I am making a brand new NES game!
Thaddeus Grey:
Sounds cool, lemme know when you get far along. I can do pretty good work. When I have a working PC... Damn you iPod.

Sounds good guys and I understand about the whole overwhelmed thing. I'm currently working on an original Bullet Hell Touhou style shooter that may get ported to NES if it doesn't get too crazy. I have a copy of Recca so it's doable. Really though it's to get my head around all the different programming techniques for games before I delve into Assembly... That being said, eventually maybe I could get a cover made to put the game in a DVD case.
The progress for far with the Bullet Hell is decently far along. We have the concept almost completely figured out including AI etc. Programming I have the GUI completed as well as the first character sprite moving around perfectly in the game. I'm currently waiting on my sprite artist to shoot me a few more enemies and I'm going to program some AI insanity in there.
As for the NES carts themselves no zombification is necessary as BadChad is right, although I am going to use NES Reproductions instead as I have a working relationship with them.

a bullet hell Touhou style shooter? Good luck with that. The only game that's like that on the NES/Famicom is the Famicom only Summer Carnival '92 Recca, and that was made by Nexat Soft, not a single guy. Unless you were planning on making a rom hack of that?
thesubcon3:
Oh, I'll need all the luck that I can get! I am definitely not doing a hack but I will look at their coding styles to see how they accomplish certain tasks. Now while it will be Touhou inspired on the NES it will have to be slimmed down.
If I take what Recca did but cut off the left and right sides it should allow me to speed it up a little and maybe add in more bullets. We'll see though as I am still working on the Windows version first. If anyone is interested in beta testing it shoot me a PM and I'll add you to the list.

Stumbled on this, and I really wanna know what happened?
