Brought the localization system from Takataka over into dicon, so now we have radishes in many languages.
Check it out if you need an .ICO builder for your projects.

How it started versus how it's going:
You don't have to make your own tools, but sometimes it's more fun.

Zuck, if you don't want to work anymore you can just retire. You can afford it, my guy.
Here's the MS Store link if you're a MS Store person. (Are those a thing?)

Free .ICO builder, new project, released RIGHT NOW.
This morning I dropped dicon on itch.io, MS Store, and 540software.com
If you need .ICO files for projects, this makes those!
Made it for me, but you can have it too! Radishes!

#gamedev #dev #devtools
oh boy here I go making stuff again
My graphic design skills are rusty, but I think I did okay for someone who has no idea how to use the tools. 🙃
Took a break from in-app UX to work out some iconography/branding I can use for the SNES project. I think I'm going to use some combination of these three, based on context.
Might give the user the option to pick between them in the app.

Working through the composite node implementation for my SNES authoring tool. You can combine nodes into prefab 'composite' nodes and re-use them elsewhere. You'll also be able to export/import nodes easily, it's all just JSON.
#SNES #homebrew #gamedev #retro
Building this node editor for the SNES project mostly from scratch in Avalonia, gotta build everything the user expects.
Today: Multi-select for nodes and clipboard support with an undo/redo stack. Not flashy, but needed. There's something more interesting tomorrow.
#gamedev #dev #snes #homebrew
Working on my SNES authoring tool and sanding the rough edges off the UX. Going for a dockable layout, so you can set up whatever workflow or layout you want.
#gamedev #dev #snes #homebrew
Adding syntax highlighting for my own SNES-specific intermediate language to Takataka, because such a large percentage of the userbase wanted that feature.
It's me, I'm the userbase.
The node graphs turn into this and this turns into 65816 assembly.

Proof of concept for the WIP SNES authoring tools, basic snake game running in Snes9x.

So this is why I've been working on the custom SNES emulator lately - it's a component for this project. All WIP stuff, but I'm putting together a tool for authoring SNES games with node based programming. It's been coming together fast but there's a ton of work still left.
#gamedev #dev #snes
I plan on giving this thing a Steam release, no ETA as of yet. No plan for branding yet either. (suggestions?) This is why the screenshots all say 'jank-sfc.'
The hope is to make this accessible to non-technical folks with game templates and wizard workflow for some common game types.

Another update with various fixes coming - probably today for all of my user.
Thanks, user.

Yeah, he's not trying to keep those people out, he's complaining they weren't properly monetized before.

Generated a 1.2GB CPU log file out of the WIP emulator core to debug some bad behavior on a specific ROM and Takataka handles files this size like a dream. 14M+ lines, no prob, Bob.
Feels great to get good results while dog-fooding.
Mega Man X attract mode running in my custom SNES emulator core. (Game is 60fps, but this video is 30.)

My newest project over at @540software.com involves a custom SNES emulator. Hopefully, people get excited about it once details are public.

Garbled Super Nintendo graphics screenshot, Vincent is bad at this.
Taking a crack at #snes #emulation - and it's going uh... great?

Syntax highlighting coming to Takataka in the next update with a pretty big pile of supported languages. #free #freesoftware

Multi-line editing added to Takataka yesterday. The update is on itch and the 540 website. The Microsoft Store version hasn't quite caught up yet, update pending validation.
