I made an actual homemade PS1 engine, borrowed sound FX from Snake ps1 game (sfx is the hardest wtf). #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #lowpoly #ps1 #hauntedps1

I generally avoid politics, but I've been awake with my twins, thinking about getting ambushed in the car by my MiL asking me about "my thoughts" on the killing in MN.

Experimenting with a concept for the game mode selection screen... #nesdev #homebrew

Long shot, but @anamanaguchi.bsky.social - you guys had a killer mixtape you made long ago that had a Triangle remix on it as well as some songs by Shirobon, I think. I'm missing that thing, and want a chance to relive some memories. Any help?

In the Forest Secret Area in Super Mario World, there are three 1-Ups after the goal that seem impossible to collect without flying, as walking through the goal destroys them. However, there is an extremely simple trick to get them every time: simply press L before touching the goal.

I'm excited to get to show off Halcyon at Magfest this year! Come check it out!

Orange Island for the NES features a shmup section for the boss fights. Here's a 30fps gif showing off my engine's current progress. 32 baddies/bullets/particles and up to 16 player bullets. The bar on the left shows CPU usage. Enough left for an audio driver! #nesdev

:o

Another day, another reason to gush about how GOOD Full Quiet is if you have the patience to unlock its mysteries.

Lammy Blows It

The Ancient Texts

My local barcade is closing and I'm seriously bummed out. I was never quite old enough to be truly an arcade kid, so those cabinets being available to play, really scratched an itch.

Been procrastinating from #gamedev today... by doing some gamedev. A little #nes / #famicom sidescrolling prototype written in assembly #nesdev

REASON 1: IT HAD THE SNOW

Bah, uploaded the video incorrectly. Here's video.

As a father, I spend some time thinking about nostalgia as it relates to creating experiences for my kids. I think alot of it comes down to creating comfort spaces in which I can recreate aesthetics and feelings of my youth to try to replicate in my children.

I'm giving away 20 copies of Exo Attack for the Nintendo E-Reader. Repost this post to be entered into the contest.

Men will literally insert the SBTALKER disk in drive A: and enter SBAITSO instead of going to therapy.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

Switch 2? More like switch to the Sega Saturn!! Lots of games are being translated to English, the library is expanding rapidly for many western fans.

No joke - I deleted Minecraft because it was causing huge fits with my kids. Switched to Castle Crashers and all of a sudden my kids are doing great.

Easing back into work on Dizzy Sheep Disaster by finally animating the reverse direction button. Going to try to do the same with the end-of-level switch next! #gamedev #retrodev #screenshotsaturday

Super Homebrew War update! Now featuring characters from The Storied Sword, Courier, Full Quiet, Super Sunny, Jane Austen, and Biocreeps! With newly added DataMan themed stage. 4 player battle royale featuring NES homebrew personalities. Get the rom here ⬇️ www.bitethechili.com/superhomebre...

Finished MGC. Had really good time. NESdev guys are the coolest folks to hang out with. I hope people liked my game. Im very proud of what we've been able to do.

Made this sign for our room in like 2 mins. Please consider stopping by! Cool story - yesterday two 7 year old best friends stopped and played my game for a long time. They were having blast and I was just grinning from ear to ear. If nothing else happened this weekend that made this worth the trip

I’ll be set up all day in the VideoGameSage room at #MidwestGamingClassic! Come play Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex! Or play with Retro Puzzle Maker We’re in room 102D!

Im here at MGC!! Please come say hi and play my game!

Train delayed to MGC. Still arriving today! Nervous to show people what ive been working on.

Hot Take - As much as high game prices are annoying. Do we really expect prices to be the same as they were in the 90s?

It's been awhile.....but things are moving....

I learned this week if you mention you're looking for an artist to do something, a bunch of scammers will crawl out of the woodwork and harass you. How are people finding the artists they need without an open call?

Driving through the magic wood. #nesdev #gamedev

Hey if anyone knows of an artist who can do art like this - please send me a message of how I can get in contact with them.

Im so beyond excited for this

My 4 year old son, specifically asked to play BioCreeps tonight. "Can we play the game where you jump and shoot?" YES SON. WE CAN. #nesdev

My Roku TVs no longer accurately display 4:3 content. Every day im being forced into technology I just dont wanna use, man.

About once a week I sit down and play some Tomb Raider 2. I've been hooked since I beat the first one. It's interesting because I had dismissed the games almost exclusively because of the sexualization of Laura, not realizing there's *really* solid game concepts underneath.

This might come across as more than a little blunt, but please bare with me. A lot of people completely dismiss or even hate indie games and what's being unsaid here is they want is something mainstream from major studios with advertising and popular enough that the zeitgeist allows them to play it.

and finally here's the new one! hoping to get into the spirit of blasting out smaller updates more frequently, this is a background we recently integrated for my SNES bullet hell Rex Nobilis! mode 7 is cool #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #snes #スーパーファミコン #スーファミ #rexnobilis

My sign to play more Jazz.

Since I've been talking about it with friends -I'd really love a sequel to Full Quiet by @retrotainmentgames.bsky.social. *Very* few games recently addicted me so much that I had to play it every chance I got. Anyone who hasn't played it should pick it up, play it, and let them know we want more.

One day, I was talking to my father about how I was making a NES game. He said, "Hey, that's really cool! Any way I can help?" "I guess you could pour some hours into learning FamiStudio and make me a soundtrack! Ha. Ha." Well that's what he did. Here's Zone 2's music.

As per tradition, I've made yet another pregnancy announcement animation! My life is already crazy, I might as well just add to it.

Idk drawin with crayons.
