Game Bytes' July edition celebrates the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) legacy in open-source development, highlighting a vibrant "homebrew" scene where developers continue to create NES games using the original 6502 Assembly Language. Featured games include "Super Tilt Bro," inspired by Super Smash Bros, "Pwn Adventure Z," a hackable zombie survival game, "Nova the Squirrel," a platform adventure, "Thwaite," a missile-defense game, "Falling," a coin-collecting challenge, and "Sprilo," a time-attack racing game. The edition also discusses opportunities for developers to engage in projects like contributing to the "SuperTux" platform game or participating in the js13kgames, a JavaScript game development competition. Additionally, the itch.io desktop app is available in open beta, and "Dear Weather Guy," a game utilizing the Open Weather Map API, is highlighted from the recent Godot Community Jam.
