This project really has been a showcase of exactly where I want to be with my #pixelart. I'm way more proud than I should be of these chonky little ticks and gingko leaves.

Decided to see what it would take to get a pc port running, and after maybe 45 minutes of work and commenting out a bunch of Dreamcast specific code, it boots!

Nothing too crazy to be reimplemented, so hopefully there should be no issues getting it on Steam for when I wanted to.
I love raylib 💞

Driar DEMAKE by bitmagine Studio FREE

bitmagine.itch.io/driar-zx-spe...

We loved this remake of 2012 NES title Driar.
Jamie : "Driar is fantastic! The graphics are vibrant, the music catchy, the gameplay tight, and the level design superb. If you love flip-screen puzzle platformers, stop reading and play it now."
So, uh, off you go.

It's a photograph showing Tactus running on a real NES! A SNES controller is plugged into P1, and a PowerPad is plugged into P2. Either one can be used to fully control the game.

Today in especially cursed input methods, I am pleased to present working Power Pad support for my #nes game Tactus. Like other entries in the rhythm-based roguelike genre, it is **remarkably** difficult to play like this. Ermh... enjoy? #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

OCULA testing has started.

OCULA is a complete ULA replacement that provides its own on-board RAM, which is practical considering RAM failure is probably the most common failure condition on that machine.

This is a typical day at the office when you are a graphics programmer. 'Spammy polys' that need debugging to see what the heck has gone wrong with the shaders! Usually easy to track down if you have a decent GFX debugger / capture system.

I've never looked into how red zone does what it does, but there are basically 3 or 4 main "tricks" you can do with MD video.

1. Altering scroll registers during horizontal blank, which can give stretching and shearing effects depending on which scroll register you change mid-frame, H or V

C64 Games memories - Green Beret

I take a short trip down memory lane for #Commodore64 "Green Beret", published in 1986 by Imagine. The old memories of the Ocean/Imagine loader, and the sprite limit handling when the special weapon is used.

Snipped of a screen with some C code at the back. At the front the fuse emulator shows half a dungeon screen with the last action being "Picked up Beige Brick"

Finally into the "little things" on the roguelike now, like making sure the pick up item sound only happens when there's an item to pick up.

(Cue me finding a massive bug)

That's an interesting behaviour and effect.
It matches the "early 90s" animation style.
