NES Oddities and the Homebrew Revolution Kickstarter Live!

My newest book campaign is live on Kickstarter! It will not only cover obscure NES games, but also every NES Homebrew game I can find! Right now it's over 500 items just in the main book.

Also, due to space constraints, my second book with the Campaign: The Nintendo Entertainment System Compendium is going to consist of a gigantic interview piece with tons of people within NES homebrew community. I have reached out to a lot of programmers, coders, artists, musicians and even publishers all over the community. (If I haven't gotten in contact with you and you have had a hand in creating anything NES, shoot me a PM as I'm sure I missed a bunch of people!)

My intention with the homebrew aspect is to not only highlight the amazing work everyone is doing and document it in a more concise historical format, but also make more people aware that there is a community out there creating brand new games!

The campaign was funded in the first 2 hours, and it's on its way to the having enough to support the print run of the second book! Check it out and the more support it gets, the more I can do with the project!

So, do you need one more developer or a graphics artist to interview or for any other information?

I programmed a game called "City Trouble". (And once we finish the manual in that stupid Corel Draw program, it can finally go into production.)

It's a game mostly written in C. (Only some low level stuff is done in Assembly.)

And it's a typical jump'n'run, only with a shorter level complexity. (Complexity-wise it's closest to "Kung Fu", but gameplay-wise it's more like "Super Mario Bros.", "Mega Man", "Castlevania", "Contra" etc.)

And not only do I have tons of rendering time left, I also had a huge chunk of unused ROM that I filled with a digitized voice sample.
So, this game proves that you can do a decent sidescroller with C and that you're not limited to "Pong"- or "Space Invaders"-like gameplay, as many people like to claim.

I also had my co-worker do the graphics and the artworks:

If you want to know anything about the graphics, I guess I can connect her with you.

Absolutely and I played your game at MAGfest this year! PM incoming!

So we are getting into the final week. Please support if you can. Remember that I'm covering every NES Homebrew game that I can find and the idea is to help with exposure!
