Overworld I don't know how large it's going to be, but it at least needs to have an island shaped like a skull and one other landmass. The starting house is 21x22, the town is a more diffuse 32x32, the castle might be a little bigger than the town or have multiple floors and the dungeons, well, the...

More graphics from Xeno Safari (which might be renamed to Xoo Xeno Xafari). Excerpts from the Creature Catalog Cyclobovine: Despite its one eye, the cyclobovine is completely blind. Its tentacle acts as a weapon and a reproductive organ. Dragorilla: Part dragon and part gorilla, the dragorilla is th...

Anyone want to write some music for me? I need one long piece (maybe 5-10) minutes, with a lot of variety so people don't get bored of it as it loops. I'm imagining something weird and funky, but very laid back. Xeno Safari is supposed to be relaxing. So, along the lines of Ramble Planet's soundtra...

I think I've played every one of your OHR games at this point. Your graphics have really improved! These look very attractive. The muted color palette is nice.

Tileset (mostly) done. I'll begin making maps and drawing more tiles as I need them. I think I'm going to take Harlock's idea and have the player expend energy as they wander the island. This will force them to periodically rest. My goal is to have Xeno Safari completely done by the end of December,...

A plain jane menu demo while I try to tame the stupid fireworks. Logos and stuff in the background are WIP, and I changed us from Van Halen to AC/DC so if you're scandalized by song names, look out! This looks fresh. I'm not sure what the backgrounds tiles are supposed to be (Famicom cartridges?) b...

Sounds good, Willy! What is it that you need to rest from by returning to base? Is there combat of some sort (yo-yo based?), or do you just gradually lose stamina during exploration? Off topic: Star Tropics is so awesome. I'd love to a reboot of that franchise! You don't really need to rest anythin...

Anyway, managed to reproduce the bug after a handful of attempts and quickly figured it out. It was triggered if you press a key to skip the titlescreen immediately, before it's drawn a single frame, which requires either very bad timing, or just holding a key down until it starts to repeat. That c...

Here is my basic premise for Xeno Safari . You are camping on your aunt’s tropical island retreat. After an alien ship crashed there, the island has become home to all manner of animals and insects from outer space. Your mission is to spot these alien creatures. Xeno Safari is an open world collect-...

Those 3D effects pretty impressive for the NES. Mind blown.

Gotta admit, I'm not sure what the hell I was thinking with this concept and I can see how it doesn't line up with a lot of the stuff we talked about. I just thought it might look cool and made it to see whether or not it actually did. I've got a few other ideas I'm going to test (I never did get t...

I'd like to participate as well, hopefully. I want to make something like... a one-screen platformer in the vein of Bubble Bobble but more by way of Castlequest. I've always been enchanted by this awesome Castlequest map. Could you clear up the palette guidelines, if there are any? There was an NES...

Here's who has to agreed to participate and what they are working on. It is okay to make a game in a similar style to someone else, but a variety would be nice!
