Anybody else planning on participating in the Global Game Jam this weekend? We gotta represent!
https://globalgamejam.org/
Last year there were only 3 NES games. (!) Only two of which were playable, and only one that you could realistically play for more than 20 seconds.
I was pretty proud of the game my group came up with last year. (https://globalgamejam.org/2018/games/in ... ansmissing) Our local gamedev scene organized a play party at a brewery afterwards, and all the people that played it did so for at least 10 minutes. Most players sat there for almost 30 and solved all the puzzles. Not bad considering I was the only one on the team that had done any NES dev previously (which really only included a gimmicky dissassembler that ran on the NES). I'm definitely going to try and pitch a NES game again this year.
My regular job involves a lot of Unity3D, so I like to avoid that when I actually want to have fun. hehe
