Soooo... I gonna be honest... I am at a loss... The project I was working on got bigger in scope than i like it so eventually it became too big to tackle for me once again... Now I am starring at the wall again with no idea what to work on next. Game Dev is hard... what do I do? #gamedev

Dang this made my belly go upside down, it's frustrating. This is good to watch for anyone who makes art, as it shows the struggles from the developers view... It's hard to find artists, sure. But the real problem at the core nowadays seems to have the connections. www.youtube.com/watch?v=rttL...

Sorry for the lack of updates. Currently working on a bigger project that was supposed to be done at mothers day but usual dipstick Hiro overscoped, so it will take a bit longer. More Infomation once it gets more "presentable". In the meantime, juz played my hack 🙂: www.twitch.tv/juzcook/clip...

I guess this is the reason nobody knew my hack came out... fair enough. Classic. This site starts to feel more like that hellhole i just went away from. Down to the amounts of "art" lately popping up that I don't want to see. *sign, why does it have to be like this every time?

Here is the Vod, now uploaded onto YouTube. 🥳 I thought might be useful or interesting for those looking to make their own masterpieces. 🙂 The whole Stream (minus the BRB breaks) is here. 🎉 www.youtube.com/watch?v=94P2... PLEASE DON'T WATCH IF YOU PLAN ON PLAYING THE HACK!!! BIG SPOILERINOS! 😱😱😱

Hi everyone! Let me know when someone tries this out or plays it, since I am curious to know. Doesn't matter if Youtube or Twitch.🙂 Can only become a better creator by watching and learning what I can improve.😉 Wanna see people play and having fun and overcomming the challenges which are ahead.😁

Sorry for the delay but I finally finished my first ever solo Hack and 'uploaded' it to SMWC. 🎉🎉🎉 You can find and download it here! bin.smwcentral.net/u/700/Secret... Thank you so much guys and I look forward to see ya guys play it and in the future for more fun hacks. 🥳 Hope ya all enjoy it! ❤️

This is your friendly reminder to be careful today. It's April 1st and while jokes can be fun, sometimes they aren't and i am in particular not a fan of this day. So, be careful out there.

Alright, finally got around and start uploading all the parts of the Nintendesi Multiworld and the even as a bonus the little FFMQ Rando segment. I finally figured out some decent settings for Da Vinchi Resolve and it no longer gets stuck randomly (which was a pain too figure out, let me tell ya).

Alright, the first video is still gonna take a while so... sorry for the wait. 😔 Meanwhile, anybody know a usb device i could use on pc to use as a controller with little trouble (i have no soldering skillz/space)? I would be interested to make a game with a unique controller as a limitation. 😊

I realized that I haven’t posted any creations here in quite a bit.

The first video is in the pipeline.🙂 But since I wanna be serious with my goals this year, do you guys want me to make smaller, bite-sized Lunar Magic Tutorials and if the answer is "YES" then "WHAT" do you want to see getting covered in it?☺️ Remember, can't do everything so keep the scope small.🙂

Forgot to mention: Last year for Christmas I made a personal SMW romhack for my brother, which included a IRL escape room esque search hunt in our house. Thats right, I actually finished something in a long time again. I used this project to play around with some stuff while ignoring the gfx side.

Here we go, new year, new resolutions! In 2026, my plans are: * at least ONE Team Dicks HOSTED hack (collab, solo, etc.) * at least ONE hack/mod of a non SMW hack * at least TWO new YT videos * at least THREE livestreams this year * at least ONE good enough prototype of an actual new game by myself

Well the year 2025 came to an end... and with that, i failed most of my new year's resolutions. I am sorry for being such a let down already into the year 2026. Most of these were unexpectly blocked by either IRL issues, work or motivation not being there. This year, i wanna try again, but less. 🙇‍♂️

Alright, let's finish this: www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft Going to be live soon! It's time we serve the bacon for our festive async multiworld and finish it for good. Ganon, we come for your pork! 🫵😠

Guess who is going back to alttp and got their fire rod sent? 🙃 shorter extra stream: www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft

And that is it, 3 streams this year i have completed! However, i plan still more until we beaten that multiworld so I hope to see ya all next time 🙂👍. I also got a lot of progress in ALTTP and SMW is beaten. Soon, Ganon goes down. I am sure of it. ✊

We shall continue our Async Multiworld today right now! We got capes from our friends, so let's see if we can beat SMW today and how much progress we can make in ALTTP. 👍 Where? Well, on this Twitch channel of course: www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft

www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft We continue the multiworld with some SMW to start things off and then maybe switching to ALTTP later... now that I spent the time to recollect the missing items, we can again play and progress 🥳:

Well, there goes an hour but we are back in business, just didn't get everything back (only the essentials) and have now a bit more keys and money than before but whatever... also i need to do reopen and redo certain doors and events but that is the least of my concerns now 🙂👍:

"Well this was a fun stream... did get a nice amount of progress done and can't wait to continue next time and do more things. Lets make sure my save file is there and..." FUCK 😔 Currently debating if i drop the alttp seed and just finish the smw seed. sorry once again... sigh...

