m308gunner | 352 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 Anyone try the programming software by the guy who's making the Mystic Searches game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaosu | 104 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I have used it a small amount. It's a very interesting tool that I feel is better at getting your feet wet in homebrew developing rather than helping to create the game you had ideas about in your head. It's quite powerful for what it is, and it really can do a lot of things. The map making tool section I love, it's quite easy to make nametables, but in the end it will still take a bit of knowledge about ASM to do a lot of things with it. I recommend it for anyone wanting to experience making a homebrew with simpler functions, and to see if it's something they would be willing to learn ASM for to do a lot more with. Not knowing a ton of ASM, I can't give an opinion on how it affects any sort of advanced homebrew making though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrobins | 1,725 Moderator · Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 I haven't had a chance to play with the program yet, but in addition to his facebook group where people work through using it, you could reach out to the folks promoting some of their games made with NESmaker likes the guys behind Dungeons & Doomknights, Soko Banana, and Turtle Rescue.

Vaosu | 104 Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 There's a forum as well with quite a few tutorials and resources. It's not incredibly active, but it is active at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesRobot | 5,800 Events Team · Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 As a total n00b, I think it's cool but I have only played around a bit. I still don't have any real time for it though. One day... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-type | 2,480 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 I got it, but its still too complicated for me to do much. I just don't think I have the patience for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinandcartridge | 8 Posted January 30, 2022 Share Posted January 30, 2022 (edited) I would recommend going through the nerdy nights tutorials first and then learning NESmaker. The reason being is that the nerdy nights tutorials will provide you a very solid understanding of coding for the NES without being overwhelming. This combined with NESmaker will give you a lot of flexibility. NESmaker is a great tool, and having some knowledge of ASM will really increase what you are able to do with the tool and thus set your games apart from everyone else that is using it. -Beard Edited January 30, 2022 by pinandcartridge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
