Not dead yet! Just been busy with other things :P Here's a miniboss I'm working on for Special Ninja Squad. Featuring a bike chase because I listen to you guys :P I should have most of the assets now. Just need to draw a few extra tiles and off to implementation! #pcengine #gamedev #turbografx

Has this ever happened to anyone else? I got over 3000 downloads on two of my April Fools' games on itch, but no views. Guessing bots?

RIP my wallet On the positive side, I now have 12 carts left for a full PAL/NTSC NES set. Used to be my main focus before moving to Japan/getting into PC Engine, but I'm still grabbing the ones I need when I have the chance!

Haven't had much chance to work on the game recently, sometimes life gets in the way. Still planning to go back to it as soon as I can though! For now, I found this silly manga about salaryman ninjas, I feel like I might get some inspiration for Special Ninja Squad :P

Been doodling some enemies for the next level, such as this cyborg amazon :D #pcengine #gamedev #turbografx

Something else from the video archives, and it's my look at 1943 Kai for PC Engine! You might just think it's a darn solid conversion of Capcom's remix of 1943, but then you find out it's more. So much more. Which makes a darn tight conversion *truly* special. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Bcy...

FG Software @fgsoftware.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

My new compression ended up freeing 4KB so far. But accounting the extra graphics I still need to add (conveniently enough the kind it noticeably improved) I can already see it save a full bank's worth of data! And every bank counts on a HuCard :D #pcengine #gamedev #turbografx

FG Software @fgsoftware.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

The first brand new Stage 2 enemy is in! It's a wall lazer. Fairly simple, but more interesting ones are coming as well ;) #pcengine #gamedev #turbografx

FG Software @fgsoftware.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Doing on a few enemies after work :D The first is a stage-specific redesign of an older enemy (The big lad), and the bottom one is a Roller-Blade cyborg (Get it, cuz he has blades for arms and is on rollerblades :P) #pcengine #gamedev #turbografx

Making graphical variations of certain enemies to fit other levels should be fairly straightforward with my sprite system. Here's a reskin of the running soldier as a cyborg :D #pcengine #gamedev #turbografx

FG Software @fgsoftware.bsky.social · 22/03/2025

Since I only have the graphics ready for the next stage, I popped them in the game just to see if they decompress alright (you never know). I forgot how ridiculous levels with the wrong tileset can look lmao #pcengine #gamedev #turbografx

"If you see this, quote a game with a 10/10 soundtrack" Seeing as Jesper Kyd is one of my favourite chiptune artists, I'm gonna go with Batman&Robin on the Megadrive. youtu.be/915k0mMK-Fo Red Zone might have my favourite Kyd tune (Walking Remix), but every B&R tune is a 10/10 (esp. Psycho Section)
