We finally finished the last major feature we wanted!! Event debugging & stepping!!! Now you can stop and review execution at specific moments! With the help of detached code, debugging is much easier now! ( •̀_•́ )🔍💻 #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finished the event, script & text search! Now, you search for a specific event or text, and it will show you where it has been used to help with refactors! ( •̀ ω •́ )🔍 #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finished integrating the ROM usage stats! Now, you can see your assets make the ROM bigger and bigger with each game iteration! ( . •́ _ʖ •̀ .) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We can finally show our secret feature! We've been working on a tracker that will be shipped with MD Engine! ヾ(´〇`)ﾉ♪♪♪ It won't be as powerful as Deflemask or Furnace, but it should be capable of doing music composition for most cases! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finished script window detach support! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ Now you can take advantage of two monitors to script while checking the scene!! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finally had time to advance on the design and printing tests for our first release! The bundle of Square Brothers and Inkventure! We just need to finish the stickers and such freebies! (◕‿◕✿) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We have been working on a surprise feature for #MDEngine for a few weeks now!!! Hopefully, we will have a short clip very soon! What could it be....?

We are finally done with the first two types of slopes!! (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) This covers the initial batch, we will be adding more slowly haha. Next would be adding MDSDRV support! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finally finished the plugin support! The idea is, you write some basic C or ASM code, create the event JS file, and it gets called normally! It took a lot of adjustments to properly support it, so hopefully people use it haha! ლ(¯ロ¯"ლ) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We have been making some progress with slopes! Drawing and exporting are finished! Next would be actual collisions (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finally finished integrating the collision gridding system into MD Engine! It was designed by the awesome @shannonbirt.bsky.social! It helps boost performance tremendously for our current shooter examples! It is also highly configurable! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We've released the very first AppImage done with MD Engine, it is for Prisonela MD! If anyone has Linux we would love any possible feedback! https://twoblackcats.itch.io/prisonelamd/devlog/1359347/added-linux-appimage #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart #linux

We've finished the Linux support! You can export as a simple binary or as AppImage now! We're considering support .deb files as well, but we're not sure if it would be worth it... bsky.app/profile/did:...

We've been working on the Linux native export! We're almost done integrating everything into MD Engine to allow exporting native Linux versions of the games! (　･ω･)☞ Tested on Kubuntu & Mint so far! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

We finally finished the last text mode we wanted to do! It loads a few of the extended ASCII characters into the VDP to be able to draw most EFIGS language words! (´･ᴗ･ ` ) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

We finally managed to get back working normally after most of the team was sick during January! (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) We've been working on a new text mode to render EFIGS languages! Hopefully we will finish it today! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

"WoodFrog" just shared some new gameplay for their upcoming #homebrew game "Till & Hat" A hectic, action platformer for the #SNES, packing some pretty great effects, all without any apparent framedrops #retrogaming #retro #indie #gamedev #indiedev #Nintendo #gaming #retrogames #pixelart #homebrews

We've finally finished supporting Horizontal Blank callbacks!! Changing the palette mid-frame is now possible!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ💦 #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

I don't have much to show *yet* but I've recently been playing around with MDEngine and it's all I can think about at the moment. Incredibly excited for this project @twoblackcats.jp youtu.be/0A1obMBxWPQ?...

We've just updated our Steam beta version! You can read a detailed change log on the Steam news! 👇(･ω･)🤙 store.steampowered.com/news/app/370...

We've finally finished supporting Horizontal Blank callbacks!! Changing the palette mid-frame is now possible!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ💦 #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

This does look pretty cool. I hope it works well!

If you ever thought "man I wish there was GB studio but for the genesis/mega drive" YOUR WISH HAS BEEN GRANTED It's taking everything within me to not just dump the GB/GBC version of Origin of Skies to work on a full-fledged Genesis version lol www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A1o...

This looks very impressive. I've never been interested in Megadrive dev, but this could change that.

this is so badass please go check it out

We finally finished MD Engine trailer!! You can watch it here ( ˘▽˘)っ www.youtube.com/watch?v=0A1o... #MDEngine #megadrive #genesis #sgdk #gamedev #indiedev

QUE VA A SALIR EL MD ENGINE, PARA SACAR JUEGOS DE MEGADRIVE, INSPIRADO TOTALMENTE EN GB STUDIO?!?!? Bueno, pues habrá que meterse de lleno cuando salga esto. Menuda maravilla ver que las consolas siguen revitalizadas

Un fork de GBStudio para crear juegos de Mega Drive que está a punto de caramelo. Por favor, dejadme respirar. mdengine.dev

Après le SGDK et le moteur Scorpion (et sans doute d'autres qu'on ne connaît pas), voici MD Engine, un fork de GB Studio signé @twoblackcats.jp pour créer facilement des jeux Mega Drive mag.mo5.com/275923/md-en...

Okay so yea this is, without any hyperbole, GB Studio but for MD. And it's looking awesome. Will be all over this the moment it drops.

Great news for the #retrogamedev community!

There is work being done on Solid-State Soldier bosses !! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew

Enemies finally shooting you back on Solid-State Soldier!!! #megadrive #mdengine #gamedev #indiedev #sgdk #homebrew
