Can't think of a game set among ruins that made me more desperate to see more of its world. So few games manage such an original and rich aesthetic, so sad the team never got to make more. 17798187
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I’ve seen a few people point out how bad this is, but I’m not sure I understand the reaction. What’s specifically so bad? In somes ways this is more pro-consumer than being required to permanently store a card with Sony, especially goven Sony’s history with data breaches. 240

mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 21/07/2026What OpenFPGA cores are folks using for GBA Emulation on the pocket these days?I know about spiritualized, but that one is pretty old as far as I'm aware.

mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 17/07/2026This is so cool to me. Do you have any suggestions for beginners to start learning the basics of things like FPGA and whatnot? I’ve spent my whole career on the software side of things, but I’d love to tinker with things like this at some point 100

mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 15/04/2026Mega Maganium is so good! I've also been playing with a trick room + Maganium team that uses Cofagrigus as the trick room setter instead of Farigiraf. Your team looks like a bunch of fun! 110

The kids are alright and they are making amazing games. 112619

Reposted by mtthgnCirkus @cirkusleader.bsky.social · 22/03/2026Games like Dungeons of Hinterberg are the reason I will *always* prefer stylized art over realistic. This game isn't graphically intensive, but it's absolutely gorgeous to look at. 1851534
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 25/03/2026I'm curious, did your experience with the valerion projector improve after setup? I've been eyeing one of these, but it's hard to separate marketing hype from reality. 100
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Are there any plans for a physical release down the road? I tend to double-purchase digital-games I love 😅 120
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 23/03/2026Another problem is that most folks have not meaningfully experienced the alternative, so imagining a safe, walkable community without the dangers of vehicles zooming by is difficult to fathom. At least from the question stated in the image, "walking distance" doesn't address "walkability" concerns. 010
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Great to hear! I know presenting in moments like that can be super stressful. 010
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 18/03/2026I love these references so much! It’s great to see your process 110
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 18/03/2026Players can sense the common sizes that appear on the screen, so meta sprites can make things feel a lot more natural + less boxy. They can also lead to more efficient OBJ VRAM usage. This sprite could technically be a 64x64 sprite, but it'd take over 2x the VRAM! #gamedev #retrodev #pixelart 082
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 18/03/2026The GBA has fixed sprite sizes, essentially combinations of 8, 16, 32, and 64 for width and height. In order to have sprites free of these constraints, you can make "meta sprites" out of multiple sprites. This brings other challenges, like proper horizontal flipping 😅 #retrodev #gamedev #pixelart 2143

mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 10/03/2026The fact that I felt I had to double check whether a boba clause was actually in the contract really speaks to Outersloth's incredible vibe. 100
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 08/03/2026I watched all of this today; it was an excellent presentation! Very informative, I learned a ton. 110
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 03/03/2026Physical games have some useful differences, IMO. For example, as a parent, being able to take games away without having to futz with parental controls is huge! There’s also resale value, and the rare times I can play physical games while PSN is down because the PS5 can verify the disk locally 😅 000
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 27/02/2026The new Pokemon starters look excellent! Pombon is gonna be a huge hit, but my heart has always been drawn to the grass pokemon. Browt's angry eyes are so cute! 000
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 25/02/2026I've been meaning to say that I've been really enjoying your blog since discovering it via your post on running and Dragon Quest! I feel like it really highlights how hobbies (and different life experiences in general) can provide fresh perspectives on each other. Keep up the amazing work! 110
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 18/02/2026To be more clear, the only constructs in that screenshot specifically made by me is all the Sprite stuff. The scene concept and the display control you see are functionality baked in to Natu, the framework built by the developers of Goodboy Galaxy: natu.exelo.tlnatu.exelo.tlNatu 010
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 18/02/2026It's nim! And yes, it compiles to native. There's a bit of macro work going on to get that `scene TestScene` syntax. 110
Reposted by mtthgnmtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 17/02/2026Lately I've been working on being able to properly support meta-sprites in my GBA games. The term meta-sprite is a colloquial way of saying you're combining multiple sprites to represent a single entity. In the video, the mega man zero is a meta-sprite the pink blob is a regular sprite. #gamedev 193
mtthgn @mtthgn.bsky.social · 17/02/2026I feel like I recall a dissonance between the reviews of "Princess Peach: Showtime!" and my experience with it. For me, it was a perfect introduction to many game genres for my kids. They still enjoy playing it to this day. 010
