LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 08/10/2026LoBlast in Space! I spent 5 hours making a print ad for an upcoming Famicom book. Then another 2 hours using those assets and making music to create this. I'm trying to come up with fun ways for me to feed the algorithm machines. 0143

LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 13/07/202613 out of 32 multiNES Season Passes remain! I want to thank everyone for supporting this ~10 NES game making mission I have put myself on so far. Chomp Champ is so close to shipping I can taste it. <3 #nesdev 061

LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 08/04/2026This screen was looking a bit "lifeless" so I added a friend! This is Chomp Champ's bouncing germ time. Music by Ominous Pigeon Master and has nothing to do with the game, ok? :D #nesdev 0215
LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Chomp Champ for the NES (coming soon!) graphics skratch pad. I like to keep development history of game projects. Sometimes you have to bruteforce a design through a bunch of iterations. #nesdev 0213
LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Boss Fight Progress for Orange Island Cancrorum is a space ship crab or something with a few fancy moves. Aided by spitting turtles, this boss is sure to be a dizzying spectacle. Too many sprites required though. #nes #gamedev #nesdev www.youtube.com/shorts/oCDIA...youtube.comBoss Fight Progress for Orange Island #nes #gamedevYouTube video by LoBlast 0177
LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 04/02/2026It definitely is possible and I've been considering it. My guess is that buttons from left to right would be B A Select Start. The current controller I'm working on is meant to be held, but I also have plans for a split board version with a wire between for desktop play. 010
LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Now on the 4th revision of the custom NES controller. The diamond shape for the directional pad buttons is definitely a step in the right direction, but there's still room to improve the ergonomics. At this point it's almost as comfortable as a traditional controller. #retrograming 2978

LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 11/11/2025Orange Island for the NES features a shmup section for the boss fights. Here's a 30fps gif showing off my engine's current progress. 32 baddies/bullets/particles and up to 16 player bullets. The bar on the left shows CPU usage. Enough left for an audio driver! #nesdev 16013

LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 09/10/2025Part III: Finally some light at the end of the tunnel. With some exception, the left and bottom borders are finally static. Time to fix the last few bugs, fill in the right border, and get the color data on screen! #nesdev 1176

LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 25/09/2025Part II: Non-scrolling border illusion for Orange Island. Playing back at 25% speed, we can see the final border design (mostly) staying static on the left side of the screen. We're blitting between the 2 nametables. Definitely many issues left to mitigate. Large boss metasprite added for fun! 1213
LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 25/09/2025the static border will be on both sides when we're done! 110
LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 28/08/2025This non-scrolling border illusion trick for Orange Island is feeling half done. The NES can be quite unforgiving. In my head it seemed conceptually simply, but in execution it has been a maddening labyrinth of timing issues. Follow this thread for updates. #nesdev 1404
LoBlast @loblast.bsky.social · 27/08/2025Quality testing and assurance is how I keep “remixes” like this from going out to customers. I have a lot of these boards though so maybe I should do a special limited release at some point. 🎉🔥🎊 #nes #homebrew #retrogaming #diy #retro #gamedev #quality 0132
