With wonderful help from the N64 homebrew discord and .zoncabe for the code, I can show off progress for the N64 version of #QuestOfRaziya! Now with dialogue finally!

Going forward, Pyrite 64 will be my main engine #indiedev #gamedev #retrodev #sprytile #blender3D #N64 #JRPG #anime #Pyrite64

Merchant Shop update with the new UI style...
I'm not totally sure about it, but I'm considering display a message and turning the bill-of-sale RED when the player is trying to spend beyond their means.

Open to feedback on this one... anyone have thoughts?
#gamdev #indiedev #retrodev #nes #ui
Merchant Shop mockup, named of shop is "Pint's Fine Suits", showing a little village with containers of wares. A bill of sale show the available environment suits, TerraSuit, AstroSuit, RadSuit. Merchant Shop mockup. The bill of sale show one (1) Terrasuit has been added to the purchase, but the player does not have enough Chipse. An alert message is display and the bill is shown in RED.

Testing village mockup, and dialog drop-down mockup.
Did a bunch of variations, and this color feels best so far. Intending to have the dialog window drop down, pretty much exactly as it does in Final Fantasy (NES).

#gamedev #ui #retrodev #indiedev #nesdev #art
Village map with shallow streams and bridges, trees and grass, three NPCs and shops, surrounded by rocks. Village mockup with dialog drop-down window, which reads Briggin, villager, says "Hydrogenite Chipse can be found everywhere. It grows on flora and fauna alike. Most locals use it as a form of currency." >

New mockup for battle mode. Going for a cleaner look that goes along with the general look of the status bar update for the world map.

World map has been greyed out to open up palette options for the user interface.

#gamedev #retrodev #indiedev #nesdev #jrpg #battle #art
Hyperdrive Soul battle screen mockup. NES palette. Shows a greyscale world map with windows layered on top. One shows an enemy named "Bullfrogue", which shows a picture of a frog-like creature with three eyes. One windows shows status text, describing the actions and damage dealt. One window shows command options available to the player as follows... Attack, Gauntlet, Equip, Item, Run.

Well, it doesn't look like anyone is interested in doing a collab with me on the Christmas demo of Quantum Hop 2 - so i'll be releasing it myself. Maybe i'll make a mock magazine to get a similar effect?

Oh goodness, another late night and on a school night to boot. But, I’ve got a demo of Quantum Hop 2 ready, and …

Remember how BITD there used to be Christmas themed demos? Well, I’ve done that. Now I guess I need to find a magazine to partner with for the full effect #IndieDev #RetroDev

Christmas Game: works end to end. Fancy win sequence added. Might get new title music. Need to finalise SFX, wire in the rest of the rooms (some new door behaviour is needed for the last two), make the high score website and itch page.

While I'm tinkering away at engine tech for my game, HypderDrive Soul, I'm also mocking up some ideas for status bar display. Compact display for exploration and detailed status when paused. Also- alert display at bottom for game events!

#nesdev #retrodev #gamedev #coding #mockup #ui
Compact status bar display for exploration the world map, including player name, level, health, charge, currency, and status effects. Detailed player status on Pause screen showing Name, Level, Experience, progress to next Level, Health and Max Health, Charge and Max Charge, Battery Type, Agility, Strength and Tech stats, Currency, Status Effects, Gear, and Gauntlet Upgrades.
