    Before I begin, this will focus on original titles, and not arcade ports.
    -Zenithian Khei (Mega Man X meets Super Turrican 2)
    -Ginnan (Actraiser with an Old English/Anglo-Saxon twist. Part of the Middanyeard series.)
    -At least three shmups/space shooters.
    -At least two more Middanyeard games.
    -At least two titles in the Demon Lands series.
    -One Isometric game.

    Atari Lynx Plans

    By SlidellMan,

    I might as well discuss my plans for Lynx homebrews.
    -Snáwcild (Think of this as a better Ninja Gaiden 3 than the one that the Lynx actually got. As in nicer-looking sprites and sound.)
    -Zenithian Micro (Mega Man X with bits of Kirby Super Star.)
    -The Agathodaimon Mini
    -At least one space shooter/shmup. (Vertical/Tate mode will be supported.)
    -Red Wolf (FPS/Adventure)
    -At least one Middanyeard game. (Will be better than Viking Child.)
    -RC Car Combat.
    -Possible Castlevania clone
    -Gyaru Knight (G'nG clone with a wacky twist.)

    Angel designs for the Demon Lands

    By SlidellMan,


    Homebrew
    Shrapp - Serpentine Dragon angel. Plural: Shrappim
    Has six wings, front paws have one human face on the back. There is one more located on the top of the head. Color: Glowing electric blue. Name is a play off of Seraph.
    Kherub - I'm going for a Centaur-inspired design. Has the head of an ox with a human face in-between the eyes. I'm keeping the eight conjoined, eye-covered wings. Plural: Kherubim. Name is a play off of how Cherub was pronounced in Hebrew and Latin.
    The Islamic Angel - Often appears in the various mortal coils as black silhouettes with glowing outlines in place of halos. In the White Realm, they look like Middle-Eastern angels. There are also around six females for every male.
    Virtua - Spectral angelic silhouettes with a deep blue color and glowing outlines. Plural: Virtuae.
    The lesser variants of these are known as Swejelwuldor (Pl. Swejelwuldoras). Pronounced as Swā-yel-wul-dor°. (IPA: Swei-jel-wʊl-dor)
    Deuteros A.K.A. Deuteron - Has many eyes, seems to appear genderless even though he is not, has hypnosis powers, and at least one of those eyes can fire beams. Has purple skin, and many of those aforementioned eyes are on his wings. Thus, sneaking up behind him is impossible.
    Asrael A.K.A. Azraayil, Æsrahel - Has one face on his upper arms, one on his chest, four wings, and like the previously-described Islamic angels, appears as a black silhouette. However, his bodily features are more defined. Also has a crown that covers half of his head.
    Trishayia/Trishagia - Looks like a female angel from Diablo, but one can see the lower half of her face and three glowing eyes. She also has six wings. Is kind one moment, but horrific when slighted. When unhooded, she often has her hair up as a bun.
    Chayot - Angelic animals and monsters. Plural: Chayotim.
    Schōlaël A.K.A. Scōlhel – Known as the great and terrifying wise one, the only things that people see--aside from the red robe and two glowing wings--are two empty, yellow eyes and a moustache. As for why he is called the great and terrifying wise one, from having a scary-sounding voice, to being knowledgeable beyond comprehension, and not the most amicable angel to be around.
    Leviticus - The head of Lordships, Dominions, and Hashallim. Barely has any hair on his head and often seen wearing a miter. Also wears three rosaries: one with a Latin Cross, another with a Hexagram, and a third with a crescent. His skin is rather pale, wrinkly, and has no moles, age spots, etc.
    Frēadræfend – This centaur-like beast is the leader of the cherubim. From his ox-like lower body, to having four wings and a head akin to an antelope, he is not to be trifled with.

    I hope this gives someone here an idea or two...
     
    Update: I also wanted to say that many of these ports can also be done the other systems mentioned.
     
    Update 2: Come to think of it, Quadtari, Comlynx, and Team Tap support are also on the plate.

    I thought I would list what inspired me to come up with this:
    -Rastan Saga
    -Gargoyle's Quest (The First two)
    -Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
    -Megami Tensei (The whole franchise.)
    -The Shadow of the Beast trilogy (Fantasy meets high-tech, surreal details, and many of the creatures.)
    -Ancient Mythology
    -Masters of the Universe (Fantasy meets high-tech)
    -Thundercats (Fantasy meets high-tech)
    -Steampunk (Most of the technology that does get displayed.)
    -The Curse of Issyos (and Locomalito and general)
    -Antiquity (Building and clothing aesthetics.)
    -Touhou Project
     
    A small list of the characters in The Demon Lands:
    -Megatherion (The Hero of The Agathodaimon)
    -King Agathion (Leader of Ul P'tak and the ruling Agathodaimon.)
    -Hedone* (Healer and friend of Megatherion.) *=In the Demonic Alphabet, her name is spelled "Headonea". This is due to the fact that 'ea' is the demonic equivalent of η. (Pronounced as [ā/eɪ])
    -Alekto (The oldest of the three fury sisters. Often protective of her two sisters, but still willing to go on her own.)
    -Megaira (The second of the fury sisters, and known for being rather crude, even for demon standards.)
    -Tisiphone* (The youngest of these sisters, and the most daring of the three. Also known for being agile and quick-witted.) *=Written as "Tissipphonea."

    Music Ideas

    By SlidellMan,


    Game Music
    For one Jaguar homebrew idea I have, here's what I want it to sound for the most part:
    I have two songs for it made, along with some graphics. Speaking of Baroque, the Saturn/PS1 is now available in English and Spanish! If you have a Satiator or a PS1 SD card reader, now is the time to download the patches. (I have the Wii remake, by the way.)

    My Furnace Tracker instruments

    By SlidellMan,


    Atari Lynx and Neo Geo instruments
    I might as well share these, and I plan on posting my TG-16/PCE instruments for those interested.

    Atari Jaguar Font Templates

    By SlidellMan,


    Homebrew
    I thought I would do everyone developing Jaguar Homebrews a favor. Just open these up in Paint.net, Photoshop, Aseprite, Paint Shop Pro, Krita, EDGE, Graphics Gale, etc.; add a couple of layers and create some fonts.

    Here are my plans for platformers using that 7800Basic demo.
    The Agathodaimon (Rastan Saga and Curse of Issyos meet Zelda 2, Gargoyle's Quest II, and Robot Ninja Haggleman 3. I was planning on having 7800XM support, but Curt Vendel's death shot the chances of that happening down.)
    Kid Zenithian (Classic Mega Man, but with the ability to duck and shoot upward. See also Magical Doropie/The Krion Conquest.)
    Ð838 (Metroid Clone)
    Snáwcild (A Ninja Gaiden clone featuring a Demon Lands character whose name literally translates to Snow Child.)
    Ildu (Wonder-Boy-esque platformer with Old English/Anglo-Saxon themes. Part of the Middanyeard series.)
    Ghosts 'n Goblins clone.
  11. SlidellMan
    Other games besides platformers and ports that I might make for the 7800:
    -At least two horizontal shooters.
    -At least one overhead adventure game.
    -At least one other vertical shooter.
     
    However, not until Heofonfir is done.
  13. SlidellMan
    1. No bugs, glitches, or crashing.
    2. Good art direction and color theory.
    3. Tight, responsive controls. Even Out of this World, Flashback, and Oddworld's grid-based movement was responsive.
    4. Decent graphics or better.
    5. Good sound effects and music.
    6. Appropriate pacing.
    7. A decent story or better.
    8. Both physical and digital releases. (Yes, I'm including cart and CD.)
    9. Addicting gameplay and just plain fun.
