Cold & Starving
A downloadable game
One second you are happily piloting your plane and the next second something hits your plane! You manage to parachute out and land somewhere in the mountains...
Do you have what it takes to survive there ? The nights are freezing cold and there's something else that's waiting for you at night...
This is an 8-bit survival game where you play as a lone survivor. You have to manage your resources, hunt for food, craft various items and weapons.
There are three different endings depending on your morality.
The game can be played on an actual NES or a Famicom. Also you can play on your phone or computer using an NES emulator(Mesen, Nestopia, Punes etc.)

Pretty rad. It's like Don't Starve for NES.
Bonjour
magnifique jeu
Je vais le creuser un peu plus
Quel talent de créer un jeu nes 👍
Continue comme ca
Peut être un autre jeu ?
En Nrom?
Thierry
Merci beaucoup, Thierry
(Sorry, my French is not that good) I don't think I will make the next game for the NES, I'd like to test out Megadrive. Although now I might not have that much time like few years ago, so the next game might not appear very soon.
Bonjour
Merci de m avoir répondu
Pour le prochain jeu nes pas de pb
Celui que tu as réalisé est déjà super
La megadrive c est une bonne idée
Surtout si tu veux créer des cartouches
J ai acheté des pcb vierges jusque 4mbits
Bon courage
Thierry
Wow that'd be sick, do you think you'll do another genre that wasn't popular during the time of the console? like you did with Cold & Starving (being a survival game).
maybe souls like or something
This game is so damn gooood!!! Love it!
I'm shocked, thank you!
I just bought the game, I will play it tonight in discord server. From a game dev to another, keep it up, man!
Thank you!
I publish my own Atari 2600 and Genesis games. So, was irritated to see your game already ripped from a digital download onto a pirate cart. That being said, what if you bought the pirate carts and updated them to your final version? Make a deluxe boxed version.
I don't think it's worth the effort. I'll make better ones myself.

Hi,
That is very cool!
You can spam my *** at gmail com email.
Thanks!
We spammed you ;) Feel free to remove your email. Thanks.
I put custom title to the episode5 code but it crash when the game starts.
I generated nametable values with NESst!
How to bank switch chr to 0 when i want to use chr 0 tiles?
I cant send the nes file in itch.io because only picture or video.
I renamed the title with big T
Hey, where did you put that custom nametable? Also perhaps you gave the nametable a different name, than it was hardcoded :)
Switching banks is simple, load bank number to a register y and call subroutine bankswitch_y.
Have you posted anything on Github? Since questions like this would be more fitting there.
LDA #$00,Y
JSR bankswitch_y
Is that good? Or
LDY #$00
JSR bankswitch_y
Im not in home I will upload to github later
The last one is correct.
On second thought, if you are modifying the code from the episode 5, then, I believe, I was still using the mapper 0 back then, so the bank switching shouldn't be available.
Where can i edit player sprites in latest episode and main_tiles_chr is not loaded in the example only intro and title when i used find keywords in notepad++
Just load the main.chr into an editor of your choise( e.g. Screen tool) and edit it. Note, the same character graphics are duplicated in other tilesets, so you will have to change them as well.
Oh, it is loaded allright, perhaps you have looked only in one file, it's not in game.asm
