I'm in... maybe??? (homebrew + rpg + INSERT THEME)
Umm, hi!
For the first time in forever, I actually realized it was Ludum Dare weekend before it was already happening! I'm not sure yet if I'll be able to do this with my schedule, but giving this a shot! I kinda want to make a lightweight RPG if it meshes alright with the announced theme.
The other big thing, would be that I want to do it as a homebrew for an old game console, using tools that I've created for doing this. If I end up joining, I'm gonna try to use my high-level assembly language Wiz for the compo.
https://github.com/wiz-lang/wiz
Wiz supports a few different CPU instruction sets, and is capable of making homebrew games for NES, SNES, Game Boy, Sega Master System, Game Gear, and others. All of the code is MIT licensed.
In the interest of making more example projects available for Wiz, it'd be nice to make something during the contest! It's also just a fun challenge making new homebrew stuff!
For the most part, the compiler + whatever base code I plan to use would be in the Wiz repository and its example folders, but I have some pre-existing code for other VRAM upload systems on GB and NES that I haven't had a chance to put up yet.
This already might be too ambitious, but we'll see! ^^
