finally made enough progress i'm happy with to show what i've been doing in the background. it's a game! it's only about a month's worth of on-and-off work. it's also why i delayed comms to june, as i wanted to buy myself at least a little time to work... on thisshow more

it's not my first attempt at making a game (it's my 4th or 5th or something), but it's definitely the most developed yet. everything else never made it past a single screen, or even beyond basic movement, for that matter so yeah i'm pretty proud of what i've made so far

also bc i wanna yap some more, virtually everything here outside of guppy's sprites are placeholder. makes it look more developed than it really is lmao. i just scraped some of my previous spritework for it the music is from TMNT 2 NES and the sfx are from ninja gaiden 3

I'm just here to ask for Xbox version before you become a big game studio

Oh dude thats fire

when do i get the Z saber upgrade?

believe me i'm gonna work on that as soon as i get a basic enemy up and running

I recognize these tiles - they are from Megaman & Bass (SNES: Rockman & Forte). I know that because I ripped them for a SMW hack that @Case_Portman did years ago (Mario Buried Treasure)!

You’ve definitely got my support! The MC looks adorable!

WOAH HOLY GEM!

Awesome:0

love how this is looking!

@SwiftAtK777 Groundman has a fuzzy maid intruder~

Looks snappy and satisfying

I wanna play this p bad tbh

Looks good What's engine?

godot 4.5

This pixel art is absolutely gorgous. Love the Mega Man inspiration.

HAHAHA YES LOOK AT HER GO

excellent prototype i hope you can finish it and doesnt become an abandoned game.... Btw a question is the music from an actual NES game or did you composed it yourself being very similar to NES limitations?

music is from TMNT 2 NES

I was sure that was Rogue Legacy at first

love the crispy art style 😁

Nice tune. Very Konami-style

thanks it quite literally IS a konami tune

Yayyy

Is that track from one of the tmnt arcade games? Good times 👍🏽

yep! it's from the NES port of the arcade game, sewer portion of stage 2

Yk for on and off work this is pretty good! Keep it up!

There's something off about the spinning jumps, I'm just not talented enough to articulate what

groumd man stage...

Is this made in NESMaker?

nope, godot 4.5

@GeeksGrimoire Godot? How easy or hard is to learn to make something there, specially NES styled? Even Constructs 2 & 3 is difficult yo just set up a title screen and switching between them. I only ever thinkered with Pixel Game Maker MV but never went nowhere and sadly performance always chug

@SirHoopsalotArt I know you were asking the OP, So I'lllet them answer the Godot answer. But NESMaker is made to actually make games for NES carts and real hardware. and you can get a basic game up and going with one of the import modules in 30 minutes.

Incredible, love the character and I'd like to ask what kind of game is gonna be

plan is to be standard mega man X fare, basically

Fox megaman x game? I'm totally in!

The character freeze and camera pan transitions trigger my panic flight response like anticipating a boss battle or visiting my extended family LOL

cute!

what is the best way to learn gamedev? amazing artstyle btw

from my limited experience so far, when you're using tutorials, don't just copy code but take time to figure out how its pieces work you have to learn how code talks to each other, not just what the code does also remember: code is VERY LITERAL. it does ONLY what you tell it to

Whaou. GG!
