Probably should have done this a while ago. My name is Clay, and I'm a photographer (although not so much right now, as COVID has canceled all my work for the year). I'm also a musician... done a lot of original stuff in the past, but nowadays I play guitar in a 90's cover band to packed, sweaty bar crowds in the San Francisco area. With the same drummer I formed my first band with in 7th grade actually.
Not a huge gamer, but really love my classic Nintendo stuff. Zelda is my favorite franchise (I own almost every game complete in box), but Mario 3 is my favorite game of all time. I used to ROM hack for fun, and even tried making a sequel to Mario 3 back in 2002. I still have the ROM for that, but I only got 1 or 2 worlds into it.
So I found myself here! Because I have a joke band (look up "Weed N' Stiff Buttermoose" on YouTube... no, it has nothing to do with weed) that I've been a part of since I was 12 years old, with my step brother. I'm almost 39 now, lol. Since I'm currently 11 songs into writing a new album for us, I had an idea to make a game based on our silly band (equally ridiculous as the music) and NESMaker is exactly what I was looking for.
FYI, if you did listen, it's supposed to be ridiculous. I spend *some* time creating the music, and the singer improvises all of his stuff as we record it. So to do the Buttermoose video, he had to memorize what he sang on the recording... about 2 minutes before we filmed it.
Cheers from California!
