What's up, #Castlevania #SOTN fans? This month is a small-ish update fixing a few bugs and working on a lot of back-end changes clearing out some technical debt. We also added a crash handler to the game! Now we can find out what code caused the game to crash! #retrogaming #gamedev #randomizer

This person seems to think that four games in the last year means the gaming industry wants us to have kids. Sorry, mate. It ain't about you. Not everything is. That's not even a large number of games. Just don't buy them. Stop being a narcissist. #DeathStranding #DonkeyKong #pragmata #ResidentEvil

Quite possibly the best generation of Pokémon with one of the strongest stories and Gamefreak consistently ignores them.

You might be wondering why a programmer would be OK with system collapse. Quite easy: As programmers, we all know that sometimes a system is so broken and full of other people's shitty code that you need a complete refactor from the ground up to improve it.

I mean, ICE is gonna get sued into oblivion as soon as possible anyway, but information is information. Suppressing knowledge is a typical fascism move. Nice to see the playbook is at least somewhat in use.

Small update for the 4/14/2025 update! The #Castlevania #SOTN #Randomizer got a pretty hefty update for 4/2/2025 so this is just some ancillary and cosmetic changes as well as a transparency-based addition of the "Known Bugs" section. Good luck on your seeds! #RetroGaming #GameDev

eldri7ch @eldri7ch.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

One of the most recent additions to the #Castlevania #SOTN #Randomizer was the additional sector load for code and function programming in the game. 14 sectors, 3 for the randomizer, 11 for the preset files. That's almost 9 kb if MIPS instructions! #gamedev #retrogaming #romhack

Huge shout-out to @taliczealot.bsky.social (github.com/TalicZealot) for working with us on adding the new All Bosses mode to his Rando Tools! @wecoc.bsky.social made these icons to help us keep track of what we're doing. Massive thanks to both! #GameDev #RomHack #Castlevania #SOTN #RetroGaming

I actually used to repair and clean #NES games / consoles for a hobby. Nothing beat disassembling something, fixing, then cleaning it and watching it work better! Unfortunately I lost my job and had to sell my whole collection but it was fun while I did it. #retro #gaming

The April update for the #Castlevania #SOTN #randomizer will be adding, for the first time since their original release, the Reverse Library Card! We also made a HUGE update for #romhackers by making the randomizer to pre-load 11 "empty" CD sectors to RAM! That's 28 KB of coding! #gamedev
