In light of what I posted earlier, I want to encourage others to share retro translations and homebrew that do not use the slop machines. Saturn translations I recommend: Silhouette Mirage Grandia Sakura Wars 1 and 2 Linkle Liver Story Mobile Suit Gundam Bulk Slash The various Shining Force games

Today, I decided to dump all my thoughts about A.I. infecting the retro and Saturn scene into one cohesive article. In short, I am certifiably sick of this.

Someone at Nintendo saw the Doom 2016 trailer and said "we should make our space marine do that"

Getting damaged by a cultist that happens to tepelort under your feet feels awful every time... so I fixed it. Now the two of you swap positions! This can cover quite some distance, and is delightfully chaotic. #gamedev #nes #indie

I've been working on the title screen for our game lately just for fun. In order to not look like an ordinary #nes game, the idea here is to simulate two background layers where one layer is scrolling. I think it turned out pretty decent. Still WIP with the logo etc. #nesdev #gamedev #indiedev

There is a good reason why Ness's father continually asks him to take breaks from playing video games. Earthbound still continues to be the best for the reason of knowing who and what its purpose is for.

Yo, can anyone help a guy out - a long time ago @anamanaguchi.bsky.social put out a summer mixtape which featured some songs - I know Shirobon was on it and a remix of Triangle. Would love to hear it again.

@mteegfx.com was kind enough to show me a few WIPs of his work and I gotta say this is one of the coolest things. It's been a personal goal of mine to get him to draw something for a project of mine, and this is close enough! Love this concept and can't wait to see all the others.

Nick is doing something special with these. You will relearn what you thought was true about various pieces of video game history. I cannot recommend this and any of his other documentary pieces more highly. Please please please take the time to watch and support him.

We are getting very close to launching this Kickstarter. Complete honesty, I'm terrified. I've poured a lot of emotion and time into this project despite its genre. I want you guys to see that very badly. I hope you'll enjoy! #nesdev #biocreeps #nes

A shameless rip-off of the mechanic in Curses n Chaos, but I had to make it so players can dance for money.

This screen was looking a bit "lifeless" so I added a friend! This is Chomp Champ's bouncing germ time. Music by Ominous Pigeon Master and has nothing to do with the game, ok? :D #nesdev

Along with my game, I've also worked on rebranding and giving new life to 6502 Collective. Hopefully we live up to its legacy!

Did you know? Dizzy Sheep Disaster: EX for the Nintendo E-Reader only has 16kb of program code space- that’s half of Super Mario Bros! The game has to store some of its level data as graphics just to fit! #gba #nesdev #homebrew

I finally got some mock samples made of my boxes and labels for BioCreeps. Had a little emotional moment I wasn't expecting while holding them. Although that cart is empty, everything felt much more real. I'm so excited to get this out, you guys #nes #nesdev #biocreeps #indiedev

Creeps wears a lot of its influences on its sleeve, frankly. These particular enemies are inspired by a floating enemy in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 as well as a particular cow in Super Bat Puncher. #nesdev #nes #biocreeps

I’ve been teasing it for a bit, but here’s the official word: Dizzy Sheep Disaster: Ex is going on sale on April 14th! I’ll have around 100 copies for sale through an online store to start. Stay tuned to get your copy of the game for your Nintendo e-reader and the web! #gamedev #homebrew

I've adjusted the sound for the crates item to be less chirpy. I think this is a good enough compromise to not get annoying??? #nesdev #nes #biocreeps

All of the bosses in BioCreeps have unique intros. I think they're all pretty good, but zone 1 is probably still my favorite. #nesdev #nes #indiedev #biocreeps
