Here are the first 7 minutes of gameplay from our first story: The Royal Seal. You'll see the intro, discover the castle of Dorlan and watch our hero, Torin, grind a couple of levels around the castle before setting off to the west. #nes #jrpg #retrogames #gamedev

The NES homebrew scene needs more RPGs, let's goooo
I'm on Twitch for a little bit, testing out the early game grind. Come slay Sillygoos and Burnabees around Dorlan Castle with me! #jrpg #nes #thebookofrynn #indiegames #gamedev www.twitch.tv/sebotron80
Happy Saturday! Here is the main area of Dorlan Castle in The Book of Rynn's first story: The Royal Seal. #screenshotsaturday #nes #jrpg #thebookofrynn #indiegames #retrogames
We now have a trailer! I've had a pit in my stomach this past week just thinking of everything that needs to happen, but I'm also so excited to finally have this out to everyone.
BioCreeps is an action arcade game for the NES coming very soon. #nes #nesdev #indiedev #biocreeps
The struggle to keep from sharing spoilers from our first story is real but I can share bits of our amazing soundtrack. Picture your 10 yo self having just opened that new epic RPG, sliding the cart in your NES and listening to that title music for the first time. #jrpg #nes #indiegames #chiptune
Please send over DM!
Corrected!
DM your portfolio please, I'll share details.
Do you have examples of landscapes maybe?
Share portfolio please, will discuss details over DM after. Thank you!
Specifically the box covers for Dragon Warrior 1 and 2 on the NES
Either is ok since it's going to have to be digitized to fit a box art template
Send me a DM please I'll share the deets
Feel free to send your portfolio!
Thank you! Style-wise I would say the covers for Dragon Warrior 1 and 2 on NES and old ttrpg books!
Started looking into finding an artist that can do 80s old school fantasy, ideally painting. We need kickass cover art! Suggestions?
Here is the intro to the first story of The Book of Rynn: The Royal Seal. Hyped? Join us on Discord! #thebookofrynn #nesdev #jrpg #nes #retrogames #8bit
Yep I use it to edit tiles and sprites, great tool! 😎
It was either that or typing each byte of a map by hand 🤣
How do you avoid newprojectitis? It's a struggle
yooooo
Workflow from title screen to starting a new story is in place! Next: insert a prologue and start implementing our first story: The Royal Seal! #jrpg #nes #nesdev #retrogames #gamedev
Hi! Still working on stories, maps, monsters and music with the help of some friends! Meanwhile, somebody smarter than me has shared a linker script that cranks up PRG space on MMC3 to 1 full megabyte. That's twice as much as Dragon Warrior 4 used! Buckle up... 😅 #nesdev #jrpg #retrogames
Learning the machine itself was the first real challenge because it shapes how you think about your game program but once you wrap your head around that, I would say it's no different than writing a game for any platform!
Started work on the title and game start menus. Mundane stuff but necessary! The first story is also slowly taking shape w/ new maps and new characters. Can't wait to share more! #nes #jrpg #thebookofrynn #indiegames #gamedev #retrogames
Bar a few bug fixes, the Book of Rynn is now feature complete. The road to the demo: story writing, maps, sprites, scripting, music, sfx and none of it will be revealed until it's ready so I may post less until then. Join us on Discord to try it first! #gamedev #jrpg #nes #retrogames #indiegames
the pain, i feel it
Our battle system is very close to complete. We *need* testers able to try any and all commands, spells, items and break the game so we can find and fix every single issue. If you love RPGs from the 8-bit era, we need your help! #jrpg #nes #gamedev #indiegames #retrogames #the-book-of-rynn
