I guess I may be giving off the wrong impression. I want to know how to approach a publisher. Not go after one at the beginning of the dev cycle. I personally found Hangman SG cool. Not for the gameplay but the fact that it was possible in the first place. One man, one keyboard and one soldering gun...

How far can this be taken? Can you make asm look like a higher level language? I seem to remember a book in the early 90's about object oriented assembly. I assumed they used macros and stylistic rules to ape C++

I've been around the homebrew communities long enough to realise the money aspect and don't consider myself a wide-eyed doe. I've had my share of failed projects and half baked ideas. After awhile you know when something can be followed through and when to drop it. My goal is to make this game physi...

Try asking retrousb in #nesdev on EFnet IRC. Retrousb is a pretty straightforward dude. Has a page up with terms and everything. I'm actually more worried about impressing people like Super Fighter Team and Magical Game Factory blokes. They seem a bit closer to traditional publishing outfits. If an...

I don't think things are very formal... The guys who make these carts are pretty much hobbyists, just like the guys who program the games. I'd just email a demo ROM and ask if they are interested. They most likely won't care much until the game is close to finished though, since a lot of people don...

I'm currently working on a project that will eventually make it way to cart form. In the late game design phase and starting coding and asset creation (fonts, tiles, etc..) I'm wondering how people go about enticing an indie publisher to bite. Does one make a flyer as if I was selling an Arcade game...

Seems to work on the stock emulator for the Dingoo. Freakin' AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I posted some pretty sappy words of encouragement earlier but I stand behind them. This gives me hope for my projects.

The Color Dreams development kit seems kinda old and stanky. They were reverse engineering things and didn't always guess right. You may consider following the coursework from Bob Rosts class on NES development http://bobrost.com/nes/ He has this tool called nBasic which shields you from some assemb...

In my opinion, an artist seeking a coder should start with a couple mock-up screenshots. Thanks Tepples. That's exactly the situation. A graphic artist type with ideas. I'm sure mock-ups would not be a problem. Do people expect the submitter to provide estimate for hours and/or a lump sum for devel...

As a homebrew developer I've often seen awkward and unreasonable game project requests from "idea people". However, this time I'd like to help an acquaintance find someone who can do a game I cannot. I'd like to help him locate and properly proposition a homebrew developer. Where should he...

Thanks for the reply! It does indeed compile with the instructions provided in that RPGMaker.Net link. Here is the command line used: cl65 -L C:\NES\lib -t nes -I C:\NES\include *.c -o hello.nes It uses the include and lib folder from cc65 as well. I don't quite understand what a linker file is. It ...

So, I installed NESICIDE on Windows 7 64-bit by: 1. Installing GNUMAKE from NESICIDE website 2. Installing cc65 snapshot from NESICIDE website 3. Installing NESICIDE from NESICIDE website 4. Manually adding "C:\Program Files (x86)\cc65-snapshot\bin;C:\Program Files (x86)\cc65-snapshot\bin;C:\Pr...

I see a real need to allow for more relaxed languages like BASIC for consoles. There maybe two alternatives people haven't considered: Tying in BCX to cc65. People could code in BASIC and output C which cc65 could compile http://bcx-basic.sourceforge.net/ Rewriting parts of ZX Basic to compile for N...

I think the important part is that you've done enough so your INTENDED audience doesn't get duped.

I'm thoroughly pleased this eBay scrooge is unhappy with your actions.

Shooter/RPGs have happened before. You might look into Fuzzical Fighter for Famicom or Sigma Star Story for GBA.

Both games have limited RPG elements but definitely manage to differentiate themselves.
