The mighty Alammo of AlammoFM on YT has just dropped OMEGADRIVE on @itch.io - an interactive #MegaDrive VGM player!

Extremely impressive despite only being in beta - definitely one to keep an eye (and ear) on. Now go and explore some MD #chiptunes!

Quick megadrive graphics test, drawing weird shapes using a distorted tilemap. (Yes, like Yoshi's island).
details in followup post.

That guy playing Ken is actually really good at that acting thing. He’s super fun in The Recruit. 2 seasons on Netflix and it’s interesting because his physique is totally different for Street Fighter. Looks like he put in A LOT of time at the gym.

Once upon a time I also got tired of drawing robots and spaceships. So I drew Battle Beasts instead. They’re an old toy line … and drawing all 76 of them with their mix of animal and armor really was super fun. Plus the cartoonish proportions was a nice change.

Razing Core is a shoot 'em up in development for SEGA Master System/Mark III.

I plan to release it this year on itch digitally with a physical version to follow.

* MegaDrive 3D Engine Day 3 *

Blast Processing kicks in, 68 assembly for the Line and Triangle Fills .

25-33 % speedups vs C = more Triangles & Lines at the same framerate .

Prior C code was surprisingly good. Took real effort to get more speed.

Focussing on render speed for now over 3d effect.

Axelay used on back of the Japanese instruction manual and the OST booklet. Image depicts the spacecraft Axelay flying above a vast city landscape with some other spacecrafts flying near and further in the background. The sunset can be seen in the horizon the the right making the sky having tones of orange and purple with some faint clouds scattered around.

The artwork of #Axelay used on back of the Japanese instruction manual and the OST booklet. Removed text, applying the usual upscale/clean/retouch combo. Still a bit cropped on the left and bottom. No clue on the artist, any info let me know!

A tip for anyone struggling in Road Fighter, you can use the Konami code on the title screen at "press start" to get unlimited fuel (still lose fuel when crashing).

You will hear a sound if it worked. 🆗

Made a scroller demo for the Sega MasterSystem / MK3, using devkitsms. Has a fixed HUD bar using an interrupt.
Supports maps of any width, with a maximum of 192px/24 tiles high, so you've got a bit of wiggle.

I'll opensource it ... soon.

Went to #PAXeast on Thursday. My first and probably last time. It was an exploratory visit to see if it was a good place to advertise Gilgamech.
Not much retro there. A lot of people were really enjoying the show, but it’s not for me 🤷‍♂️

Feeling the crunch with #PAXeast happening in just a couple of days.

I have a list of things to fix/change for #Gilgamech before PAX, but I just got a big freelancer job and lost my free time.

A true happy/sad conflict of emotions. Gotta pay the bills first, indie game dev second 😭

I’m supremely interested in this Homebrew Factory process and especially in the quality of their final products.

But am I $60 interested? The future is uncertain.

I have a vague recollection that the second book was my favorite of the Dune books. Unfortunately, that is literally all I can remember about it. I guess 34 years is too long ago 🤷‍♂️

I finally figured out how to make multi-sprite snake enemies. Please remember that I’m not really a programmer so this was quite a challenge for me.

Or how about Vytor the Starfire Champion? Was that ever a Ben released in real media or did I just tape it off TV??
