Super Sunny World - New NES Platformer
About the game:
Super Sunny World is going to be a very simple, bright, colorful, platformer inspired by Super Mario Bros 1. I'd like to recreate some of the "design magic" of that game, with a few little twists to the formula.
This is not a hack! It is an original NES game!
Development Schedule:
Originally, I set the goal of finishing this game is just 4 weeks! However, at the end of the 4th week there was still a lot of work to do. And to be honest, the game is shaping up really nicely. I don't want to rush it out at this point, just to meet so arbitrary goal I set for myself.
So although I still hope to keep the scope of this project quite small, delivering in the realm of "months" (not years), there is likely still a good chunk of work left to do!
Release Plans:
Super Sunny World will be available as a physical NES cartridge and a digital ROM download.

Very impressive!
Re: Super Sunny World - New NES Platformer
Week 5 has been a little slow. Just added 1 new enemy type, and added the concept of "lives".
The good news is that the soundtrack is now complete and we can spend most of this week's video previewing it! Enjoy!

Re: Super Sunny World - New NES Platformer
Love the quality of the art. Have you given any thought to making the character's hair pink instead of blonde for the box art? This would make it more in line with the character's game sprite and, as the art style on the box is anime-inspired, it would not look out of place for her to have pink hair.
P.S. Maybe you could also add the bow to the sprite's hair since it appears to be a major feature of her appearance in the artwork... I attached a quick edit to one of your screenshots that has a bow in her hair to give you an idea as to what it may look like.

Sorry for the delayed response. I thought I had replied, but might have forgot to hit "submit".HJRodrigo wrote: ↑Tue Jul 04, 2023 7:55 pm Love the quality of the art.

Anyway, I think your mock looks pretty cool! I don't do the art for the game (it is done by https://twitter.com/kennethfejer), so to iterate and make changes like this is a bit of a challenge. I have to feel pretty strongly about something changing to really push him to redo something he's already done, and in this case I'm super happy with what we have already.
Thanks for the ideas though! I love seeing it.

At least the in-game & box art are in-line with reality - I know a young lady who changes her hair color once a week!

It's been tough to find time to put together a Super Sunny World update video this summer, so here's 3 months worth of features condensed into 2 minutes! Enjoy!
