it goes further: Yu Suzuki had a oh-shit-the-boss-is-here button installed on his devkits that'd corrupt the screen and make the game look visibly "unfinished", in order to keep his boss from trying to force the game out the door ASAP shmuplations.com/afterburner/

This is the only dizzy game I ever finished. The instadeath was hard but the coin search was brutal 😰

Number 58 on the list of things that are bad about microtransactions in games: when you play the re-release with all of the content included, you're instantly handed a pile of game breaking equipment, joke costumes, and more in-game currency than you'll need.

that's great. I notice the nesbag page states that steamworks integration isn't possible due to licensing, I wonder if there's any possible workaround for that?

My only complaint with the series is that Nimitz doesn't get more page-time 😿

Working on my long-term #NES game, trying to cram a little too much into 40KB. I could go bigger but I really want to make at least one 'nrom' game that doesn't need extra mapper hardware on the cart.

Included obligatory glitched out failed map loading, #famicom errors always fun

There'd be no windows installs in this house if my son wasn't an avid roblox and fortnite player. Both of them 'need' windows for their invasive anti-cheat 💀

GAMURS Group Announces Sale of The Escapist

oof, guess it's due to this gamurs.group/blog/gamurs-...

even with the strong prefix of 'Weird' I still read that as 'ai' and for a few horrible moments feared you were willingly attending a chatgpt concert or something

fwiw I use my wacom (old style, no screen) on linux and it works fine. I had to configure it to map to one screen instead of the tablet representing multiple monitors, but that was the only change I had to make

Functional as normal joysticks now, right stick grip body doesn't quite close neatly, leaving an annoying gap. #flightsim #hotas

this is great! does it have a HORN button

Stacks of Famicom carts in shelves

Organised some of my #famicom collection with my boy. He wanted rainbow sorting which led to much debate as to where brown and pink sit on the rainbow. Going to make nice top labels for all the carts without in the near future #nes #fc

ohh, the little extra border between the walkable cells and the walls is very clever. I've been doing a 3dp Space Crusade and didn't leave quite enough space :<

This was a labour of love that's taken over 5 years of my spare time, and a game I've wanted to make since I played Wing Commander back in the early nineties. Really hope you like it.

Shirow Masamune's designs have definitely inspired a lot of people, so it wouldn't surprise me to see similar machines in other media

Chibi Tachikoma model on my desk

Angry tachikoma in my hand

Had a strong urge for a chibi #tachikoma from #gits so I printed one, assembled and painted it instead of doing any work at all today. My brushwork sucks and my printer settings definitely need some refinement but I am more pleased than this guy is

Ohh the static linking! Ouch. Still you might try contacting Luke to find out what a commercial license involves, I can't imagine he wants your firstborn and 50% of your house.

what's the issue with simulant being lgpl? do you need to make engine changes without upstreaming your changes for some legal reason?

Two partially constructed, skeletal joysticks

So far the joysticks look like this. I'm 3D printing the parts and building the electronics. They're angled inwards more like bike handlebars or throttles. Is this a good idea? Guess I'll find out soon!

I've been building some custom #joysticks. Today I recorded myself doing surface mount soldering for the axis sensors. I'm not a professional 😹

The plan is to make two good quality controllers for playing spacesim games

Time to start on bsky. I write retrogames, do too many gamejams, draw and sometimes make hardware.
