Flap through peril in my new precision "batformer" that flips platformer trappings upside-down! Vampire's Best Friend releases this October Demo out now on Steam & itch, link in replies

My freelance gig ran into funding issues, so I need new work soon. Anyone need a programmer? Games, apps, ports, reverse eng/disasm, web. Multiple shipped games (programmer on TMNT:SR, Panzer Paladin, Flinthook. Enhancement+reverse eng. for Sugoro Quest). Montreal-based, remote/contract preferred.

magic sword on its surface seems like an epic quest to destroy the blackorb, but it's really about a very hungry guy with an overactive stomach who must constantly fuel up on chicken and grapes every few minutes to ward off dying.

I've got Harb.

What an unforgettable #SummerGameFest ☀️ 🌀🎸 Scott Pilgrim EX officially revealed! 💚🦝 Rocket & She-Hulk join the fight 🎮🌌 Hands-on MARVEL Cosmic Invasion demo at Play Days with @dotemu.bsky.social Huge thanks for all the love around both reveals 🤩 #ScottPilgrimEX #MARVELCosmicInvasion

rendering experiment synopsis: for the past few days i've been prototyping a zero polygon renderer. it's a raycaster, in the vein of Wolfenstein, but it has displacement mapped walls. i'm currently tinkering with a related technique for rendering "sprites' with multiple displacement mapped flats.

we are making a video game

easy isometric pixel art is still coming... with a ton of new features! create anything with easymetric soon on @aseprite.org

Here's a Super Game Boy enhancement driver I need to finish some day. It uses a circular buffer in VRAM to communicate with the SNES at 60fps via a combination of command data and per-frame data, rather than joypad packets. This particular version allowed a Game Boy game to reuse Game Boy Color art.

another pixel scribble. this one uses 4 colors

grassy swamp adventure. 12 colors. it was made to look like a "pixel painting" of sorts. I didn't end up cleaning this piece up fully before I moved on with it, but this was still a fun exercise!

I prototyped a shmup in Picotron at one point. I was still trying to come up with enemies. To test, I randomized wave arrangements until I did stage design. It was fun to put together some of the HUD and animation effects in this. I had plans for a 3x3 "powerup grid" with mix-and-match equipment.

Mocked up a little single-screen "bub-like". with Game Boy Color and original Game Boy versions! Much like Bubble Bobble, I wanted to design it so that the tile pattern for the walls can be easily swapped while sharing common "fake 3D" edges. Meanwhile backdrops could be more detailed.

On Saturday, went to an outdoor comics/art festival. Ate a yummy arepa with cheese, plantains and avocado. Sunday I watched a bunch of the anime version of Monster. (Got more interested in checking out other Urasawa stuff after I watched Pluto, which was quite good.) Decent weekend.

here's a top-down 3D thing I was making earlier this year. I made a game-engine on top of Zig and SDL. Among other stuff, it supported batched triangle meshes, billboard sprites, rich-formatted pixel fonts, render targets+shaders, keyboard/gamepad input+custom binding, cross-platform desktop builds.

Hello! Haven't really looked at BlueSky since I initially set things up a while back. I don't use social media the same way I used to since Twitter etc, but I'm semi-active on Mastodon. I see now a lot of people ended up moving here. I may try occasionally sharing my art/projects/game progress here!
