Hacker International eventually used their know-how of Nintendo's hardware, to make hentai games. So, I approve.

Look on the bright side-- if people from China are offended by your game, it might just become the first homebrew game to avoid being put on bootleg cartridges!

I was going to do the whole thing, but I forgot how much I loathe drawing. As you can see, I didn't get very far, lol. squirel.gif I was experimenting if that animation could be transformed to look more like something you'd find on the SNES. It's just too adorable, and that's not a word I use light...

Very cute little game! If I may offer some artistic criticism, I'm not a big fan of the featureless (for the most part) player sprite. Might I suggest a common predator, like a cat, or some kind of canine? I grew up on a farm, and our animals were always bringing us the moles that they managed to ca...

This kinda reminds me when I tried quadtree compression of the individual bitplanes . The results weren't particularly impressive, but it didn't try to reuse common patterns. I coded bitplane-based compression for a client last year, and the result of my "PornoMAG" compressor was rather impressive!...

Ooh! This is very cool! I was working on a roguelike of my own, a couple of months ago, but lost all the code to a hard drive failure (3 days after a weekly backup). I still have all the art, though: tower_of_algol.png This game was a bit more action-based, taking inspiration from The Tower of Druag...

Not really, no.

A good example of this is "Trigun" which was a commercial failure in Japan, but really took off in the West. Such a thing is nearly unheard of!

Precisely. My own assembler requires labels to be prefixed with an asterisk (*) for example.

Code: Select all

But the 8-bit version of Scrap Brain Zone on the Master System ? That sounds cool as hell and makes me want to kick some real Badnik ass! I don't give a shit if it's technically inferior. Yeah, Yuzo Koshiro is an amazing composer! What good is the superior hardware, if nobody's using it? Most of th...

Is it just another homebrew, or a mediocre Flash game, that anybody can play for free?

I've come to the conclusion that most homebrew games are low-effort garbage.

Very nice work! Are you familiar with Hydlide 3 (Super Hydlide) by any chance? If not, I'd suggest taking a look at it.

I'm posting a screenshot of the PC-88 version, because every single console version, butchered the gorgeous tilework, on this church.

Anyways, I'd wait until we make a proper release of the engine we are preparing (called AGNES) - The code base and example games are already finished, I'm just writing some docs and designing a tutorial. Thanks for your interest :) Nice! I've been working on an Assembly-based tutorial for the last ...

Preview of the NES version seems to a port of the SNES version?? http://www.indieretronews.com/2018/04/sydney-hunter-and-caverns-of-death-in.html#more It's goes deeper than that, all versions of Sydney Hunter: Caverns of Death, are ports of an old Flash game from 2011: http://studiopinagames.com/sy...

This was drawn in "Spectrum Mode", so I'm willing to say that the C64 is superior. Two colors per tile.
