itch.io

There I found a way of removing the issue. Sorry again for that, but at least it won't be an issue for future customers. Send me your email with a proof it's you at admin@aeonstarinteractive.com and I'll send a little something your way as a compensation. 

Hey there! It's not meant to be misleading. It's an issue with how the sale is portrayed by the itch system. I want to give people 50% off the game, BUT since the game is bought in "layers", itch only show the first layer of sale. It's kind of weird. I'm thinking of a solution in the future. Sorry for any issues it caused you. 

Yes and no. The game was meant as a free standalone small adventure. However, we are contemplating reworking it as a better game later. Did you like it? 

Thanks a lot for playing! Happy you liked it. I understand what you mean about the size of it, but NES is very limited, especially with all the animations, sprites, etc. that makes up for the game's quality. We'll try to get better at optimizing to have more content! 

We'll be announcing really soon our next game. It will be a different kind of game, a retro PC game with 8-bits pixel art. However, we are also prototyping our next NES game too! Subscribe to our newsletter to get all these news: https://aeonstarinteractive.substack.com/

Hey there! Thanks a lot for playing.

Unfortunately, we only were able to fix the issue after the ROM went out. Our future games will be fixed on that point, and we'll try to think of a way to fix it for Steel Legion (next batch of cartridges maybe?). The update with a few minor fixes for the final ROM should come to itch soon. 

Thanks for the kind words! Happy you enjoyed it. That's why it exist! 

The map is pretty accurante, although it does work with screens which can be a bit tricky to see in the game where does the screen end and start. 

As for your skill in using them, that's something else :P

Thanks a lot! Happy you enjoyed the game. 

Wow thanks a lot! I completely forgot about that. You sir deserve a very high five. 

Thanks! Happy you liked it. 

Quoting François (main dev) from another comment: "The game was designed around the nes mapper 30 and from what I understand (I could be wrong) does not support traditionnal battery save, only self flashing save. Which means that if the emulator does not support flash save, in game saving will never work on this emulator until they release an update that support self flashing save. Sorry. We will update the itch page to make this more clear."

I'll check it out. Thanks for sharing and sorry for that. 

Thanks!

I was so sad the game ended and yet I enjoyed it so much. I haven't had this much fun in a long time, even for a full game. I really hope this gets finished at some point. Good luck to all your endeavours, whether this one or another. 

Thank YOU!

Thanks a lot for the grammar pass! Appreciated.

Yes finally happening! Thanks for following. 

That's very nice! Good job with both the tool and the game. Wish you luck in the NESDev Compo. 

How do you run the .nes rom right in the browser on itch? Do you lose performance or something? Does it run as good as on cartridge or emulator? Thanks!

Thank you! We're happy you liked it :) Don't miss the Kickstarter campaign launching in just a few weeks for the full digital and cartridge version!

Hey there! Thanks for playing and for the kind words. 

If you mean the first boss to the right, then yes! You need to find the grenade launcher also to break down some walls. Have you found that? 

Such a nice idea for an NES game. 

It's important to keep the "Nintendo hard"! No stress about being grumpy, we really value feedback, hence why some changes. 

We're stoked that you are stoked. Full release (with cartridge) will be beginning of 2024. We'll announce it here.

Hey thanks a lot @alexsilent! Next year it will be on cartridge and it will be even more awesome for the NES!

Finished it with a score of 145200. Was a very nice one, I loved it. I do question your sanity with regards to the platforming of the final level lol. I liked it so much we shared it in our own game newsletter since it's a perfect fit for halloween! Thanks for making this (and making it free!). 

Thanks for that oopsie! We'll fix it. 

Really happy you like it. 

This was very nice. I liked the atmosphere, the ui layout, the art, etc. I'd probably love to see more of the pictures in the center. I could barely see them. Maybe make them really transparent but not totally hidden? Also for ease of use, maybe have keyboard bindings to answer questions and be able to see each answers so you don't have to hover over each to check what it is. 

I'm guessing stuff like no real items, no way to interact with what you picked up, etc. is all not part of the build. Anyway I'm really digging this! 

Thanks for the gameplay video and we're glad you liked the demo! Stay tuned for the game release and join us on Discord or subscribe to our newsletter not to miss anything!
