Even Goblins Fall In Love is a work-in-progress JRPG for the NES about a goblin who goes on a quest to prove their love.

Jarvis, one of the Skyboy Games doggos, is helping to assemble new physical NES copies of Fire And Rescue and Gunhawk for the holiday season.

Implemented a new enemy type in our NES JRPG, Even Goblins Fall In Love.
The Ishikoro is a living rock that is eternally unamused.

Its high defense will require the player to apply debuffs in order to effectively inflict damage.

If I'm going to imitate spec, I might as well do it from the best.
In true Dragon Quest fashion, the window frames in Even Goblins Fall In Love's combat encounters now change color based on the player's HP.

The Skyboy Games doggos (Jarvis and Hawkeye) seem confused by the sudden appearance of 'outside' inside the house.

I hope everyone is doing fine heading into the year's end.

Here are the front and back covers for the Gunhawk manual. Gunhawk is NES game playable with both Zapper and/or Gamepad.
I particularly like how the pose and line rendering on the back cover came out.

I couldn't resist adding a little animation of Lin falling asleep when you use an inn in Even Goblins Fall In Love, my work-in-progress JRPG for NES.

Just mocking up some new creatures for Even Goblins Fall In Love.
I think these guys can best be described as Geodudes feeling a certain kind of way.

During the demo at District Arcade, the most important feature I implemented may have been the Try Again option that allows you to restart a battle if you are defeated.

WIP shot from Even Goblins Fall In Love.
i added some visual effects and explanation to better communicate the player's attacks and the status effects they inflict.

The title screen for Even Goblins Fall In Love. Now with some animation.

11/07/2024

I really get a kick watching nametables update while scrolling the screen in my NES goblin RPG.

11/06/2024

Here's is a super rare creature that will show up in Even Goblins Fall In Love.

The Munch, a Haniwa creature variant based on Edvard Munch's The Scream.

Honestly, this feels more topical now than I originally intended.

11/02/2024

I added some beds to the inn to Even Goblins Fall In Love.
Of course, I made it so you can tuck yourself into them.

10/30/2024

I decided to steal a page from Dragon Quest's book of coding black magic and encode the nametable for the Even Goblins Fall In Love title screen into SPR data so I can use PRG ROM space for other stuff.

I love this massive 4-page review spread that Max-Play magazine did for Gunhawk!

WIP shot from Even Goblins Fall In Love.
Is it even a JRPG if you don't have an inn where you pay to restore all your HP?
