We've been very busy working on the turn based combat engine for Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the PC and NES! Watch the whole video; there's a lot going on! Yes, all of this is legal on the NES. No, this is not a mockup. This is our actual game engine! #nesdev #pixelart

This is a prototype for the Fast Travel / World Map Battle Engine in Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the NES and PC! We don't think we can squeeze any more out of the NES than this. (Well, maybe a *little bit* more...) Unmute your audio! #Pixelart #NES

We loved the lantern effect from A Link to the Past so much that we decided to replicate it in Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the NES and PC! (Unmute your audio...) Still needs work, but we think it's just fine as a proof-of-concept. This works on a real NES. #8bit #NES
