When I see a promising homebrew, my heart strings attach to it, I guess that's just how it goes if you're a fan of the NES (gimme Owlia now!!).
The downfall of my former NES dev endeavors was the overblown perfectionism I had going on. The two projects could never live up to the vision of them I had in my mind. Wellp, I think I've learned to chill the f out about that.
I could be working on SBP now, but in hindsight it was probably a good decision to go with an NROM project to test the waters with my partner. There's only so much you can do with NROM and if anything goes wrong with cartridge production it won't hurt as much as you've only spent months on it instead of years.
There's nothing I can say to relieve the disappointment. My goal is still to finish a game for the NES and I think I'm getting there.
Good to hear from you!
I get the sense that anything you put out, even if it is subpar by your standards, would exceed the expectations of a lot of the fans of your work. But at the same time, you have to be true to yourself and try to work to the quality of what you're capable of. It's a fine line for sure.
What I'm trying to get at is that I just want to see more of your NES projects, whatever they may be!
