Homebrew #MailCall!

Haunted Halloween '87 (NES) by @retrotainmentgames.bsky.social has arrived just in time for Halloween 🎃!

According to one of the devs:

"The hardware was done, and the artwork was 20% done, there was no programming. It was a 45 degree down angle view, with a maze of stone and walls and pits”.

I love how this is slowly becoming a full game! We now have the framework for simple quests! Here's an example where our hero goes out to fetch the Red Orb for this villager! #nesdev #jrpg #thebookofrynn

Could be a fun one to look at @displacedgamers.bsky.social

Wow man, congrats! The game looks wild!! Wishlisted for sure!

This game is super fun. Highly recommend it if you're looking for a quick, pick-up-n-play puzzle platformer. The ROM is included.

TIP: Press select on level intro to pick a level (there is no SAVE functionality)

Great video showing off the homebrew section of Gamescom 2025! Apparently, Witch n' Wiz for the Genesis was there and I didn't even know, haha!

These guys are always pushing the limits of #NESDev! Looks amazing!

And I'm told you can export a working NES ROM!

Looks great! Nice work!

Are there any NES games with visual effects, or hardware quirks, you'd like me to break down in detail next?

Drop a comment or screenshot below! Extra points if it’s something accessible without me spending hours in the game. 😉 #nesdev

I actually plan to have a kid mode as well, which will make the player super overpowered.

Check out this great new Retro PRINT magazine: Retronomicon Quarterly, by @readrq.bsky.social !

It's got a huge focus on homebrew games, so it's worth a look! #nesdev

No 16kb is the size of the program on the GG controlling the code input screen, I assume. I'm not actually sure how the codes are saved. Must be some RAM somewhere.

That's what I said!

I might have to power through it. I really did LOVE season one.

Season 1 was one of my all time favorites. The tone change for Season 2 killed it for me. Couldn't even get through it.

Just change "Official" to "Unofficial" and call it a day :)

I'm not sure how to do that, but if you feel like taking a crack at it, I'd be happy to host it!

Did you know you could technically run a game on the Game Genie itself? There's a #nesdev GAME JAM for just that!

Use the super limited built in graphics of the Game Genie, and fit into the 16KB of ROM space, and you're good to go!

The "upgrade" is that is higher resolution now!

PSA #nesdev:

@4mhzes.bsky.social has upgraded the "Official Homebrew Seal" image I released a while back and feature on my games.

Anyone is free to use it without credit. It's not "official" in any way. Talk to a lawyer if you are concerned about legality.👮‍♂️

Oh, are you talking about the *rappelling* sections? That's very different from parasailing 😅
