Downland for SMS Day 16 & 17: Finished adjusting collision boxes. Implemented a wipe transition. It's not like the original but it considering the hardware limitations I fell it still works well. Next up is sound. Oh god. #downland #tandy #coco #sega #mastersystem #sms #devkitsms

Let’s give this a try.

Time for another multi disker

Downland for SMS Day 3: Got some rest. Back at it. Making bespoke SMS DLExporter to export the Rom data as loose .c files. Strings, sprites, drop positions, etc. Later I'll be able to figure out the SMS rom banking scheme #downland #tandy #coco #sega #mastersystem #sms #devkitsms

The Fall from Space demo has been updated to... a more recent version! Download the #GameBoy ROM and explore a planet in the star system now. & if you're especially bored, read a typically rambling dev blog with updates on the games development – joelj.itch.io/fall-from-sp...

Downland for Sega Genesis, Day 15: fixed up the sound with advice from @birt_shannon. Finished a few little odds and ends and I do believe the Sega Genesis version is now feature complete! #downland #tandy #coco #sega #genesis #megadrive #sgdk

Shadow Dancer scores for the #MegaDriveChallenge @retrojonesy.bsky.social 978,800 Me 752,300 GothamBeauty 377,000 @hadyn79.bsky.social 278,600 @sonicechoes.bsky.social 186,100 @johnbunday.bsky.social 184,600 3HeadedMonkey 182,400 Well done everybody. Some great scores over the 3 weeks!

It's #Patlaborday today so get in your Ingrams and stop some rampaging Labors! Whilst you're at it, go watch my full playthrough video for Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor: 98-Shiki Kidou Seyo! on #MegaDrive (mostly so you don't need to play it as it's not great 😂)

Did you know the Sega Mega CD BIOS supports the Mega Drive mouse? I didn't till today!

Sega 32X Audio Side Quest, Day 8: Pretty much done with the sound prototype, playing all the Downland sounds correctly with and without looping. Next step is integrating with the game proper. Could experiment with lower sample rates, though. Maybe. #sega #32x #sega32x #audio #sidequest

bumping because this may become relevant again soon #segacd #retrodev #hacking #homebrew

The latest episode of the #MegaCD Appreciation Society has landed and our 5th video sees us thrashing up some very green locales in Road Rash for the system. Go and give @johnbunday.bsky.social and I plus our two compatriots a watch and see what we think! youtu.be/Q2aM4ZwtOtI?...

Downland for Sega 32X, Day 6: implemented screen transitions. Fixed a bug where the ball didn't kill you when touched. Here it is running on hardware. Next up is sound. I can't avoid it anymore. It's my 32X dev weakness. #downland #tandy #coco #sega #32x #sega32x

Obligatory peek at Chords for #ScreenshotSaturday 🎶 A little love for the #SegaGenesis / #MegaDrive dev crowd! #IndieDev #GameDev #Sega #RetroGaming

Downland for Sega 32X, Day 5 part 3: restored the lives icons, the regen animation, and the splat animation. Drawing is now centered. Next up is handling the screen transitions. #downland #tandy #coco #sega #32x #sega32x

@pw32x.bsky.social used the DS as it’s easier to get pictures. When playing one player the score is recorded against player two. Also on the second picture if I touch the floor that you can see I’ve died on I get caught in a respawn/die immediately loop.

🔥 New Patreon post just dropped Something special for paid patrons... Think shiny, think stickers, think Sega Mega CD Konami Snatcher love letter 💌💥 👉 www.patreon.com/posts/134429... #PixelArt #SEGA #Patreon #RetroDev #Snatcher #Konamo

It’s time to space jam!

What's that? A NEW #MegaDrive translation? Yes Nebulous Translations released their patch to play The Hybrid Front by #SEGA in English. Go see what we missed out on back in 1994 (including a PHENOMENAL soundtrack from Naofumi Hataya) youtu.be/pek6Vdl0dr8?...

Check out the latest Between the Scanlines and you get to see my article on Streets of Rage 3 😁

Been a busy boy recently (I don't know how some content creators do it!) with the latest #MegaCD Appreciation Society episode covering B.C. Racers! We've tried a new edit style and added in some credits and stuff to make it more professional. Enjoy! youtu.be/LY28Cx-eNXs?...

YES!

✨ New technical demo is out! ✨ After 6 months of work, I can finally show you the latest progress on The Weave! 🎮 Completely rewritten engine 🎨 All graphics and animations redrawn by hand, pixel by pixel www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK3T...

We've finally got a new issue of Between the Scanlines e-zine coming out on Sunday amid all the hustle on our physical mag post-Kickstarter. Legend Entertainment's adventures, MicroProse dominating sci-fi 4X in '96, and an overview of the Wic64 WLAN interface for C64! betweenthescanlines.itch.io

Got a few interesting things for you today. First, a late prototype of Heavy Nova for the Sega Mega CD. It does not boot, however... (thread) archive.org/details/heav...

The evolution of Chords. Where we were at the start vs Where we are now. #ScreenshotSaturday #SegaMegaDrive #SegaGenesis #GameDev #IndieDev #SGDK

@johnbunday.bsky.social and I get to chatting about Final Fantasy XI and our plans to replay it, what led us to wanting to do so and rabbiting on about the games mechanics. Come join us! youtu.be/1zUKVLaNoio?...

To ensure gf64's legacy will live on I have archived his projects that were only given by Dropbox. If you have any that are not included please let me know and I will add them. For Nikona I didn't include that but linked his GitHub page - archive.org/details/gf64...

Gf64 was instrumental in getting some of my Mega CD conversions done that had extra region locks. He was so talented and dedicated, we’ve lost a true star in the community 😔

Was just made aware of this incredible LEGO Sonic motorised display built off 21331. It's really stunning and I wish I had the space/parts to build something like it

So excited for this!

🚨 Alert! In the latest installment of Chords our hero Akio leaves the cooker on... He doesn't really but if you’re into Visual Novels with Snatcher-style tension and 16-bit mystery then you might like what we're cooking! #IndieDev #SegaGenesis #SGDK

Better give this a try!

Issue 9 of Sega Mania is up to preorder via Kickstarter 😁

The Kickstarter for the first issue of Scanline Artifacts is now live!!!
