This is the beta that was originally dubbed "The Memorial Day" beta, now called the Pi beta (due to it being version 3.14xxx of the tool). You can download the ZIP file for this NESmaker version here, however you can only run it with an activation code, which will only be provided to NESmaker beta backers. If you are a NESmaker beta backer, look for an email from us with instructions.

** THESE ARE NEWER TUTORIALS, IN PROGRESS. MOST OF THE OLD TUTORIALS STILL APPLY, TOO, FOR SUPPLEMENTAL INFO!
The first video in this is a LONG 2.5 hour excursion into the world of making a Platform game. It presumes that you have a little working knowledge of some of the parts of the tool. The subsequent videos are SHORT videos about various bits of the tool, so if you are watching any of the tutorial videos, or need a reminder/explanation about a particular part, you can simply look at the video for that part.
2) many of the older tutorials still apply! However, you need to supplement the info from the newer tutorials to get everything working right. For instance, this is the old tutorial set:

Additionally, check www.TheNew8bitHeroes.com for continual updates!
*** IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE ABOVE VERSION TO CREATE A TOP DOWN STYLE GAME***
Since I semi-disabled up/down button presses, there may be a conflict where it can't find a certain script when you go to compile. It's a very easy fixed, explained by user Dale_Coop in this thread:
