My 6502 microprocessor emulator and assembler.

You can try it out here: 

This Saturday we had the chance to showcase Bonds at the Expo Geek Chile 2014 and we had such a great time! A lot of people played the game and gave us feedback! It was incredible!

But there was also a group of people who didn’t have the chance to play it. We only had 1 computer running the game so only one person was able to try the game at a time. People started asking if there was a demo or something they could download and play at home… and well, we didn’t have that….

I created a small flappy bird clone that can be played in a real gameboy!

Here you can get the rom and also play it in an online emulator:

Here is the source code (it's written in C and compiled using GBDK):

Bonds Teaser.

EXTREME MINI MASSACRE is a small roguelike shooting 13KB game made for JS13KGAMES 2014 compo. I wanted to make a fast paced game were all you had to do was shoot and dodge.

My main inspiration where 3 icon games:

- Hotline Miami by Dennaton Games

- Nuclear Throne by Vlambeer

- Binding of Isaac by Edmund McMillen

Development

The tools I used for developing this games were:

- Sublime Text 3

- Grunt

- Photoshop

- as3fxr + jsfxr + ArcadeAudio

First I started making some tests on raycasting using an old demo I made I while ago. I only used this for the light effect. I wanted to use it for bombs too but because of time issues I couldn't.

After discarding my work like 3 o 4 times I started coding the game it self. I actually spent about 3 days in whole development of the final game. 

When I was submitting my game I noticed the submission form wasn't working for my zipped game. I guess the compress task of grunt wasn't generating a valid file. So I went ahead and compressed it with OSX default zip compressor. For a moment I got scared, the final zip file was 17 KB! I thought maybe OSX compression sucks. I tried this cool site called zipmenow and the final result was even better than grunt's compress. The final file was about 12.5KB.

I wanted to spare the final bytes of my game for some music. I was thinking on something like Die Antwoord's Baby's on fire.  Sadly I couldn't do it but I hipe I can add something like it for a post-compo version.

The Good

I feel the final result is very fluent and fun. I really enjoy how small effects can make a dull game look alive. 

I didn't think I would be able to fit all I did in a file with such limitations. Sadly I wanted to add so much more but time and size didn't allowed me.

The Bad

I had to rewrite the game like 4 times. I really wanted to program it the "correct way" but as a started to add more features I noticed I couldn't go my way so I went the bad way. This means the code of the game is horrible! I was actually embarrassed of making it public in GitHub.

There are some very bad collision problems I wasn't able to fix mostly because of how badly the game was coded and If I had made any change It would've exploded in my face.

What's next?

I want to keep developing this game. I am actually thinking porting it to Monkey-X at publish it for a platform I've never worked on PSM for PS Vita. I actually started porting my previous game, Nigo's Cave, but never finished it. You can see a video of it here.
