I've been optimizing my collision code and enemy AI system. I gained 10 - 30 FPS depending on the level and everything is running great now! I also overhauled the weapons. Check out my free Patreon post for a video and details... www.patreon.com/mechazone/po... #IndieGame #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive

It still works on the real Megadrive HW. I added rects over the animation to show physical sprites dynamically. Now I can do it with BizHawk scripting.

Polishing this stage up, using every megadrive trick I know. It's a short little interstitial area where you'll be attacked by birds while travelling. featuring two framebuffer effects at once using a task scheduler and a big wobbly carriage sprite that drops a shadow (and needs a redraw).

fixed the 32X port, only using it in subtle ways for now like increasing the background framerate on this stage and fixing a few visual whoopsies. Unless life throws another wrench at it, game is coming to both Megadrive and 32X platforms. #gamedev

also here's a stage background i'm working on, the player is going to be in the mid ground on a cart doing something or other, it works by using the 68k's user mode to render then a bunch of small funky shaped DMA writes to copy up to vram, designed so action can still run at 60fps ontop.

Small update on the Megadrive *rally game* ? I added sprites and did some optimization so CPU is still at 70% usage with a stable 60 fps. I'm a bit disappointed by the sprite width limit per-line. I wanted a lot more dense vegetation but it's not possible with sprites. I'll try other methods.

Enemy Dropship was added to Gilgamech last week. It swoops down and drops small troops, then flies off screen. I made it with 3 parts so the abdomen area and wings can be swapped or animated independently. #Gilgamech #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive #GameDev #SoloDev #SGDK

Been working on enemies for the #Gilgamech submarine level. These harpoon chains shoot up from an ocean trench and latch onto the sub. They deal damage until you destroy them. This ties in to the previous level where you see ships destroyed by these harpoons. I love continuity stuff like this.

My game will have infinite continues but not a lot of handholding otherwise. The challenge has always been part of the fun. Not that I like super hard games, because I don’t, but some modern games are almost patronizing with how much they coddle players.

Finally worked out the height format for the stunt racer tracks and started writing a proper 3D engine for it. all sorts of rendering and logic issues, but it's chugging along, once it's *perfect*, I'll dig into optimising, the Megadrive isn't this slow!
