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).
Next up
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"π
Super Sunny World is a new pixel platformer, and a love letter to the original Super Mario Bros.π

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!
