Workflow from title screen to starting a new story is in place! Next: insert a prologue and start implementing our first story: The Royal Seal! #jrpg #nes #nesdev #retrogames #gamedev

Started work on the title and game start menus. Mundane stuff but necessary! The first story is also slowly taking shape w/ new maps and new characters. Can't wait to share more! #nes #jrpg #thebookofrynn #indiegames #gamedev #retrogames

@wiz4_werdna I never understood the struggle, you get free heals right next to that area. Spend a couple hours grinding levels and voila and Hargon is toast!

ドラクエⅡでロンダルキアへの洞窟を抜けてすぐに全滅したという話は見かけるけど、ほこらに気づかずに画像の場所から左に行ってしまったという話は見かけない。 当時の人は、ほこらの存在を攻略本や雑誌などで事前に知っていたのだろうか？

@dale_coop I'm working with MMC3 w/ the lower banks used for data and shared utils and the higher banks for systems. I would say bank management has been by far the biggest pain point, especially for a first project with no prior NES dev experience. 😅

Still hunting for free space >_< You just want to add a new feature… but first you have to shuffle around half your banks like a Tetris. Ahh… the joys of NES dev 😅 Anyone else painfully familiar with this? #NES #homebrew #nesdev #NESmaker #indiegames #gamedev #ファミコン

@roninrebornapp Yes! The first four games on the NES are the main inspo for the project 😎

@sebotron80 Looks kind of like Dragon Warrior from the original Nintendo.

Our battle system is very close to complete. We *need* testers able to try any and all commands, spells, items and break the game so we can find and fix every single issue. If you love RPGs from the 8-bit era, we need your help! #jrpg #nes #gamedev #indiegames #retrogames

Bar a few bug fixes, the Book of Rynn is now feature complete. The road to the demo: story writing, maps, sprites, scripting, music, sfx and none of it will be revealed until it's ready so I may post less until then. Join us on Discord to try it first! #gamedev #jrpg #nes

@cyxodus I think you found us already 😎🙏

@sebotron80 Very cool. How does one sign up?

@girubon I'm working on something you might like!

ドラゴンクエストIV 導かれし者たち 1990年2月11日発売 初めて発売日に買ったドラクエ！ 模写にハマってキャラ達描いてたなぁ☺️ 仲間集まった馬車のテーマ曲が好き！ 他の音楽も素晴らしい👍！ カジノコインバグも懐かしい🤗 AI戦闘がもどかしかった！ 語り尽くせないなぁ！ 皆さんは遊んでましたか？😉✨

Battle spells are finished, battle items are on the way. I started working on this game about a year ago and we are almost feature complete, ready to enter the content phase and start working on the public demo, which will feature the entire first story. The excitement is unreal!

Battle spells are coming along! Also implemented critical hits, pre-emptive strikes, parry, evade and many other battle mechanics. Do you wanna try the game while we're building it? Join us on Discord! #jrpg #nes #retrogames #gamedev #indiegames

Recently lost my map editor after wiping my main drive in a hurry. The previous one was heavy and Python+QT based so not very transportable. I redid it in Typescript+Vite. Now it runs in the browser! It's much less clunky and loads the same .chr and .pal files as the game uses!

@TheRetroRoomRoo The hardest part is resisting the urge to start a new one 😅

Guilty 🤭😬

@spacebot_dev @modretro @GBStudioDev @CowboyBumbiss This looks so good! I love the coloring!

We’re very excited to announce that the sequel to Dragonyhm is officially in development! A new chapter is beginning, and we can’t wait to share more with you. 🐉🔥 #dragonyhm #dgy #modretro #gbstudio #indiegame #indiedev @modretro @GBStudioDev

Our first battle dev build is out! If you want to help test The Book of Rynn and fight Sillygoos and grind your way to fighting the stronger Goofygoos, join us on our Discord! Link in bio :) #jrpg #thebookofrynn #nesdev #nes #indiegames #retrogames #gamedev

Preliminary XP curves for all archetypes. The game will have a hard level cap of 30 but each story will be completable around a lvl 20 soft cap. Looking forward to the balancing headaches! Join us on Discord, we'll need people to test the grind soon! #nesdev #gamedev #jrpg

@ninjadynamics yo dawg

I have a PC inside my PC! 😊 Learn how to setup PCem! It's well worth it!

The work on our battle loop continues! Added a turn order calculation based on actors dexterity and a random % variation as well as a simple attack evade calculation based on the dexterity gap between the attacker and defender. #jrpg #nesdev #indiegames #gamedev

Hope y'all are having a nice New Years Eve! We're ending 2025 closer than ever to The Book of Rynn finally becoming a reality and I couldn't be happier to share this with you all. Happy New Year everyone, stay warm and safe, and here's to releasing The Book of Rynn in 2026! 🥳

@momolitoOo @johndostudio Oué monsieur!
