Working on The Book of Rynn, a Dragon Quest-inspired jrpg for the NES!

If you're new here, The Book of Rynn is a new RPG in development for the NES console, inspired by classic 8-bit JRPGs like Dragon Warrior/Quest 1 to 4! Join our growing community and keep an eye out for a playable demo soon! #jrpg #nes #retrogames #indiegames #nesdev #homebrew

@Crossy_C98 Ha! Getting Chrono Trigger vibes from these characters

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@majd_rouhana I'm not sure how I feel about that reptile/dragon character tbh! Not because it's not human but I just feel the design looks a bit bland, but hey we'll see

Finally got a glimpse of #dragonquest 12 for #dragonquestday However, I was really hoping for a Zenithian trilogy HD2D so I'm leaving a bit sad! Oh well, maybe next time 😎

Some weeks ago I needed a break and spent a weekend making a black box-style cooking game for the NES. Here is ChopChop, enjoy all 5-10 minutes of entertainment: https://t.co/6zMUpw8DgG #nes #retrogames #nesdev #indiegames #gamedev

@ryusan_mmd You got to start with the hardest! Unpopular opinion, but DQ2 is my fav of the bunch. You just need to grind a little longer!

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@kryfton Thank you sm! 🙏

[sebotron @sebotron80]

Apologies for the radio silence: I've been catching up with bill-paying work for the past two weeks! I'll be back in the saddle shortly. Here's another 15 secs of random bits of our first story in the meantime! #jrpg #nes #indiegames #gamedev #retrogames #thebookofrynn

@fami_maga2 At this point they are putting them out faster than I can play them 😭

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@ktwfc I'd play a "micro" version of DQ on NES so hard!

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@JamesOphel28756 Agreed but it's so much more of a challenge with such a limited tileset 😅

[sebotron @sebotron80]

Do you love cave dungeons? I love cave dungeons! #jrpg #nes #indiegames #gamedev #retrogames #thebookofrynn

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@ninjadynamics "ps1 gfx" became "low poly, vertex wobble and bad textures" as younger devs started making them without experiencing ps1 back in the day. It's a vibe much more so than a triad of graphical quirks imo. Besides, unity+psxsplash you can make the real thing now.

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@claudiapirssss If you're into old DQ, i suggest you check out what I'm working on 😎

[sebotron @sebotron80]

Past me: balancing a retro rpg is easy!
Current me: 🤦‍♂️

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@sophicsheep Come to our Discord I'm dropping test builds over there 😎

[sebotron @sebotron80]

Filling up data files by hand is fun but I have to say, having editors is fun too! Just hammered this quick monster editor for Rynn. #jrpg #nes #8bit #nesdev #gamedev #indiegames #retrogrames #thebookofrynn

It is said that an old man lives in an ancient library at the top of the Tower of Damaris. The tower is surrounded by poisonous swamps and its lower floors are guarded by monsters. What wisdom will Torin find at the top? 🤔 #jrpg #nes #retrogames #indiegames #gamedev #8bit

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@sophicsheep I'll have a look! Tysm 🙏

[sebotron @sebotron80]

Sometimes I take breaks from gamedev and when I do, I often do more gamedev. Here's a quick and dirty experiment running on the SNES. A future Rynn game maybe? Ok back to real work. 🤭 #snes #nes #16bit #jrpg #gamedev #indiegames #retrogames

[sebotron @sebotron80]

@sophicsheep Actually never heard of Silva Saga! I hope I can find an English translation somewhere! Also I just grabbed some free tileset on opengameart for this😅
