HI! I'm Matt!
I'm coding a brand new platformer for the NES, inspired by Super Mario Bros 1 + 3. It's called...
Super Sunny World 🌞
Follow me to get updates as it approaches alpha, and please repost to let other folks know about it! 📷

The SNES is an amazing console, but ultimately I find the NES is what I play 99% of the time.
I think the NES just much more "pick up and play" ready compared to a lot of SNES games.
Both are essential consoles though!

Looks so awesome! Would love to see it with a more "chill" camera though... I feel like I'm watching a twitch shooter or something 😅
Now we can dive under those cool blue waves!

It's crazy how much of a downgrade this game was compared to the later NES games in the series...

I'm attempting to upgrade Sunny's sprites from 3 color NES to 16 color SNES... I have no idea what I'm doing. Recommendations welcome!

I know he's being facetious, but people would love to follow this kind of gamedev tbh...
Walked into Starbucks today. Guy in front of me typed a question into ChatGPT instead of Google. Just out in the open like that. In front of children.
I left and went to the another coffee shop without WiFi. Took the window seat so people can see me working (it helps with my anxiety and also I want them to see me working).
Today I'm coding my dream game. Started by drawing the whole roadmap with pen and paper (highly recommend this step). Then I hand-typed the code on my typewriter. None of that auto-complete or spellcheck crap.
My buddy scans the pages and pastes them into a pre-AI version of VS Code. Turnaround is 5-6 business days. Last week he got one semicolon wrong and I lost a month. Live and learn.
My game is already way better on paper than AI slop. It's a pixel art roguelike deck builder is all I'm going to say. The release date is 2031, or whenever my guy's scanner gets fixed.
Stay human 🫡

I'm combining more Super Sunny World movement with the dash mechanics ported over to the engine.
It's not obvious in the last video, but the movement was more stiff; it was based on Mega Man with full control at all times.
This change restores RUNNING, SLIDING, and more #nesdev
Can't have a Dash Move without a Ground Pound!

I've added a little ((shockwave)) to the ground pound move!
It will take out enemies, reveal items, and destroy blocks in a small radius around the player.

Of course, this also means there are new ways to design levels, hide pathways, and access items! #nesdev
