somewhat comforting to see that even the talented Sonic Team also had #gamedev bugs to fix...

Juicy! And the music is appealing ... Took me a while to understand the how and why of color swapping ... but then it's just a playthrough video, not an in-hand experience.

I've been toying with paged.js to format my #blogpress in progress into printable pages. It worked quite well, but I could use a sort of "preview" while in-browser. A few CSS changes could provide that.

I have to admit that known character attract the eye. I might not have turned such a @maliki.com fan if she hadn't featured 3rd-party characters (essentially fanart) as avatar within her own comics. maliki.com/en/strips/fi...

Awesome that the SNES was already capable of handling the many colors of Sonic Mania !

A Microsoft executive called “an astonishing theft of unprecedented proportions,” and the “largest theft of labor in human history.” An internal Microsoft document said generative AI products have created a “doom loop” that is killing “the entire web.” www.404media.co/doom-loop-op...

Got to find where in #SuperMarioWorld this pipe is. It seems easy to pull off, but for some reason, I had to jump out of Yoshi to make it through and it felt unfair.

PypeBros @pypebros.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

A new NintendoOnline free pass allowed me to play some #SuperMarioWorld again lately. I found myself in a strange state where playing level "Yoshi Island 2" feels cozy and soul-healing, but the rest of the game ... I'm glad to give it a try, but I wouldn't *pay* to play it. ^^"

Someone at the last playtesting said from my ongoing work "it doesn't look like solo-dev at all!". I indeed got much constructive criticism over the near-20 years the project has gone through. Time for a #HowItStarted vs #HowItIsGoing ? (2007) -- (2026)

Wanted to make Scorpeye walk a bit more dynamic, but now I have the feeling that it's _trotting_ on its way back T_T. #ScreenshotSaturday #InfinitePyramid

been studying www.youtube.com/watch?v=In_m... in an attempt to improve the animation of my own "scorpeye" walk ... But only the recent Link's Awakening on Switch did have something that could be reused.

really love the artwork style. A reference for #C64 #pixelstudy. Even wondering what #RickDangerous would have looked like with that style...

I should definitely advertise #LevelEditorForDS #SpriteEditorForDS and #AnimEditorForDS with something like that :P

Level design is my passion, so even with #Obsidian I always enjoy doing most of my level design on a physical wall with pen and paper. ദ്ദി(•̀ ᴗ - ) I hope they can fit inside the CD with 700 MB!! Tomorrow I'll check the prototype's size without textures. #GameDev #GameDesign #LevelDesign #IndieDev

I can definitely feel this. I've spent a significant amount of time populating sylvainhb.blogspot.com/search/label... with "studies" of platformers I liked to see how the level were crafted -- which always felt like black magic to me.

I’ve spent months handcrafting this huge fantasy weapon SFX pack and I'm so happy how it turned out! ⚔️ 250+ sounds for swords, axes, knives, bows, crossbows, whips & loads more, AND a bunch of juicy impacts! I'm so proud of this one. 😊 Oh, and it’s 50% off!! 🥳
