Sept 22, 2022 – TRY IT OUT IN THE ITCHIO BROWSER?!? MAYBE?
This is my first NES homebrew game, GRAVEYARD DUDE. It was built using the Retro Puzzle Maker, after which I heavily modified it with new graphics and music:
puzzle.nes.science/home
There are two packages currently available:
For free you can get a special FREE BETA BUILD DEMO which is a short 12-puzzle mashup of early draft versions of the puzzles and graphics ideas with the music and game features (run button, music changes in-game, etc) of the complete version without spoiling the ending.
Additionally, there is a second FREE ENHANCED DEMO designed specifically for the NESDEV Comp 2022. This one is the first 12 stages of the final version of the game in full color and all features you can expect in the final game with a custom ending at completion that does not spoil the actual ending of the complete version.
Also available for free are your choice of a yellow or blue retro instruction manual PDF, which are loosely inspired by the NES and Famicom manuals for Ghosts N Goblins.
The GRAVEYARD DUDE purchased version has 33 puzzles, a new ending and special achievement screens and messages for completing the game at different lengths of time. Also included is a full NSF soundtrack of the game and THE GRAVEYARD, a short all-cutscene story game about Sir Heinrich and Princess Aryxe.
SEPT 22, 2022 – Tenatively trying out embedding a JSNES emulator through Ninjapad to allow folks to try out playing GRAVEYARD DUDE in the itchio browser game window without having to download a demo. I’m having some trouble getting it to look and sound right on my browser but my computer is 5000 years old and uses Linux. I might need to fool around with some settings that I don’t currently understand. In either case, play at your own risk, the demos are still there for free to play on your offline emulator of choice.JSNES Github – https://github.com/bfirsh/jsnesNinjaPad Github – https://github.com/ninjadynamics/ninjapad#readme
