This is a prototype for the Fast Travel / World Map Battle Engine in Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the NES and PC! We don't think we can squeeze any more out of the NES than this. (Well, maybe a *little bit* more...) Unmute your audio! #Pixelart #NES

Dev update for Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the NES and PC! (Unmute the video...) * Transition from realtime to turn based combat * Battle animations can now play simultaneously * Victory fanfare now plays at end of battle * Victory poses do as well #pixelart #indiegame

We all waited for 30 years for this game to become reality, and it's finally here! It was fully funded in less than 4 hours, but there are plenty of stretch goals left to go...

Music, SFX, and polish in Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the PC and NES! (Turn up your volume!) James is now a playable character, there are healing items, and more... We will blog soon on the details of our NES expansion audio that makes this possible. #nesdev #pixelart

We've been very busy working on the turn based combat engine for Former Dawn, an upcoming #RPG for the PC and NES! Watch the whole video; there's a lot going on! Yes, all of this is legal on the NES. No, this is not a mockup. This is our actual game engine! #nesdev #pixelart

Former Dawn dev update! Our NES game now has new style 8-directional animations and other content: * 16-frame walk & 12-frame run cycles * 3 unique blade slash attacks * Mountain Path & Cave areas * Crog enemy type (per tradition, color indicates strength) #RPG #IndieGameDev

We have made massive progress on the audio system for Former Dawn and MXM-1 in general. It's not quite ready to showcase, so in the meantime... Here's the world map! Everything is coming together in Former Dawn, an upcoming RPG for the NES and PC. #nesdev #pixelart

Sound effects demo for Former Dawn, a new RPG for the NES. (Turn up your volume!) Two custom (AD)PCM channels dedicated to SFX so that they can overlap AND not cut out the music. We're experimenting with custom compression algorithms, but what you hear does work. #nesdev #8bit

First draft of the game trailer for the crowdfunding campaign now done. After our composer writes the music for it, Former Dawn can go up for pre-launch! In the meantime, check out the direction we've gone in for the triple attack combo. (Still a WIP.) #nesdev #pixelart

Design for airship scene in Former Dawn, an upcoming RPG for the NES. (Still a WIP.) Buoyancy is provided by giant alien gas bag creatures (not shown due to cutaway). Humanoids provide propulsion via pedaling. Only The Organization has air power on Astraea. #RPG #pixelart

Wh...wh...what was in those tanks? A place that should not exist from Former Dawn, an upcoming Action RPG for the NES and PC. #indiegame #pixelart

Pre-Launch for Former Dawn is delayed because apparently we really should put at least a draft of the game trailer on it. Coming soon! Meanwhile, here's one of the animation sets that we're revamping; gives you more of an idea of what battle will look like. #nesdev #indiegame

Our plan was to Pre-Launch on Indiegogo in 2022; unfortunately we just learned there's a PL time limit. It's unclear but seems to be 90 days, which would force the campaign to launch by 03/31. We want to launch in April, so will delay the Pre-Launch a few days. Happy New Year!

Recent WIP collage for the new Jeku walking animations in Former Dawn, a new RPG for the NES. Sticking to 16-frame for these; planning on 12-frame for running. Per usual, these work on real NES hardware. Getting closer to viability for a playable demo... #nesdev #indiegame

Our dialogue system is now at the level of late 80s RPGs, but aiming at Star Control II or Planescape: Torment eventually. √ Arbitrary NPCs, portraits, & text √ Skippable text! √ NPCs turn to face you √ Left and right portraits √ Smoother sliding effect #nesdev #indiegame

Flamethrower attack for Ava, courtesy @FrankenGraphics. Works beautifully on a real NES and doesn't cause excessive sprite flicker due to great care being taken during its creation. Will be a powerful support move in Former Dawn, a new Action RPG for the NES! #nesdev #pixelart

Fleshed out more of the Town of Gerosch in #FormerDawn, an in-development Action RPG for the NES. Partially de-janked the running animations and added 2 more NPCs. Note the railing on the stairs in the Mayor's house. All of this works on real NES hardware. #nesdev #pixelart
