Alfonzo’s Arctic Adventure is a brand-new platformer game for the NES. It is a sequel to Eskimo Bob: Starring Alfonzo.

With your trusty stick by your side, travel through over 90 levels filled with puzzles, traps, and enemies around every corner. Luckily, you aren’t alone on your adventure! You will meet new friends along the way, each with different abilities to help you on your quest. These include the power-punching Magnus, the near-invulnerable Fenwood, and the sword-wielding Girl.

In this stream, I added the ability to turn on a grid in the asset tool and toggle collision in metatiles by clicking on the individual 8×8 subtiles in the metatile. This information is saved in a 2-byte bit mask and on Monday we’ll be exporting the information for the NES and implementing the collision detection. As always, thanks to all those who watched the stream live! See you Monday – have a great weekend!

I finally got the tile loading and attributes loading properly in this stream. We have one more minor task to take care of on Thursday, but even with reloading the entire attribute memory in the NMI, we’re getting smooth scrolling (unlike before). We will start working on background collision next stream (FINALLY!). Thanks for those who watched. See you next time!
