On this day today, Chrono Trigger was released for the SNES in the U.S. As blasphemous as this sounds, I was never a huge fan of the game 😅 But I drew this Chrono chibi for a charm a couple of years ago and found it cute! #retrogaming #chronotrigger #jrpg #fanart

Mirai Ninja on top, Splatterhouse on the bottom. The "New Wave" of Namco arcade games, apparently.

Given that Sega is celebrating Sonic the Hedgehog's 35th birthday, I felt it was only fair to show the Sonic easter egg we hid away in Chords. #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive #IndieDev #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday #SonicTheHedgehog

Translations took 250 KB 😆 This is either bad or good news, depending on how you look at it. I've been racking my brain about how to save space, but it's increasingly apparent that Chords will need 64 MEG. Unless I cut back on music & SFX. #segagenesis #megadrive #gamedev

I've been working so hard to get multi lauguage support into Chords and I think I've cracked it. These shots were taken before a Portuguese character update. Just the translations to go! French, German, Spanish and Portuguese. #segagenesis #megadrive #gamedev #indiedev

Another polished shadow/highlight effect we're using in Chords. No context and the same background as before. So spoiler free 😉 It's ironic that my Patreons pay to support the project and basically have the plot ruined for them! #segagenesis #megadrive #indiedev #gamedev #sega

So here's a random one to throw out there. Generally how do people hire anime voice artists for work? 😅 If you know any maybe tag them here! I'd really like to know how I go about it for future reference *cough* Chords *cough*

If you haven’t reposted this yet, please get your butt into gear and help us spread it far and wide. I need this game to break out beyond my little follow circle. Also still waiting for the day it gets big enough that @hideokojima.bsky.kojimaproductions.jp drops a comment 😉

I just finished updating the latest version of Chords with Vic's Sega CD Fusion Driver. It's now doing both streaming PCM speech and background music and it seems pretty good if you ask me. More devs should really use this! #gamedev #indiedev #sega #segagenesis #megadrive

I don’t think words can express how proud I am of how far we’ve come with this little game. There’s still a long road ahead, but with every step we take the love and support we receive grows. I can’t wait for the day we get Chords out on cartridge and on Steam. ❤️ #SegaGenesis #megadrive #indiedev
