. #nesdev

Whoa, this is still happening!? I backed the project years ago on crowd funding, and haven't received an update since 2017. Good to know.

Crazy what a difference a few hours can make, then again friends ten minutes to the south got a foot more the first day. Gotta love lake effect snow!

What program did you draw them in? If custom made, any details or screen captures?

Mentally I’m here, inspired by all of the neat things the NES homebrew community has done over the years, like retroUSB’s power loom shown at PRGE awhile back. If you’re not knitting @khangames.com’s head, are you really Knitting with Power?

Almost exclusively. Still working through PS1 games I bought in the early 2000's, not to mention everything after. The one exception the last couple of years has been Dataman @olofn.bsky.social . Tore off the shrink wrap upon arrival and was playing as soon as I could!

Donut for the win! Unless you need to load graphics on the fly. I've had to run with two sets of routines and CHR data for my battle and exploration states, but it's still worth the savings.

I knew that was Scrobins before reading! The fascination he has with Tracy is legendary.

Your office always brings me joy… and makes me check my fire insurance coverage.

As punishment I cajoled him into building python scripts to export Tiled data in the same format as my editor 😂 .

I built my own map editor on the NES, which @miau6502.bsky.social helped me export with LUA, and then I'd copy/paste the dumps into the asm files. It was effective, but hard to see the whole world at once (built the Convention Quest with this method). @bitethechili.com turned me onto Tiled later.

I run light with my tool use (I think), so all of them!
OS: Windows XP
Emulator: FCEUX
Code: Notepad++, NESASM3
Graphics (mostly editing): Paint 2003, YY-CHR, Aseprite
Map building: Tiled
Other: XP Calculator
And of course, pen and paper!

That would take some digging, but I want to say 60-70, maybe less. Whatever I owed people (backers, testers, and friends), one for myself, and no more. I kept having to box everything up and move it to the next house, eventually continuing it once settled. Three states, four homes. Ugh!

I don't know if one of those has ever popped up for sale! I ran out of steam and didn't make the full 101 too. Cutting, folding, and building those boxes by hand, and getting everything to stick was way too much of a pain. Never again!

Almost twelve years later and I'm still learning new stuff thanks to you two!

Less than glamorous, yet very glamorous! No detail is too small.

Minus the bubbles, that more or less sounds like the Void Zone in Lizard by @rainwarrior.bsky.social !

One of my favorite mockups, saved in a handy folder that I look at often.

Thanks for thinking of us non-Steam users. Can’t wait to give it a try!

If you're not trying to finish within an eight hour day, what's it matter?

I absolutely love what you guys did with the borders. I've always wanted "more Micro Mages," and in a small way this hits that 😂 . Looks amazing!

Wooooo!!! Happy to see this one back in development!
