There's a million hidden features that go into building a game engine. Even more so on the NES!

So I thought it would be fun to take stock of everything that's gone into my current NES game (a platformer inspired by Zelda 2 + Mega Man + Metroid).

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!

An NES crossover!

The Kraken from my first NES game, "From Below", will make a cameo as one of the bosses in my next NES game, "Super Sunny World"🌞
