Completed a side project that should help me compose music more efficiently for my lightweight sound engine. I've chosen to share this with the NesDev community---I will make an announcement there when it is ready, and probably on NintendoAge as well. | Completed a side project that should help me compose music more efficiently for my lightweight sound engine.

Ravenwolf has started on the sprites/bg for the first boss of the game. Meanwhile, I am transcribing some music for the third level and improving sound effects and gameplay. Hopefully within about two to four months we can produce a demo video showing the progress on this game. | Ravenwolf has started on the sprites/bg for the first boss of the game.

Introduction
I began this project in late 08' when I finally realized what I really wanted to do with programming as a hobby. I realized that making a game for one of the video game consoles I dearly loved as a child would likely motivate me more than anything else. I had a couple of ideas when I was a kid, and partially developed those ideas in QuickBASIC. But now that I'm a little older and wiser I thought it'd be way cooler to put those ideas on a real video game console and actually finish them.
Nomolos is a two-way scrolling action platformer game that borrows elements from Castlevania, Ninja Gaiden and other well known games. It stars an orange cat in armor named Nomolos (this is Solomon backwards, the name of one of my cats), and the setting is renaissance/baroque era. The soundtrack will consist entirely of baroque music by Domenico Scarlatti, but I may throw in a couple of pieces I've written also. My goal is to make a simple and fun game---I have no intention or desire to break new ground with it. I'm all about nostalgia and that "classic" feel.

Completed a side project that should help me compose music more efficiently for my lightweight sound engine. I've chosen to share this with the NesDev community---I will make an announcement there when it is ready, and probably on NintendoAge as well.
Ravenwolf has started on the sprites/bg for the first boss of the game. Meanwhile, I am transcribing some music for the third level and improving sound effects and gameplay. Hopefully within about two to four months we can produce a demo video showing the progress on this game.
