Area 51 NES Game [Discord server invite included]

With the rising attention towards the Area 51 raid, I've decided to take the opportunity and make an NES game based on it.
It'll likely be a run 'n gun shoot 'em up similar to Ikari Warriors and Commando (without the scrolling, of course).
The problem? I'm still a beginner with NESMaker, so I need some help making it. That's why I've made my own Discord server as a hub for the game's development!
If you want to help make this game a reality, go ahead and join via the link here: https://discord.gg/TNm6tKc
They can't stop all of us from making this game, so let's work together!

Enemy graphics are mostly complete!
The plan is that they just slide along the background tiles and shoot towards the player.
Palette swaps allow for more variety!
(More alien types are being considered.)

Update: A change of plans and a mockup!

Sorry for the lack of updates on this game. I was busy with school exams and other personal stuff.
Anyway, I'm pleased to announce that the game is now about protecting Area 51! Play as the guards and keep the naruto-running lads out!
Here's a mockup to illustrate what the finished product may look like:

Also, the game will obviously not make it in time for the actual raid/festival; I don't want to burn myself out trying to meet an impossible deadline.
This is Taku, signing off.
