I added a really satisfying screen shake when Murti gets hit, tweaked the flashing timer, and fixed the coinage.

Have you ever seen an NES game render 200+ colors on screen?
I'm SLOWLY working on the rest of CrossPaint's 16 sample images. This one shows all color emphasis combos + monochrome mode on sprites and BG.
Color emphasis on every line is pretty cool :)

We’re cooking up a new game for Byte-Off, and the plan is for this to be the next big project.
Welcome back to Orebody. Welcome to Drakenmaid.
#nesdev #indiegames #screenshotsaturday #neshomebrew #indiegamedev
Here's the latest news for Murtop on the NES 📰📢
Added:
- Screen transition (subtle, but it's there!)
- Sprites for the points.
- Invincibility timer.
- Flashing background when hit.

I had to remove some of the bomb's sprites, but I think it looks cool in black.

Turns out grouping variables by type can save memory on the NES 🤯
unsigned char lala;
unsigned char lele;
unsigned int lili;
unsigned int lolo;
After doing this (and a lot of other tweaks), I went from ~1KB to ~3KB free! 🥳

2) Those who bring in the most eyeballs will get tailor-made art depicting Allison, Margarita or both doing WHATEVER you can think up! (In good taste.)

Here are stages 0, 16, 32, and 48*:
0 - Base
16 - Flip H
32 - Flip V
48 - Flip H+V
* I add +1 to the stage index for display purposes

The lookup table is gone! We just saved 32 bytes 🎉
Since every element is the same size, I can calculate the address directly.
Thanks to @saffroncr.bsky.social for pointing it out :)
Here's how I do it 👇

Here's how I fit 256 unique stages into just 224 bytes in the NES version of Murtop. I'm so low on memory that I had to pack everything as tightly as possible. Any tips on how to improve it are welcome 🙂
Let's start a thread 🧵👇

#selfpromosaturday seems like a good time to mention my Kickstarter. Not yet two weeks old and already over halfway to its goal -- but still needs your support to make it the rest of the way!

Aquest és el màxim de sprites (64) que hi caben en una pantalla de la NES. Queda prou bé, oi? :)

Sabeu què? Porto més de mig any amb el port de Murtop per a la NES sense utilitzar Git ni cap altra tipus de còpia de seguretat 😅 🐶🔥
#NESdev #NEShomebrew #ファミコン #gamedev
El meu plantejament amb el port de Murtop per a la NES és intentar tenir el mateix contingut que el joc original i després anar reduint funcionalitats perquè càpiga dins dels 32 KB. Està sent realment complicat 🥲

Em sembla que les roques ja son prou aleatories. I de moment ja fem amb una sola roca. No ens emocionem, que després vénen els problemes de memòria :P
#NESdev #NEShomebrew #ファミコン #gamedev
He començat a treballar en els blocs de roca que cauen del cel i creen camins aleatoris. També he aprofitat per crear una animació simple de l'"Star-Nosed".
