🚀 The New 8-Bit All-Stars Bundle is now live!
Honestly, I still can’t believe we managed to bring together so many incredible NES & Famicom homebrew developers and games in one bundle.
I hope you’ll enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together.

✨ Micro Mages Maker launches on April 2, 2026 on Steam and Nintendo Switch!
Get ready to create your own levels! Play them solo or with up to 4 players in local co-op. 🧙 🏗
We haven't posted in a while. Triple Jump is very technical and less visual currently.
But here's how the 512KB MMC1 Triple Jump ROM allocates its space.
The circled areas are small islands of unused space that we're hoping to tap into. They add up to a whopping 2KB! #NESdev
Added some compression into the mix et voila! Banks $03 and $05 look way less cramped now, that SHOULD be enough space to carry us through the rest of development :) #NESdev

Turns out Saber Surfers is lacking challenge in the early game so we're reworking the game to favor groups of bullets and geometric patterns. #NESdev

It's been 40 years since the NES was released in North America.
And a whopping 50 years for the CPU which powered it: the MOS 6502.
It launched at $25 in 1975, orders of magnitude cheaper than its competitors and became of the most successful microprocessors of all time #NESdev
Grunt work, but gotta get these things right. 🤖
Decoupling some moves from their states, making sure they work together gracefully.
E.g. the drill (vertical dash) + cocoon (deflects bullets back at the boss) #NESdev
When you finally catch a longstanding bug on an emulator recording. #NESdev 😭
Player is teleported to bottom screen edge and dies instantly when trying to use a gadget with up+B. It happens VERY rarely.
Thanks, @NicolasBetoux !
Finally getting to do some optimizations :)
Improved the engine to handle twice as many objects without slowdown. #NESdev
That's gonna come in handy for 4-player mode, which is especially taxing on the CPU...
We added another curse haunting the bottom screen edge in Triple Jump's bonus game. #NESdev
He just wants to play. 🦈
