Mega Man 2 demake?

[guppy]

There's a project I am trying to find out more information about. On YouTube, there's a video of a cool-looking de-make of Mega Man 2, the most recent video for which was posted a few days ago:

 

 

I know that the project isn't a true homebrew, in that it is written in GameMaker, not native code for a classic console, and just has a look that is inspired by the Atari 2600, but I can't find any other info about it other than these videos. I'm wondering if anyone has any more info about it.

The Atari 2600 is not able to do this, That boss battle is WAY more than the 2600 could ever handle on screen at one time. See how there is no flicker at all? There would be TONS of it on a real 2600. Would be better off just doing a sprite hack of the NES version in the same vein as the Super Mario Bros. hack was done to look like a 2600 game.

The ColecoVision could do this game easely, on the other hand.

I know. It's NOT an Atari 2600 game, as I said. According to a note on one of the author's videos, it's a GameMaker project, which uses the Atari 2600 for inspiration.

 

My question is, does anyone have any more information about it? Strangely, the videos don't seem to have links to the author's webpage, that I could find. So I'm trying to find out more about this project.

Yeah I downloaded this awhile ago. It's real. I wish it had been finished! It's good stuff. Here's the Atari Age thread from the dev:
