Orange Island #nesdev updated: getting 32 things to fly around a scene is one thing; making them interact correctly as entities is another. Finally feeling comfy to really start coding all object behaviors. About half done with everything in this first scene!

Sometimes I wonder if I have any clue what I'm doing running this business. Started a black friday sale two days late. Didn't promote ahead of time. Everybody already burnt out on sales emails. It's ok, I'm low on Bleepler PCBs anyways. 😅

New cornputer who dis? 40-50% faster processors than the one I was running which has a slow, failing harddrive. Migration is taking forever but I’m so stoked to have a machine that doesn’t grind to a halt when it needs to cache ram to disk!

yeah dawg its sunday

Orange Island for the NES features a shmup section for the boss fights. Here's a 30fps gif showing off my engine's current progress. 32 baddies/bullets/particles and up to 16 player bullets. The bar on the left shows CPU usage. Enough left for an audio driver! #nesdev

my weekend projects included making the best synth ever in #GodotEngine

I just want to put this out into the universe. If you are a homebrew developer of a GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SMS, MD/Genesis, N64, or PS1 game with a free version or a free demo of you game, I’d love to ship it with SuperStation as a physical or digital demo disk.

A Taiwanese retro-gaming fan spent 5 years building a setup of 4 real CRT TVs fused with classic consoles — so anyone can play for free at exhibitions. Everyone told him to use LCDs. He refused. It’s not for sale — it’s a love letter to retro gaming culture. 💾❤️ #Oldtendo

TIL that it's not cardinal and diagonal butt cardinal and ordinal orthogonal can fuck right off

oh you're a full stack engineer? What's this then ?

you can just do things. signal integrity is a myth propagated by wire companies.

Today is Microsoft's final support day for Windows 10. I hope next time my cornputer reboots against my will it isn't upgraded to 11. I also hope that this means I never have to worry about delaying forced upgrades and patches ever again. #tech

Worked on my NES emulator a bit this weekend. Added a bunch of op codes, realized I’m not sure how to implement IRQ, and got another game screen to come up. Sprites not appearing bug. No inputs programmed yet.

The Famicom/NES was Nintendo's best console. Nothing but downhill from there!

A new homebrew game for SEGA Megadrive/Genesis and Neo Geo by BitbeamCannon (Daemon Claw) called "Metal Mack". Kickstarter is coming soon. Link: https://t.co/Q5GXBIDwPx #sega #homebrew #metalmack

Vending at Cleveland Gaming Classic this weekend!

PSA #nesdev: @4mhz_es has upgraded the "Official Homebrew Seal" image I released a while back and feature on my games. Anyone is free to use it without credit. It's not "official" in any way. Talk to a lawyer if you are concerned about legality.👮‍♂️ https://t.co/df5WTbXmcQ

You can now stun enemies with the grapple hook and I've added collapsing platforms too. #homebrew #mastersystem

This non-scrolling border illusion trick for Orange Island is feeling half done. The NES can be quite unforgiving. In my head it seemed conceptually simply, but in execution it has been a maddening labyrinth of timing issues. Follow this thread for updates. #nesdev
