Le nouvel outil de Joe Granato, déjà connu pour NESmaker, vient de lancer son Kickstarter et pulvérise déjà son objectif de financement.**\n\n### Une suite logicielle héritière de NESmaker\n\nRetroGameForge n'est pas un projet parti de rien. Il y a huit ans, trois développeurs retro assemblaient une série d'outils graphiques pour faciliter la création de leur propre action-RPG sur NES. Ces outils sont devenus NESmaker, un kit de développement qui a permis à des dizaines de créateurs *homebrew* de sortir leurs propres jeux NES sans passer par l'apprentissage du langage assembleur.\n\nIl y a près de deux ans déjà, Joe Granato, à la tête de NESmaker, annonçait vouloir étendre son outil à la Super Nintendo sous un nouveau nom : RetroGameForge. Le logiciel est aujourd'hui suffisamment abouti pour permettre la création de jeux complets sur NES comme sur SNES, et l'équipe évoque même une compatibilité future avec d'autres machines de la fin des années 80 et du début des années 90.\n\n### Pourquoi un Kickstarter\n\nSelon l'équipe, la suite logicielle est déjà pleinement capable de produire des jeux jouables. L'objectif de la campagne de financement n'est donc pas de terminer le développement, mais de le fiabiliser : stress-tester le logiciel dans des conditions réelles, étoffer la documentation, constituer une bibliothèque de templates ainsi que de ressources graphiques et sonores, et financer les frais de fabrication et d'expédition des cartouches physiques.\n\n[Page Kickstarter de RetroGameForge](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/retrogameforge/retrogameforge/)\n\nLe clin d'œil ne passe pas inaperçu : l'objectif initial était fixé à 6 502 dollars, en référence directe au processeur MOS 6502 qui équipe la NES. Un objectif atteint en un temps record, et déjà multiplié par plus de douze au moment de la publication de cet article (près de 80 000 dollars récoltés), avec encore près d'un mois de campagne devant lui.\n\n\n  \n\n### Ce que propose concrètement RetroGameForge\n\nAu programme : une interface visuelle et intuitive pensée pour les développeurs débutants ou ceux qui ont buté sur l'apprentissage de l'assembleur, mais aussi un outil dédié à la composition musicale pour habiller ses créations. Deux formules sont proposées aux contributeurs : un SDK (Software Development Kit ) limité à la NES à 40 $ (environ 35 €), et une version complète gérant à la fois NES et SNES à 64 $ (environ 56 €). Des cartouches équipées du Wi-Fi sont également disponibles pour tester ses créations sur une console d'époque authentique plutôt que sur émulateur.\n\nSi la campagne venait à dépasser les 180 000 dollars, un palier qu'elle a déjà quasi atteint à moitié, d'autres machines pourraient rejoindre la liste des systèmes pris en charge, sans que l'équipe ne précise pour l'instant lesquelles.\n\n  \n\n### Une réponse assumée à la vague de création assistée par IA\n\nDans la description de sa campagne, Joe Granato prend clairement position face à la montée en puissance des outils d'intelligence artificielle dans la scène homebrew. Il défend une création qui reste fondamentalement humaine, tout en simplifiant les aspects les plus techniques du développement sur ces systèmes historiques. RetroGameForge se veut ainsi à la fois un outil de création et un moyen détourné d'apprendre les bases de la programmation, ouvert à toute personne motivée, indépendamment de son expérience en informatique.\n\nL'écosystème autour de l'outil ne s'arrête d'ailleurs pas au seul développement : la structure de Granato prévoit d'étendre son arcade virtuelle The Retro Verse en véritable marketplace, permettant aux créateurs de vendre leurs jeux sur cartouche sans passer par une campagne de financement participatif, avec reversement de royalties. Son label BitMask Publishing propose par ailleurs déjà d'accompagner les développeurs NES pour porter leurs jeux sur Switch, Steam, Xbox, iOS, Android, Mac, PC et Linux.\n\nDe quoi, potentiellement, faire souffler un vent nouveau sur la scène homebrew 16-bit, jusqu'ici nettement moins fournie en outils que celle de la NES.\n\n*Sources : [Time Extension](https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/08/this-new-suite-of-tools-aims-to-make-developing-nes-and-snes-games-far-more-intuitive) et [Le Mag de MO5.COM](https://mag.mo5.com/286919/un-outil-pour-creer-des-jeux-nes-et-super-nintendo-sur-kickstarter/)*\n\n

