PC Lightgun Question! What are the most popular PC lightguns? I'll potentially add support for them in the PC version of Super Sunny World 🌞, to simulate the NES Zapper gameplay found in the NES version. I'm totally out of the loop on PC light guns though. #nesdev www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSaJ...

Check this out! Amazing hand-painted pixel fan art, courtesy of @bammertime.bsky.social ! It looks perfect next to the Witch n' Wiz art he did for me a few years ago. #nesdev
I created this NES-style poster for the homebrew game Witch n' Wiz several years ago for @mhughson.bsky.social. It came with Limited Run's Collector's Edition (and I believe the Evercade release too). This ended up being my first “official” Hand-Drawn Game Guides piece.
Tomorrow is the last day the Handheld Heritage bundle is available! Link in Bio. It's amazing. They said it was impossible: They said it was impossible: 30 #Gameboy games for $29.99 https://itch.io/b/3637/handheld-heritage-bundle #indiegames #gameboy #nintendo

Not sure how I missed this, but there's a new Dragon Warrior/Quest-like game in the works for the NES! Check it out! They are looking for testers if you want an early look.

Slowly cranking away at the print materials for Super Sunny World 🌞, my upcoming NES platformer! #nesdev #screenshotsaturday
It's pretty mind-boggling (and a little terrifying) that even after nearly 3 years of playing this game everyday, Beta Testers are still finding significant bugs in Super Sunny World (my upcoming NES game). In this case, firing the zapper while entering a "pipe"... #nesdev
Currently doing a massive pass over the sound effects for Super Sunny World (my upcoming NES platformer). 🎧🎶 This includes a new jingle for when you find a Warp Zone... Is the inspiration too obvious...? 🤔 I don't care! 😁 #nesdev
It was my Birthday yesterday and my mom painted me this cool watercolor of "Witch n' Wiz" 🧙♀️ and "Super Sunny World" 🌞! How cool is that? #nesdev
The first PHYSICAL copies of my game #Bustina are up for sale now! Ships internationally! Big thanks to Rewinded Entertainment for publishing!! retrogametycoon.com/fi/catalogue... #indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro #nesmaker #6502asm

Could be a fun project for the @romhack.ing community?
Frank Cifaldi @frankcifaldi.bsky.social · 8mo agoCalling all 6502/NES programmers! We recently preserved and shared a source code snapshot of the lost Police Academy game! Which is great, except it's in a pretty bad state. I'm hoping there's enough to "revert" back to its trade show demo. Any interest in helping? www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/pgm4m...
Is this Kaizo? Super Sunny World🌞 will feature a HARD MODE that can be unlocked (like Super Mario Bros), so I get to imagine fun ways to make the game more difficult. 😈Here's a nefarious idea: 🔥Lava Balls don't reveal themselves until the player approaches them! #nesdev
🎉Wow! Just hit 10k followers on Twitter! I'm so thankful to be part of this enthusiastic and engaged community around the NES and Homebrew! I spent years making Indie Games without finding an audience, but that completely changed with #nesdev! Thank YOU so much!💖 #screenshotsaturday
Super fun game! It's got a great "pick up and play" style that is fun even for 5-10 minute bursts of play. Highly recommend.
Limited Run Games@limitedrungames.com · 9mo agoA game that made it's debut on the NES after nearly 40 years after its original release... Montezuma's Revenge is back and getting the LRG physical treatment with a striking orange NES cartridge! Available to preorder from Dec 2!
