please look forward to The Complete History of Tetris Game Design releasing as soon as I finish editing all of it

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of The New Tetris (1999) This was the first game to feature the sonic drop (drop without locking), the ability to hold on to a piece, and the bag randomizer instead of purely random incoming shapes

If you're interested in some cool shader work definitely reach out to Dan!

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of Tetris The Grand Master (1998) This is the first tetris game that is fully 3D, has automatic wallkicks, a drop preview, and the ability to let you rotate the piece before it spawns in.

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of Tetris Plus (1996) This is the first single player tetris game to feature more than one incoming shape, although it's kind of hard to see them.

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of Tetris X (1996). This is the first Tetris game on playstation after 7 years of nintendo exclusivity and the first game to feature simple rotation wallkicks (with the sole exception of Atari Tetris released 8 years prior).

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of Tetris 2 (1991). 30 years ahead of the curve on modern game design this entry made the game worse by improving the graphics

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of NES Tetris (1988). This game is mechanically equivalent to Game Boy Tetris.

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of Atari Tetris (1988) This was the first game to feature an open ceiling to prevent rotation collisions with the top of the board. I'd also like to say fuck you to Atari for making such a graphically impressive game compared to its contemporaries

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of Game Boy Tetris (1989) fun fact this is the first game to feature clockwise rotation

sega tetris looks cool with the gameboy visuals

finished a (mostly) faithful replica of sega tetris (1988). loud metal pipe sounds included

finished my faithful replica of the original ibm pc tetris, unsurprisingly it sucks and is not fun to play but it looks cool. surely the gameboy tetris is better

New video is up on the channel now! Why Did PS1 Games Look Like That?

Excited to announce I'll be giving a talk at GodotCon in Boston next month! I'll be talking a bit about compositor effects, please look forward to it

I sort of naively assumed the ps1 just used bayer dithering but they actually use their own dither spread, and colors are 15 bit not 16 bit so this dither and quantization is properly ps1 accurate now would post a bayer dither comparison but i'm lazy
