Update [Tue 30th Jul, 2024 17:30 BST]: Woodfrog has announced the name of his new SNES game and has also released its first trailer, giving a closer look at what you can expect from the in-development title.
As revealed in the trailer published on Twitter, the project will be called Till & Hat and will be a side-scrolling platformer, starring a boy named and his magical hat.
The new footage shows snippets of various different stages that will potentially feature in the finished game, including a tropical level containing a monster that belches bubbles when attacked, a Mode 7-style minecart section, and a theatre-inspired world where players must stay inside the view of an elephant-controlled stage light.

Original Article [Mon 15th Jul, 2024 15:00 BST]: Woodfrog, the developer behind the Mega Man fan game The Sequel Wars, has revealed that he is working on a new homebrew project for the Super Nintendo.
The project, which has yet to be given a name, was announced on Twitter over the weekend, with the developer sharing a brief 13-second clip of the platformer that seemingly stars a young kid with a sentient hat as its main hero.
In the footage, we see this character jumping and rolling across a mining-themed stage, before quickly running into a bunch of enemies including flying bugs (Kamikazzes), horrific plants (Bile Flowers), and adorable helmet-wearing octopuses (Rhudar).
The main weapon shown in the video seems to be a whip, but there is also a UI element labelled ammo, which appears to suggest players will also have an additional long-range weapon.
According to the tweet, a trailer is set to be released for the project soon, as well as more details about the project itself. We'll keep you posted once more information is made available.
