Added a new fireball launching hazard to the game, pretty happy with it! 🔥 (still working on the player sprite, movement, etc...) #nesdev #gamedev

Added some little green enemies to the game! Currently they just move back and forth on their platforms. What should I call them? (also, they may change some... but maybe not) #gamedev #nesdev

Doing some sprite work for my #NES game with a little custom editor I cooked up... #gamedev #indiedev #nesdev

Hey everyone, lots of talk about how the current state of gaming is in a rough place… hardware prices are too high, game quality is questionable… I HAVE THE SOLUTION! Play old games! There are literally 10s of thousands of games you probably never played! From 80s, 90s, 2ks+

Testing the water here with my #retrogaming community… what is the appetite like for physical homebrew NES games? I am making one for fun, and if it becomes solid enough I am considering having full CIB versions made for myself. Wondering if I should make more?

More updates: retrogamingdev.itch.io/retro-ladder... New: - Sound Effects - Gamepad Support

New pickup for the #NES collection! Anyone a fan of Adventure Island? #retrogaming #nintendo

Doing some minimalistic #gamedev here with a little mini arcade style platformer. Works in browser, mobile and with a joypad if you have one. retrogamingdev.itch.io/retro-ladder... #indiegame #indiedev #retrogaming #arcade

Well, my submission for #PirateJam (by @piratesoftware.live ) is up - with minutes to spare 😆 It is called “Signal in the Dark”. retrogamingdev.itch.io/signal-in-th... #gamedev #gamejam #IndieGameDev

Who remembers the 80s classic cartoon M.A.S.K. ? And why is this song so killer?!! #retroflashback #80s www.youtube.com/shorts/0gd43...

Is there a more iconic 80s fantasy movie than The Neverending Story? #retroFlashback youtube.com/shorts/Agq8z...

👾 How awesome is this 80s #VideoGame commercial? The guy is cracking me up! 🤣🤣 #atari #starwars #retroFlashback youtube.com/shorts/X0W9Z...

Do you remember this #Sega Genesis commercial? #1980s #retrogaming #commercials #retroFlashback youtube.com/shorts/9JFmk...

Who remembers this commercial? #retro #1980s #1990s #oldschool

Finally got around to hanging some Mario wall art my wife got me for Christmas! Looks pretty sweet! #nintendo #mario #retrogaming

New high score! #balatro

Not a full run, so I can't submit to #GWPHighScore... but here was a practice run I made on Contra to see how far and fast I could get! www.youtube.com/watch?v=JOvs...

You know what I kind of miss? I can't even specifically name what it is - but there was this sort of nerd/geek culture revival late 2000's into early 2010's. I feel like there was all these people and small companies celebrating nerd/geek stuff that was fairly organic. Even bigger companies like...

Well, I gave in to the hype for @playbalatro.com and I am not mad at all! The game is really really fun! I can see why it got so many awards! It is fun, simple in approach, but has a lot of depth. The visuals are great (I love retro!) and the music and SFX fit so well. www.twitch.tv/videos/23763...

With the @piratesoftware.live Game Jam over, I have setup a second game listing on itch.io so I can continue to provide updates to this game! I am really pumped to keep moving on it, so check this one for updates! #gamedev #indiegame retrogamingdev.itch.io/artifacts-es...

Ok, trying again with right link: My Pirate Jam 16 entry is at a pretty final demo state for judging. There maybe a couple smallish changes, but with only a day or so left this might be pretty close to a wrap (for now). retrogamingdev.itch.io/artifacts-es... #gamedev #indiegame

Added some new simple levels to my Game Jam game: retrogamingdev.itch.io/artifacts-es... (Unfortunately, only really works on desktop browser… but maybe I will get some mobile compatibility in sometime).

So, I have been working on a Game Jam project for the @piratesoftware.live - Game Jam 16! The theme is "You are the Weapon". My submission can be found here, though still a WIP: itch.io/jam/pirate/r... #gamedev #indiedev #retrogaming

If you had to choose one of these, which controller means the most to you?

I am kind of excited, I have decided to get back into #gamedev by participating in a game jam being hosted by @piratesoftware.live! I have put this stuff on the back burner, need a push to get back at it. itch.io/jam/pirate

I have to be honest, I didn’t think I’d actually stop using Twitter… not in a million years. But, it is now to the point that just about every 4th thing I scroll by is a political ad. I may check in periodically on it, but it feels like there is no going back to what it used to be anymore.

Looking through old Dec 1988 Nintendo Power and found this cool holiday ideas section. So many cool items here. Does anyone still have any of these things? (Share pics if you can!) #nintendo #holiday

This is bonkers!! I had never heard of this, and it looks amazing (for the Wii especially)

The Sega Activator (1993): Sega’s ambitious attempt at motion controls for the Genesis. Ahead of its time, but notoriously unresponsive.

Wow! I didn’t think I’d get close to 500 followers so quickly! Always hesitant to start new social accounts, they seem to come and go. But really glad I moved over to Bluesky! Lots of awesome people here and quality conversations! 😁👍

Hey all your #retrocomputer people - I recently aquired an Apple IIe and I am curious if there is a relatively easy way to hook up a flash drive of some sort to load files, games, etc... I do have the disc drives, but not much in the way of software. #apple #retrogaming #computer #retro

Tease was no joke… gave us all of about 5 seconds there #Sega. LOL

Gotta say, the nominees for best music weren’t all that great. Not terrible, but I feel like there was better stuff out there this year. #gameAwards

This Sega Genesis port of Final Fight is pretty impressive! #retrogaming youtube.com/watch?v=23OE...

Hey all, I created a #retrogaming starter pack of really cool people I have been following on various platforms! Highly recommend it! go.bsky.app/GG2tKbc (Still adding more people as I find them here on Bluesky, a lot are people I have been interacting with for years on Twitter)

Curious what you all think of BOTW/TOTK and how faithful they are to the established Zelda series. Personally, I feel like they nearly perfectly modernized the original sense of awe, adventure and discovery that I got from the original on the NES. #zelda #nintendo

This screen terrorized every kid playing Shadowgate on the Mac in the 1980s 😁

Pssst… hey you, got some “Top Secret” intel here… 😎🤫 #nintendo #retrogaming

Thanks, I hate it. (Seriously, the amount of money this company has and they decide to use AI generated video? It looks nasty…)

Kid Icarus is Hugues' next #GameClub pick! What are your thoughts on the NES platformer classic? #KidIcarus #NES #Retro #Videogames

People of Bluesky! Let's get to know each other better. What is your favorite movie? Quote share your answer only in GIF form.

Listening to @gamersweekpc.bsky.social and they asked is if “8BitDo” is pronounced “8Bit-Doo” or “8Bit-Dough”. Does anyone know? I have been wondering the same thing. 🤔❓🎮

#VideoGameHistory Did you know that the classic NES game Rad Racer was developed and published by Square. The same Square that later publishes the iconic Final Fantasy. It also can play with 3D glasses, though I never got to try that. #retrogaming #nes #nintendo

Look at this happy boy, the year I got my #NES for Christmas! (That is my cousin in background, who also got one). This was either ‘87 or ‘88, I honestly can’t remember. #retrogaming #nintendo

This is always a divisive game among Zelda fans. What do you think of Zelda II: The Adventures of Link? Personally, despite its flaws, I think it is a very good game. #nes #zelda #retrogaming
