We just got a cool little preview from @freakdave.bsky.social of the rather impressive FDV Engine for the #dreamcast, showing reflection & refraction effects Boosted with sh4zam‪ improvements by @falcogirgis.bsky.social Video Link: youtube.com/watch?v=XSCVXxCTbCw #homebrew #Retrogaming #gamedev

MASSIVE UPDATE ON OUR #SONIC MANIA PORT! Here's a series of hardware captures taken directly from my #Sega #Dreamcast! Thanks to jnmartin and the crew, the 3D stages are all now running fullspeed!!! #gamedev #indiegame #retrogaming

Direct hardware capture taken of me testing out matrix and linear algebra optimizations I've introduced into our Legend of #Zelda Ocarina of Time port... RUNNING ON THE SEGA #DREAMCAST!!! #gamedev #retrogaming #n64 #oot

I'll never understand why people (including many engineers) can't see programming as the creative art that it is. LLMs generate code the same way they generate images or videos. Bland, mediocre, inelegant remixes of the training data.

Two builds of #MarioKart 64 running on the #Sega #Dreamcast. Top is release using our stock GLdc driver for graphics. The bottom is an experimental build I have optimized with my accelerated math library, SH4ZAM. Community gainz are coming! github.com/gyrovorbis/s... #gamedev #retrocomputing

Having built many many kinds of software products, I can't tell you that the hardest final 20% goes to games over all else. That first 80% is way more fun, but that final 20 is soul destroying. It's essentially just looking at bugs going "ah, shit." #gamedev

I've decided to add a new desert theme to my WIP #dreamdisc25 project for the #dreamcast The actual levels (10) are more or less complete and I can finally focus on polishing and audio. #gamedev #homebrew

This is what the Dreamcast VMU SDK looked like in 1999 (April 22), with a tool to simulate/emulate it on your development environment

Today's update on the #SonicMania port to the #Sega #Dreamcast... while our leader is fighting the uphill battle to implement the per-pixel/per-scanline visual effects, I've been... errrr... laying the foundation for the goodies we plan for our Visual Memory Unit. 🤣 #gamedev #retrogaming #sonic

There's still so much to do for #dreamdisc25, but at least the game loop is almost complete. The visuals also got some love. And yes, you are a Tomato. Here are some screenshots (debug cam and gameplay), captured from my #dreamcast

One of the biggest challenges since the Gamescom demo for MD was figuring out animation skinning. Thanks to @kazade.bsky.social 's work on implementing the base framework for gltf anim channel import and @falcogirgis.bsky.social 's sh4zam work, Jeenie can smoothly move!

#SonicMania Plus for the #Sega #Dreamcast finally has audio! Here's a 2 minute direct hardware capture of me playing the latest build of @sonicfreak94.bsky.social's port on my actual DC to hype up the Blue Blur's epic comeback to a Sega console... where he has always belonged! #retrogaming #gamedev

Can you imagine if this and GTA3 were released on DC back in the day? SEGA might still be in the home console market!
