New NESes, ideas, development, etc

[andis-1]

Aye.


And N3S III, if it counts as "normal", is not dead, and will hopefully have some sort of Christmas/New Years present for you all.

I just jizz'd in my pants!

So I'm thinking of modding again. Any timelines or settings people want in particular.

 

[Cobalt Command]

I'm only going to be able to force myself to find time for this forum if someone starts another Alternative History experiment.

Either non-Earth or some 1800's NES.

Revive one of your older FS.

So, I've been working on a new fresh start NES map and have gotten far enough to probably be able to be able to open the NES some time before New Year's, probably. Thank you for the offer of help, NK; I'll take you up if I need it.

Also, does anyone know of a good, free image editor for Mac (ideally one that supports layers)? Right now, I'm using a trial version of Photoshop, but the trial will run out in twenty-odd days.

 

[Abaddon]

Don't know if any of these are Mac or not sorry

• ScreenPrint 32 - Replacement for PrtScrn - Allows capture to clipboard, as well as printer and/or file.
• Irfanview - Very lightweight, small, and fast image viewer that supports over 30 image formate. Remember though, viewer, not editor. Even though it can resize and do some very basic editing, it's really best used just as your default viewer. Make sure to also download the plugin pack.

Gimp has instructions for its use with Macs.

Gimp supports layers.

I would note that the maps of Carmen's NES and Ninja Dude's NES are both part of the same world map that was created by myself, and there is one cradle that has not yet been used...

Revive one of your older FS.

Yeah, right. I no longer have any of those files.

 

[Thlayli]

Yeah, right. I no longer have any of those files.

The people demand a new DwarfNES.

Thanks! Annoying to start up because it needs a Windows emulator, which takes forever to load, but I did get it to work. Gimp is much improved since the last time I tried to use it (probably four years ago now).

Anyway, I'm mostly finished with the continent of the cradle, which is completion enough to probably open a preview for the NES tomorrow or the next day. I may need some advice on a climate map, though. Stay tuned!

 

[Abaddon]

What files do you need? Or is the map gone?

Flyingchicken may be interested in this, but my combat model for a certain NES is pretty damn close to completion.

Others will just not understand what I'm talking about.

Here's the map for my upcoming EskimoNES.

I forgot to put in a scale. That bottom peninsula is like 100 km long.

Hehehehe he said titygenesis.

I chuckled as well.

I like the W-T one. The Fuller one looks like a LSD Trip.

 

[BananaLee]

Me, I like the LSD trip

I've always thought you weren't into [Tim Curry]spayyyssse[/Tim Curry] for some reason, but then again you did follow ChaNES

The way this works, I'm sure it can fit into most NESes.
