Post from Retro Gamer Boy - YouTube The Heavy Recoil demo PCB for the Mega Drive and Genesis just turned up. It looks pretty sweet. I love that the eye lights up when you power it on.

Wow, this is really slick!

Would you rather flip gravity, swap dimensions… or blow up a cave? 👀

Good news—you don’t have to choose!

Part two of my "making of" series shows the animations in Blender with sprite prep. You also get to see the Manticore in the game as a rough prototype.

PAX East

Anyone going to Pax East on 3/26?

I’ve never been and want to see how other indie devs are networking and marketing their games.

It’s my dream to do a physical release of my Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game when it’s done and I’ll need help for that.

It’s completely mind-boggling that I wrote and drew this 20 years ago. Feeling old with that realization 👴🏻

It was fun going to Pete’s office and talking through plot points and story details. I miss those days.

Really love season one!!! Cannot recommend season 2 😢 it feels like a totally different show made by a completely different crew with a much lower budget.

If you haven’t reposted this yet, please get your butt into gear and help us spread it far and wide. I need this game to break out beyond my little follow circle. Also still waiting for the day it gets big enough that @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp drops a comment 😉

A check would be great but I would love to have my job back since I was laid off due to tariffs. The last year has been devastating for me.

I ported the entire Hoenn region into a Megadrive rom to test out my new map streamer.

Couple rendering bugs and the palette isn't great, but it's all in here.

Is this an overhaul of your previous tile streamer or something different?

FYI I really put that one to test with a new level recently. I found it necessary to set the tile count to 500 for best effect.
