Glad I got my copy of Quest Forge last week! Thanks for the update.
 

Billionaire Banshee and Lucky Penguin are for sale at Mega Cat Studios. Cool!

They added a ton of stuff, along with Famicom/Super Famicom ports of some of their games.

8Bit Xmas 2018 is out like two weeks ago and I just saw.

Fork Parker's Crunch Out is now shipping. Preorders filling first though

Was anything new available at MAGFest? I didn't get a chance to drop by  

Getting ready for an update, what needs to go on the list beyond the things in the comments above?

Mostly some upcoming games like NEScape, Trophy, and Estoscerro. Paul from INL brought some new PCBs for expanded audio conversions, and then games that are already launched like Spook-O-Tron, MicroMages, Nebs & Debs, Rekt, and a handful of others
 

The Incident is sold out, and I believe production discontinued. Scramble is still available.

I'm not sure if this constitutes as a homebrew, or more of an unreleased prototype, but another game has been uncovered by the Oliver twins.. kickstarter is here
https://www.kickstarter.com/proje...

It's new to us!

 

I don't include unreleased protos on the list, although one of the past Oliver Twins' campaigns had a tier that had a homebrew; FamiDepth. It was a shame that they did not offer it separate from their own game. Nothing wrong with unreleased protos getting an official release, it is just beyond my interests and a different animal.

Can we really be sure the Oliver Twins aren't programming "lost" NES games on their own time at this point?

Hey, Anyone know whats up with Mystic Origins / Mystic Searches by Joe Granato? I ponied up $100 for the game awhile back but I've yet to hear from him. I was also under the impression that you get a Blu-ray of some sort but the guy just doesn't reply to my messages. Is he on these boards?

Official Kickstarter:

Looks like Lizard won that by a longshot lol. 

Also, can you get in contact with Joe. He's lagging it on these blu-ray DVDs that were "shipped" last year in December. Tons of people have yet to receive it and he swears they went out. Also, he isn't replying on Kickstarter so not sure whats up with the dude.
 

This may not be a satisfying answer, but Joe posted a lengthy update on Mystic Origins/Searches in January on the progress of these games as well as NESmaker. Here's a link to the relevant update: https://www.kickstarter.com/proje...

He seems to be trying to be as communicative as possible, given how thinly spread he is. At least he's not another Fonzie of Paprium infamy.
 

From the KS update it looks like the answer is that yes, he is sill working on it. I read some stuff on Facebook last week that seemed to imply otherwise, but it was a rather heated post over there, making his points unclear.

Yea, Fonzie is fucking over his entire enterprise with his no teasers mentality. Tulio already left and I feel bad for all the work that is going down the drain at Watermelon. They obviously have a lot of talent but Fonzie is ruining the little appeal thats left. I'm invested in both projects so it's a bummer to hear that Paprium is no where near complete with Project N put on the back burner. I spoke with the Art Director Luis Martins on Twitter and he let me know that Fonzie is still working on the game so I'm just crossing my fingers(and toes) that we'll hear from Fonzie soon. 
 
I can tell he's overwhelmed and I'm not trying to down play his efforts but I haven't heard from him since January so I thought I'd ask you all on here. I'm a patient guy so it's all good but I just don't like feeling avoided. He replied to my email with a copy and paste message which basically reiterated what I already read about on Kickstarter so I'll wait for his follow up.

Famidepth was like an adddition late on to their kickstarter and they only did a small number, like 10, IIRC. I got mine like three years later when one finally sold on ebay.

 

Mojonian Tales will be up on Infinite NES Lives tomorrow. Looks like a neat anthology.

I was a day off but here it is: https://www.infiniteneslives.com/...

Don't forget Candelabra Estoscerro on Kickstarter, just rolls of the tongue
https://www.kickstarter.com/proje...

Mega Cat has been posting new (?) games various places like mailing lists and Youtube. The Meating, Companion Cartridge, Machine Cave, Super Painter, Multidude, Almost Hero 2, Balls and Booty, Draiocht, High Noon Knockout. So much upcoming.

AdventureQuest is an ancient flash MMORPG that just announced an NES game on Kickstarter. Looks like a top down action adventure.

Not sure if this is actually an NESMaker game

In the campaign description it says they entered a demo in the NESmaker byte-off. I don’t think there is necessarily anything wrong with that, but it does make it feel.. different.. 

Yeah, just like hacks and repros, I have no interest in NESMaker stuff so they will not be included. Apples and oranges.

Not that I am disagreeing with you, but why so?  Do you see NESMaker games as a modification of an existing engine or assets i.e. just like a rom hack?
