undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I'm glad you like my blog post. It really helps motivate me to make more. 010
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 13/09/2026My main problem is that I take a short break & I end up with multiple days of no snesdev. The daily challenge was an idea to build a habit & stick to it. You're probably right about the sustainability. Maybe I can do a break-day where I play short game instead (& see if I spot anything interesting) 110

I'm working hard to get 60fps and fill this thing with fun possibilities, ready to hit the ground running for SNES Dev Game Jam 2026. 0134
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 05/07/2026I thought I could oscillate between the urgent tasks, it's not viable option. I need to mentally rearrange my project list and figure out what's really critical. This week I'll try 2 urgent tasks at a time (I still need to do non-snesdev tasks) with the occasional small task to break the monotony. 000
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 05/07/2026No snesdev last night, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed. My mental task list has 5 "urgent" and 4 high-priority projects I need to complete before the end of the month. I feel like I'm pulled in multiple directions and stalled out. 100

undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 04/07/2026Last year I offered test jcc816. I was going to spend a week make a small game of peg solitaire with it. The upcoming game jam is a good excuse to make a more complicated game while also exploring the state of snesdev C compilers. 000
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 04/07/2026I'm mostly doing this to trial the various C compilers that have entered the scene in the last few years. I already know how pvsneslib/tcc816 performs. 100

undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 02/07/2026SNESdev daily log 2: Figured out how to write a basic VBlank interrupt in multiple C toolchains. Coded a lag frame counter. Modified my example to change the background colour every second. 120
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I'm doing prepwork for the 2026 snesdev game jam. I want to make a small game in C. To hedge my bets I'm going to be using 4 different C compilers. To help motivate me, I'm restarting my SNESdev daily log. 161
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 02/07/2026I had to write my own ca65 initialisation code and a custom fastrom-lorom linker script. 100

undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 28/06/2026I've published a new version of my homebrew SNES audio driver. The samples tab has been completely redesigned. It can automatically tune newly created samples and allows the user to drag & drop an external file into the samples list. github.com/undisbelieve... #snesdev #spc700 2166
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Progress report: * Audio driver: Finished coding the new samples tab * Exercised more than last week * 2 writing sessions (up from 1 last week) * Encountered lots of distractions (mainly YouTube videos) 010
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I've been rewriting the samples tab in my audio driver's GUI. It's not complete, I've still got restore the sample analyser, restore the test sample widgets and add a few more quality-of-life features. 022
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I'm hoping to spend the first month making a basic game in C and have 2 months left to work on experimenting with polish and graphical effects. 010
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 11/06/2026The 2026 snesdev game jam game will help towards this goal. Graphical effects (particles, multiple-layers, HDMA scanline tricks) are where I'm stuck on my other 2 games. I feel like a small experimental C game will help me overcome my current gamedev block. 151
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 11/06/2026One of my long-term goals is to make a full-sized SNES game. Space Rescue Squad and unnamed-snes-game are a great starting point. I'm not going to abandon them unless something major changes in my life. 121
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I'm not going to be able to work on my Space Rescue Squad SNES game until after the 2026 game jam (November) at the earliest. I'm not in the right headspace to focus on a massive project like at the moment without causing issues elsewhere in my life. 110
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 11/06/2026My goals for the rest of the year have changed: * Improve my writing skills * Document what I'm doing as I do it * Exercise more often * Procrastinate less often (avoid distractions, remember to do urgent tasks, etc) * Add sample swapping to my audio driver * Write a small SNES game in C 320

Reposted by undisbelieverNova @novasquirrel.com · 03/04/2026I took the Super Game Boy code I made for Petal Crash GBC and made a code example that shows off booting custom SNES code and then having the Game Boy side send files to the SNES as needed. Code and ROM (under "releases"): code.novasquirrel.com/Maffi/SuperG... #snesdev #gbdev #gamedev 413843
Reposted by undisbelieverNova @novasquirrel.com · 26/03/2026The Super Game Boy part of my Petal Crash GBC port ran into an obstacle since the original game uses screen shake effects that only apply to one board, and the normal SNES solution (mode 2) would've required giving up either the cool 12x12 blocks or the background. I found a cool creative solution. 25612
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 09/03/2026Creating my own spc700 assembler sounded like a fun side project and will greatly simplify compiling TAD for people who downloaded the source code directly from the release page. Another goal for March is to remove the SDL dependency (used for audio playback) to make compiling TAD easier on windows 010
undisbeliever @undisbeliever.bsky.social · 09/03/2026However, wiz cannot encode the branch if bit set/clear instructions. It also complicates building TAD as you need to import git submodules & compile wiz before running cargo build. It's wonderful for rapid prototyping but now that the driver has matured I want to focus on making TAD easy to compile 100
