Hi! I'm working on a new action platformer for the NES (code name: Project Lotus), inspired by games like Zelda 2, Mega Man, and Metroid!

Here's a short video showing where it's at today! This is all running on an NES using the MMC3 mapper chip!

This "week" stretched a bit long, due to going away on vacation right in the middle for a couple weeks.

When making games on the NES, nothing is easy!

With a LOT of help from the #nesdev Discord, I was able to clean up the seam above the status bar.

Also there's some new (temp) art, and I even perform the forbidden mid-frame palette update for extra colors!
