Re: Untitled space bird platformer

We decided to throw in a second bird for (optional) 2-player co-op. bird2.gif There's a slightly longer video here . The time constraints are really scary. We'll have to wrap this up asap, hopefully getting to do some light polishing and bug fixing. If it shows promise to be a worthy spiritual succe...

Re: Böbl

We just released version 1.1! Apart from bug fixes, we revamped the level design in some places, making some of the beginning challenges fairer and hopefully making it less likely for the player to get lost.

Check the first post for the download link.

Re: Böbl

Ahh, I missed that one looking at the map because of the colors.

This was one of the spots I had qualms about during development, but it was hard to convince Nicolas to change it. Now I can show him your post and shout "TOLD YOU!" like a big babby. 8-) Moohaha. Thanks!

Re: Böbl

Thanks for the kind words, everyone! I have one piece of feedback about the level layout: I spent a lot of time going in circles between the "deep" and the "iron" upgrades. That's because: 1) I didn't notice the waterfall at the bottom of the screen, under some still water. I thi...

Re: Nalleland

Fun game! Animations have always been one of my favorite things about sprite work and making them good is all about timing rather than simply throwing large amounts of frames at it. This game does it right. The long "air time" of the main character's walking animation makes it seem like he...

Re: Untitled bubble game

Back on it after a little hiatus with real life catching up to Nicolas. Nicolas has been adding new tilesets and finished laying out the map. tilesets-1x.png photo_2020-02-14 (2)-s.jpg In the meantime, I felt like trying something new. Spent way too much time on it, of course. wavephysics2-opt.gif T...

Re: Sam's Journey · A new NES game in the making

The gray stones in the desert level are somehow my favorite. They convey that C64 charm perfectly... on the NES. Interesting you say that... Are gray stones somehow a C64 trait? ;) Nope, but the bold and beautiful combination of the pink and yellow hues and the dithering with the horizontal stripes...

Even the fast arps in the soundtrack are tastefully placed. You guys obviously know what you're doing.

Re: Untitled bubble game

Close enough :-) When brainstorming for ideas, I remembered Within a Deep Forest, a really fun platformer that's well over a decade old by now. Then Nicolas mentioned the Famicom homebrew Mr Splash, which sparked a flurry of ideas. Going to post more details once we have sprite animations and more r...

Do you still call it a platformer if you can only move in water? Project started last week. Graphics by Nicolas Bétoux. Hope we can make it for the deadline! More info will follow soon. EDIT: Here we go! Compo version ROM attached. böbl.png If you encounter any glitched screens, better make a U-turn...

Re: Micro Mages (ROM released!)

Sorry for the very late response. So it does support the Hori adapter after all? Wit's seems to use OR-ing with D0 and D1 to duplicate the first port pair with the built-in controllers and uses the second port pair for player 3 and 4, but you instead duplicates them in the second port pair? That sou...
