Wireframe mode ran at 20 FPS, solid at 60 FPS. On the DS. 🤯 Spent the night counting ARM9 cycles to figure out why a "simpler" visualization was 3x slower than full rendering. Turns out it's not the GPU. 🧵 Thread below or read the full breakdown: tprrt.tupi.fr/nds-wirefram... #gameDev #indiedev

Why shouldn’t we be able to pass on a purchased game as other cultural products? - We want physical games, not just installation files. We want to be able to share them, and play them again years from now. - We want to buy digital games rather than rent them. #StopKillingGames #ConsumerRights

Ported my (side project) game engine to the GBA's FPU-less ARM7TDMI and measured cycle counts on fixed-point math, LUT sin/cos, fast inverse sqrt, and two 'obviously correct' optimizations that turned out as regressions. tprrt.tupi.fr/gba-performa... #GameDev #GBA

Now is the perfect moment to remind you that a long time ago I made character sprites for almost every boss from Cuphead. I started with the main character sprites and used their size as reference to make the rest. The bosses turned out to be massive. #pixelart
