What happened to this project? I was very curious to see the results since NES on widescreen is a subject that interest me a lot. Macbee has made some demos using the full NES resolution, but made it so graphics optimized for widescreen, so it will look good on wide displays, but will appear stretch...

@Macbee, i want to make a Harvest Moon with combat options (like rune factory) or an endless dungeon crawler. There is this chinese bootleg of Harvest Moon for the NES. Which tools you use for the conversions? (blob and bad mr frosty). Thank you. Maybe these small, top view characters won't look ve...

Thanks! It's important to point that I don't know which kind of game NeoTorpor wants to make. If he's interested on a visual novel or a "game show" (like Hollywood squares or Jeopardy) *maybe* these graphics full of effects could be an interesting approach. And i did 2 more sprite conversions (this ...

I know you're a talented artist, Thanks! You're very talented as well. so I'd honestly love to see a mock-up! I think that claymotion can work if you design your characters thinking on NES limitations. If someone design characters first and then try to adapt them to Nintendo it may be a disaster. I...

It's perfectly possible and - if you have the skills - they can look very good on 8-bit NES.

This IMG2NAM program seems to be amazing!! Congratulations!
I downloaded it but have no idea on how to use. Can you please post a tutorial? Thanks!

I don't know if it's possible to use this on your project, but I like tepples' RGB121:

Comparing the ice blocks here to the ones with flicker on, you're actually getting some in-between colours already just from the horizontal halftone patterns VS the NTSC + TV signal degradation. Just food for thought. I don't think either version looks bad at all, but the no-flicker version is defi...

I think the patterns you used combined with interlacing degrade the image quality, unfortunately. Look especially at the ice tiles and how they have a bunch of stripes through them: lucky_penguin_flicker_interlaced.jpg Now I'm wondering if there's any emulator that offers a 480i interlacing output ...

Played through! I liked it. Very polished. :) Thank you! It's always good to read compliments - but it's 10 times better to read compliments from a talented artist like you. Here's some thoughts, if you're interested in opinions: Difficulty: I like that the difficulty shifts significantly with leve...

Thanks!

Demo was just released. We still have to fix a couple of things (like in-game texts position to avoid overscan). These remaining problems won't exist in final game.

Have fun!

Title screen was also fixed (left-old and right-new).
Thanks again for the tips regarding overscan!

It looks very nice from your screenshots! I've wanted to experiment with flicker this way too but haven't found the right opportunity to do so yet. Good luck with your project! Thanks! =) I tried some of your flicker ROMs from your blog. That 60hz flicker really bothers me, So make yourself a favor...

Hello! I'd like to announce a new NES homebrew project. It's a puzzle game called Lucky Penguin . http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/macbee/PN01_zps3ikw7q0b.png http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y191/macbee/PN04_zpsjddabbwm.png Lukasz Kur (from recent Oliver Twins NES releases) is the programmer a...

Love this game. I've finished it a gazillion times and I explored it so much that I found many of the "mystery items" by myself back in the early 90s. It's silly but until very recently I used to dream that I've found completely new secret stages on this game (these dreams finally stopped after read...
