ADVANCED: In this video, I show how I use 6502 ASM in NESmaker to deconstruct the AI that drives Kesali, one of the bosses for Mystic Searches. It demonstrates a few of the tricks used to create the appearance of a large screen-sized boss, and dives deep into the code in how to create a veritable state machine to give the boss multiple phases and dramatically different mechanics from the core MOBs in the main game.

BEGINNER to INTERMEDIATE: This is a crash course in learning how to make games with NESmaker.  Even if you have no previous experience, this video series should help you get up and moving. Especially designed to prepare for game jams, hackathons, or the BYTE OFF development competition and showcase.

BEGINNER: This is generally the first tutorial series many NESmaker developers use to learn how the tool works. With the merriment of the season, complete with musical performance and the pop in of a newborn baby, The 12 Days of NESmaker walks through every major interface of the software.

BEGINNER: Developing your own NES games doesn't have to be scary! This year, in the spirit of spooky season, we'll be working together to create a new NES game using a cauldron of pre-built Halloween themed assets and the electrifying NESmaker software to help tame your fears. This series of bite-sized video tutorials will start super basic with a prebuilt game for you to mutate, and by it's end, will begin to delve under the skin to look at how the bones of NESmaker work.
