Doing some live streaming of Super Sunny World development for about an hour, starting now!

A big change I'm working on is allowing BOSSES to be shot with the PEARL POWER. I think it's the right thing to do, since it make the power-up feel more meaningful.

But each of the 8 unique bosses need to be re-coded a bit to support this. Should be worth it I hope!

Super fun game! It's got a great "pick up and play" style that is fun even for 5-10 minute bursts of play. Highly recommend.

🎉Wow! Just hit 10k followers on Twitter!

I'm so thankful to be part of this enthusiastic and engaged community around the NES and Homebrew!

Wow! Thank yoy

Here it is! Castlevania II: Enhanced Edition on the SNES!

Huge shoutouts to Bizqwit for original NES hack, it make this game so much more polished and approachable.

I'll drop some details in replies here; the hack is available here:

3D artists, show your wireframes!

Impressive. Would it be possible to add the cars? Is the source code for this beautiful project open source?

So it is possible to do 60fps 3d on the sega megadrive by using a very exotic indexing method to simulate 2 colors + alternating lines + fast DMA. Totally interlaced my brain 🙃

We've finished the sword weapon for Solid-State Soldier!!

Next, destructible terrain!!!

This one has been a labor of love. It's close!

A screenshot from the Mesen event viewer of the NES game Castlevania II in the starting town, with lots of blue pixels on it.

@displacedgamers.bsky.social - you might appreciate this. This is the unmodified NES Castlevania II game, bankswitching 108 times in one frame. Maybe if you get a free weekend you can tell me why in the world it does this.

A full end to end play-through of my Castlevania II SNES port! Final testing is happening now, and barring any major issues I should be releasing it soon!

I reworked the camera, improved clipping and rewrote the physics with acceleration and drift, the feel is better now

Jumping! I want the driving to feel smooth and arcadey like a Sega Rally. I was never a big fan of Wipeout's physics, but I love the graphics obviously :)

That's really cool. I haven't tested this approach on the Mega Drive yet, but I'm getting inspired to try it.

Absolutely incredible. Making excellent use of the console's capabilities.

YouTube video by Mecha Zone Sega Genesis Game: Gilgamech - MINI BOSS

My first (mini) boss!
It's simple but actually quite fun to battle. I learned a lot from programming all the different aspects. I posted a 3-part dev diary about it on my Patreon if you are curious.

Big up a la team 5customs_games qui me permet de ressortir régulièrement la Megadrive et prendre mon pied 🤩.

A ce moment, même si c'est censé être moi Ken le survivant, je ne le savais pas encore, mais j'étais déjà mort 🤣

Ok, maybe someone knows more about this than me. But why does Castlevania II on the FDS have so much English text? The prologue and the ending are both entirely in English. Is that not odd? Did Japanese children know enough English to read this?

The rest of the game is all in Japanese.

Additionally, another cool romhack feature that I just finished is the map that's accessible when you pres Select, this map was available in the FDS manual, and maybe could help make sense of the crazy world Simon is in:
