I figured I'd give it a shot , and yeah. You can't really do much with an 8x8 square.

YAY I LOVE ROM HACK TALK TELL ME MORE

Chojin · #**16903**

i once started hacking a friday the 13th rom into being about mcdonalds

i also replaced the torch weapon with hot coffee and gave it to all the characters

if someone ever wanted to finish it, i still have the rom

k0k0 · #**16904**

Wow, that is actually really good. I'd end up ruining it by making the girl at the bottom naked and ronald naked and the hot coffee a penis.

my last copy of the rom is from november 2008. i have no idea how to dick with pointers or palettes anymore.

i remember hex and a lot of trial and error was involved.

k0k0 · #**16906**

I usually use a trace logger if I'm going to be changing properties like health and it really is some trial and error. You gotta break the game sometimes in order to get it to do what you want. Palettes are the easiest part but pointers are hard. The fun part is the actual editing of the graphics. Text isn't really something I like editing but if I do, I'm thorough. I changed every piece of text in Earthbound Zero when I made Red Rocket.

yeah i feel like i should finish it, but that was like 3+ years ago (actually i think it was a lot more than that) and i worry that learning how to hack nes roms again would be a complete waste of time when i'm already making actual new games

k0k0 · #**16908**

I wouldn't get back into nes rom hacking if you're making new games. It really does go nowhere unless you enjoy doing it, which I do. Once I'm good enough at java, I'm going to stop making nes hacks and start making original games though.

So what kind of games are you working on now, Chojin?

Fathom Zero · #**16911**

max payne mods

Nick · #**16912**

You mean that Marathon mod? I thought he was finished with that.

k0k0 · #**16913**

I was modding Daggerfall at one point, but god damn there was way too much text in the game and I got overwhelmed with it.

i'm gay about the 90s the way rog is gay about the 80s

Nick · #**16918**

What's the game play like? It reminds me of joust mixed with the matrix with ninjas.

Otto · #**16919**

I remember writing an extremely detailed plan for an Earthbound hack, downloading all of the tools to go about it, and then realizing that I had no idea what the fuck I was doing and gave up. And to think I laughed at the clueless oldsters in my required "intro to computers course" that I was too stoned to test out of.

captain516 · #**16920**

Is that one of them CDI games?

If I get the boxed version, can I mail in the UPCs and get a Yamaha stereo or Casio keyboard? A pair of roller blades?

that's pretty much it

that's video of the gameplay, though i'm going to add a VS mode too. maybe also release it for windows mobile phones since I'm writing it in C#/XNA 4.0.
