Hey Indiedevs,

Maybe you saw that recently I added a lot of content to the existing NES Side-Scroller sereis and enhanced the Plains and Waterfall Caves Tilesets. Actually I started before the wintersale with this new assetpack, which has the goal to update the NES series to a "Simple Side-Scroller" series.

The NES assets are cool, but many of you said that you felt too restricted and that there are a lot of ugly spots caused by the restrictions and that NES animations generally feel a bit stiff and lifeless. My big goal was to change the style of the series, to keep the simple, yet compelling style, which is great to work with for indiedevs, while making the visual side much more beautiful.

Also some of you wanted to see some more big assets. Those are quite work-intensive and take a fair long time to create, so this is a test to see how it will be doing compared to the earlier pure NES series.

Also this assetpack is a XXL version right from the start, because I just throw in as much content as time allowed and also wanted to provide at least one assetpack which provides a complete small level with everything you need.

I hope you'll enjoy it and get a lot of mileage out of it, if you buy it. Please also write comments and give me feedback about the new format in the main asset page.

And most importantly have a Happy new Year!

Thomas
