testing is going well

weeeeeeeeeeeeee

quick attempt at the earthion pseudo scaling explosion effect

stupidest goddamn technology on earth. Does not understand context, imagines data and functions that don't exist, messes with the autofill hotkey provided by the IDE (which DOES know which functions exist and can pull up the docs), not one good suggestion yet.

Managed to get Star Wars Arcade running in BlastEm today

I HAVE uploaded A ROM FILE for 32-BIT SUPER PERVERTS to my WEBZONE --> spacebruce.netlify.app/notes/we32x/ <--

she's fine don't worry about her

more 32X stuff, now using the fullscreen paletted mode

Virtua Racing 32x is hard as hell man, I'm taking the track as fast as I can and getting pretty consistent with risky cornering and can't even get close to 1st, I've seen leaderboards with 35 second laps wtf, am I cooked chat

multi platform engine is coming along well.

learning some texture stuff

ported my game engine to the 32X, needs LOTS of work before it can do anything useful and it crashes a lot (in an emulator idk about real hardware).

extending every art asset a little bit for (rarely used) high res 50hz european video modes

Posting this here as I have more star trek friends on this side of the veil, one of my friends was showing his cool art wall and uhhh what is this, that's 100% ai, what are you, why do you own this, why did displate (?) sell it.

Parin from Gurumin! The low-poly hair was always striking to me🧡 #fanart

BlastEm doesn't quite run 32X Doom yet, but it gets to the title screen/main menu now

faster, longer line of sight, slightly less buggy! It's now decoding the segment LOD data and using it to draw distant pieces in low detail. The pitching motion and camera coords are interpolated, not free driving. Ignore inverted banks, weird layout issue, the data format is complicated.

Some more Lurruna screenshots. Working on the final boss. Give or take 3-4 weeks and it'll be ready to ship off to my playtester. And by 'playtester' I mean little brother.

Finally worked out the height format for the stunt racer tracks and started writing a proper 3D engine for it. all sorts of rendering and logic issues, but it's chugging along, once it's *perfect*, I'll dig into optimising, the Megadrive isn't this slow!

Fun challenge, I would definitely benefit from taking a figure drawing class.

** Sega MD 3D Engine Update 4 ** Arwing from StarFox been modelled. This is using a linear framebuffer (FB) with CPU blitting. Just converted it to non linear buffer with DMA and both versions are running about 20 % faster than shown due to optimisations. Next step, larger FB and some objects !

The mighty Alammo of AlammoFM on YT has just dropped OMEGADRIVE on @itch.io - an interactive #MegaDrive VGM player! Extremely impressive despite only being in beta - definitely one to keep an eye (and ear) on. Now go and explore some MD #chiptunes! delacannon.itch.io/omegadrive

The ships navigator in my upcoming sci-fi epic is a plucky 20 something mars girl named Mirabelle Lucifer, shortened to Lucy by her friends. She has little bearing on the plot.

Quick megadrive graphics test, drawing weird shapes using a distorted tilemap. (Yes, like Yoshi's island). details in followup post.

wen were you when bluesky was kill

Made a scroller demo for the Sega MasterSystem / MK3, using devkitsms. Has a fixed HUD bar using an interrupt. Supports maps of any width, with a maximum of 192px/24 tiles high, so you've got a bit of wiggle. I'll opensource it ... soon.

doodled the moon dweller (tsukimomo)

Time for some more deep dives into The Sentinel, Geoff Crammond's epic #BBCMicro game! Batch #6 is now ready: 3 new articles about screen buffers, panning, scrolling and dithering thesentinel.bbcelite.com/deep_dives Batch #7 (drawing the landscape) coming soon Enjoy! #retrocomputing #c64 #8bit

Razing Core is a shoot 'em up in development for SEGA Master System/Mark III. I plan to release it this year on itch digitally with a physical version to follow. #homebrew

accidentally made something really pretty because of a screwup :D

DF and Nvidia are enemies of humanity.

Sprite order is what determines who's in front of what, regardless of priority. All one needs to do is ensure the high priority sprite is bellow the low priority sprite while in front of a high priority tile layer. Footage from "I made you a Salad" (SHC 2019)

Haven't quite nailed the raster timing so it's a bit jumpy and the border is a mess, but this is getting there. I've got a proper 3D track renderer in the planning stages, I'll work on that next.

This is a cute illustration bidding farewell to the Mega Drive, featuring many of Sega's most iconic characters on the console and its many add-ons. Taken from the September 1995 issue of Sega Saturn Magazine.

this rules, been waiting for this. I'm going to attempt to port my game engine to megadev, I'd like to make CD/Cartridge builds with slightly different features, offload effects processing to the CD Unit... awesome. that's not scope creep.

It's a been a long time coming... MEGADEV, a development kit for the Sega Mega CD, version 1.0 is released! ──────────────────── 🔗https://github.com/drojaazu/megadev ────────────────────

morning roughpaint Last night, I got excited about the topic of Ridge Racer 4 (R4) with my friends, and for the first time in about 25 years, I drew to clear the haze that I couldn't draw as I wanted. #namco #R4

doing something, getting some M68K assembly practice in.

Since this got reasonably popular, I'll post a ROM file later.

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.

Got my textbox engine and cutscene handler all singing along together

The burger thing is a placeholder... probably
