I already know about usb bar code scanners. I might use one for a game idea one time but not this time yet.

The easier it is, the better, as i said, i can't do soldering.

Alright, the first video is still gonna take a while so... sorry for the wait. 😔

Meanwhile, anybody know a usb device i could use on pc to use as a controller with little trouble (i have no soldering skillz/space)? I would be interested to make a game with a unique controller as a limitation. 😊

I see... Daizo playing the vanilla game, so he can then play my hack... 🤭

Just kidding, but did you know there is a Wario Land 4 editor Daizo? And from personal expierence i must say that one is pretty good too. 👍

I realized that I haven’t posted any creations here in quite a bit.

The first video is in the pipeline.🙂

But since I wanna be serious with my goals this year, do you guys want me to make smaller, bite-sized Lunar Magic Tutorials and if the answer is "YES" then "WHAT" do you want to see getting covered in it?☺️

Remember, can't do everything so keep the scope small.🙂

It's not my usual work and there are parts that are definitely rougher on the edges, but it definitely felt good to make something and see someone play it after so long.

It made me realize also I am terrible at writting puzzle clues.

I am looking forward to touch things up and release it out here.

I also actually plan to release this hack later this year, although with its IRL references and escape room puzzles removed and with added credits.

I plan for it to be hosted on the Team Dicks website if my friends give me the okay, otherwise I shall host it in my SMW Central file bin.

Forgot to mention:

Last year for Christmas I made a personal SMW romhack for my brother, which included a IRL escape room esque search hunt in our house. Thats right, I actually finished something in a long time again.

I used this project to play around with some stuff while ignoring the gfx side.

This should be a reasonable list of things all things considered. I already have a video in the works (the big cut of the Nintendesi multiworld) and also have other video ideas.

I lowered my expectations with games/hacks.

Can I this time fufil more than 50% this year? Or maybe all? Let's see! 👍

Here we go, new year, new resolutions! In 2026, my plans are:

* at least ONE Team Dicks HOSTED hack (collab, solo, etc.)
* at least ONE hack/mod of a non SMW hack
* at least TWO new YT videos
* at least THREE livestreams this year
* at least ONE good enough prototype of an actual new game by myself

I am going to post the 2026 years resolutions in their own post, but I definitely only managed 1 new video on youtube and the the 3 livestreams.

I will see that I will keep the amount low this year so that I can at least give what I promise or seek out to do.

I hope I can do better this year. 🙇‍♂️

Well the year 2025 came to an end... and with that, i failed most of my new year's resolutions. I am sorry for being such a let down already into the year 2026.

Most of these were unexpectly blocked by either IRL issues, work or motivation not being there.

This year, i wanna try again, but less. 🙇‍♂️

Twitch Twitch is the world

Alright, let's finish this: www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft

Going to be live soon!

It's time we serve the bacon for our festive async multiworld and finish it for good. Ganon, we come for your pork! 🫵😠

Guess who is going back to alttp and got their fire rod sent? 🙃

shorter extra stream: www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft

And that is it, 3 streams this year i have completed!
However, i plan still more until we beaten that multiworld so I hope to see ya all next time 🙂👍.

I also got a lot of progress in ALTTP and SMW is beaten. Soon, Ganon goes down. I am sure of it. ✊

Twitch Twitch is the world

We shall continue our Async Multiworld today right now!

We got capes from our friends, so let's see if we can beat SMW today and how much progress we can make in ALTTP. 👍

Where? Well, on this Twitch channel of course:
www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft

www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft

We continue the multiworld with some SMW to start things off and then maybe switching to ALTTP later... now that I spent the time to recollect the missing items, we can again play and progress 🥳:

Well, there goes an hour but we are back in business, just didn't get everything back (only the essentials) and have now a bit more keys and money than before but whatever... also i need to do reopen and redo certain doors and events but that is the least of my concerns now 🙂👍:

"Well this was a fun stream... did get a nice amount of progress done and can't wait to continue next time and do more things. Lets make sure my save file is there and..."

FUCK 😔

Currently debating if i drop the alttp seed and just finish the smw seed. sorry once again... sigh...

Hiro_sofT - Twitch I’m a person with a passion for gaming and anything creative. It didn’t take long for me to be fascinated by games and their functionality. It’s my dream, to create my own videogame, which always had ...

Lol, Time to start with the promised streams for 2025... only took me 11 months 🙃.

www.twitch.tv/hiro_soft

We will be going to the classics and play an ALTTP and SMW randomizer seed in @nintendesi.bsky.social 's first async multiworld (with 39 seeds in total play). We about to start right NOW! 😱

Ah yes... forshadowing the sequel of "you are a blue switch" 😏

Completely forgot I still had an account on Twitter for one of my game dev projects. I decided to clean that whole thing and then shut it down by deactivating that account over there for good.

I hate having to apologize once more... i am getting a bit sick of this but... sorry for no Halloween Stream this year AGAIN.

Had plans, but...😑

Family had different plans and now i have a battery cushion to deal with... not wanting to fly into the stratosphere I have to deal with that stuff asap.

I know the feeling...

I have been sitting often in front of my computer but burnout is just so hard, together with the work and other IRL stuff, i only see my list getting longer and longer.

I just hope that my spark comes back eventually but it has been quite difficult for me to move myself.

👻

Yearly reminder for Wario Land 4 (or Wario in general) fans and people looking for a Halloween themed small hack to play, I made this neat 1 level Wario Land 4 hack.

Hack:

Trailer:

Retroachievements:
retroachievements.org/game/25058

How much do I finish in around 3 months with work and all that?

Who knows...

We gonna have to see what I can do and hopefully the ride isn't as bumpty.

Now I have to work on a game demo... so that I can meet its deadline (November 2nd), so see you on flipside.

To sum up:

Things that I should be able to finish:
- 1 more video coming
- 3 livestreams (one will be a insane ALTTP bee seed)

Things that I can't promise 100%:
- 1 fleshed out 1 level demo of a game that isn't a mod
- 1 non smw mod

Things that I don't see happen this year:
- 2 team dicks collabs

- 1 Mod that isn't SMW

This one is hard...

Originally I wanted to make a smb2 hack during the contest back then, but i noticed i just couldn't get things done and then the burnout kicked in instantly, as i tried to make stuff happen and wasted hours to get the editor working.

Can't promise this.

- 3 Livestreams

Shouldn't be too hard. I have plenty of stuff I can play on stream or show. I just need to make sure I can do that stuff and its not going to be a lackluster expierence.

One of the things I planned is a ALTTP Rando (for old times sake), but with bee's spawns cranked up to the max.

- 2 new videos on YT

Technically I have done this with the Twitch VODs but those aren't new... this one I can see myself doing fairly easy.

I just don't know what the 2nd video is going to be yet but I hope it will be better than just a Soundtrack video of a hack of mine.

Ideas are welcome.
