Hey #PortfolioDay I do chunky Pixel art & Animation
Do you have a game that needs a bunch of enemies?
I am ready to unleash my power !!

Never seen a vulture in the wild do that before! #nesdev #rx3

Room transitions working in Janus. Kept it simple and dropped about 80% of the IRQ nonsense I was attempting before...#nesdev #gamedev

Great news for our American customers! 🎉
Orders to the USA are finally back! 🇺🇸

We’re now working with @dalyengames.bsky.social, a true homebrew enthusiast, who will act as our distributor in the US. Shipping fees stay the same, no extra charges, and no new customs taxes for you.

"Joust" races have been a tricky mechanic in Rally Rally Rally. Still trying to find the right mix to make it interesting for 1-player... #nesdev #gamedev

Trap deployments working. Guess I have to implement an enemy real quick so they can do something! #nesdev #gamedev

OK, just implemented simple input buffering for movement and actions and glad I did. Rolling into a buffered shot is so cool! #nesdev #gamedev

It's my understanding that Maniac Mansion does something similar with coroutines and costumes. This makes certain things easier with timing since the animation and gameplay logic are decoupled.

The change_costume macro is effectively inter-thread comm. to tell the costume to change to a different animation. In my NES game engine "veil engine" each actor gets 2 coroutines one for logic and the other a costume thread.

The code shown previously was from the actor's coroutine. This has all the logic for physics and gameplay. There is another coroutine that is the costume thread.

Yeah, with this I am using a jump table. So on the left is a CA65 enum with all the states (including transition states). The middle shows the jump code and part of the table, and then the last are all the subroutines that execute for each state.

Listen to 10 times a day for 2 weeks and let me know if your symptoms persist after that...

6502 assembly

Basic state machine with movement and projectiles now working. Up next, rolls & traps! #nesdev #gamedev

Workshopping movement today. For now going with simple 4-directional with velocity a little under 1 px a frame. #nesdev #gamedev

But how much boost is too much boost? #nesdev #gamedev

Inspecting drivetrain power levels. Something is up with my primitive rubber-banding and why isn't the power dipping on collisions?! #nesdev #gamedev

RAWR! #nesdev #gamedev

It does look like that. I use CA65 scopes to encapsulate data and subroutines like a class would.

CA65

So maybe you have a point about the boost having too much juice.... #nesdev #gamedev

contrary to popular belief, I do still famitrack! here's a level theme for a burger joint deep in the primordial forest (it's called Dino-Burger), for an upcoming NES+VRC6 top-down racing game by @dullahansoft.bsky.social

although, after uploading with dropped frames of course you can barely tell....

Increased drag and a lil' Y bounce and cobblestone driving feels good--I mean bad....I mean you know what I mean #nesdev #gamedev

Def. worth a try I think.

I wonder if I can make driving on cobblestone here just as bad as it is in real life #nesdev #gamedev

Space....race. #nesdev #gamedev

This time we got a music post + #rexnobilis update twofer: here's a sneak peek at the 100% homegrown music engine and a WIP of one of the boss tunes for my SNES bullet hell Rex Nobilis! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #snes #スーパーファミコン #スーファミ

Also lava will eventually hurt...not bounce.
