Silent Mobius is astonishingly beautiful! Everyone knows Akira but I never see anyone talking about this movie. The colors, the background design… all obviously inspired by the art of Syd Mead… and absolutely breathtaking.

It’s a pretty fun game and the rotation is quite unique for the system!

Memory leaks are the worst. That was one of the first problems I encountered back when I didn't even know a memory leak was a thing. Someone on the SGDK Discord helped me... had to release my maps when switching screens. I'm still learning and I'm sure I have some leaks causing problems.

Thanks! I’ll have to check what I did. I tried shutting off things and I turn off interrupts when loading levels… but maybe not for my intro screens.

I’m on my treadmill right now so I’ll check this afternoon.

So I wasn’t deactivating it properly obviously. Just not sure why that other stuff broke. As in no sounds would play and I would get black screens.

Well, I was able to implement it so my HUD could be moved down and used as a mid-scene dialog. So it worked.

BUT it would break all sound/music and some images once I would leave the level and go to my menus.

Congrats on getting it to work!

I was experimenting with your WINDOW plane interrupt file last weekend. I don’t understand how the interrupt stuff works at all LOL!

Your game is coming along nicely!

So mayyybe it's possible to render in 4 colors, it takes 20% more cpu but two palettes of 16 colors are then free for sprites and background #SGDK #SegaMegadrive

Is it #portfolioday ?

I’m a sculptor and engineer for toys. I sometimes design as well. I got laid off because of the tariffs :(

Here’s a few things I made. I’m looking for full time work if you have any leads!

Actually I’ve written 6, I think. But they are mostly pictures like all good books should be.

Another friend just wrote a book. A book about marathons. And I don’t care.

A different friend wrote a book a few years ago about résumé’s . I could relate to that one a bit more. I still don’t care.

I have at least 9 friends who have written books.

Great, now I feel like a slacker!

It's World Mental Health Day! 💜💆🏻♀️

Just like in our favorite #games, our own health bar needs attention. Grinding 24/7 can leave you with low HP. Don't forget to pause and restore your health.

The Bagman Trailer #1
YouTube video by BadTasty The Bagman Trailer #1

We now have a trailer!

The Bagman is a 16-bit #pixelart retro #horror game. A stealth point and click. Imagine if Day of the Tentacle met Alien Isolation, but with an 80s/90s slasher vibe and gratuitous gore.
