I'm a terrible musician, but I made a 2nd tune for my sound engine's test ROM today.

RIP my wallet
On the positive side, I now have 12 carts left for a full PAL/NTSC NES set. Used to be my main focus before moving to Japan/getting into PC Engine, but I'm still grabbing the ones I need when I have the chance!

Haven't had much chance to work on the game recently, sometimes life gets in the way.
Still planning to go back to it as soon as I can though!
For now, I found this silly manga about salaryman ninjas, I feel like I might get some inspiration for Special Ninja Squad :P

Stage B-2 is in, and I've made a lot of custom elevator routines for it to make it look like you're inside them :D

Building a new level. A concept I had in Space Soviets already, but a bit more refined!

Does smashing the dead miniboss's head around bring anything to the gameplay?
No.
Is it hella fun?
Absolutely!

Great read! I have two, one I got for less than peanuts in a lot of Famicom(?!) games on Mercari, and another one gifted to me by a friend on the condition I repair it and I give it a good home.
It is such a fun handheld, especially for nerds beyond saving like me :P

My new compression ended up freeing 4KB so far. But accounting the extra graphics I still need to add (conveniently enough the kind it noticeably improved) I can already see it save a full bank's worth of data! And every bank counts on a HuCard :D

Doing on a few enemies after work :D
The first is a stage-specific redesign of an older enemy (The big lad), and the bottom one is a Roller-Blade cyborg (Get it, cuz he has blades for arms and is on rollerblades :P)
