As for chatting we have a Discord server. Decided ages ago to go with Discord instead of IRC or Matrix as it is way more popular nowadays, notably in gaming circles. Integration in game of the Discord chat would technically be possible but a bit clanky to use with a NES controller. Support for the family basic keyboard could be a fun solution but there are so few units in the wild that it would not be practical.
There is a variant of the NES cart for Genesis in the work (search for rainbow-net on github to get the technical documentation,) and there is a game named "1985 World Cup" with working Wi-Fi feature (with a specific cart just for that game I think.)
No platform-fighter yet though. I won't do it because maintaining one game already keeps me quite busy but I'd like to see it come to life too 🤩
There is a new character in the work, and some more planned. As well as new mechanics, balance, and other content. Super Tilt bro. development is steady.
Pick the one(s) of your liking. The devlog is focused on patch notes and from time to time articles about the development. The Discord is where the community meets for jabber, tourneys, and some out of topic talks. The twitter is between both as it relates patch notes and notable community events.
If you took the Super_Tilt_Bro_(E).nes from this page, it is a "mapper 30" ROM (also named UNROM-512 sometimes.) You may have to update your everdrive's firmware to run it. Obviously, you won't have online functionality since the everdrive does not have an embeded wi-fi chip.
If you took the .nes from the Linux/Windows/MacOS version, it is incompatible with the everdrive
In the online menu, the "Settings" section has an "Update" entry. It is deactivated on emulator but will dowload the latest version and reprogram your cart with it on physical version.
In case something would go wrong, you will have the option to reset to the factory version.
There is no clear plan to add a grappler soon but the needed mechanics are comming so it will be a possibility. Projectiles will come first with next planned characters 😉
https://sgadrat.itch.io/super-tilt-bro should play it as usual. If it fails to boot correctly please tell me which browser you use and what is its version number.
Yes, it's by design down tilts and special are out of shield moves. Also Pepper is the only char who can start a combo on an opponent on her back while she's in shield (down-spe into foward-tilt.)
Also, a jump can cancel the end of the shield vanishing animation, but unlike down attacks, it does not skip the entire animation.
I love your animations! The character is really nice! 🤩️
After a year, it still hard to build the game. No worries, I got you covered :)
The character exceeded the 16 KB size limit, so I had to butcher your animations to remove frames for shrinking it into a ROM. Anyway it still look great!
Certainly not what you had in mind movement wise, but these thing require tuning and being able to build the game to test changes. I have plans to make it easier, but priorities shifted, so it will not happen in near future. It is impressive you got that far without being able to test your mod!
You will need to download the normal windows version (super-tilt-bro-windows.zip) to get the ".nes" file from its "rom" folder. Then open the .nes with the emulator above. It should work, and you should be able to go online.
If it works, I'll find a way to include it in next release so you don't have to care about 32/64 bits emulators.
Yes you need a nes to run the physical game. We put a cheaper reward with only digital OST and a comic with a small story featuring the game characters if you really want to help but don't need the cart ♥️
(The game here will stay free and kept up to date. We really sell the carts.)
Haha, that's cool. Sorry for the late reply. I love your analyse of characters, exactly the kind of feedback I lack the most. Thank you!
About lgbik, I won't pick it in the official build because I am really touchy with which character should make it to the main roster. But, I admit he is promising and would fill a hole in the current cast. Did you know the game can be modded, we even have a character editor: https://benoitryder.github.io/stb-mod-editor/#/ for now it is quite technical to build the game after creating a character in the editor, but I could personally help with that when you are happy with the character in the editor ;)
