This was an interesting month, I got to play some games I literally waited decades to be able to play them.

Madou Monogatari for Sega Saturn, which recently got a fan translation.

Ollie King, an arcade game that became 100% playable thanks to a fork of Xemu.

After Burner Climax for Play Station 3. Nothing remarkable happened about its emulation this month, but I got reminded of its PS3 version after a long time trying to emulate the arcade version.

To my mutuals and followers that are Puyo Puyo fans, go play Madou Monogatari for Sega Saturn if you haven't already, it has an English fan translation now. It's not a suggestion, I order you to play it.

Macky got transported to another world where she met Seth the Imp, and in the process she got a makeover involving a weird metal arm, I wonder what it is? Based on an idea by @sethscrypt.newgrounds.com, creator of Seth the Imp.

I made another change to the timeline graph in Time Foay in hopes to make it easier to understand. Here's a "before" and "after" comparison. #GameDev #IndieDev #GameMaker #PixelArt

I'm making an instruction booklet for Time Foray just because I want, even if it's just a PDF included in the game files. I miss the days when games came with those, especially when they had a cool design and contained lots of interesting tidbits and artwork. #GameDev #IndieDev

Firefox finally added a more user-friendly system for managing profiles, but apparently it's independent from the old one, and there's no way of transferring the profiles either (or at least I don't see it).

My highlights from the Gamescom are these arcade minigames in Showa American Story that are obvious references to Space Harrier and OutRun.

Given how guest characters in Fortnite must have the "realistic adult human" bodytype, they missed the opportunity to do the funniest thing with Sonic.

@denshattack.bsky.social is the first game I've played in a long time that made me want to 100% it. That's how fun it is.

It always disappoints me to see people I follow being more active in the former "blue bird" than here, especially when they are vocally against it or the numbnut that owns it.

Finished Denshattack!, thoroughly enjoyed it. It's incredibly deep for a game about a train that does tricks. Great OST too, even as huge as it is with 80 music tracks, it never drops in quality.

I just finished Blasphemous 2: The Third Sin, the amount of content and mechanics it provides is crazy for a free DLC. I also loved the Castlevania references. Thanks and great job @thegamekitchen.com !

I've paused development on my shoot 'em up to continue working on Time Foray. Here's a new gameplay twist, moving levels. This leads to new situations with puzzles that should be tackled in a different way than in regular levels. #GameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt #GameMaker

These comics understand classic Sonic way better than the games. If only they had more room to work with, because they only make these anniversary one-shots with simple stories where they try to cram as many cameos and references as they can.

I love the implication in the Columns title screen that it is an actual physical game played by the angels using telekinetic powers to move the pieces around.

I love how the "Hop N Slide" minigame in the new Rhythm Paradise is about a videogame made by an amateur gamedev where the graphics have an inconsistent pixelart, with varying pixel density, different styles, expanding and rotating pixels, and even pixels that don't fit on their own sprite grid.

Psst, hey! Here's a little secret! If you like a post you can make the author know instantly just by pressing that heart shaped icon below it! It only takes 0.3 seconds! I felt like doing this because I've seen many people that like my stuff but I won't know it until they tell me somewhere else lol.

For the people that see me rambling about "superscaler" and don't know what it is, it's the technology used by Sega in their arcade games from the 80s and early 90s that allowed them to scale sprites to simulate depth. Some examples here:

I've been adding some visual and gameplay improvements to my superscaler shooter, but the most noticeable change is that you can hear stuff now. All sound effects were made with Furnace tracker. (Video quality might be messy in the first seconds). #GameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt #GameMaker

Update to my "superscaler style" shooter, I've implemented analog controls, player's health, and animations for losing a life and respawning. I've temporarily simpified the decoration so I don't destroy the video bitrate lol. #GameDev #IndieDev #PixelArt #GameMaker #ScreenshotSaturday
