I finally finished my SMW hack (which I'll upload soon in the appropriate topic), and started on a new project using the Megazeux program (which I haven't touched in about 9 years!) It seems the newest version (2.81) works great on my PC, so I thought: why not start a video game releated game?

It is an action/RPG based on the exploits of an NES collector. You can choose to be male or female, both with different paths to take.

Here are some screenshots after a day's work:

A "mock" battle:

The game will include a mention to every NES game ever made, and you can use most of them in battle (the others will give you out of battle abilities)! The game will feature a bunch of NES music and sound effects, too.

So... tell me what you think. Good idea? Stupid idea? Have any suggestions? Let me know!

That's too much. I'm assuming the rares are harder to obtain?

You should try making a game with an actual story and premise, since you appear to have at least the basic skills needed.
It just feels like, if I could make a game, would I spend so much time with an idea like this?

I have. It's called the Doomsday Dream Legend series, which I made waaay back in 1997, which are due for a remake very soon. This is just a fun little project I've wanted to do for awhile.

I think it's a fun idea that has a lot of potential. I'll definately try it when you finish. (:

Wow! This sounds like one of those impossibly staggering Megazeux projects that awes everyone and then gets completely cancelled. There were a lot of those back in the day.

Hopefully this one will turn out different, because the ambitious Megazeux stuff that did get finished was damn good. (Am I still the only one who has played Bernard the Bard?)
