NOTE: Kickstarter for Rollie is now live. Link below.

https://www.kickstarter.com/proje...

Runs from August 31st - September 30th

---

Rollie is my first NES homebrew. It is a full scale side scrolling platformer with 16 stages.





It was recently finished, and is now a few weeks from kickstarter launch, which entails needing funds for making NES carts of the game, and getting it published onto other digital platformers. I'll try to answer questions about it and get in as many updates as possible in here.

The carts will be published by SoleGooseProductions and company.

Congrats! Count me in for a copy.

-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

Thanks everyone for being supportive.

I don't quite have the tiers planned out or even which digital versions will be available yet, but there will definitely be NES carts, boxes and manuals. Still organizing all of this stuff now that I am not working on the actual game so much.

Probably one of the most whimsically fun games that I have played since SMB. Very excited!

that's a pretty great way of describing it. The jumping feels so good, and there are a bunch of fun options and ways to experiment with the different moves

You gotta offer an NES ROM, you just gotta...

I updated the first post with the game's cover art.

I'm also going to be modifying the rolliegame.com soon, to make it a bit more organized, adding other images and details related to the game.

Sorry everyone. I have to delay the KS until mid-August.

Long story short, I am not going to pull off all the prepping and promo in time. My fault for giving a premature release date.
