This looks great. Speaking for myself, I have no problem with rom-hacks, I am just more partial to and supportive of games created from the ground up. I couldn't do what you do---I have difficulty reading other people's code (but I put up with it or I wouldn't be able to do my job, or learn new things as a hobbyist...). I find rom-hacks very impressive. I am not comfortable financially supporting them, however. Gladly would play the rom though. Great work!

...this is a hack of Castlevania 2?

just watched the gameplay video ... Such amaze! Do Want!

Looking good. I'm liking the look of the enemies in your game and how it looks as though the main character can fire in 8 directions.

Tagging this!

This looks sooooo good!

So there's an Interest Check over in Collector's Corner for an 11" x 17"  full bleed Pyronaut posters.
(Professionally printed, not desktop printed)



I had the idea for the posters a while back, and finally got to around to putting pen to paper and making them a couple of weeks ago.

Proceeds will be split between myself and Optomon, with Bishop Bros. getting a cut for distributing the posters, since I don't live in the U.S. Hopefully, it'll help me produce the fully illustrated Beastiary I'd like to include in an eventual cart release.

I actually studied illustration in university, so it's nice to finally have a chance to do some videogame related work. Here's hoping I can count on some of ya'll to support my art habit.

Bump for awesomeness!

Any progress on this? Looked very promissing at the time of the last update...

Thanks. Graphics work for it's temporarily on hold as I tend to catch up on some other things. Been dying to get back to it though. Should happen very soon. Optomon may chime in on the programming side.

Progress has significantly slowed on this during the summer, mainly for personal reasons, but should rapidly pick up in a month or so after getting all other side projects done and out of the way. And their isn't too much left as far as initially putting stuff into the game is concerned. It will need a CRAP load of maintenance however once all is drafted.

This looks great looking forward to it!

Any Updates?

Nah, not yet. Been wrapping up another intense project. Need to get back on this and shell it out though.

Yes... Yes you do!

Any news here?

We touched base last week. Officially on hold until finishing another project. Will definitely keep updates posted as they come along though.

I support this project. The game looks like a totally original game. The whole thing is just cool. Keep up the progress.

I need me some Pyron to go with my poster...

Yeah i need this! Whats the status?

Pyron, Pyron, Pyron... Pyron

Thanks for the continued interest.
Current update: Optomon and I started a side project earlier in the year, but that didn't pan out (will likely grow into something one day). I just finished up a rather exhaustive contribution to a project for next year's Cowlitz Expo, and then I need to get back on Isolation. It will take top priority, and hopefully after, I can me back to Pyronaut for the few months it would take for me to finish my end of it. In the mean time, I've heard Optomon is working on some very promising things. But for the moment, Pyronaut needs to wait until some other projects wrap up.

I really want to see this hack done. This looks really cool and awesome!

I saw this running at PRGE, but Optomon was too neat of a guy to talk to so I didn't focus on the game much. It was super impressive though!
