A Mimic is a classic staple of fantasy games. You open up a chest expecting to find gold coins and instead encounter malevolent eyes and a horrid, grasping tongue.

In Even Goblins Fall In Love, if you need a rest and can't afford an inn, you can always go back to your mother's home to rest.

It took a bit of refactoring, but now a player can change frame styles without restarting the NES game being emulated. Totally worth the effort!

What happens when a Haniwa commits to a exercise routine and puts in the work? You get the Gigahan, one of the enemies you will encounter in Even Goblins Fall In Love.

Shout-out to the person at last week's IGDA DC event who noticed that I had used "researches" instead of "researchers" in one of Even Goblins Fall In Love's NPC lines.
That typo had escaped notice for quite a while.

I had a good time at IGDA DC's Play At The Library event last Saturday. Super tiny event made it easy to catch up with some #gamedev friends and have expose new folks to #indieRetro NES (i.e. NES Homebrew) development.
Totally worth lugging a CRT through the DC Metro.

When working on an emulator container, getting the game up and running ends up being one of the first tasks you tackle. After that, it's the surprisingly labor-intensive act of implementing all the bits we take for granted, like an Options menu.

Crossing a bridge towards the final castle while carrying the requisite Macguffin sword will spark a boss battle that will open up a path to the end of the game.

I've been pretty quiet about this, but I recently restarted my emulator container project that will allow me to release my NES games on Steam, consoles, etc.
Decided to build on SDL3 since modern game engines have too much overhead for me.

It took a lot of work and a bit of trickery to get this image into the game, but it was totally worth it.

My game production super power is having a compiler that literally stops working if I try to add too many features to my game.
Build output for Even Goblins Fall In Love that tells me I have ~958 bytes of space left in PRG ROM.

Welcome to Adalwood, a forest town in Even Goblins Fall In Love.

I have an initial implementation of decoding an additional compression layer for my world map data in Even Goblins Fall In Love. It saves me ~600 bytes of code size, but it decodes way slower than the less compressed version.

Dumpstar is an enemy based of a bugged-out enemy that showed up during testing at an expo.
The kit-bashed graphics from the bug looked so cool it's now a real creature in the game.

Pixel art layout for current world map for Even Goblins Fall In Love, an 8-bit NES JRPG
Okay, I think I've got a way to shave about 950 bytes of data (minus the additional code needed for runtime decompression) from the world map for Even Goblins Fall In Love.
More compression means more game on a 64kb ROM.

Back in the day, you needed a Nintendo Power subscription to have someone tell you that monsters get stronger across bridges.
In Even Goblins Fall In Love, the NPCs tell you for free.

Finally found some time to sit down and design some of the final dungeon in Even Goblins Fall In Love.
I'm working on adding some gimmicks suitable for a place called The Throne of Lies.
