Oh, the weather outside is frightful, But the fire is so delightful, And since we've no place to go, Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! 🎶 The totally valid SNES nostalgia for a generation. And the gateway to Onett, Narshe, and Porre I'll always be grateful for. 💜

Retro Endurance 8bit is 40% off for the Steam Winter Sale. This will likely be the cheapest it will ever get with the promised price increase when it soon exits out of Early Access. Go get it! store.steampowered.com/app/3412560/... #indiegames #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #steam

Thinking of Actraiser, I would absolutely love a remake of Actraiser 2 with an added simulation mode like the original. It already has great music, visuals, and fun gameplay mechanics. I still finished and enjoyed that game, but could have been so much better.

New version of Retro Endurance 8bit and I finally did it - I've made 52 different games for it. Latest update adds 4 new games and adds accessibility features. store.steampowered.com/app/3412560/... #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #steam #pixelart

I'm pretty close to finishing Act 3 of Silksong. One thing that struck me at this point is just how amazing the boss battles are. In the original, I never had the urge to re-fight any bosses. However, in Silksong, beating a boss feels incredibly satisfying and makes me want to battle them again.

29 long years have passed since I founded the emulation archive, Zophar's Domain, on 11.9.96. To this very day, the site still stands as a testament to an era that never actually disappeared but continues to live in the hearts of retrogamers all over the word. Emulation Forever!

cool interview with the developer of ZSNES... huge part of my childhood, definitely played a pretty big role in me wanting to learn how to make games

Got a lot of people asking about this, so tonight (10/30) at 9:00PM - on the live channel - we make it happen. 👇

The @zsknight.bsky.social interview has been an amazing success and I want to thank you all for the support! Go check out his new game, Retro Endurance 8-Bit! Also I've also updated our membership offerings over on the main YouTube channel for those wishing to support me. 👇

It's now time for me to get out of my introvertedness with my interview with Zophar. It was a fun interview, so be sure to watch it!

Finally finished Hollow Knight. Originally put it off a few years ago as the theme didn't click with me, but tried it again recently and loved it. Great gameplay, challenge, level design, and environments. Tons of little details and encounters that makes it feel extra special. Highly recommended!

Making some really good progress with my marble madness clone. Used a custom 2d physics engine with height displacement to get it working. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #steam #pixelart

Going to attempt to reproduce gameplay of Marble Madness for Retro Endurance 8bit. Doing the physics in 2D space would be interesting. Always been amazed that they could implement this game with its physics on the NES of all consoles. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #steam #pixelart

The thing I'm most excited about the Switch 2 is to see how far Nintendo can stretch that extra performance. Already starting to see it with the open world Mario Kart, so it's starting to look good. Still bummed with no new Mario, but hope to see it soon.

Retro Endurance Game #32 featuring a hungry caterpillar. A snake style clone, but less punishing as the game keeps going even if you eat your tail. The longer your tail, the higher the score of each fruit you eat. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #steam #pixelart

@jeffgerstmann.com I don't think anything can beat Mr. Do's Castle, but here's my attempt of creating something inspired by it. A bit of Mr.Do's Castle, classic Mario Bros, and Wrecking Crew. Plus jars. Who doesn't like to break jars?

The very first speedrun contest on Zophar's Domain was Metroid for the NES. Do you remember it? youtu.be/vWJdifTTrzM

I had a ton of fun making Zophar's Retro Rewind Episode 2: Speedrunning in the 90s - and hope you all enjoy it!

Today I took a look at a cool new WarioWare-esque thing called Retro Endurance 8bit and then I messed around with the Satiator to play some Saturn games. A solid Wednesday!

Haha, no problem, it seems really cool so far! I mean it could use a little more Mr. Do!'s Castle, then but then I'd say that about most things so maybe I'm not the best judge of that.

@jeffgerstmann.com Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for playing my game! What an honor! Now I gotta get a game about a clown with a mallet destroying unicorns a reality! www.twitch.tv/jeffgerstmann
