The 'Paparazzi project' now has a definitive name and look: PhotoHacks! Version 0.3.0-alpha is now available on the itch project page, featuring its new branding 😊 geese-bumps.itch.io/photohacks

Over 15 years ago, I came up with a project: a "Where's Waldo?" style game where you had to chase people with a camera, trying to get the best shot. I haven’t been able to get it out of my head since Now you can play the first alpha! geese-bumps.itch.io/proyecto-pap...

The whole point is that a musician can use it without depending on the programmer. One script sets up the environment, you drop the files you want to test into the "audio" folder, and another script builds them — and launches the emulator too, if you want

They drop VGMs and WAVs in a folder, double-click one thing, and get a ROM per driver (XGM v1 and XGM2) with a menu to play, loop and mix several sounds at once, plus the Z80 load on screen, so "it stutters when everything plays" becomes a number

It's already been a year since the last tech demo of The Weave! @haddhar.bsky.social and I (@ganso.eurosky.social) are now working with @playonretro.bsky.social on Mega Red Planet, but I found some time to update it 😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-oH...

I think we’ve done all we can by inheriting maps from previous versions. This summer, it’s time to stop and redesign the game from the ground up. What do you prefer? A "toonrican" or a "metoonvania"? Maybe both?

Last Saturday, those who attended #RetroPixel in Málaga were able to try this updated version. Here you can see those same screens

Can you believe it’s only been a few months? This was my very first test for Mega Red Planet, porting the first 5 screens of the Raspberry Pi version to the Mega Drive back in February 👇

We are SO BACK! 🚀 If I’ve been quiet about The Weave, it’s because I’m developing the Mega Drive remake of Red Planet for @playonretro.bsky.social Yes, the classic title from Spectrum, CPC, and Raspberry/Windows is coming to SEGA! Here is some fresh gameplay from the first part

The Weave now has three distinct Animal Crossing-style voices that smoothly adapt to both Spanish and English text. What do you think? Thanks @zxprojects.bsky.social for your tips 😉 #IndieGameDev #MegaDriveDev #RetroGaming #GameDev #Homebrew

GeeseBumps @geesebumpsgames.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

I’m progressing on text presentation: each character now has its own “voice,” with gibberish in the style of Animal Crossing or Sims. Voices are pregenerated using Google Text to Speech and preprocessed into short syllables that play synced with the on-screen text (work in progress)

GeeseBumps @geesebumpsgames.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

I'm alive! After the last public beta I took a break… and made the mistake of buying Baldur’s Gate 3. But I’m finally back! Today’s update adds a small text flash effect (you can speed it up by pressing A)

031

GeeseBumps @geesebumpsgames.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

🎉 Characters can now move at fractional speeds! The hero walks at 1.5x speed, and the mother at 0.75x. Sounds trivial, right? Well, I had to rewrite ALL the movement code to use non-integer types. It nearly killed me 😵‍💫
