Re: Haunted Halloween 85

No one is being prevented, yet, as far as I know. I guess this all started from the statement, "Steam does not allow packaged software with your game so an emulator wasn't an option.", meaning I couldn't put the ROM on Steam with an emulator to play it and distribute it that way. This stat...

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

I'm not certain that Valve even has that kind of policy at all. I think they tend to reserve the right to react to problems as they arise, rather than provide a strict list of requirements up front. (I did some searching of the documentation available to me, but I don't really see anything that wou...

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

By the way, I wanted to add, admittedly the instrument choices get a little rough after a couple listens, but some of the melody work is genuinely good. Particularly the mall level music. I can still remember how the tune goes and it's pretty catchy. The Mall theme "Convenient Chaos" is d...

Re: An overdue thank you

I think this post is long overdue, and I don't know where else on the page to put it, so I figured I'd put it here. I wanted to just post a blanket, long overdue 'thank you' to the NESDEV community - those that trailblazed this path and did all the grunt work to reverse engineer this beast so that ...

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

Ahhh...ummm.... that Tepples quote didn't work as planned.

I guess it's beyond my skill set to quote a hyperlink properly.

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

The game is being built for PC in Unity from scratch by Two Coins Entertainment to match the NES version. We've had a lot of people telling us that they don't have an NES but want to play the game so hopefully this meets that need. Does this seem ridiculous? It's the only route I could think to take...

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

Failing to jump on slopes is the biggest complaint. It's not game breaking, but after I died to that I had to make sure I was at a stop before jumping on a slope again. This has been brought to my attention several times, hopefully this is something we can work on or at least work with (i.e. not pu...

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

Belated congratulations to the team on getting a NES game made from initial pitch to physical production in just a mere 7 months . Thanks! It took some serious effort to bring it all together in that last few weeks leading up to release. Especially the bosses, cut scenes and some backgrounds that w...

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

1.Original topic began civil. Some notes on palette compromises and VRAM update architecture; some foreshadowing. These were good questions to direct at Tepples since he was the brains behind the tech side of things. 2.Last minute sound engine replacement months later once the composer becomes frus...

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

This is Greg, Tim's business partner. Thanks for the kind words about the stores dougeff! We try to make them a nice place for retro gamers and collectors so when we get positive feedback like that it really helps to reaffirm that we're doing things that customers like. I agree about the homebrews! ...

Re: Haunted Halloween 85

Thanks for getting this conversation rolling again! First, I apologize for not being available during the first round of discussions. By the time I read the initial thread it was locked. Also, a word of warning, I am new to message boards / forums so if I do something taboo on here please inform me....
