#selfpromosaturday seems like a good time to mention my Kickstarter. Not yet two weeks old and already over halfway to its goal -- but still needs your support to make it the rest of the way! #NESdev #NEShomebrew #NES #homebrew #indiegames #gamedev #kickstarter

An update on a custom module for NESMaker to help devs make their own Beta-em-up style game for the NES. Always looking for suggestions on features I may have overlooked, or if anyone has resources on what makes a good beat-em-up game.
