Sometimes the teleportation bubbles will throw the player into risky situations, where they must react quickly to bounce back and find the way out.
時にはテレポートバブルがプレイヤーを危険な状況に送り込み、素早く反応して立て直し、出口を見つけなければなりません。

I added the princess you'll meet at the end of the game to the castle you visit at the beginning of the game.
Dramatists refer to this as Chekov's Princess.

#indienes #gamedev #homebrew #retrogame #nes #nesdev #indieretro #screenshotsaturday

Castle in an 8-bit Dragon Quest-style RPG. Seven characters are visible: 3 guards, 2 towns people, the goblin protagonist, and a princess.

Today in especially cursed input methods, I am pleased to present working Power Pad support for my #nes game Tactus. Like other entries in the rhythm-based roguelike genre, it is **remarkably** difficult to play like this. Ermh... enjoy? #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

It's a photograph showing Tactus running on a real NES! A SNES controller is plugged into P1, and a PowerPad is plugged into P2. Either one can be used to fully control the game.

We need people to test dev roms and make sure my shoddy programming doesn't break. The only requirements are that:

- you can run an NES emulator
- you've played (and loved!) the NES Dragon Warrior games
- you can spend some time with the test builds and report back on your experience

Send DM!

Our convention is different.

It’s like a laidback adult spring break in Nov.

We have rad guests.
Pinball.
A fun curated vendor hall.
Informative panels.
After dark activities that are a hoot.

Best of all, it’s right on the white sandy beaches of Destin FL & profits go to local charities!

Here’s to remembering why we picked up the controller in the first place.

Not to argue.
Not to compare.
But to live a hundred lives we never could…and feel every single one of them.

Video games weren’t made to divide us… they were made to move us.

Let’s never forget that 💙
