Kensuo Port (Tovi's Worklog)
Kensuo for Fenix 
Still a work in progress
Man, this game has become my lifes work for some odd reason.
I've always wanted to make a supernintendo-ish game... I think Nintendo had it's peak moment with the super nintendo, and I don't think they'll ever top that.
But anyway. I work on this game on and off. More off than on actually. I think I started this game like 4 years ago for a competition. Well, since that competition, not alot has been done.
For the last week I've done some bugfixing, but finally decided to add sound and music. I'll be making the music myself on my piano. In fact, most of the music will be just the piano.
Originally, I wanted to have that authentic SNES midi feel to it, but that's just so hard to get right. So instead I use my 12 years of experience playing the piano.
I don't know when I'll release a new version of this game, and I don't know whether it will ever be finished the way I wanted it, but I do want to put up a version here some time.
Oh yeah, all I can say is that the game is different from the last version. It still has most of the same graphics (although some stuff was redrawn), but it plays a little different. It's less annoying with deaths for one.
I hope I can start working on that final boss. I've got the smaller boss ready, so all I really need now is the music, the sounds and the final boss. Then I'm done with the WIP. Originally I wanted 4 times more levels, cause I need them to build up the story, but I don't know if that'll ever happen.
Oh yes, I'm very sleepy, so I might be repetitive. I probably should have said that in the beginning.

Ah Tovi, you're still alive. You could try giving it a midi feeling by using a synthesizer instead of a classic piano (if that's what you meant). Alibu does some pretty awesome work on that (@ www.theadvanced.co.uk )
I'm looking forward to the WIP, as I never played Kensuo DIV edition because of XP!

I don't have a classical piano, but I do have both an electric piano and a midi keyboard. I even have enough music editing software to manage everything, but still I find that making a SNES resembling song is hard.
In any case... The music might be a bit repetitive.
Oh, but I did get most of the sounds done yesterday. Didn't do them myself, but I just searched on the internet. Sometimes you can find great freeware sounds.
