I do hope I am posting this into the correct forum.

Looks pretty good! Haha, I think it's pronounced N.E.S.Dev. NES is an acronym and Dev is like the word development so yeah.....It's weird hearing it called that, but nobody else has every said it so I don't really know?



Looks good, the random sprites up top are his head! XD Yeah but jumping and stuff looks great, I like the fast animation, you can make a FAST moving game if it at that speed, that'd be awesome to see. Nice job on it so far, and keep working on it! Looks really fun even there!

Yes, I suppose that does make sense, though it is not the way I hear it in my head. When I open my mouth and pronounce things like MySQL, Linux, lib, gnu, etc... I often butcher it. So be prepared for me to do it more

Haha, will do man.

NES alone is "N-E-S", but I tend to contract it in emulator names such as "Nesticle", "Nestopia", "RockNES" (Engrish for "Loch Ness"?), and that emulator named after the Norwegian word for "nearly". So "ness-dev" fits the pattern.

Saying it letter by letter in Portuguese sounds really weird, so I've always said it as a word. Most people wouldn't know what I'm talking about either way... The best way to refer to an NES here in Brazil is "Nintendinho" (little Nintendo), since it was actually released after (or alongside, I'm not really sure) the SNES, so the NES was basically the baby brother. Before that we only used clones.

I was surprised to know that you English speakers called it N-E-S. But I'm used to it now, and in the rare occasions that I need to talk about it in English out loud I do call it that. I have always said NESDev the way cartlemmy did though (although we cariocas use a very forced "s" that sounds more like "sh").

Haha yeah, us diferent regions have weird thingsl ike that. Not that that is wrong or anything, just hearing it different is really strange Pretty cool, though! ^_^

I find that I use the pronunciations interchangeably. Nessdev or enn ee ess dev....ness dev rolls off the tongue easier.

Fun video btw. What's the name of your little bearded guy?

I've always pronounced it the same as the main character of Earthbound, or the Scottish lake monster. So I'd never use the word NES with an "an" in front of it.

Not sure yet, something Japanese sounding probably. Not sure though.

I've been working on collision detection for my game, and thought I'd give a video update.

Coming along nice! Neaten up the slope detection and tweak the physics and that looks the start to a nice engine!

Interesting video blog. I'm gonna have to keep checking for updates. By the way, what IDE are you using for your coding?

Thanks. I'm using Geany, then compiling with ASM6. ASM6 is running in WINE, as my OS is Ubuntu.

ASM6 is distributed as C source code, maybe you could build a Linux version with GCC.
