SMS Experiment, Day 12. Another two more directions. (Top right corner) The angle and the low resolution is really making this hard. Four more to go. #sega #mastersystem #homebrew #graphicsgale

I just realised that scrolling can be used to do temporal reprojection of interlaced lines to reduce the artefacts. Only in 2d space but still 😮!

I made a video update for my upcoming Mega Drive action-RPG, The Viking & The Ninja.

Oh no this is terrible news! 😞

Chunky, but 60 fps 3d possible with colors and transparency on bare metal Megadrive #SGDK #BlastEm

Since there is a Shinobi action figure now (as well as a new game by @lizardcube.bsky.social & @sega-west.bsky.social) and many 80s kids had Godzilla toys I thought this would be a nice game room decorations from one of my favorite games of all time, #TheRevengeOfShinobi.

Does it come with an actual Pencil? 😆

The what what? 😄

@bowloflentils.bsky.social totally off topic but I had green lentil daal this evening lol

Another evening of scripting a ridiculous dialogue between ScAMP and ChAMP 😆 #SegaGenesis #SegsMegaDrive #IndieDev #GameDev

Homebrew Extra Retro Gamer 276 We have three different Mega Drive cartridges to test this month, highlighting just how much interest there still is in the popular 16-bit console. 8-bit fans can check out a forthcoming game where yo...

Pure curiosity: has anyone looked into the course data in Virtua Racing Deluxe on the 32X? Daytona USA was once floated for 32X and I wondered if Sega planned to build it on the VR engine. If so, could a Daytona-style ROM hack be possible? Totally theoretical, but a fun idea.

Ooo that looks yum!

Started working on the Dragon 32 port of Jurl, lots to do - the game is crammed in there, but I think i'm going to have to rewrite the drawing code in assembler for speed #IndieDev #RetroDev #RetroComputing

Lol a ChAMP fan eh!

It's a shame they never made a Raccoons tie-in game because the executable could have been WithUs.exe

I'll endeavour to make sure that continues to be the case 😎

Scamp is outraged as per usual... #segamegadrive #segagenesis #chords #indiedev #gamedev

That's generous for an IT project 😄

It's weird I'm beginning to feel like the prequel backstory to Chords is starting to play out in my own country in real time 😂 Giving AI companies discounts on energy prices while Joe Bloggs pays full price...

😂

I must make a mental note that the 7th of January is programmers day 😄

Ooo Kari that looks very fancy!

Off to London tomorrow (for AdventureX) - @mattaukamp.bsky.social and I will both be there this weekend, trying to find loose cranks.

I got told about this last weekend! I really wanted to showcase there!

Chords standees didn't make it to @computinghistory.org.uk but they came out beautifully from the factory. #indiedev #gamedev #segagenesis #segamegadrive

MatteusBeus's incredibly promising game Chords running on a Mega Drive.

The Big Red Arrow table, prominently featuring Andi's least subtle Amiga setup.

RetroTechRepair's peak Z80 display with a GX4000, MSX2+ and Sega Master System 2 in naked form. Mortal Kombat 2, Aleste and Burning Rubber the games.

Several ages of Bomb Jack from Rage Against the Retro, including an Arcade board and the new versions for Sega Master System and CPC.

Some pictures from the Big Red Arrow and adjacent presence at @computinghistory.org.uk . I'm not there tomorrow but all this cool stuff is.