Lol, Time to start with the promised streams for 2025... only took me 11 months 🙃. www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft We will be going to the classics and play an ALTTP and SMW randomizer seed in @nintendesi.bsky.social 's first async multiworld (with 39 seeds in total play). We about to start right NOW! 😱

Completely forgot I still had an account on Twitter for one of my game dev projects. I decided to clean that whole thing and then shut it down by deactivating that account over there for good.

I hate having to apologize once more... i am getting a bit sick of this but... sorry for no Halloween Stream this year AGAIN. Had plans, but...😑 Family had different plans and now i have a battery cushion to deal with... not wanting to fly into the stratosphere I have to deal with that stuff asap.

👻 Yearly reminder for Wario Land 4 (or Wario in general) fans and people looking for a Halloween themed small hack to play, I made this neat 1 level Wario Land 4 hack. Hack: www.romhacking.net/hacks/6909/ Trailer: www.youtube.com/watch?v=r9xD... Retroachievements: retroachievements.org/game/25058

I am gonna be honest... I won't be able to finish everything on this list... Heck, I don't see me even finishing half of it... I really did make a clown out of myself... Still, I am gonna try some of these things. So here is a thread with what i think i can't accomplish and what i will do:

Man, i just can't... for some reason, i lost the motivation for everything. Wanna work on a games project? Not in the mood... Wanna finish a started project? Not in the mood... Wanna try something fresh? Not in the mood... Wanna play games? A waste of time... What does one do in this situation? 😔

I wrote this in a couple servers, but I'll say it here too: jokes about me losing my accounts are not welcome, and jokes made before I got my Twitch account back were especially awful. Any made from here on out, on twitch or wherever, will be met with a ban from my spaces.

I have my twitch account back btw. Thank you @thabeast721.bsky.social and whoever your friend is for your work.

My Twitch account was hacked, and a hacker is masquerading as a partnered account on Twitch. Twitch won't do anything to help fix this. How many more of us need to be hacked and lose everything until they decide to help restore our accounts?

Big scam warning!!! If you noticed, @shovda.bsky.social got hacked by a scammer. Unfortenately @nintendesi.bsky.social got also affected by it. The scamer is currently posting in his discord with his account, DONT CLICK ANYTHING!! He banned me on his server and pretends to work on a game!!

My account got hacked on Discord. Heads up.

nothing destroys my motivation to work on a surprise project for my bro more than when he just busts into my room, unnannounced, instantly, without knocking and him instantly seeing what i am working on and asking me "HHMMMM? WHATZ DIZ?" another project i can toss into the bin cause he has seen it

Doing this before I go to bed... good idea... 🤭 ***Okay, everyone, hit me up with game theme ideas!*** I simply can't start with a project on my own clearly without one... preferably something I can do in 2D. Notice, "theme", as in "game jam theme", not "game idea". 🙂 👆 Thank you! 🙇‍♂️ #gamedev

youtu.be/bVyhAHVqPSk Alright, here is video #1 for this year's resolution. Enjoy. 🙂👍

Bumping this one again: I got the new PC mostly setup and ready to go. I am ready to work on some stuff but some nudges/suggestions what people would love to see me do. Just answer the replies in that post linked below with your answers. Hopefully i can do something soon. First, i do a new video~

So... what is the Hiro doing lately? Got a new PC and now am still working on transfering and setting up everything. This so far is taking me 3 days and will probably waste my whole weekend. My old PC was fine but it clearly is already a bit old. I thought it might be best to upgrade in advance.

To finally get a move on these, I will ask everyone who see's this/who follow me a few questions to hopefully make things easier for me. pls check & answer the following replies in this chain 🙂 :

Hahahahahaha... why do I have to be so unreasonable dumb? Guess how many of these i did? Take a wild guess! I am so dead...

Bruh... 95$ for a pair of joycons... I am dying... they really asking that much for a pair of gimmick controllers that probably will have drift again? LMAO This whole list is a joke man. I am glad I distance myself from modern gaming most of the time... 😂

So, this "Mario Kart World '''DIRECT''' nintendo made, to show us, why the game costs so much money and that it is totally worth that money... I am gonna sum it up in one setence: "This wasn't a worthy direct and should have been instead been shown at the Switch 2 direct!" Also, rewind? really?

Perfectionism

Alright, hello #gamedev people! I am looking for ways to get into music composing or finding ressources about learning making my own music. I am a bloody beginner who really can't compose/make music so... anything simple to ease me in would be amazing. 👍 Currently I can program a bit and do art 🙂👍

Asking this curious question once more... obviously with 0 reason besides "I just wanna know"... no troll, for real😁💦

"Hard to see the bullets and honestly, the GAME just doesn't look as good in this 3D perspective." ~ here, fixed it... sorry I am tired also, long day at work... as usual... 🫠

Got the news and I might say this... this nintendo direct showed me i will not buy the switch 2 or a next gen console. The price of the console is way too steep for my income, the update costs for previous titles are honestly baffling for a lot of them and games lineup not as interesting for me.

So here is an odd question (that has no big reason other than curiosity). If there were a vampire hunter/killer in the super mario series, what kind of species would they be? Think of stuff, say... Castlevania-esque setting.
