Samurai Pizza Cats! Coming to Blu-ray from gorgeously remastered film & recreated titling. The Japanese version subbed will come later. You thought another company had it? Great timing for their convention banner that isn't for Blu-rays kept this one secret.

Little thread where I talk about subpixel animation and share some of my own resources I made to study it better. This is a circle I rendered in blender slowly crawling up 2 pixels over the course of 17 frames. I'm showing the aliased version first and I'm going to break down what's happening here

Mega Parodius (Megadrive) Scaling !! Went crazy, decided to do the hardest bit (possibly) in the port next , Stage 8 Boss !! Horizontal scaling only at present , vertical is next . Horizontal is much harder to achieve at speed. 1,2,3,4x scale over 74 updates. He's 21kb of tiles ie massive !!

*** Mega Parodius (MegaDrive) Update *** Dialing up the engine to see what it can handle and we run out of sprites before cpu so thats a good thing as we don't want any slowdown . Not accurate to arcade but might be an insane mode option, lots of logic / animations missing / WIP etc. 1/..

Added an animation/sequencer system that temporarily hands the entire game state over to a script so it can go in and manipulate objects positions and states. It's linked in with both the cutscene system and used for some game events, testing here with the player saved from falling into a hazard;

textbox render test! I've mentioned this thing a few times as it's taken an age to get working right, it does pixel-level positioning, proportional fonts, all sorts of stuff. I'll publish the source to this bit standalone once I've got all the features in and made a good font for it...
