maybe somewhat related to last post, do I know any sick pixel artists who are interested in working on an SNES game?

finding artists on social media remains almost impossible because the moment you drop any suggestion to someone that you're looking to hire, dozens of randos/bots come out of the woodwork acting like you were talking to them

I also noticed that the tool in SNES Dezaemon for setting up the background you scroll over during gameplay switches the screen resolution to 512x448, in order to show the tile picker and other UI elements next to a preview of the level without cutting the graphics down. That's a clever use for it.
Screenshot of Kaite Tsukutte Asoberu Dezaemon for Super Famicom, showing the editor for setting up the scrolling background for stage 1. There is a selection of graphics tiles on the left that can be placed onto a map on the right.

one of my favorite things to learn about Yoshi's Island was that some of the most impressive effects in the game weren't even done with the Super FX, they were just HDMA trickery. like Salvo the Slime is made of numerous stacked lines pulled from a triangular background image

I've published a new version of my homebrew SNES audio driver. The samples tab has been completely redesigned. It can automatically tune newly created samples and allows the user to drag & drop an external file into the samples list. github.com/undisbelieve... #snesdev #spc700

using up to 4 channels for multiphonics in this segment, with up to 3 notes per-channel, that means to do this part with only one note per-channel you would need up to 11 channels to do this...which is almost 2x what the PCE actually has!

man, RIP Bobby Prince...I'd be lying if I said he was one of my top-tier favorite composer guys, but I played Doom as a kid and his style was foundational to my understanding of what hellish, demonic background music should be like Bobby Prince was the originator of what I call "SATAN BLUES" (1/4)

another theme for @dullahansoft.bsky.social's upcoming NES+VRC6 top-down racing game, this was originally for a more castles/trolls themed place (hence Drunken Trolls) I'm surprised I don't seem to hear more people doing liberal PWM abuse on VRC6

you can make a multiphonic wavetable that sounds like 3 notes, and then you can stack them on 2 channels for some thick sounding chords

there's nothing more 2010-era chiptune than writing a dozen or so Mega Man songs and then decreeing that you're moving on from chiptune because you ran out of things to do with it

once upon a time I was scoring a PC Engine port of Alter Ego which unfortunately seems to have vanished off the face of the earth, it was a neat opportunity to revisit doing some new takes on enhanced versions of the tunes...stick around for 0:49!

this tune was actually written in Deflemask, before Furnace blessed us with operator macros, so the chordpatch delaying each op was actually accomplished via some SSG-EG jank instead. crazy technique that I will literally never use again!

Okay... still WIP but I think I've got this to a suitable stopping point for now. blitzlunar.neocities.org/goodmidi 😅 I am as sick of 2025 politics as you. So I wanted to do something fun and soulful, to make the web slightly less of a barren corporate shithole, in the small way that I know how.
