I wanted to try something much smaller in scope this time around; A game I can finish in a considerably quicker time frame.
Why not Duck Hunt?
Pico Hunt aims to bring the best of the NES and arcade VS. game together into one whole experience!
What I have so far...
All music and sound effects are in
Almost all character art for the vanilla console experience. Early VS. mode art, too!
Basic title screen
Basic main menu screen, with a small nod to Duck Hunt Medley from Super Smash Bros. (Thanks go to Nathan Silver and their NES rendition of the song for the inspiration!)
Duck hunting game with placeholder dev art, gameplay and rounds of increasing difficulty
Clay shooting screen with placeholder dev art, gameplay and rounds of increasing difficulty
What is planned...
Full, end-to-end remakes of duck hunting and clay shooting modes, as well as the full VS. arcade gameplay experience, kept separate so the NES-style games can be played, too!
All graphics, hand drawn and higher res than the originals!
Possibly some extras!
Please give it a go and tell me what you think!
Check below for the change log
Happy Hunting!!
Change log:
**(6/8/25)
Added some polish to the main menu
Added an option in the pause menu to disable the reticle. This is good for light guns or touch screens!
Sorto now waits for the current game to finish before he begins sorting, if he arrives early.
**(6/5/25)
Added a new text renderer
Changed the Duck Hunt Medley to fill it out a bit and give it more of a "Menu" vibe
Added rounds with increasing difficulty for Duck hunting and Clay shooting
Added fly away mechanic to duck hunting
Added a basic scoring system
Added a commendation when clearing every tenth level
Added duck behavior variety, denoted by color
Black ducks Bounce off the screen edges
Blue ducks steer in flight
Red ducks do all these things as well as change course when you fire
Red ducks only appear every sixth round until Round 20 where they begin appearing every other round
Removed bonus round button for now, until I can get it working better
(5/12/25)
Added a sorting gremlin called Sorto. He sorts the pips at the end of a round!
(5/11/25)
Duck hunting gameplay has been added
Shoot ducks in groups of two... don't miss
Early round logic in place for both duck hunting and clay shooting.
Merely the loop is in, no progression yet
Added art for the ducks and the dog... pretty much everything except VS. arcade stuff!
(5/2/25)
Early clay shooting gameplay has been added
Clays are launched in volleys of two, and the game currently goes indefinitely
