La prochaine vidéo causera de Illbleed, le jeu d'horreur tout chelou de la Dreamcast. Passionnant de découvrir Shinya Nishigaki qui nous a quitté bien trop tôt. C'est un sujet assez dig en anglophonie mais pas tellement chez nous. (Et les sources sont dispo déjà pour les soutiens à la chaine)

Big inspirations were obviously Sega, Konami or Capcom boot animations, but also @frederickraynal.bsky.social 's No Cliché logo animation, which left a big mark and impression on me. I hope I get to that level one day! www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnZT...

The jingle is synthesized in code (electric piano + pad + bells), 4 notes and a chord. Then it all goes through the AICA, Dreamcast' sound chip : 16-bit PCM in sound RAM, mixed and panned by its hardware channels + a bonus sound fx if you ever get lucky and get a foil edition!

espouaisso 🌀 @espouaisso.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Finally, the SOUND! This is where I had to experiment a little. The slide, the impact, the drips are recorded from my favorite cups (and a coin and water) and cut and edited with grace in Audacity

Here are some of these variant colors and effects (yes, there are very rare and foil editions)

espouaisso 🌀 @espouaisso.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
On top of that, I decided to add some color variants. The stickers are stored as greyscale masks, painted live by the Dreamcast PowerVR's offset color, so variants costs zero extra texture.

espouaisso 🌀 @espouaisso.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
Every boot , the slide length, friction, gravity spin, which side it comes from, letter order... can be different, so you're never really seeing the same animation everytime.

Nothing is keyframed, the animation runs on Dreamcast with KallistiOS, is powered by sh4zam.com (from the goat @falcogirgis.bsky.social ) and picophysics by (the goat) @kazade.bsky.social

I've been working on various original projects for the Dreamcast these past few month. With that came the idea of a studio logo, and basically an intro for my upcoming Dreamcast games ☕ yes, this runs on Dreamcast and yes, those sounds are my actual coffee cups lol Wanna know more? check below ↓

Yep! A Dreamcast with a 200Mhz CPU and 16mb or RAM runs this at 60fps. I played the Nintendo Switch version and it struggles to stay smooth in late game, unlike this Dreamcast version 😳

🤬🤬🤬 Why is SEGA withholding comment? If they didn't give permission, they should issue a legitimate protest. As a former SEGA employee, I am outraged. Segaは会社としてちゃんと抗議すべきです。これは一個人のAI生成への対応レベルの話じゃないでしょ。何故コメントを控えるんですか? @sega.jp

Diddy Kong Racing: #Nintendo64 Original vs our WIP #SegaDreamcast Port It's been so long since I played on N64, and I've had my head down so deep in the code, fighting for every 0.1FPS win, that I had started to lose sight of how our port even compares... Reality check. #gamedev #retrogaming

Been working ALL DAY to optimize and vectorize REVERB DSP effects for our #DiddyKong Racing Sega #Dreamcast... except the effects are emulated purely in software on our SH4 CPU. The SH4 was an absolute beast. Check out the entire reverb algorithm for it in the response! #retrogaming #gamedev #n64
