I'm glad to see so many new followers! It's time for a reintroduction!
Hi! My studio is Turtle Time Media and I create new games for the NES! I've published Turtle Paint, Crabbie Attack and 8Bit Brix Design Studio. I have free demos on Itch and sell physical carts. linktr.ee/turtletimeme...

Last weekend, I was at Really Rad Weekend sharing my turtle-themed NES homebrew games. Here's the interview:

So to your point, could I do my own music if I had unlimited time? Maybe? But its not my strong point and there's someone else out there much better at it, and I'd rather partner with him. But use AI? No way.

I do virtually everything in my games except music. I tried to learn Famitracker, but just couldn't do it. I found my music guy, and recorded myself humming the tunes I wanted because I didn't know how else to convey them. Long story short, I continue to trust and use him.

And that is very much appreciated. I'm happy that you and DalyenGames are making this possible.

Very good news, and I am glad you have found a way around my country's stupid tariffs. Silly question, wouldn't it make sense to have the USA site display prices in $US instead or Euros?

Wishing I was heading east to be part of another RetroGameCon this weekend, but alas, I chose to save myself for Really Rad Weekend next month. I hope everyone has fun in Syracuse, and I am really excited to head back to Fort Walton Beach, namesake for our own Walton the Turtle! 🐢

8 Bit Burners can be found on Facebook. They made some great signs for me. They may already have a Nintendo sign already made.

For Release:
Turtle Time Media has been acquired by a private equity firm for a crisp new $2 bill. Walton the Turtle will retain his current role as "the best."

Awesome news! Dalyen Games are good people and I am happy for all involved!

I truly hate that Broke Studio forms the Homebrew Factory and I cannot support it. Anton and Fei, you will always be awesome in my book! I look forward to this going away and having more games on my shelf!

If you have not checked out Hold the Light for the NES, please do so. It was one of the most innovative homebrew games from this year's Byte-Off!

Hold The Light
In this action game, the player tries to prevent darkness from extinguishing the central fire. Each time the flame takes damage, the void expands and the size of the visible gameplay area shrinks. Thr...
