Would you rather flip gravity, swap dimensions… or blow up a cave? 👀 Good news—you don’t have to choose! Mega Cat Studios’ triple launch hits #SEGAGenesis and #MegaDrive on March 31, 2026 featuring: 🌀 #Gravibots: bit.ly/MCSGSM 👥 #AlterEgoDreamWalker: bit.ly/MCSAEDWSM 💎 #Tourmaline: bit.ly/MCSTSM

We can finally show our secret feature! We've been working on a tracker that will be shipped with MD Engine! ヾ(´〇`)ﾉ♪♪♪ It won't be as powerful as Deflemask or Furnace, but it should be capable of doing music composition for most cases! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

Play Sonic Eraser.

I just finished updating the latest version of Chords with Vic's Sega CD Fusion Driver. It's now doing both streaming PCM speech and background music and it seems pretty good if you ask me. More devs should really use this! #gamedev #indiedev #sega #segagenesis #megadrive

We finally had time to advance on the design and printing tests for our first release! The bundle of Square Brothers and Inkventure! We just need to finish the stickers and such freebies! (◕‿◕✿) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

Barrel01.jpg 'Streets Of Rage' SEGA Mega Drive

I ported the entire Hoenn region into a Megadrive rom to test out my new map streamer. Couple rendering bugs and the palette isn't great, but it's all in here.

Mega Parodius Stage 8 Boss Update !! Tackling the technically challenging bits head on with the full screen scaling boss in Parodius - Puyon . More information in the youtube notes there for those interested. Lots of tricks to get enough performance etc. Genesis does !! youtu.be/pqNbWbk8iPA

as announced by online Sega history zine Beep21: Hideki Sato, the "father of Sega hardware" who stewarded the design of Sega's home consoles from the SG-1000 through to the Dreamcast & presided over the company from 2001~3, passed away on Feb.13 aged 77 🇯🇵 R.I.P.

A late revision of 'Sonic 2' in the US would come out in a cardboard box, rather than a clamshell case.

We finally finished integrating the collision gridding system into MD Engine! It was designed by the awesome @shannonbirt.bsky.social! It helps boost performance tremendously for our current shooter examples! It is also highly configurable! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

a lil update on STINKHEAD AND THE SEVEN DEADLY SINS for the Sega Genesis #gamedev #indie #indiegamedev #platformer

Making retro games can be a real challenge because of all the technical limitations. Check out my newest (free) Patreon post to see how I deal with the color limitations of the #SegaGenesis aka #MegaDrive www.patreon.com/posts/sega-g... #Retrogames #indiedev #solodev #SGDK

Wait, that's music from Space Harrier II

We've been working on the Linux native export! We're almost done integrating everything into MD Engine to allow exporting native Linux versions of the games! (　･ω･)☞ Tested on Kubuntu & Mint so far! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

Motorcycle Explosion 'El Viento' SEGA Mega Drive

An Australian commercial for the SEGA Master System.

What's the deal with the four unknown tracks in Mega Anser, anyway? I was hoping that printing would play one of them, but nope, it just spools a print job in the background.

OK, why is there a 20 minutes long video of the Mega Anser demo loop? www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UtU...

But where do the burgers go? Right here. Inventory data not properly plumbed in yet, but this is kinda close to what I had in mind for functionality. Top row will be consumables, second will be plot/key items

Rapmaster 'ToeJam & Earl' SEGA Mega Drive

Sega should have released Doki Doki Penguin Land MD on cartridge.

background testing

there's also a lot of edge case hunting, like making sure the kill-screen isn't broken by raster interrupts. Realised earlier that the curtain drop is affected by the water palette switch, so I had to go make it sneakily push the waterline offscreen as it scrolls.

Comparison of Axel's selection, across the SEGA Mega Drive, Master System and Game Gear versions of 'Streets Of Rage'.

This feature was late for the Razing Core demo but I've now added more background destruction for scoring, and it's just fun to destroy things! #mastersystem #homebrew

モータルコンバット3は海外だけの発売だがBGMもなく用意されている難易度もむかしく滅茶苦茶ゲームバランス崩壊しているのだが何とか攻略したい

Some of Atsushi Seimiya's works as a graphic designer during the Mega Drive era: 1) Blaze from Streets of Rage 1 2) the main character on the title screen of Cyber Police ESWAT 3) a background for the ending of Strider 4) the background of the level 5-1 of Revenge of Shinobi (with his signature)

Mega Parodius (Megadrive) Scaling !! Went crazy, decided to do the hardest bit (possibly) in the port next , Stage 8 Boss !! Horizontal scaling only at present , vertical is next . Horizontal is much harder to achieve at speed. 1,2,3,4x scale over 74 updates. He's 21kb of tiles ie massive !!

I made these tortle guys more fun to play around with/bully, they're designed to be docile and only lunge if you annoy them. (Spindash sprite stolen from Sonic Advance - placeholder) #gamedev #sgdk

More pics: www.fromjapan.co.jp/japan/fr/auc... I suppose several CD-ROMs were produced for this machine.

This is the first time I have seen this cartridge, designed for the Linguaphone Education Gear, the Japanese version of the Multi-Mega/CD-X. xcancel.com/mega_dra/sta... auctions.yahoo.co.jp/category/lis...

that's more like it!

*** Mega Parodius Update ( Sega Megadrive ) *** For 60 FPS video I've posted the update on YT below link below. But just quickly - more in the description in the vid , updates on the Blue Bell explosion , Enemy destruction / collisions & VRAM handling !! www.youtube.com/watch?v=pq_I...

It's also reasonably smart, if a BGA/BGB are sharing a palette, or an enemy/prop uses one of those or the player line, or you need a particular layout for s/h mode, it shuffles stuff around and can give 2 entity lines instead of just 1. screw you sega for only building this with 4 palette lines!

The benefit is I can throw a map together with any old props & enemies already built without having to tailor anything specifically for it. Just added mr snuggles (temp name) to my cave map without any prep work, just spawned and worked. Will open source this part as it's useful™

Rewrote my palette handler, so now the game has 1 or 2 free lines going, it doles them out to active entities that request it. See green monster in pic 1; neutral position far from any props in 2; playing with a see-saw in 3; #gamedev #sgdk

Level-up flourish

The #homebrew project, "G-Zero" by "gasega68k" recently received an update The original demo already served as an impressive tech showcase, replicating the #SNES' iconic Mode-7 3D effect, but on the #Sega #Genesis Get it here: gasega68k.itch.io/g-zero #retro #retrgaming #gaming #gamedev #indiedev

It was a long road of learning and experimenting, but I have finally completed the first real boss for my #SegaGenesis and #MegaDrive game, #Gilgamech There have been a lot of enhancements since my last video. Check it out! youtu.be/Bzd8JaX5B94 #IndieGame #SoloDev #SGDK

SMSRally, Day 17. Worked on improving the world to pixel to screen space transformations. The car follows the ground better now. Sprite still glitchy at certain angles. #sega #mastersystem #homebrew #devkitsms #gslib
