A Mimic is a classic staple of fantasy games. You open up a chest expecting to find gold coins and instead encounter malevolent eyes and a horrid, grasping tongue.

In Even Goblins Fall In Love, if you need a rest and can't afford an inn, you can always go back to your mother's home to rest.

It took a bit of refactoring, but now a player can change frame styles without restarting the NES game being emulated. Totally worth the effort!

What happens when a Haniwa commits to a exercise routine and puts in the work? You get the Gigahan, one of the enemies you will encounter in Even Goblins Fall In Love.

Shout-out to the person at last week's IGDA DC event who noticed that I had used "researches" instead of "researchers" in one of Even Goblins Fall In Love's NPC lines.

That typo had escaped notice for quite a while.

I had a good time at IGDA DC's Play At The Library event last Saturday. Super tiny event that made it easy to catch up with some #gamedev friends and have expose some new folks to #indieRetro NES (i.e. NES Homebrew) development.

Totally worth lugging a CRT through the DC Metro.

When working on an emulator container, getting the game completely up and running ends up being one of the first tasks you tackle. After that, it's the surprisingly labor-intensive act of implementing all the bits we take for granted in a modern game, like an Options menu.
