YOU LOST MY LEVELS?!

Cartoon drawing of Mario in Super Mario Bros. The Lost Levels but it's Mr. Dink in the "YOU BROKE MY GRILL?!" scene from Doug

PSA: If you have graphical corruption issues with your FDS (Varies per game as it depends on bus activity, but it's always noticeable in Kineko) I can confirm that adding resistors to the data lines as per this page (consolemods.org/wiki/NES:Fam...) works perfectly! (I didn't use an array xD)

Saw this posted to the @twincitiesgeek.com FB page and had to pass it on. For me it's clearly "1989," no contest.

You can only play one year's games from the 80's, which are you spending your quarters on?

1980: Pac-Man, Defender, Missile Command
1981: Donkey Kong, Galaga, Frogger
1982: Ms. Pac-Man, Pole Position, Tron
1983: Dragon's Lair, Mario Bros., Star Wars
1984: Punch-Out!!, Track & Field, Marble Madness
1985: Hang-On, Gauntlet, Ghost 'N Goblins
1986: Out Run, Arkanoid, Rampage
1987: Double Dragon, Shinobi, Operation Wolf
1988: Robocop, Narc, Bad Dudes
1989: Final Fight, TMNT, Golden Axe

I'm going to tell you how as a single dev I used technology to get high quality illustrations for my Game Boy game, ESPecial Jobs: I did this quick sketch and just from it I got this amazing output. Follow the thread to see how. 1/3

It's terrible when a game trying to be retro is not era correct and mixes up pixel art of different resolutions...

We are still adding content for the game but for now I want to present you the first official illustration of Isa's pretty much infallible sidekick: Sia! Drawn by the awesome @getinthegustaff.bsky.social! #gamedev #indiedev #homebrew #gameboy #retrogaming

Nobody prepares you to draw a 8x8 star centered in a 16x16 tile. 😢

Miguel Ángel @zurashu.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Little known fact: Analyzing SMB ROM it can be seen that due graphics ROM limitation there is some tile data that is used twice, only changing it's palette to green. Can you guess before seeing the answer? Yes! The clouds and Luigi's brain use the same tile data!

It would be interesting a JAM to take games or genres one hates and try to make your own interpretation in an attempt to avoid what you don't like about it. I'm not sure what would I choose but mainly from childhood trauma Lode Runner is a big candidate.

I wonder if any of the astronauts are of the type of standing up the moment the capsule made splash down.

I need your opinion. Would you rather have the delimited pixels shader turned on by default or not? (This is for the PC and consoles release obviously) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #homebrew #gameboy #retrogaming

I never shared the uncropped art I did of Isa from the new GB Color game, ESPecial Jobs! If y'all haven't checked it out, it recently got an update with Spanish/Portuguese support, and some new tunes. Play the heck out of this game so I can draw more characters! 😜💖 zurashu.itch.io/especial-jobs

You people won't believe me, but around a couple of weeks ago I've been itching to start a new game of DQ Builders 2, and the out of the blue surprise that this game I've been ignoring since announcement is a DQ Builders with Pokemon has been a big warm hug to my heart at this moment.

Infinite congratulations @ocornut.bsky.social. Out of the dev sphere I don't know if people know how widespread is ImGui for all kinds of projects. And that it's because it's a joy to use for quickly adding UI to anything. And that's because Omar takes it very seriously to keep it that way. Thanks!
