New Homebrew Game: The Legend of Poo Panties the Cat

[fcgamer]

Hi everyone, it is with great excitement to let everyone here know that the children's book series, "The Legend of Poo Panties the Cat", is now coming to 8-bit for the first time. The game will feature the titular ginger cat himself, Poo Panties; however, some of his other friends including Hiss the Snake, Baldy the Eagle, and Froggy the Frog are also playable characters.

In addition, about eight or ten other characters from the book series will make an appearance in the game, as both friends and foes.

"The Legend of Poo Panties the Cat" is a platformer game, though it has a variety of gameplay styles. In addition to platforming stages, there are stages where you explore deep underwater depths, take to the skies, collect coins, and even button-mash to win a race - who would have thought?

Anyways, please check this game out and help spread the word - it's appreciated. The Legend of Poo Panties the Cat is a quite cute, kawaii game.

Every game should be put on a cartridge.

Why? So you can sell it and make a buck?

Get out of here, THE LEGEND OF POO PANTIES THE CAT could be the stupidest thing to get put on a cart I've ever seen.

The tidal wave of garbage homebrews since the dam broke is only offset by the mercifully low amount of people left who shell out cash for nonsense like this.

Having more game options is always better, no one is forcing you to buy anything. If only you were aware of the hack of Pandamar, which is itself a hack of Super Mario Bros. Or some of the silly hardware projects that should be seeing the day of light sometime in the near future.

My personal philosophy is I'd rather see people offer and make their projects available, be it games, hardware, magazines, soundtracks, whatever - and then let the market decide. Obviously, things like Micro Mages and whatever the 2025 equivalent is quickly drift into the top slots of popularity, but can't there be room for the Super Mario Bros. 3s as well as the Lode Runners or the Pac-Lands?

I love you bro and respect your opinion, but I think we'll just have to agree to disagree on this one.

Oh, also for the record, a lot of the 2010ish homebrew was utter trash, something even a lot of the earlier developers somewhat admitted.

Then people making these games need to release the ROMs for free if that's what really matters. Instead, people are incredibly tightwad'd when it comes to that... so people buy the physical game or pay for a ROM.

It's a hobby, not a business but we've got a metric fuckton of people who saw an opportunity to make money from it and went whole hog, at the hobbyist's detriment.

Too very quickly did it become about how many copies one could sell as opposed to enhancing the hobby with new games.

You were around like me when this was in its infancy. It was honestly better when no one cared. We were free to load a ROM or, god forbid, buy a game for five bucks and find a new favorite without someone trying to cash in on the process.

I will stand on this high horse forever: if everyone else can even have a quarter of the enjoyment I've received from NES (playing, collecting, community, etc), they should and monetizing everything puts an unnecessary barrier in front of that.

If hobbyists unilaterally released their ROMs for free along with physical sales, I would have no problem shucking physical copies for sale, but that isn't the case. When everything has a dollar sign attached, it limits options instead of increasing it.

I appreciate what you're doing because you're probably the most "pure" person doing this sort of thing because there's 100% love here for the system (people like bunnyboy were the exact opposite), but my only request would be releasing the ROM for free.

Also it's called Poo Panties ffs. Please, no, stop.
