Wishing I was heading east to be part of another RetroGameCon this weekend, but alas, I chose to save myself for Really Rad Weekend next month. I hope everyone has fun in Syracuse, and I am really excited to head back to Fort Walton Beach, namesake for our own Walton the Turtle! 🐢

For Release: Turtle Time Media has been acquired by a private equity firm for a crisp new $2 bill. Walton the Turtle will retain his current role as "the best." #indiedev #nesdev

Joe has done A LOT for the NESdev community over the years and is the reason Orebody Inc. exists today. I just backed Byte-Off V: A Bit of Mystery on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/131...

Midwest Gaming Classic is only one week away! Who else will be there?

Want to be among the first to play new #NES games? Heading to Milwaukee for #MidwestGamingClassic? Make sure to RSVP for the Byte-Off Awards (free to attend with MGC ticket)! www.eventbrite.com/e/nesmaker-b...

Packey, a new dot-gobbler genre game for the NES is now playable on the Retroverse as part of Byte Off V! Pac-Man was the first character I loved as a child and I always wanted to make a quality Pac-clone and here it is! theretroverse.com/product/pack...

The #NESmaker #ByteOff submission window is officially open and we have uploaded our submission: PACKEY! #nesdev #indiedev 🐢 theretroverse.com/product/pack...

If you’re a game developer near northwest Florida or willing to travel here in November, I have space for you to show off your game for free at Really Rad Weekend. Shoot me a DM.

Toby and Packey are looking forward to unveiling our newest NES demo as part of Byte Off V.

The past Byte-Off #nesdev competitions have generated many new classic games for the NES. I look forward to seeing this year's submissions!

As every year around this time, the NESmaker Byte Off competition (organized by @nesmaker.bsky.social) is about to begin! ➡️ Follow the launch: www.thenew8bitheroes.com/byteoffv #NES #homebrew #nesdev #NESmaker #indiegames #gamedev #ファミコン #同人ゲーム

Ever since the beginning, I have had a "Skip the Straw / Save a Turtle" seal on my games and merchandise. I feel it is wrong to continue to pollute in ways known to be harmful to other species, like our sea turtle friends, when other options are easily available. #skipthestraw

Back in 2021, I developed #TurtlePaint for the NES as an escape from everyday life. Today, we need that more than ever. If you crave a stress-free and creative experience, please give my game a try. www.ebay.com/itm/20455573...

I'm finding that eBay is now my new social media platform of choice. Just look at all those games and toys!
