30 days... 1 all-new NES platformer! Announcing...

🌞Super Sunny World🌞

Over the next month we are going to work start to finish on a BRAND NEW platforming game for the NES!

At the end of it, the game will immediately go on sale as a physical cart! #nesdev

About the game:

Super Sunny World is going to be a very simple, bright, colorful, platformer inspired by Super Mario Bros 1. I'd like to recreate some of the "design magic" of that game, with a few little twists to the formula.

This is not a hack! It is an original NES game!

Why 1 month?

This tight timeline will keep things moving at a breakneck pace, and also act as a forcing function to keep scope in check!

Is 30 days too short? I don't know... who cares!

This game will not be groundbreaking, but I plan to make it silky smooth and fun as hell!😁

Current Progress?

We are more or less starting from scratch.

We have already established the general design principals, and mocked up a few test screens.

I have been building a platforming engine for a few months, and that will be the start for this project's engine.

Lots left to do!

The clock starts now!

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"🌞

Super Sunny World is a new pixel platformer, and a love letter to the original Super Mario Bros.🍄

WISHLIST!

Let's catch up on the current status of Super Sunny World!

Here's something you don't see in every NES game:

A platformer with ZAPPER support! Super Sunny World allows a 2nd player to kill enemies with the Zapper Gun.

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!

I needed to implement a way for certain areas of the level to "lock" the camera, prior to reaching the end of the level data. Thankfully DisplacedGamers' amazing explanation of how SMB1 attempts to do it stuck in my mind, and I recreated that system.
