itch.io

Sorry to necro an old post, but I just ran into this situation and worked around it.
My cursor disappeared in full-screen mode, so I opted to force the game into windowed mode. I created a file called override.cfg in the same folder as the executable. In override.cfg, I added the following line:

display/window/size/fullscreen = false

YES!

That'd be lovely!
Will do!

Thank you!
Yes, the plan is to continue with the debuffs on attack concept for the character. Hearing that you wanted more after the demo ended is the best compliment!

I WILL MAKE A CARTRIDGE OF THIS
...WITH A BOX
...AND A MANUAL
...AND MAYBE A MINI STRATEGY GUIDE IF I CAN MAKE IT WORK ECONOMICALLY

Adorbs!

That's so awesome!
Did you see the game at Reclaim or Hashtag?

That is so awesome! Thank you!
I'm sorry it took me so long to respond to your email last week.

Oh wow, Wulden! That's super awesome! And thank you for the complements on the game! I always felt like the Zapper was underutilized, so it was fun trying to breath a little more "meat" into a Zapper game.

1) Regarding the score, I think the behavior after 65,535 is a bug. I wrote the game in C and compiled down to assembly. Ostensibly, score is stored in an unsigned long and there is some code that caps the value at 9,999,999, but I haven't closely analyzed that assembly produced by that code.

2) Danger Levels are uncapped. The limitation, as you observe is basically human limits versus the time limit.

If you'd like, I'd be willing to share the source code with you to help do your achievement setup. Email me at robbie@skyboygames.com and I can set you up.

Heyo! The manuals for Fire and Rescue and Gunhawk are up on itch now. Enjoy! :)

Good idea!
I can make that happen. I'll try to get it up sometime this week. If it's not up by the end of the week, poke me in case I got side-tracked.

That is a perfectly rational response!

Oh, that's quite strange!

I'll email you to work out what's up.

It's a pretty good time. I've been around the block a fair bit on C/C++ game dev, so the nesdoug.com tutorials were a great fit for me. I like being able to / having to break rules of "good" coding practice to make things work on the NES.

Ha! Thank you for playing and trying the Konami code.
Orphea was my first attempt doing something on the NES. I thought it was just going to be a little weekend lark, but I enjoyed making NES games so much that it's now a thing I do regularly.

Oh awesome! I'm sorry I missed it. I'll have to check it out in the VOD!

This is my first time hearing of it. But that looks interesting.
I wonder what approach their using exactly and how hard it would be to implement directly into my game.
Hmmm...

Ha ha! Yes!
I was actually there last Tuesday to meet with the owner and gift them these games. I looove their 80's living room space.

Thank you! That was the exact vibe I was going for!

The emulator core is fixNES ( https://github.com/FIX94/fixNES )

I'm writing the UE5 integration code myself. If you'd like to see the code (with the understanding that it's super prototype-y and messy right now), DM me on Twitter.

When I was testing, I was using OS Version 2.15. Could that be it?
Once I'm done with the convention this weekend, I'll try changing my OS version and see if that reproduces the bug.

Hi Joe,

I just picked up an Everdrive N8-Pro and the Zapper seems to be working on mine. Do you know which version of the OS you're running? You can check it by hitting SELECT at the Everdrive menu and selecting Device Info.

You should be able to select the gamepad control method by pressing Select then Start at the input selection screen. Select and Start are usable in all menus that let you make a choice.

Incidentally, depending on the emulator you use, you may be able to tweak settings to allow mouse clicks / screen touches to emulate lightgun zaps. That's what I do with the copy of FCEUX bundled in the zip file version of Gunhawk.

Thank you!
I definitely appreciate the heads-up.

Interesting.
I have an Everdrive N8 I use for testing, but I don't have an N8-Pro, so I'm not familiar with N8-Pro specific features. I don't suppose there are some settings in the N8-Pro that could be a factor. Would I be correct in presuming that your Zapper is plugged into controller slot 2?

Also, regarding the Zapper not working. Are you getting any response when you pull the trigger? If so, does it flicker the screen to black when their are targets on the screen (either in the 2-choice menus or when enemies are on screen)? 

Last aspect to check, what type of device are you playing the Everdrive on? Is it a stock NES or a third-party machine like a Retron? Is the device plugged in directly to a CRT TV or does it go through another device along the way?

Sorry for the volley of questions. These are just what came up as I started thinking about what might be going on.

I'm sorry to hear that. Unfortunately, I don't have control over what payment methods this site offers...

It uses NROM, i.e. mapper 0.

I will be doing an official physical release later (hopefully before the year is out), but let me know if you have any trouble getting it onto the donor cart.

There are some bugfixes and the main character has a new sprite.
You can use the old sprite by holding the B button during the title screen.

And the time limit goes down with every world 7 loop, until clearing stages isn't humanly possible.

Thank you for the video!
You are a true Scholar and a Gentleman.

Awesome! Thank you for the review!
I'm so glad you enjoyed the game!

Oh my gosh, that is so awesome!

The Speed Running Community is crushing it. Crushing it, I say!

Holy Crud, that's so awesome!

I better signal boost this so you have some competition. :)

Nice! I love it

For real?
That's so cool!

Oh thank you so much! 
I don't have plans to continue Orphea itself specifically, but I have lots of other games in the oven for NES.  Some of the ideas are definitely influenced by lessons learned from Orphea.

Oh, thank you so much!
That makes me really happy to hear that.

Thank you! We're getting close. Doing QA and last minute bug fixes right now.

For sure!

It's slow going because there's so much on my plate, but this one should be ready real soon.

Thanks!
