You don’t have to buy a physical cartridge to support NES homebrew devs.
Digital versions matter too.

SkateCat is available here 🛹 🐱👇

Working on a #Cryptsmasher cutscene! It's nice to take a break and do art for the project. 🐭 ✏️

Been sick the last few days so not much done on #Cryptsmasher except I've been laying down the music and sound effects. Amazing how much music provides polish to the game! I'll have a video soon ☺️

Monday mood: my #Cryptsmasher project is on stand still while I work through artist's block for one particular but important design element. Wish me luck!

To my fellow #itch game devs: as I get closer to a demo of Mickey Mouse Cryptsmasher, I'm wondering if it's better to make a separate demo page or keep the demo on the main game page. Thoughts?

I've been posting lots so for #screenshotsaturday I wasn't sure what to post. I figured this shot of the new heart pickups was as good as any! But wait.. is there something behind that heart? Be careful!

Playing with dialogues for the first cutscene but when my brain gets silly and I start writing stuff like this it's usually time to call it a day 😜

Discovering the magic of palette swapping so that the owls can be in the background more and also so you can actually see Mickey in darker, Crypt-ier environments. 👻
