matthughson 171 Member · Posted November 2, 2020 Author Share Posted November 2, 2020 (edited) I have a mailing list which I will give the most up to the minute notice. You can sign up here (its not used for anything other than notifying people when it goes on sale, and likely a pre-warning email - eg. sale goes live in 48 hours).

matthughson 171 Member · Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 I've posted a pretty lengthy blog about my journey from complete noob, to releasing From Below Complete in Box. Covers everything from my background, what I used to learn NESDev, and my marketing for the game. Next I am planning to do a cost breakdown of what I paid to make the physical copies. http://www.matthughson.com/2020/12/07/from-completely-in-the-dark-to-complete-in-box-making-an-nes-game-in-2020/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matthughson 171 Member · Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 2 pieces of news today! The cost of producing From Below physical copies: First, I wrote an article breaking down the costs and profits made off the physical version of From Below. If you have ever wanted to release a CIB copy of a game, I would give this a read!! http://www.matthughson.com/2020/12/19/the-cost-of-making-a-cib-nes-game-in-2020/ Vs. From Below Open Beta: I have been quietly plugging away over the past few weeks on a version of From Below for the Nintendo Vs. Arcade System. I think this is the first game for the system in 30 years! And it is now open for Beta Testing! You can read all the details here and download the eprom images as well as a traditional NES ROM (playable in Mesen or any emulator that supports the Vs System). https://mhughson.itch.io/from-below/devlog/206464/vs-system-beta-080 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
