Well, it took more than a few weeks, but I finally posted a video of the editor in action

Thanks :)

Finally got around to making a video of the editor in action.  Also, we got into PAX Rising, so we'll be showing off Super Retro Maker at PAX South this January!

Happy Halloween everyone from the Super Retro Maker team!

Hello, just wanted to share a gameplay video of one of the styles we haven't shown before.  Also, we're currently giving away an SNES Classic to help raise awareness about Super Retro Maker, see the website for details:

Thanks!  I plan to show off the editor in a few weeks, I'll be sure to post here.

Thanks, it would be an honor to be featured here!

Thanks!  We're sticking pretty close to the NES palette, which helps achieve that look.

Progress
I'll post some in depth looks at the game and our progress over the next few months.  For now, here is some artwork from the various different gameplay styles:

Got it, thanks!

Thanks for the response. I couldn't figure out how to "redeem" the download key in the app or otherwise get the app to manage my game. If I go to the download page in the app, it just downloads the zip file and doesn't try to install it. I was able to generate and redeem a key outside of the app, but then I don't get updates or an itch api key passed to my game. What am I missing?

Thanks,

Dan

Is this possible or will it be possible soon?

Thanks,

Dan
