This will be an in-depth, estimated 90 minute showcase that will show off the dramatic evolution of our NES development suite of tools. While most relevant to those who have used NESmaker, everyone is invited to see what we've been up to, and where we're going. Things are about to get wild...

Super humbled to get some great press on Bitmask Games and GGJ this year, but absolutely floored to see it made front page news! We all need a bit of good news these days, right? Kids coming together to make new NES games - what better news is there? :-)

Happy holidays! Continuing to toil away at out proverbial north pole on more tools to help bring new people to the retro development party :-) very early peek, but figured it made for a good holiday share! youtu.be/KvIUMEodmPc?...

Friends, I don't care how strong a person you are, but if you don't bawl uncontrollably at the loss of your faithful dog, you're probably incapable of love. Thank you for being the best companion a man could ask for for almost 2 decades, and teaching my kids to love animals. I'll miss you very much.

This is another trying day in a difficult week that's part of a hard month wrapped up in a rough year. But there are bright spots. When looking for local devs to see if they'd be interested in a #GGJ location at the studio, I accidentally found this. I hope everyone else finds a small win today too!

For those who may think it's a competition, we are SUPER excited for our friends at @gbstudiocentral.com that a mod was able to make a new tool for making NES games, too. Anything that brings more people to the party, I support! I hope folks will be excited for RetroGameForge, too - keep an eye out!

So, here I am on BlueSky. Lots of new developments coming to #NESmaker, so maybe this platform is part of a series of *new beginnings* :-)
