🚀 The New 8-Bit All-Stars Bundle is now live! Honestly, I still can’t believe we managed to bring together so many incredible NES & Famicom homebrew developers and games in one bundle. I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together. 🎮 itch.io/b/3695/new-8-bit-all… And if you’d like to help support the developers, please consider sharing the bundle with your friends, followers, or fellow retro gaming fans. It really helps 🙏❤️☕️ #N8ABundle #NES #FAMICOM #homebrew #nesdev #indieNES #NESmaker #indiegames #gamedev #ファミコン #同人ゲーム

We haven't posted in a while. Triple Jump is very technical and less visual currently. But here's how the 512KB MMC1 Triple Jump ROM allocates its space. The circled areas are small islands of unused space that we're hoping to tap into. They add up to a whopping 2KB! #NESdev

Added some compression into the mix et voila! Banks $03 and $05 look way less cramped now, that SHOULD be enough space to carry us through the rest of development :) #NESdev

Turns out Saber Surfers is lacking challenge in the early game so we're reworking the game to favor groups of bullets and geometric patterns. #NESdev More in our latest Triple Jump Kickstarter update: kickstarter.com/projects/mor…

It's been 40 years since the NES was released in North America. And a whopping 50 years for the CPU which powered it: the MOS 6502. It launched at $25 in 1975, orders of magnitude cheaper than its competitors and became of the most successful microprocessors of all time #NESdev

Grunt work, but gotta get these things right. 🤖 Decoupling some moves from their states, making sure they work together gracefully. E.g. the drill (vertical dash) cocoon (deflects bullets back at the boss) #NESdev

When you finally catch a longstanding bug on an emulator recording. #NESdev 😭 Player is teleported to bottom screen edge and dies instantly when trying to use a gadget with up B. It happens VERY rarely. Thanks, @NicolasBetoux !

Finally getting to do some optimizations :) Improved the engine to handle twice as many objects without slowdown. #NESdev That's gonna come in handy for 4-player mode, which is especially taxing on the CPU...

We added another curse haunting the bottom screen edge in Triple Jump's bonus game. #NESdev He just wants to play. 🦈

Sorry for the lack of updates, we'd been locked out of Twitter. Triple Jump has come a long way #NESdev Bonus game now has 24 items, 8 curses and 50k lines of code (Micro Mages had 22k)🙈 Sorry for the delays, the game feels very solid now, but there is still some work left.
