Expanded WIP sneak peeks for tiers 'subscriber' and above. Authentic NES displayable graphics using MMC5-style 8x8 attributes and tile banks (Actually Broke Studio's more pragmatical "rainbow mapper", but it's the same mapping concept). www.patreon.com/posts/expand...

I've begun working a bit for @brokestudio.bsky.social on a game concept using their 'rainbow' cart, allowing often rumoured/seldom seen mmc5-style 8x8 attributes & tilecount per scene; NES displayable. My process thoughts available on patreon, supporter tier & up. www.patreon.com/posts/148758...

I got a new bug report. Nothing's burning to the ground, but it was both simple to solve and serious enough that it warranted a same-day, late-nite update. So, here's NEXXT studio 3.7.4. One crash case leaner. frankengraphics.itch.io/nexxt

Addendum to the NEXXT 3.7 release Despite testing, some bugs were discovered after while recording new tutorials. Here's some things to avoid 'til i release a patch: -Don't delete sprites -Don't paste sprites both may create difficult to deal with behaviour. +3 minor bugs. Halfway through fixing

Meatwashing. When a human being repeats hallunicantions from chatbots, which other people inadvertedly trust more; creating both factoids & simulacra in the process. i’m sure i’m not the forst this has occured to, but i want to call it that. Meatwashing. As in ”that’s just meatwashed slop”.

I just released NEXXT studio 3.6.4 (the tool i make most of my NES assets in). frankengraphics.itch.io/nexxt This minor update's most important improvement is that 'metatiles' auto-repair themselves when you swap tiles around, saving a lot of time and hassle. Plus a good handful fixes and polish

Cursed console idea: About 2nd or 3rd gen-equivalent BUT the on-off switch is a potentiometer also controlling the CPU clock speed. On-off is an 8th turn snap. Then you'll have to dial the ideal mhz speed for bug free play. The temptation to trim it to avoid slowdown frames is always there.
