Had writer’s block on this game build for months lol. Finally built simple mechanics for the boss Carditis so it feels like a real encounter.
Watching him launch dice was satisfying!
Still need to optimize sprites, clean animations, and tune it, but this boss has real potential
I haven’t been great at posting updates for this build. Life has a way of getting in the way. But behind the scenes progress has been happening!
Here’s a look at a concept level I’ve been working on with a casino theme. It’s starting to take shape—I’m excited to show more soon.
I experimented with some sprite layering to see if I could make this guys face a different colour than the rest of the body. Technically, it works — there aren’t any major visual glitches — but it does require adding an extra sprite on the same scanline.

This Valentine's Day, Panzer would like to share with you the greatest gift of all...himself! The Adventures of Panzer: Frontiers preorder is now online - Shipping will begin March 2nd! dalyengames.com #pixelcraftgames #dalyengames #nes #retrogame #panzer @PixelCraft81
I’m not sure how I feel about this. Blarghe! was featured on a Furry Subreddit, and honestly? The internet remains undefeated in its ability to find a niche for everything.
How do you keep the humor when your lead is a stoic wall? Make the world around him total chaos.
Panzer is taking a side seat in this build, so the bosses are bringing the funny. First up: Bowlinder. He’s got the style, the moves, and that signature goofy DNA.

The Adventures of Panzer: Frontiers (#NES) by @PixelCraft81
The Panzer saga continues with Wild West antics, non-linear missions, and playful humor in this action-packed game.
Of course Panzer 1 and Panzer 2 made Retro Pocket’s must-play homebrew games of 2025 list... Was there ever any doubt? 😏

Hard to believe it’s been almost 5 years making NES games. To celebrate the release of my 4th, I’ve discounted everything on Itch.io—and made The Adventures of Panzer 1 totally free. It’s rough, punishing, but it’s where it all began.
