Hello everyone, I am a NES/FC player from China, and also a game producer. I like a game platform called Famicom very much, what left me wonderful memories in my childhood. I had always hoped to develop a my own game, now my dream has came true finally; I spent nearly 2 years to develop a NES game, what can really run game cartridge on NES（not Famicom）, called Star Keeper. It is a shooting game with horizontal scroll version, the game's leading role carries a jet-propelled backpack flying in th sky, and struggles to find the lost stars back. He will meet all kinds of enemies against him on the way. I hope you could like this game;
 
I know that there are a lot of users on NA forum who have a bad impression FC game made in China, but I can understand it, it is because many pirate FC games and sham products are produced in China. However please get assured, Star Keeper is totally a original game.
I had spent much time on this game and taken me a lot of money and effort. The game graphics and programs are designed all by myself, and game music is made by a composer. This is a real and complete original homebrew NES game, hoping everyone could respect what I did when you submit your comments on forum.

I would like to talk about my English, my English writing ability is very poor, the reading ability is of average level, I can understand 80% of the postage on the bulletin board system. But it is impossible for me to say what I want to say in English. So in answering the questions put forward by the netizens, I can turn to the translation web if it is simple, but when it comes to some complicated questions, such as those needed to explain the details, the only way I can think of is to find a translator, but it is way to expensive,in order to save money, in order to save money, sometimes I have to use the translation web, so I hope that you can forgive me for that. If the players have some advice for the game, I may not be able to answer it, not because I don`t want to, but my poor English ability, so for all the advice put forward by the players, I will take them as much as possible, but I may not respond to all of them.
Thanks for your support.

My English is not good enough to read posts on forum, there a lots of behaviors I cannot understand well, so that I'd like to ask you to do me a favor for resolving following doubts.
1.       Why do not people put homebrew game on Ebay to sell?
2.       Can I put my game on Ebay to sell?
3.       Should I release my game information on The Brewery or Seller's Forum? Which one would help me to improve game sales?
4.       What does CIB mean?
 
This game will be launched in 2014, so stay tuned.

Many thanks to the following two heroes

We could not imagine how long it will take for this game’s emerging from the water without your sound engine published at famitracker.com; your sound engine is suitable for this Star Keeper game, which is also easily modified and has powerful functions.

Without the powerful JCIC, everything is impossible.
 
About PAL standard
The game runs on NES console of American version by default, and the running speed will be slower at PAL standard consoles.
Because I don’t have PAL standard consoles of European version, so I couldn’t guarantee that it can run properly on consoles of European version. If you insist on playing at the PAL standard consoles, you must re-set JCIC, and as to how to set up, you can refer to JCIC setting video of N8 card, and you may need to press the RESET button several times (Note that no LED of JCIC soldering on PCB).

I think some gamers find it difficult because they have not mastered flying skills,
If you need quick acceleration forward, you should press [Left or Right] + B, press the [Left or Right] + B when you need a sharp turn

update 12/18/2014
copy #74 has been put on the ebay

photo：

1. People have sold homebrew games on Ebay, but most people use distributors that use all new parts such as RetroUSB.com and Infiniteneslives.com

2. Yes you can sell it on Ebay.

3. I don't think it really matters, most people who are interested in purchasing homebrew NES games will visit this Brewery section.

4. Depending on who you ask it can mean C=Cartridge I=Instructions B=Box or Complete In Box (which would include any inserts etc that might be distributed with the game).

Thank you very much

This looks really cool! I'd buy a copy!

I would have to say, that is one professional styled game! Very nice! I really like the graphics!

One thing to note: the title screen in the game says "Star Keepr" instead of "Star Keeper". I know the game is still a work in progress, but if anything, I actually kinda like the misspelling. It makes it stand out a bit.

All I can say is keep up the good work!

thank you, you find a big bug

No problem! I wouldn't say it's anything major, as everything else looks very well put together. Again, I love the art and graphics, and I would love to see a final release sometime! 

Is support the project and buy one as long as it's not for sale for 1billion yen or something weird
. Just a note. There seems to be a health bar but no scoring system? Am I missing the score? Does a scoring system add playability?
Put me down for a cib or if it's only a cart release. I'm still in

The game looks quite fun. Nice work!

I liked the music and style of gameplay. The last bit was cool too. It looked like the entrance near the end of Zelda II.

I'd love to buy a copy when you release this, as many here would. Keep us posted.

Im in. I'd buy it off eBay if that is where it was listed.

The game looks great! I will be watching for this one, and would buy a copy.

Sign me up for cib when its out

Looks neat!

This looks great! I would also buy this wherever it was for sale. Sent you a PM!

Nice looking game!

Nice, looks great fun, link the ebay page here if you decide to list them

ok, bug fixed

Why did you remove your video? I was looking forward to checking this out. *edit* nevermind...it appears it was just gone for a few minutes for me, it is back now.

...this looks really charming! Great job! I love the fat hopping bunny.

Nice looking game!

there is a bug, link of video is fixed

Very nice looking game.

Looks sharp! Great job : D

Great looking game!! Very well put together. Can't wait to play it for myself.

Looks well done, cool idea - would be interested

Looks sweet to me! I'm down for a copy and would love to beta test the game to find more bugs. That's kind of my thing.
