I'd like to find a way to get the source out there without just dumping a ton of Nintendo assets on Github. I'll figure something out

Hey! I noticed we're doing similar work, just a generation apart. I'm working on getting GBA games running at more of a SNES level. Not sure if it interests you, but it might be cool to talk shop.

Rhyming "jam" with "pokeman" was lyrical genius and I don't want to hear otherwise.

I was feeling flashy, so I did another #Godot port of a Flash classic - Stinkoman 20X6. colpanic.itch.io/stinkoman-20X6 Reimplemented the first two stages as a little microdemo, but plenty of potential for more!

Made another push on this Blasterball 2 reimplementation to get it closer to the original - title screen, bonus stages, saving progress and more: colpanic.itch.io/blasterball-... Still needs bosses and an art pass but I'm getting really close now. #IndieDev #GameDev

My recommendation is to avoid anything with a Mali GPU, mediatek or dimensity or whatever chipsets. You will pull your hair out fighting how bad those gpu drivers are on linux. Mobile gpus are in a sorry state, for real

It figures that I'd get the impulse to build a new project in the middle of a gamejam and have no choice but to build it. Anyone remember this particular breakout or Arkanoid clone? It used to come preinstalled on certain OEM desktop computers I think. colpanic.itch.io/blasterball-... #GameDev

Very cool! I heard about another one recently for exiting to the map like when you press Start + Select, but for unbeaten levels. Wonder if these were for debug or failsafe purposes and got left in and forgotten.

Today's #Godot practice is very silly. Trying different methods of destruction physics in a Mario-like 2D platformer - rigidbody debris or Worms-style circular cutouts. 2006 Newgrounds is gonna love it. #IndieDev #Gamedev

ColonelPanic @colonelpanic00.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

I tried a few #Godot Terrain generator plugins but nothing quite hits the iterative joy of Bryce. I wonder how hard it would be to just grab a bunch of existing noise and texture functions and glue them together in a "procedural, textured terrain in 5 minutes" plugin. Fun to roll a ball in though!

030

ColonelPanic @colonelpanic00.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Learning that #Godot has built in noise textures, noise generators, sky environment generation etc. has me pumped up to mess with some weird Bryce3D-esque environment generation in real time. I hope I'm allowed to rip the textures from Bryce and reuse them... #IndieDev #GameDev

ColonelPanic @colonelpanic00.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

This is really cool, even if it might not be exactly the same thing. I'm imagining all the nasty stuff I could do with an object thats its own fully transparent window...

010

ColonelPanic @colonelpanic00.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

#Godot practice again - I have the beginnings of a windowing system. Windows are draggable, resizable and completely local. Next up - a compositor to handle window focus, alt+tab behavior, etc. I wonder if this all already exists as some plugin somewhere. #GameDev #IndieDev

I love this style. Makes me think of GBA type stuff, Harvest Moon FOMT or Zelda Minish Cap. Maybe little interactables like stones to pick up? With dirt spots they leave behind?

Here's the forum post where I explored the possibility, and the Macintosh Garden page where I posted the patched version. macintoshgarden.org/forum/plants... macintoshgarden.org/games/plants... If you were curious, I couldn't find any other PopCap games with a similar accidental PPC build sadly.

A couple months ago I found out that Plants vs Zombies had an accidental PowerPC Mac port in one release - but with a huge timing bug. I really wanted to play it on my iBook G4 so I ended up patching the bug myself. #Retrocomputing #Romhack

ColonelPanic @colonelpanic00.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Oh, agreed! The whole game is very much a somber experience. The music is a little wistful. The levels themselves tend to have darker, more muted palettes than the bright colors of DKC1. Even the jungle levels, bombastic and bright in 1, are foreboding and antagonistic - like this is not YOUR jungle

ColonelPanic @colonelpanic00.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Absolutely, plus, since it's designed for modern rendering, there was a lot of "Wait, stop, don't make it look THAT good". It's amusing when making something look "bad" is as difficult as trying to make it look good.

ColonelPanic @colonelpanic00.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Plus, that old phone had some killer gaming on it. Wonder if this build of Tetris is the same as the one on the clickwheel iPods? #retro #retrogames #retrogaming #dumbphone #interfacefriction

Found an old cell phone in a drawer - still held a charge! Shot some sick VGA mallcore pics with it yesterday. Something about the fluorescence, fuzzy resolution and my shaky photography skills makes it a bit headache-inducing tho. #retro #liminal #liminalspaces #liminalplaces #interfacefriction

Here's when I spent a few hours learning Blender to try and recreate the Bryce look, but in five minutes managed to make the Bryce equivalent, and it was so much better it hurt. It was a bit demoralizing honestly! I'll try again someday. #3D #Blender #b3d #retro #LowPoly
