Wat. Een. Expo. Azuma's Sacrifice, Fiddlehead, Thread of Corruption en Synth Protocol. Vier games die de Best Game Award waardig zijn. Uiteindelijk kon er maar één winnen (Azuma). Maar dat de kwaliteit hoog lag was een understatement. Wat een prachtige creatieve prestatie weer van alle teams!

Got this fan release today. The game Illusion City for the MSX Turbo-R. One of the very few games for that system. Made by legendary developer Microcabin. Now fully translated! Boxes and put on a cartridge by Outer Heaven. Loving it 🤩 #msx #msxturbor #fanrelease

On days like these it is a real privilege to work in The Hague University. In the morning we had student Teams pitching their games for the GameLab. In the afternoon playtests of various games. Awesome to see all that talent & creativity!

Had the privilege to talk at the HKU last week. Topics were the @dutchgamesassociation.nl and OSM. It was a lot of fun! HKU produced a lot of successful game devs over the years.

MSX2 is 40 years old this year! To celebrate this, there will be an amazing event in Amsterdam: MSX2GOTO40. If you've ever owned an MSX, then this is for you! With (Japanese!) guests, games, music and hardware. It is selling out soon, but there are still a few tickets left. www.msxgoto40.com

Ok, I realize that OSM is not mine anymore... Lots of things have changed (or didn't change enough) since I sold it. But still, seeing that it is no. 3 mobile sports game after behemoths like EA makes me smile 😎😬👏🏼⚽

A new MSX2+ machine for my collection: the Panasonic A1-FX. It's just a beautiful piece of late '80s tech and design, from Japan of course. 🤩

For the Dutchies among us: it's holiday season. Read this book: SCOREN! It's an honest story about a game studio that started from an attic room and through stumbling, falling and getting up again, finally made an exit. Buy it at Bol or Amazon or ask for it in your local bookstore.

Jeroen Derwort @jeroenderwort.nl · 17/07/2025

This Sony HB-F5 is the latest addition to my MSX collection. A Japanese MSX2 with a gorgeous keyboard. It is unremarkable in every other way, but I just love the design.

I received this gem today. The final edition of a disk magazine. The legendary Future Disk for MSX: the longest running disk magazine for any system, ever. Loving it! 🤩💾

Packed! 🚀 It was the first time the showcase floor was almost empty. Heard a lot of good things about the talk as well, so you definately nailed it (again).

INDIGO '25 has come to a close. It was an amazing edition of an amazing event. A ton of kudos to two people that made this all possible: Martine Spaans and Geoff van den Ouden. 🙏🙏

Implemented Ghost Runner! During the latest playtest the feedback I got was that replaying levels was not that exciting. A way to fix that is to implement a ghost runner so you can try to beat your own record. Done. ✅

Had a lot of fun with my kids yesterday. I challenged then to draw something and then I asked ChatGPT to turn it into a cartoon character. The results inspired them to draw even more! 🤩

It has been a busy week! With trips to Games for Health, Fontys, Flitsboek, H20 Campus and a talk at Webwinkel Vakdagen, followed by demos in THUAS GameLab, several meetings and ongoing affairs... Now it's finally time to enjoy the sun for a bit.☀️

Visited @fontys.bsky.social game design incubator! Inspiring to see what's happening here: allowing students to pursue their dream creating awesome games in their own company cubicles! 🔥

Penguin Panic on Steam Deck! It works.. still some touch ups required but we're getting there🐧🥳

Jeroen Derwort @jeroenderwort.nl · 06/03/2025

We have a new addition to the GameLab! A showcase cabinet from Dutch Game Garden's INDIGO. It's an old one from 2010, but with some touching up we'll put it to good use. The idea is to put the games we create here at The Hague University on it, for everyone to enjoy.

The latest addition to my MSX collection is a Pioneer PX-V60. A simple MSX1 but it is disguised as an audio amplifier. Really love this form factor! #msx #pioneer