The new tool from Joe Granato, already known for NESmaker, has just launched its Kickstarter and is already blowing past its funding goal.**\n\n### A software suite built on the legacy of NESmaker\n\nRetroGameForge isn't a project starting from scratch. Eight years ago, three retro developers put together a set of graphical tools to make it easier to build their own action RPG on NES. Those tools became NESmaker, a development kit that allowed dozens of homebrew creators to release their own NES games without having to learn assembly language.\n\nNearly two years ago now, Joe Granato, the mind behind NESmaker, announced plans to extend his tool to the Super Nintendo under a new name: RetroGameForge. The software is now mature enough to allow the creation of complete games on both NES and SNES, and the team has even hinted at future compatibility with other machines from the late 80s and early 90s.\n\n### Why launch a Kickstarter\n\nAccording to the team, the software suite is already fully capable of producing playable games. The goal of the funding campaign isn't to finish development, then, but to make it more robust: stress-test the software under real-world conditions, expand the documentation, build a library of templates as well as graphic and sound resources, and cover manufacturing and shipping costs for physical cartridges.\n\n[RetroGameForge Kickstarter page](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/retrogameforge/retrogameforge/)\n\nThe nod hasn't gone unnoticed: the initial goal was set at $6,502, a direct reference to the MOS 6502 processor that powers the NES. A goal reached in record time, and already exceeded more than twelvefold at the time of writing (close to $80,000 raised), with nearly a month of the campaign still to go.\n\n\n\n### What RetroGameForge actually offers\n\nOn the menu: a visual, intuitive interface designed for beginner developers or those who've struggled to learn assembly, plus a dedicated music composition tool for scoring your creations. Backers are offered two tiers: an SDK (Software Development Kit) limited to NES for $40 (around €35), and a full version covering both NES and SNES for $64 (around €56). Wi-Fi-equipped cartridges are also available, letting you test your creations on genuine period hardware rather than an emulator.\n\nShould the campaign pass $180,000 — a stretch goal it's already nearly halfway to — other machines could be added to the list of supported systems, though the team hasn't yet specified which ones.\n\n\n\n### A deliberate response to the wave of AI-assisted creation\n\nIn his campaign description, Joe Granato takes a clear stance against the rise of AI tools within the homebrew scene. He champions creation that remains fundamentally human, while simplifying the most technical aspects of development for these historic systems. RetroGameForge positions itself as both a creative tool and a roundabout way to learn programming basics, open to anyone motivated enough, regardless of their background in computer science.\n\nThe ecosystem around the tool doesn't stop at development, either: Granato's outfit plans to expand its virtual arcade, The Retro Verse, into a full-fledged marketplace, letting creators sell their games on cartridge without going through a crowdfunding campaign, with royalties paid out. His label, BitMask Publishing, already offers to help NES developers port their games to Switch, Steam, Xbox, iOS, Android, Mac, PC, and Linux.\n\nAll of which could potentially breathe new life into the 16-bit homebrew scene, which has so far been far less well-equipped with tools than its NES counterpart.\n\n*Sources: [Time Extension](https://www.timeextension.com/news/2026/08/this-new-suite-of-tools-aims-to-make-developing-nes-and-snes-games-far-more-intuitive) and [Le Mag de MO5.COM](https://mag.mo5.com/286919/un-outil-pour-creer-des-jeux-nes-et-super-nintendo-sur-kickstarter/)*\n\n
