TheGameDisplay | 55 Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 (edited) Wow, you're doing an amazing job! I'm definitely interested in a physical release whenever you get there. I love a good SMB throwback, and yours is looking beautiful. Edited April 7, 2023 by TheGameDisplay 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthughson | 173 Posted April 11, 2023 Author Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) Another week, another progress update video on my new NES game, Super Sunny World! This recap introduces a few new moves to Sunny's repertoire, and gives a little glimpse at how levels will be strung together via the level editor.

matthughson | 173 Posted April 17, 2023 Author Share Posted April 17, 2023 Recap for this week includes a whole new area of the game: the Cloud Zone! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthughson | 173 Posted May 2, 2023 Author Share Posted May 2, 2023 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! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanooki | 4,932 Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Are both of them going to ship as game only or just the total package like the old days? The push Tetris mechanic there seems pretty solid from a picture or two I saw. It would be interesting if it went more into the Tetris Blast style weeds of different pieces than the traditional 7.

Both games will ship CIB. You can play the NES version of From Below at www.frombelowgame.com if you're curious. The GB game is the same, with the addition of a Versus mode using the Link Cable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthughson | 173 Posted July 19, 2023 Author Share Posted July 19, 2023 Still going strong. Things slowed down a bunch with summer being here and I was focused on some side projects like The Homebrew Games Summer Showcase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthughson | 173 Posted August 28, 2023 Author Share Posted August 28, 2023 It's been tough to find time to put together a Super Sunny World update video this summer, so here's 3 months worth of features condensed into 2 minutes! Enjoy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks phenomenal! I might have to make an exception to my "only buying homebrew games on Famicom format" to get this one when it comes out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a3quit4s | 4,096 Posted Monday at 02:04 AM Share Posted Monday at 02:04 AM @matthughson- I just read your interview on NintendoLife and it reminded me to bump this topic and see how development was going on Super Sunny World! https://www.nintendolife.com/features/meet-four-developers-making-brand-new-game-boy-titles-in-2024?utm_campaign=promoted-articles&utm_medium=homepage-listing&utm_source=timeextension.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthughson | 173 Posted Monday at 03:13 AM Author Share Posted Monday at 03:13 AM Things are going well, thanks for checking in! I've finished all the levels in the game, and all of the core mechanics (enemies, moves, etc). Right now I am focused on BOSS FIGHTS, which is quite new to me, and going slow. But I think it will elevate the game quite a bit. After that, I need to do some metagame stuff (credits, menus, collectibles, etc), and they game should be done. Hoping to enter Beta sometime this summer! I uploaded a short montage of gameplay a few months ago that shows snippets of the first 4 worlds or so. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
