Another great video by Reassembler! This one is on sprite caching, something I've been working my lately myself, so it's come at the perfect time.

I have to do a refactor of my Shinobi game to reclaim more MAIN memory as I've completley run out. I decided to PoC it first, rather than fight Shinobi while refactoring, thus Bubble Bobble PoC was born! #CommanderX16 #RetroGaming #GameDev #PixelArt #Sega #retro #8bit

Not sure if using AI for adversarial code reviews is turning me into a 10x developer, or just a 10x more insecure one. 😂 #development #ai

I wrote a PlayStation emulator earlier in the year. It doesn't run everything I want yet, but it was great fun and I learned a lot of interesting things along the way (don't look at SPOILERS.md if you ever intend to write your own one day) github.com/howprice/hop...

This has been a tricky week for being able to focus on making art, and also a zero sales kind of a week, so if anyone wishes some original art in their life, just sayin, I’ve got some. www.chloecumming.com

Well that's a turnip for the books. It looks like the port 0x00FE fix for Vectron and the floating bus fix has sorted Cobra out. This is the original version, not the one with the +2A/+3 bug fix. Feeling pretty chuffed about that.

Watching YT videos explaining how AI companies and chip manufacturers are funding shell companies with $10m, to buy their products for $40m, so they gain $30m on thier books with zero money. Absolutely crazy how we're watching this car crash in slow motion. #ai #stockmarket

I need to take a break from Shinobi burnout, so I've resurected a project I started around 8 months ago - replatforming Disch's FF1 disassembly on the Commander X16. youtu.be/hentC4ewklY Hope you like it! #CommanderX16 #NES #RetroGaming #GameDev #PixelArt #Nintendo #retro #8bit #finalfantasy

Huge update to my project! My latest Dev Update 5 video shows some of the things I've added to Shinobi over the last week or so, but there's also alot under the hood. Hope you enjoy it! youtu.be/lwqgvmF4QeI #CommanderX16 #Shinobi #RetroGaming #GameDev #PixelArt #Sega #retro #8bit

I'd love to see an Amiga successor based on RISC V.

I took way too long on the main menu before the game is even finished 🤣 #indiegamedev #gamedev #commanderx16 #retrodev #8bit

Want to see the #CommanderX16 handling a ton of #Sega System16A sprites at the same time? I've always been happy with my work, but this is probably the most proud I've ever been of some code 😁😁😁 Per-slot demand-pinned VRAM frame cache w/ render and AI code living in HIRAM. #gamedev #retro #8bit

Anyone else do really geeky things on their personal projects that would usall be reserved for the workplace? 😜 No? Just me? Ahem... okay.... 😂 Here's a nice graph of my free MAIN and STACK over the last 86 PR for you to "enjoy" 😂

Dev Update 4 for Shinobi on the Commander X16. I've now got to the point where I need to significantly refactor the sprite engine so I can get more things on screen. I've PoC'd it out in a demo and it works, so next up is porting it to Shinobi and scaling it up. #gamedev #retro #8bit #retrogaming

PoC of a new sprite engine for the #CommanderX16. I took advice from devs in the community Discord and I'm streaming RLE compressed sprite frames straight from HIRAM into VRAM decompressing then swapping the pointer to update to the next frame. Now I need to implement this in Shinobi 🥷 #gamedev

Petal Panic for the Commodore 64 (by Piggy 18) is a nice single screen platformer in development. The player's goal, as a farmer, is to seed the green areas. Well made and polished game, recommended. More info: piggy18.itch.io/petal-panic Credit x.com/dantemendes #Commodore #Commodore64 #C64

Looking for anyone deep in Sega System 16 Z80 sound driver internals. I've ripped the YM2151 voice patches from the sound ROM ($0E4E table on Shinobi). What I'm missing is the SFX choreo voice note duration for in-game effects like the shuriken. Anyone help? #mame #arcade #ym2151 #retrodev

Happy pride month. Remember to kiss your homies goodnight.

It’s totally fine if you just tell everyone that their AI art looks and sounds like utter shit because I promise you computers don’t get offended.

