I am being the chaos I want to see in the world by going into people's houses and taking quick naps in their beds.

Added a new item to Even Goblins Fall In Love that will allow your next attack to apply twice as many stacks of status effects.
Double the poison, double the pain!

Battle scene from Even Goblins Fall In Love, an 8-bit NES JRPG. Player is in battle with a green rock-like enemy called Tendril. On-screen text says: "Next attack will apply a DOUBLE dose"

Continuing on my NES sound-related code size optimization kick from yesterday.

Looks like I can save 469 (nice!) bytes by excluding PAL support (from Famitone code and nsf2data parameters).

Downside: I need to make a separate PAL-version ROM.
Upside: 469 bytes is enough space to add several new enemy types.

Oh hey!
Just found an easy 110 byte codesize win by excluding Channel 5 (DPCM) in my music conversion script.

Yeah, I'm back on a size optimization kick as I try to stuff as much JRPG as possible into a CNROM board NES game.

While I was in Tokyo a couple weeks ago, I did an impromptu talk for Tokyo Indies.
Great group and cool venue!
Doing a presentation from a DJ booth is definitely a vibe.

I'll be posting a video of an English version of the talk sometime in the near future.

Robbie Dieterich, from Skyboy Games, doing a talk about her new NES JRPG, Even Goblins Fall In Love.
She is speaking from a DJ booth, wearing a leather jacket and a pink shirt. Colors from the projector wash across her face.

I'm working on making sure that field items in my indie NES JRPG, Even Goblins Fall In Love, also have some use in battle.

For example, the keys used to unlock enchanted doors can also instantly defeat Mimics by locking them shut.

For the AwesomeCon demo of Even Goblins Fall In Love, people always gave out a little chuckle when they encountered this guy.

Speaking of which, we will be releasing said demo soon.

8-bit sprite of a blue treasure chest with red eyes and tentacles coming out of it. The creature is holding a knife and it is named 'Stabby'!

The more lines I write for guards in my NES JRPG, the more dystopian the kingdom becomes.

Come see Even Goblins Fall In Love at AwesomeCon in DC this weekend!

I wrote this line of NPC dialogue and I instantly have a new character I love to hate.

This anonymous goober in front of the castle is now officially the worst.

#indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

Player visiting a castle in an 8-bit map. One of the characters is speaking, saying:
"Someone said the Princess does not wish to marry. How silly! She's a princess!"

Is it cliche to have a Mimic in a fantasy RPG? Yes.
Is it cool and fun, anyway? Absolutely.

At the moment, it costs about 100 bytes to add a new enemy to Even Goblins Fall In Love. About 80% of that is metasprite data. Time to put on the old code-size optimization gloves again.

I've been working through gamedev block by mocking up a sprite for a new Even Goblins Fall In Love enemy.

What do you do when an enchanted locked door blocks your way?
Use an enchanted key, of course!

By special request, I've updated the text that shows at the start of a fight in Even Goblins Fall In Love.

#indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro

A combat encounter in Even Goblins Fall In Love (NES Homebrew JRPG). The player encounters an enemy called a Gigahan. The screen says: "A fiendish creature draws near!"

It's been hard to make progress on the game due to time and energy being leeched away by the actions of the new administration in the US, but I did put together a gameplay video of a recent build of Even Goblins Fall In Love.

How cool is this?
There are now achievements on retroachievements.org for Gunhawk.
Thank you, Wulden!

Ready your NES Zapper and go get those cheevos!

Due to rising maintenance costs, I have had to close the physical NES game store on site.

It's a bit sad, but you can still get physical copies of our NES games on our Etsy store:

Easing into some Even Goblins Fall In Love after recovering from MAGFest last week.

Yes, the doors in the game are essentially NPCs that don't move and tell you that they're doors when you talk to them.
