Been furiously trying to tick off as many things as poss from the todo list lately. Lots done, next is a biggie - enemy bullet system needs rebuilding from scratch. Quite a few fun things done - see vid: #vectrex #vyrzonii #shmup

Treated myself to a new #vectrex controller. It's excellent, my old one had 5mm+ up & down play in the joystick.

For anyone after a copy of Vyrzon for #vectrex, the US / GCE style version is now available from Sean Kelly!: vectrexmulti.com/order2.html#...

I've done quite a bit on additional logic for bosses, including intro & death sequences: #vectrex #vyrzonii

I've added a 'focus' weapon: #vectrex #vyrzonii

I've made a load of changes to how levels and enemy movements are handled, including adding a z axis, so can now have 'background' objects (displayed dimmer), like this: #vectrex #vyrzonii

It's been a while since I posted any Vyrzon II updates so here are a few... Up to now enemy gfx could only loop through animation frames. I can now have 'directional' enemies like this... #vectrex #vyrzonii

Looks like Vyrzon made an appearance at the Vectrex Mini stand at Portland Retro Gaming Expo: youtu.be/288u8bfwqf0?...

Nice Vectrex video with a segment on Vyrzon: youtu.be/F3K7IO4VC2w?...

Bank holiday so time to make some stock… nearing the end of my production run of 300 clamshell Vyrzons, in case you were planning to buy one some time 😎 #vectrex #homebrew #retrogaming #quartzsquest #bigblue #frontier #vyrzon

Game 5: Vyrzon (Minsoft, 2023). We're in the golden age of Vectrex games, for whatever that is worth. :/ www.joltcountry.com/index.php/fe...

That time @minsoftgames.bsky.social brought his amazing Vectrex cocktail cab over to an arcade meet I was having 🙌🏻 #vectrex #vyrzon #retrogaming #arcade

I'm currently working on enemies, particularly those that require additional code for unique behaviour. Asteroids are back...but this time break into smaller pieces when shot, as nature intended. #vectrex #vyrzonii

Ok, let's go again... the auction I started yesterday wasn’t accepting international bids so I’ve restarted it… Charity auction for @launchpadrdg.bsky.social www.ebay.co.uk/itm/30597142... Vyrzon #256 special Toxic Green shell version…

First time playing Sturmwind on the Dreamcast...what a spectacle! Incredible stuff @vgnysoft.bsky.social
