Dol op dit: @okimpala.bsky.social werkte jarenlang aan een romhack voor Final Fantasy Adventure, om zo een eigen vervolg in elkaar te zetten. Het resultaat voelt als ie ts dat Square in de jaren '90 had kunnen uitbrengen en draait zelfs op een Game Boy. www.unpause.nl/verhalen/act...

Also recently wrapped up the Amida’s Curse romhack from @okimpala.bsky.social, and it’s so so good. The changes are extremely smart, well implemented, and not obsessed with being “hardcore” or overly difficult. Some of the dungeon design is fantastic with some real surprises. Very worth checking out

My review is: Final Fantasy Adventure is one of my favorite—if not my ABSOLUTE favorite—Game Boy games, and Embers of Mana makes it completely redundant and unnecessary. It just clears its inspiration in every way. This is the “real” first Mana game for me, now. If you like Mana then play it.

I am about 3 hours into this and it is EXTREMELY well done. I love the original Seiken Densetsu and this is not just a love letter to that but the entire Mana series. I think this will be a ROM hack people are talking about for a while to come.

Stories from Danger's Den @dangersden.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Hi! I'm Kathy and I'm making Stories from Danger's Den, the game that randomly generates adventures, each in its own unique world. I'm still at work making it better. Follow me to keep up with my progress! Also check out the official Danger's Den blog: dangersden.net

Title screen of Stories from Danger's Den. It has a plain black background. The title text is in fancy lettering by Not Jam. The menu options, centered below the title, are New Random Story, Continue, Enter Story ID, Options, and Quit. In the bottom left corner, some gray text reads: Alpha 5 pre-release.

Screenshot of Stories from Danger's Den, an eight bit style game with a top-down view. In this shot of the overworld, a paladin in pink armor roams a valley where two rivers wind. The paladin is about to cross the first bridge. To the west, beyond the second bridge, is a town.

Screenshot of a bustling woodland town in Stories from Danger's Den. A soldier wearing a yellow helmet is talking with a shopkeeper at a booth. The shopkeeper says, "Hi, Brentric! Stock up on herbs before you leave town!"

Battle screen. Three wild-eyed monsters that look like giant vegetables bare their teeth at the viewer. The menu shows six options: Attack, Tactic, Magic, Guard, Item, and Run. The player has selected Attack. In a menu to the right, the monsters' names are displayed: Madroot A, Madroot Turnip, and Madroot B.