This weeks work on Shinobi for the CommanderX16! The music is awesome on the CX16, using the same sound chip helps a lot. A few details like jumping over the barriers correctly took a lot of time. Next up: saving VRAM. #CommanderX16 #Shinobi #RetroGaming #GameDev #PixelArt #Sega #retro #8bit

Today is going to be spent authoring collision on the original Shinobi maps using the excellent Tiled from @thorbjorn.itch.io. I might have a pop and completing some of the weird maps left in the ROM too. #retrogameDev #commanderX16 #c #development #8bit

Huge thanks to @h0ffman.bsky.social for the arcade Shinobi assets! I've now got full level loading, parallax scrolling and arcade-faithful platform jumps running on the Commander X16! Next up: Joe's weapons 🗡️ #CommanderX16 #Shinobi #RetroGaming #GameDev #PixelArt #Sega #retro #8bit

Dev Update 2 on my Shinobi: Commander X16 rewrite. I've moved to arcade fidelity graphics, which look absolutely awsome on the Commander X16! #RetroGameDev #GameDev #DevLog #Homebrew #IndieGame #C #CommanderX16 #X16 #VERA #Shinobi #SEGA #Arcade #ReverseEngineering #MAME #RetroComputing #8bit

@h0ffman.bsky.social Hey! I've been playing with the idea of writing a Shinobi clone for the Commander X16 and I've got some basics working. I've been using the SMS tiles and sprites, but I was wondering if you have a dump of the arcade tiles and sprites from your NeoGeo port? youtu.be/tOdeHRgRR3A

Update on my Pac-Man remake for the Agon Light 2 This has been an on/off project since '24, when I started I intended to finish by December '24. Two years later and it's playable, but still not finished 🤣 #RetroGameDev #Z80 #eZ80 #Agon #AgonLight2 #RetroComputing #8bit

Someone just bought my game on itch.io! 🕹️ ​It not about the money. It’s the fact that someone saw work from a dev making "neo-retro" games and thought it was worth their time and effort to buy it. ​Getting that email has honestly been the highlight of my year. 💻✨ ​#IndieDev #RetroGaming #Gamedev

I don't post on politics much: Burnham will lose to a Reform candidate in Makerfield This will leave either Streeting or Miliband as PM, with the other as Deputy Neither of those will win the next General Election, called early in Spring 2028 The country will be cooked until 2033 🥵🤢🫣😭

Game idea: OnlyFans SHMU. You're an 20 year old firing dollars at OF models flying over holiday resorts. End of level bosses are well know content creators, They only go away when you've filled up the cash bar. Options menu has male skins for inclusivity. Sound track featuring Bhad Bharbi.

Dev update 4. This time I've shown off the Agon Ligh 2 / Console8 port as it's had a LOT of work in the last few days. I've implmented full double buffering on the Agon to get rid of some flickering I was experiencing. I've also got interactions working... www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_pL...

Speech bubbles and interactive items took far too long to implement! However, I've hooked the events and text up to properties from Tiled maps, so I can now add/remove/change them without touching any asm at all! #retrogamedev #commanderx16 #tiled #asm

Here's this week's update! The two big pieces to land are the Retro Bank Manager (RBM) - pages levels, options screens, etc. in and out from disk to overcome the memory limits. PLUS multiple rooms! youtu.be/4EGcGrGdadg #retrogamedev #6502 #z80 #neo6502 #agonlight #commanderx16

@studio8502.ca I didn't want to hijack your post, but this is my indie project: youtu.be/ubnrDQVEtLc It's a wannabe The Last of Us/Zelda/Final Fantasy type game for the Commander X16, Neo6502 and Agon. I'll be adding your machine to the build list when I can buy one!

I've ported my test project to the #PCEngine / #TurboGrafx-16 as it has a good developer toolchain and wasn't too different to the #Neo6502 and #CommanderX16. If anyone has the actual hardware, please test it! Worm now plays on the PC Engine / TurboGrafx-16! andymccall.itch.io/worm/devlog/...

I've always had a dream of writing a Final Fantasy zombie/The last of Us style 8-bit game. This week I started working on it using the knowledge I've gained from the Final Fantasy port. Like all my other projects, don't ever expect this to get finished! #neo6502 #retrogamedev

@malibudarby87.bsky.social Hi! Sorry to contact you out of the blue - are you the same person who's selling great 8-bit asset packs on itch.io?

I've published my first game on itch.io. It's a Worm / Snake game for the Commander X16 and Neo6502. andymccall.itch.io/worm Over the next few weeks I'm going to try and port it to the ZX Spectrum Next and the Agon Light 2. #retrogamedev #zx #agonlight2 #neo6502 #commanderx16 #6502 #z80 #asm
