This weekend we're celebrating 10 years since we adopted our little Binx! She's the boss of our household. A few months ago, she started developing neurological issues and isn't getting around as well. She's on meds, but mostly we're just keeping her happy and enjoying what time we have left 🐰

I haven't posted about Prismidia lately, so I just wanted to say it's going well. My day job has been busy, and this is going to be a long project for us. But we're making progress every week!

Nintendo acknowledging that Kid Icarus exists?! it's a Thanksgiving Miracle! Now remake Uprising with modern controls!

Here it is! Castlevania II: Enhanced Edition on the SNES! Huge shoutouts to Bizqwit for original NES hack, it make this game so much more polished and approachable. I'll drop some details in replies here; the hack is available here: mega.nz/folder/g5Jl1... or archive.org/details/cast...

Stage 4 is taking shape #ScreenshotSaturday

Just posted a quick update to our alpha demo that should hopefully fix issues with certain controllers (especially PS4+PS5). See the demo Itch link pinned on my profile

We're excited to announce the first playable demo of Prismidia! Check out the trailer below and download the alpha demo on Itch! ▶️ Demo on Itch: chaindamagegames.itch.io/prismidia-sp... #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #ScreenshotSaturday

Hey, it's #ScreenshotSaturday I haven't posted much lately, but we're making progress on our game! #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #bullethell

Excited to release version 1.0 of my SNES port of the NES game Life Force! A classic Konami Shoot-em-up, now with no sprite flicker, no slowdown, FIVE sick CD Quality soundtracks (courtesy of @goddamnbathead.bsky.social and Relikk), 8 palettes, difficulty selection, and optional lives adjustment!

We got to test our game on Steam Deck this weekend, and it works! There were a few minor issues, but now I know what to fix. ▶️ Steam link: store.steampowered.com/app/3595820 #gamedev #indiegame #shmup #bullethell

I've been checking out Stellavanity and just cleared Arcade difficulty. Really fun game youtu.be/YfdUiqSx2W8

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Here's a preview of the stage 1 miniboss and the side panels we're working on. There will be a variety of info panels you can choose from #gamedev #indiegame #shmup

The last 4 games I played. One from the 80s, two from the 90s, and one from the 00s. Rayforce is definitely my favorite from this group!

I've been checking out Gun Frontier, a pretty cool shmup for 1990. The Saturn port has an Easy difficulty, which made it a fun way to grab a casual 1CC youtu.be/ihGxqEa-3rs

We announced our game last week, and I just wanted to say thanks for all the love! 💙 Also, I promise this account won't be 100% self promotion. I'll share what we're working on, but also other geeky things I'm into. Our 2nd account, @chaindamagegames.bsky.social will just be for promoting the game

Here it is - the first trailer for our game! We're excited to finally show off what we've made so far. And we have a Steam page now! ▶️ Steam link: store.steampowered.com/app/3595820 #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames #shmup #ScreenshotSaturday

We're getting ready to post a trailer and Steam page for the shmup we're making! I think tomorrow is the big day. We also made a separate account for our business name - @chaindamagegames.bsky.social - so I'll share some stuff over there, too

I've been trying to learn Mushihimesama Futari 1.5 Maniac, but I wasn't prepared for how hard this mode is! I cleared Black Label Maniac a couple of years ago, and I thought 1.5 Maniac would be a little harder. But it's a dramatic difference! I'm having fun, but holy moly

Hey, it's #ScreenshotSaturday! Over this past week, we've been refining the scoring system and working on graphics for the second boss. There's a lot to do, but we're having fun 😊 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #shmup

What's up #ScreenshotSaturday folks? We're making progress on our shoot 'em up. Looking forward to revealing the title, trailer, and Steam page soon(ish)! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #shmup

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Here's a miniboss from the bullet hell shmup we're making. I'm still trying to figure out the best way to post these clips without Bluesky blurring the pixel art too much #gamedev #indiegame

Another Cave shmup conquered - Espgaluda 2. With this, I've met my goal of 10 Cave 1CCs!

The latest additions to our collection!

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! I've never posted one of these before, but here's a preview of the game we're making. It's a bullet hell style shoot 'em up. More details coming soon #gamedev #indiegame #shmup

I did the thing! 1CC in DoDonPachi DaiOuJou BL. I'll post the video later 🐝

So, this happened tonight. I'll get it next time.

I finished customizing my arcade stick today. It's a Mayflash F700 with Seimitsu parts and art from Gradius. It's really fun to play on this!

Got a new personal best in DoDonPachi DaiOuJou. I can see a pixel of the final boss at the top of the screen! Does that mean I made it to the final boss? The main problem is that I didn't get 50m to get another life. I'll have to work on that. #shmup

I've been playing DoDonPachi DaiOuJou lately, and I'm down to a 2CC so far. Progress!

📢📢📢 IT'S OUT!!! 📢📢📢 STARLIT REVERIE'S DEMO IS LIVE! After a bit of delay, the game is now yours to enjoy!!! Play, dodge, lose, win, and score in (the first half/chapter? of) this score attack bullet hell #STG! Available NOW for itch dot io on Windows!!! kevinmonitor.itch.io/starlit-reve...

I heard there's a thing where you post a random game from your collection on Saturday. So, here's Druid for the Famicom Disk System. It's a fun little adventure reminiscent of Gauntlet.

Sorry to hear this news. I only knew about Miho Nakayama from the FDS game, but I know she had a lot of fans. And only 54! RIP

Happy 40th birthday to Marble Madness! 🎉 I keep noticing that games I grew up with are turning 40. This year also included Pac-Land, Kung Fu, and Excitebike. Next year will be a big one with Super Mario Bros.

Today's the last day to grab Espgaluda II and DoDoPachi Resurrection on Switch before they're removed from the eshop. I recommend both! It's a shame when games like this get removed. Links: www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro... and www.nintendo.com/us/store/pro...

Hi, I'm fruitbatsalad but my friends call me FBS. I'm here to escape real life and talk video games. I like: 🌸 Retro games: NES, Famicom, etc 🌸 Shmups: Mushihimesama, Espgaluda, etc 🌸 Speedrunning: Super Metroid, Kid Icarus 🌸 Indie game development: Top secret project to be revealed soon #promosky

I've been hopping around between different Cave shmups lately, and I got this 2 credit clear today. A 1CC will be tough, but I'll get there eventually! youtu.be/FP05RhXoD2k

Got a 1 credit clear in Progear 😊 youtu.be/H7OBfuR9nCk?...
