Enjoyed meeting folks at Illinois Game Con this past weekend. Thank you for stopping by!

I've never figured out how to do a NDS cartridge release.

But sometimes you have to get out and explore on foot...

That first on in particular looks really great. Thanks for the suggestion!

By "balance" do you mean be able to see the rotation better? or something else?

(Just interested in understanding the feedback as we continue to improve things)

Me too, Jordan, Me too.

I first had the idea for it in 2005....

A metroid/blaster master mashup is exactly what it is. :-) It's called Halcyon and has been in development for a number of years now, but it's been slow.

I'd be happy to get a demo to Kevin by then, a huge percentage of the game is playable already.

It's been awhile.....but things are moving....

I've spent way too many hours trying to come up with a good design for a dual-ended cart that supports NES on one end and Atari 2600 on the other.

I'd love to sell those for my Anguna or Robo-Ninja Climb games.

Code written with box characters used on old old software to make fake UIs

You’re still arguing about tabs vs. spaces? May I present…

That's ok. I've just seen so many games recently that start slowing down with 4 enemies on-screen, it's nice to see something with a little more oomph.

Scrolling plus lots of entities? Looks great to me.

Also, this is the first official teaser of what else I've been working on in #nesdev .

Oh my, what could those little black characters be for!?

The INLRetro is the best flasher

Shells are the easy part. Just look on eBay or ali express.

Cartridge boards can be trickier. It really depends on what mapper you're targeting, and if you want 1 or 2 for testing, or want a bulk order.

@brokestudio.bsky.social might be able to help you out. I can help you get a gtrom sample.
