I'm still working on the final touches to Razing Core before testing. Today I added support for Mega Drive/Genesis controllers, including alt-fire (you can use A/B or B/C for 1/2, and also X/Y/Z for bombing) and Start button for pause! #mastersystem #homebrew
BadComputer@badcomputer.bsky.social · last wk.I've added more debug options to Razing Core which can be used for practicing. These options are hidden by default but are easy to reveal. #homebrew #mastersystem
I spent quite a long time on the beaches and waves in Thunder Helix. I think they turned out rather well. 🚁 🌊 #gamedev #lowpoly #pixelart store.steampowered.com/app/1906230/...
Here's my very first game for the SEGA Master System, Hexapawn. It was entirely develoed by me in C using devkitSMS. I learned a lot while doing it and I hope to do some more games in the near future. chirinea.itch.io/hexapawn

With some space left on the ROM I've added a ship to the title screen and some other nice surprises throughout the game. #mastersystem #homebrew

In the early 90s, Taito worked several times with illustrator and background artist Tomoaki Okada / 岡田有章 from the design studio Mecaman (known for their work on Gundam, Nausicäa, Speed Racer, etc.). _Rayforce / Galactic Attack _Gun Force (Master System version) _Darius Force (SFC) _Cyber Sterra 1/3
Someone asked me why Razing Core is not on other retro platforms. The game design and it's identity is heavily tied to the Master System limitations, it wouldn't make sense on the Mega Drive. I'm not against multiplatform games but I would prefer to make a new game for the MD instead.
Working on the demonstration screen today since it hadn't been updated for a while. #mastersystem #homebrew
Both Pele games finished and now to play something a bit more to my taste. Mega Drive Odyssey 284: Arrow Flash (1990) Starting now.... www.twitch.tv/hystericmoon_
Apart from the obvious polishing tasks, my theory on why the final 10% of a project feels like 90% is because you have to revisit all those minor TODOs you accumulated. Next time I'll try to avoid stacking up minor TODOs ✍️
The intro and outro are now complete! I now need to revisit the todo list (which is as long as my arm) before testing can begin. #mastersystem #homebrew

This week I've been working on the core (melee) weapon. It's now limited use and gives a score bonus for destroying an enemy. It feels more balanced but satisfying to use I think. #mastersystem #homebrew

The final boss is done! 🥳 I'm now working on the outro/credits, and of course after that begins play testing. #mastersystem #homebrew
BadComputer@badcomputer.bsky.social · last mo.I started working on Razing Core in March last year and now 7 stages later I'm working on the final boss. I've enjoyed all of it and I hope you will enjoy playing it! #homebrew #mastersystem
Besides the nostalgia of making SMS games I like the fact that retro console games are now almost more cross platform than anything else. Thanks to the popularity of emulators, FPGA, handhelds, RPi etc, you can play an SMS game on almost anything. 👍 #homebrew #mastersystem
In a somewhat related way, you should have a similar aim when collecting physical games. As a recovering collector, it can be so easy to start collecting what you like then creep into buying anything you don't own, just for the thrill. Now you have 100 bad games you'll never play.
Sasha's Retrobytes 🏳️⚧️@sharkabytes.bsky.social · last mo.So important so you don't spend more time going up n down rom lists than you do playing. If you'd find it difficult to curate manually, the Smokemonster/Everdrive packs with themed folder organization (best of homebrew, deep cut Japanese, top translated, 100 best insert genre etc) are a way to go.
SEGA Master System outlives another console. (I make SMS games and will continue to release them on a cartridge, in a box, with a manual).
Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles
