Next time, I swear I'll work on a NES game that is bound by CPU performance instead of ROM size.

Making some updates to the starting castle of Even Goblins Fall In Love to account for events at the end of the game.

This creature, the Dumpstar, was birthed from a bug that incorrectly combined enemy sprites. I liked the combo so much I turned it into an official creature.

Get hyped, folks!
The first physical NES copy of Even Goblins Fall In Love is here.
It's a build of a beta version (v0.8) of the game that I'll be showing at Indie Game Fest 2026 (https://www.eventbrite.com/e/indie-video-game-fest-2026-tickets-1987013814809) at the Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, MD.

Speaking of console limitations shaping creativity, I just renamed the Cape of Nobility (one of the quest macguffins in Even Goblins) to the Cape of Bravery for thematic clarity. As a bonus, I also save 4 bytes of ROM space!
