I miss the days of weird little desktop software toys, so I made this video about The Simpsons Screen Saver collection from 1994. My favorite is "Homer Eats," where Homer walks around your desktop eating icons. Watch here: youtu.be/yhq2Bym5kTY (If you enjoy it, a like or a share goes a long way!)

they plucked a building outta south beach miami and put it in shibuya

New SFX repack for the 1993 DOS game Dinopark Tycoon. A business sim with some chill background music that was hard to appreciate because of the wildly loud sound samples. gamedevjeff.pixelturkey.com/dinopark/SND... (DOS . exe only, runs under DOSBox after unzipping in the game's directory)

I’ve also added cover art to Transfer Point's IMDB listing. Thanks to @gamedevjeff.pixelturkey.com for adding it there, and for the kind review! ifdb.org/viewgame?id=...

For over a decade I've been wondering what this freaking font is, because I kept constantly seeing it in Japanese gaming media from the 80s and 90s. It wasn't until in recent years when I discovered that the font is called Tankoin AL-KL (淡古印 AL-KL) and it was made by Shaken (写研) in 1979.

I bet you've never seen AlleyCat look quite like this before. #retrocomputing

The YM2151 is similar enough to the Megadrive's YM2612 that I was able to copy the patches and get a fairly accurate Desert Strike theme tune cover going. Not quite nailed the pitch bends but the automation editing in this thing sucks r.n.

This is a big one: We brought on *three!* of the key players in the Sega Channel to reminisce about what it was like to build one of the first major game streaming platforms We went so long that we broke it out into a bonus episode, exclusive to Patreon supporters!

macOS Mojave (the last 32-bit one) runs fine in qemu on linux, if you can suffer through the installation and updates for a few hours. Reaper audio playback seems to work fine, not even doing any hardware passthrough for video or audio. Resurrecting some old music projects from a 2014 macbook.

Good fake ads are an important part of game design craft

I just want to put this out into the universe again. If you are a homebrew game dev of a system that runs on MiSTer (GB, NES,MD, etc) with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to include it in SuperStation’s Season 1 Homebrew DLC Pack. forms.gle/aAja7HEZQnga...

As Amazon was loading their smart home displays up with ads, a group of hardware hackers found a way to liberate a few early models, turning them into stripped-down, useful android displays. aftermath.site/amazon-echo-sh...

world is a fuck. whats the point of making my own models if i cant be self indulgent

No dev or artist gets a chance to be seen or show what they have been working on without others sharing posts. It makes a difference and can lead to them finding work, selling prints and getting wish listed for games and it’s not much but it’s better then doing nothing and dose support them.

Here is one of the completed image boards ("style frames") complete w BG by the great Shinji Kimura. This was the first time we ran our entire cel "pipeline" (smeared brown ink, mottled paint, soft shadows) mated with a real BG. #Tekkon #AmerBeton #anime #アニメ #西見祥示郎 #木村真二 #松本大洋 #鉄コン

It's the Curious Odyssey Steam event! 🎉🎉 The Crimson Diamond is 25% off! store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/... I'll also be streaming from the Steam store page on Friday, March 13 at 8pm Eastern, doing Dev Q&A, showing the game, plus a SNEAK PEAK of my next project! 👀

Calling artists with content on Floppies or CD-ROMs*!! The Digital Heritage Lab is sharing access to our specialist disk imaging equipment. We will show you how to preserve your obsolete disks* (CD-ROMs, Floppies, Zips). The #AusEAASI website has details: auseaasi.org/artist-outre...

I know some people were interested in user levels, but not so keen on joining a Discord server to download/share levels. That's no longer necessary, levels can be downloaded & uploaded directly from within the game now with the latest update!

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only dev with a deep-seated belief in the power of a sittable chair. To add to my thoughts in the video: I think in-game sittable chairs allow devs to be gracious hosts to their players, to help them feel welcome to an experience without an expectation to act.🪑

That one tune in Castlevania III... does it sound like a squeaky hinge, or maybe a plastic straw in a disposable cup?

We're approaching our new Sega Genesis / Mega Drive game GO FOR IT like it's a lost great fighting game from the '90s: - 2 unique versions of the game, with different engines - 29 (!) game trailers - INSANE art book. Comic book. Figurines. - No generative AI Promise to give you our very best!

At the end of this video, recorded one year ago, I mention that I'm hoping to finally release my game Transfer Point (made in World Builder) sometime that month. Hilariously and conveniently that is still true today. I *will* release it by the end of this month!

Happy 37th Birthday to Fujitsu's FM Towns, a computer that pushed the limits of what was possible in 1989. These are the two that I've restored - the UX Towns II in 2020, and the HG Tower in 2023, both for NEON Retrofest. 💿 #retrogaming
