Hey all, time for some good old thread necromancy. I had a discussion about DS with the other programmer, FIX94 and we essentially agreed that the likelihood of us ever returning to continue developing the game is non-existant, so I figured I might aswell drop the rom here so people can try it out if there's any interest for such a thing. be warned though, being essentially an engine prototype, it is quite broken from here and there, namely; - stage end platforms dont work (skull platforms) they crash the rom. - shop platforms are just null tiles, they do nothing - don't die on the ice level (mountain) it will wrongwarp you and essentially softlock, warp code is not connected to the stage - pistol weapon is not implemented and not selectable. - whip is not detecting nametables properly, so hitting a box in a nametable other than where player is, is not possible. - graphics and music are wip and partially placeholders/old revisions of things. its essentially just a glorified walking simulator. But people keep telling me its very pretty so there's that i guess. lol there's some odd collsision bugs and all the usual yadda yadda everywhere. you know the drill download from my dropbox: https://dl.dropbox.com/s/pj8pgnu4b8rffpj/DimensionShift_05052021.nes

you woud have to ask @Raftronautor dispensary33 directly regarding whether or not the cartridges will be available for public. what you're seeing is one of the (to my knowledge) 5 existings copies that were sent to the parties related to making the game.

aye!

Hey all. After a while of struggling to work with the game and personal issues along with some other things Im not going to get into in detail, I've decided to officially ice this project. It wasn't too shabby for a first attempt at a game entirely made by 2 people with no prior knowledge of game design I guess, but it is what it is. As for now I'm not going to further pursue NES development either, so administration can either close or just delete this thread at their disrection. I'll be lurking around for other people's projects though. Huge thanks to everyone for the kind words and support towards the game, it meant a lot for us. It was a fun ride while it lasted. Sorry we couldn't deliver.

i guess they had to commission their own nes game after they couldn't get battletoads

You simply must realize the truth that there is no cube. The cube does not rotate, you do.

another day, another WIP tileset done .... I guess. the snowy mountains got a bit of a makeover and the second part of the stage is starting to take shape in the form of a tileset test screen. (I did say it's a 2-part stage, did I ? ) and the lower part of the stage will be something of this sort. who's in for some ICE PHYSICS ?

famicom controllers having the cord on the side instead of at the top. And yes SHORT CORDS!!!! seriously tho, the placement >_<

and so few generations from now, nes collectors will face the paradox of collecting ......retro retro games

NES homebrew is retro its new, but made to look like the old games from 30 years ago (restrictions d'oh) hence, only retro nes games are the ones that came out recently ^^; as such, the argument that this is a retro gaming community stands, as there are numerous retro developers present. that then brings us to an interesting question since we're going on about semantics of the word "retro" since, say battle kid is a true retro game, being fairly new, but made in the style of old, at which point it stops being retro, and becomes just old ? (plz dont hurt me, it's a lighthearted conversation)

i have a twitter account https://twitter.com/teh_mugi but it's a real hit and miss as far as updates gos. I dont really talk about this project much aside having this thread here which i occasionally update.

It's been a long while since I wrote anything regarding the project so, if nothing else, just to let people know we are indeed still working on this, here's (an extremely early!) tileset test screen of how "stage 4" might possibly look like. I'm still working on detail tiles et cetera, along with stage-specific mechanics.... It will be a 2-part stage though (vertically, or horizontally? that's the question ) I sent early looks of it to Jeremy earlier today, so hopefully soon(ish) we'll get to hear how this place sounds like too. not much else to add as of now... we're struggling with the engine a little and due to that, progress on that front has slowed down a lot while we're regaining our will to fight it through.

I'm no one, and I love it. Do your thing, start doing your next thing, write a nonsensical forum post once a year and the world didnt move in any direction whatsoever

we're working on it as we can, but it's been quite slow lately due to personal things going on with both of us developing it. nothing really notable to update as for now, but i've been sketching up the 4th stage a little and we started working on the entity system, which is still a broken mess, but enemy spawning does now work on a horizontal axis so its' moving along a little.
