Right then, big announcement time, I'm going to demake a hefty chunk of a game!
If I had to put it as a percentage, it'd be about 25% of a game and will feel self contained.
25% might not sound like a lot but to use an analogy, if I were demaking Super Mario World for instance, that'd be about 18 levels/3 worlds or so.
(I'm not making a platformer/SMW though haha, that's just an e...

Perhaps the easiest demake where not even a femtosecond was needed for me to know which song I needed SpagDev to cover. The one, the only, Jumper.
The Waterflame classic, just an absolute bop that I instantly associate with Castle Crashers, and many others associate with Geometry Dash. A double whammy of joy.
I really can't shake just how much there appears to be a jack o' lantern-esque face on the side of that ship.
Faces aside, one of the demakes where the carefree doodle nature felt very complimentary to the existing castle crashers style/flow. It kind of makes me wonder about making a game in the future where as an extra unlock/secret unlock is to be able to play the game with the rough do...

Not messed with it myself but I have seen quite a few Painter Boss Paradise creations and while it's only the character select portraits, if anyone could get use out of them thought I might as well upload them here.
I've included a transparent version an attachment too!
Below are the .gb and .pocket files for Castle Crashers!
Cycle through screens with [right/a] to go forward, or [left/b] to go back.
The .gb file should work with any Gameboy emulator.
The .pocket file is for the Analogue pocket, and is untested due to not owning one but thought it would be nice to throw in for anyone who has one!
Enjoy the Jumper rendition by

Right off the bat let's set the stage, let's set the mood, and listen to this.
If not familiar with the game Castle Crashers, that song should pretty much explain everything you need to know, and if you already know and haven't heard it, enjoy.

Being spoilt for choice of what song to get a GB rendition of is par for the course at this point, ...and yet it never gets any easier!
From the wonderful samba sway of Floral Fury, to the wonderful jazzy and loungey Die House. Though to be fair the phrase "the wonderful jazzy..." goes for pretty much 80% of the Cuphead OST, but truly, inside me beats the heart of a ragtime gal and Funfa...
You know I'll have to remind myself to go into it a bit more on the Castle Crashers demake raw sprite sheet, that Cuphead and Castle Crashers as demakes pretty funny when you think about it.
Two games that are positively, and extremely connected to a very very specific art style, and then to demake that just, kind of removes it. It's like if Cuphead was 3D models, still a good game but s...

Man I can't believe Cuphead came out nearly 10 years ago! And the first time I did a mockup of it was 7 years ago.
Needless to say, thankfully come a decent way from then and with this demake it can boast, truly, finally, I did a sprite of Cuphead with 3 colours and not 4 colours. Haha!
What can be said about Cuphead that hasn't been said before, an absolute lov...
Absolutely positively steam-boat-willy-nilling ahead is none other, than Cuphead!
Will be quite interesting to return to Cuphead because it's actually something I dipped my toe into demaking 7 years ago! I don't tend to redraw many things, so this will make for a different pace. One would hope my skills have been honed over the near decade since then haha!
Have finally gotten around to fully updating the demake master list along with fully updating the .gb/rom and .pocket zip files.
You should now find every demake is in the zip and if there's anything wrong with them, just give me a shout!
I do hope to get some of the older demakes some accompanying chiptunes added to them to make them feel more like a complete package, so keep yo...
Ah the (Nintendo) 64th vote, where does the time go? Well it goes into demaking more things, and this I feel is quite a fun one!
Two juggernauts that are bastions and stunning examples of their respective mediums.

The OST to Blasphemous is...well, haunting, chilling, grandiose, bombastic, and just around all a really emotionally heightening score that works in tandem with the world and themes of Blasphemous.
All of that to say, o it gud, it slaps baby. So when I was relistening to the soundtrack, a track I think would really work well in the demake (and the Game Boy soundchip) was the track Gelida ...

There's a popular mindset/mantra that's been around for a while but has been seeing a resurgence. The notion of make it exist first, you can make it perfect/better later.
As many of you know, I'm a big ambassador and preacher of this, and perhaps more so if you can make it exist first hey, come on, why not make it just a little bit silly.
I'll admit I was quite hesitant going into B...

Ah, the metroids, the vanias, the wonderous portmanteau that is the metroidvania.
(Or Search-em-up-like-lite to those inclined.)
A very solid hacky, slashy, sprawling game with an aesthetic, theming, artstyle, musical score that really truly sets itself apart from its contemporaries. Checking my steam account I beat the game in around 15 hours, and 19 hours for the sequel.
I'd...

Now if you don't think listening to Environment and being magically whisked away to Delaware a beautiful summery english garden drinking tea from quaint teacups and eating elderberry jam on honey scones, then I don't know what to tell you.
Except I think as usual,
Front facing Pompompurin isn't real and can't hurt you.... front facing Pompompurin ( • ﻌ • )
Soul staring gazes aside, truly over the years of doing pixel art I learn that top down really ain't all that bad! 16x16 characters in top down? Ok yeah that's still really not my favourite.
It's funny even just a few extra pixels, like 20 tall is ...

The only thing bigger than the big city....is Hello Kitty's Big City Dreams!
A game I have absolutely no connection with, I've never played it but me and my wife have been playing Hello Kitty Island Adventure a bunch which got me thinking about highly regarded Hello Kitty games.

2025-07-15 14:22:08 +0000 UTC View PostJust a quick update to explain the Hello Kitty/Blasphemous demakes have been delayed a bit by getting Covid (for the first time, alas!) which had put me out of commission for a week.
But thankfully back on the road to recovery, am feeling 80% back to normal so with fingers crossed, should be releasing the Hello Kitty demake next week.
Hope you look forward to it!
Well well well, with an early lead Hello Kitty Big City Dreams really secured its big dream...
of getting demade first!

If I had an absolute unlimited budget, boy howdy, would I get the entire Plants Vs Zombies OST covered for Game Boy.
But until then, @potatoTeto covered the Day Stage theme because it's so iconic!
