Chomp Champ for the NES (coming soon!) graphics skratch pad. I like to keep development history of game projects. Sometimes you have to bruteforce a design through a bunch of iterations. #nesdev

First attempt at animating the background 🤷‍♂️ #Murtop #NESdev #NEShomebrew #ファミコン #gamedev

All of the bosses in BioCreeps have unique intros. I think they're all pretty good, but zone 1 is probably still my favorite. #nesdev #nes #indiedev #biocreeps

I'd like to share my favorite Chuck Norris movie. Genuinely a great one even if you're not a B-Movie fan. I've even got an extra VHS tape of this displayed on my desk. RIP Chuck.

After a few more rounds of polish, the new VWF system for dialog is complete! Here's a quick tour of the new stuff it can do. Being able to mix and match all unicode glyphs on an NES is wild. (Pay no attention to the Combat Anchor's brief visual bug. I see it. 😱) #gamedev #nes #pixelart

In Creeps, there's certain benefits to being on the ground that may not be immediately apparent. For example, certain enemies need to be tackled before you can kill them. #nes #nesdev #indiedev #biocreeps

I made the worlds most annoying noise when boxes are broken. I wanted it to sound like tiny little coins, but it's just some hella annoying chirp. Please help. #nesdev #nes #indiedev

A shameless rip-off of the mechanic in Curses n Chaos, but I had to make it so players can dance for money.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

Came across this video today and it really gave me a pick-me-up from the doom and gloom that is surfing the internet. Thank you @oneshorteye.bsky.social for signal-boosting/creating this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHSJ...

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
