The giant hammer is immediately recognizable and works perfectly as a smasher. Unsure I'd have understood that "stop" is a switch, though.

I thought the SMW circling ghosts were fun before because they were not all the same, but *this* is bringing "they have different identities" to a new level ^_^. Congrats !

Now you made me want to play a game where you move around as if you were Jamiroquoi :P

He did a #pixelart stunning job! Who in #gamedev needs some stunning job done ?

These eyes! You made them look wonderful. Stunning work on the colors and light they shine.

It's the era where the top-talented people were available for hire because everyone else had turned to 3D. And it's a shame Nintendo came up with washed-up, squashed ports of their games on the device T_T (sylvainhb.blogspot.com/2010/11/vsne...) Which one is depicted here ? Mystic Quest remaster?

That will be a great news for physical release lovers! I don't mind downloading games onto SD card for my switch, personally, I did see a switch box, right ? #SiJavaisUneSwitch I could play it ... wait ... I *do* have a Switch :-D

the framing of the scene is just brilliant!

PypeBros @pypebros.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
if it serves the plot, it's all fine ^_^ I guess you know all there's to know about Kirby's Dreamland and the dance animations after Boss battles ;)

PypeBros @pypebros.bsky.social · 06/10/2026
The dance is nice, but doesn't it imply that your copies remain trapped into that room ? I'd propose instead that they curl around as if going to sleep and fade away as if they were ghosts. [v] animation [v] completion [v] cuteness

Hello all. Not posting much about gamedev lately, because I've reached the point where my twitter-to-html converter is convincing and I can try to integrate that with my #blogpress output. That give me side-by-side post-and-threads, which is absorbing my attention ^^".

(I know they might not help.) I feel like being yourself is the only way you may eventually find a meaning to your living. Some of my favourite artists sing about trying to "fit the public's expectation" and ending up losing what used to bring soul to their art. I believe them.

Reading that and your previous post (2026.09) remind me of 2 "teacup advice/maxim" - be yourself: everyone else is already taken

confirmed: flicker a bit or have an animation. Just disappearing feels quite odd.

wait ... you mean I never had to zig-zag through those 4x4 blue ball patterns to find the gem ? just catching those on the edge would give me extra points through rings and avoid over-speeding the whole #SonicTheHedgehog special level ? And I've never been told about it ?

or he doesn't want anybody else to play with Toad because he knows they' would have a lesser gameplay experience, so he takes Toad himself to make it unavailable to others :P

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.

When it comes to "ideas", web.archive.org/web/20050930... had quite some ideas that were never used. Maybe @cyborgjeff.bsky.social would be happy to make a NES edit of the tunes he had for the adventure

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...
