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! 📷 #nesdev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

It's kind of insane how well this character works on existing Super Sunny World levels... ...might need to build some Lock-On cart technology, Sonic & Knuckles style! #nesdev

Still not sure what's next, but for fun I've started porting that old character into Super Sunny World 🌞 SSW began on the same engine, but it's evolved so much that I'd rather build forward than go back. For now, I'm just experimenting and having fun. #nesdev

Anyone remember this game? It was the NES project I put on hold to work on Super Sunny World 🌞 for "just a month." Well... 3+ years later, I'm finally starting to think about what I want to work on next.
My new NES game now features level transitions in all directions! Here's a 360° tour of a **debug level** showing all the different types of transitions and scrolling. This non-linear "Horizonal Scrolling + Vertical Auto-Scroll" style is inspired by Super Mario Bros 2!

One of the coolest parts of Game Dev is seeing the full, retail build on your TV at home. After spending years looking at this thing on crappy monitors, and covered in debug text... seeing it "for real" is like seeing it again for the first time! I'm sure others can relate.

Hughson Videogame Publishing is now Incorporated! 🥳 Not the most exciting thing, I know, but I'm pretty happy to finally get this done. Previously I was just operating as a Sole Proprietor and the taxes were killing me! 😳

Looks like the fake site and fake youtube channel have been taken down, so hopefully that's the last we hear from Witch & Wizard!

Brief interlude from homebrew updates to celebrate Launch Day (early access) for my other baby, Gears of War: E-Day! It's been a VERY long development (even longer than Super Sunny World 🌞 haha), so seeing the positive reviews has been a huge relief! youtu.be/3onc3ownB14?si=9Sc0…

Looks like I'm going to have some downtime before Super Sunny World preorders start, and I'm not sure what I want my next project to be... I have a couple ideas 🧵👇

I have an idea for a game that requires both an NES and a Game Boy. You'd need to go back and forth between two pieces of software to play the game; kind of like the GB game is a digital guide book. You hit a puzzle in the NES game, and need the GB game to decipher the clues.
