Today I would usually post my weekly "recap" of Super Sunny World, but the last week or so has been entirely dedicated to performance improvements which are hard to show. The game is running MUCH better, but it still struggles with 5+ enemies on screen.


Also, the cart hardware for "From Below Pocket" (the Game Boy port of my NES game, "From Below") is almost done, so I've started dedicating part of my time to finishing the print materials for that game. It's been mostly done since late 2022, but needs to be adjusted for final print specs.

But wait! There's more!

The key-art for Super Sunny World has been finalized, and I have kicked off a commission for the game's logo. I'll hopefully be able to share a mock-up of the box in the coming weeks, but for now here is a little tease of the key-art for the cover!

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!

Mae Borowski is the main character of Night in the Woods! It's an adventure game that tells the story of her return to her hometown of Possum Springs. She was confirmed as canonically pan in a social media post by the game's creator Scott Benson.

"Ghost Piece" is now available in From Below Pocket via a "patch/hack" for anyone interested! It comes with the game when purchased on itch.io! Warning: It's very untested, and probably has perf issues. 😅 https://mhughson.itch.io/from-below-pocket/devlog/617249/ghost-p…

An NES crossover!
