A computer-themed RPG for NES, made for the Game Off 2021 game jam.

Build dependencies

• cc65 for compiling
• FamiTone 5.0 (set NSF2DATA and TEXT2DATA paths on Makefile)
• FamiTracker (set FAMITRACKER path on Makefile).

Intermediate sfx and soundtrack files are commited, so FamiTone and FamiTracker are only needed if their original files are changed.

Building

To compile a release version:

$ make

...or to include the commit on the rom name:

$ make release

To compile a debug version:

$ make debug

To compile a debug version and open it on an emulator (with path defined by the EMULATOR variable on Makefile):

$ make run

HP can overflow

Enemy HP is defined as LV d8, so if LV reaches 49, HP can be 8 * 49 = 392

Music

Shuffle entities for flicker

Preserve enemies on each sector

Instead of respawning random enemies whenever we enter a sector, we could save them so coming back to a floor won't shuffle the situation.

(Enemy type + HP + Row + Column) * Sectors * Dungeons = 3840 bytes, which should fit in Save/WRAM
