Reviving the Amiga Legacy—on SNES

[SUPER-J11BIT]

For the interior levels of the spaceship, I’ll be using these tilesets — detailed, modular, and perfect for creating industrial sci‑fi environments.

Here’s our hero in all his pixelated glory, finally ready for action. After so much work, the animation set is almost complete, and watching him move is genuinely satisfying.
I’m left with one creative thought: when he dies, should it be a quick arcade‑style explosion, or a small animation where he simply… falls to the ground.

Our tiny hero moves like he just chugged three espressos: he struts around all proud, wobbling like he’s walking a fashion runway nobody invited him to. And when he jumps? That’s his grand moment — a heroic leap worthy of someone who just spotted a cookie crumb drifting through space. And the best part is that, apparently, on the SNES he runs like a wonder!

Dev Update – Enemy Expansion! 

Hey everyone! I’ve been working hard on new enemy sprites, and I’m excited to reveal a major upgrade:
Two brand-new enemy types have just landed — and they’re not your average foes.These guys fly and shoot, adding a whole new layer of challenge and chaos to the battlefield.
Stay tuned for more sneak peeks and let me know what you think. Your feedback keeps this project alive!

SNES Project Update! 
I’ve just wrapped up all the sprites and the entire graphics set for the game. It’s been a ton of work, but seeing everything come together has been amazing.
Starting today, I’m officially moving on to the SNES coding phase — the most technical part, but also the one that will finally bring everything to life.
Stay tuned, because things are about to get really exciting.

The bosses in my game… mutant giants!



I have to admit, I didn’t originally plan to include bosses in my game. But while I was working on a few ideas, a thought suddenly hit me: why not add mutant giants?

The idea clicked right away, and it feels like it gives the whole project a stronger direction. I’ve started integrating them into the game, and I really like how they’re shaping the overall atmosphere.

New Level Inspired by STRYX Thanks to principekento!



I wanted to share a cool update about the project.
A few days ago, principekento left a comment that really stuck with me:

"I’ve been following your work with interest, and as a parting tip I’d love to see something inspired by my old Amiga memories: for some reason your creation reminded me of Psygnosis’ STRYX. I could totally imagine a zero‑gravity section with a jetpack, handled just like in that Psygnosis game!!"

That reference instantly sparked something.
So I’ve decided to take his suggestion and add a brand‑new level inspired by exactly what he described: a zero‑gravity area, complete with jetpack controls, capturing the vibe of STRYX while adapting it to the style of my game.

The Parts of SNES Game Development That Slow Me Down.

Anyone who follows my projects knows how much I love making SNES games — but not every part of the process hits the same way. So I wanted to share which parts I enjoy the most… and which ones tend to drag a bit for me.

When it comes to drawing sprites and backgrounds, I’m completely in my element.I love spending time on tiny details, experimenting, polishing… I can get lost in it for hours. It’s the most relaxing and creative part of the whole journey for me.

Then there’s the part where I have to set up and configure the code inside the ROM. I still find it interesting — it’s literally what brings everything to life — but it’s also the most demanding and boring part for me. It slows me down, makes me take more breaks, and requires a different kind of focus.

To avoid burning out or pushing myself too hard, I like to work on smaller, simpler projects between bigger games. It helps me reset my brain, stay motivated, and not overdo it to the point where I end up dropping everything.
