Artwork pipeline is in. Our GameKit tool now handles validation, optimization and export per system — tile limits, palette rules and formats all applied automatically. #nesdev #gbdev #segadev #homebrew

Building our own tooling to manage game assets across NES, Super NES, Game Boy, SMS/GG and Genesis. First up: sound effect authoring for NES and Master System, and NES music playback with FamiStudio FMS support. #nesdev #chiptune #homebrew #gamedev

First draft of the title screen music for Alpha Pairs (NES). Just a little DPCM left to sprinkle in. Next up: getting the character to dance to it. #nesdev #chiptune #homebrew

Early development test: Alpha Pairs running on NES, SNES, Genesis, Game Gear and Game Boy. Same game, five sets of hardware constraints — still lots to build. (Master System works too, just didn't make the video.) #nesdev #gbdev #segadev #homebrew

Alpha Pairs is coming to NES, Game Boy, SNES, Master System, Genesis, Game Gear, iOS, Android, Mac and PC. One palette strategy, ten platforms. High-color platforms use a closest-match index. NES, Game Boy and SMS are mapped by hand. Anyone shipped across this range? #nesdev #gbdev #segadev

Two more platforms confirmed: Alpha Pairs is now targeting Game Boy and Game Gear alongside NES. Updates coming as we go. @krikzz.bsky.social flashcarts have made testing ROM builds so convenient. #nesdev #gameboydev #gamegeardev #homebrew #retro

Homebrew is coming to the Ultimate Game Guide app, so collectors can finally catalogue their physical homebrew games alongside everything else. If you're a #nesdev with a physical NES game out there, send us a DM to get it listed. The listing can include a link to purchase the game as well.

It has been an exciting first week of #nesdev. We're looking forward to sharing more progress. The battle of the day was the smooth curtain animation via MMC3 IRQ as well as getting our logo perfect with some background tile + sprite overlay tricks.

Alpha Pairs for the NES is coming along nicely. I just realized today that my EverDrive cart had a USB port for debugging. It works flawlessly! Stay tuned for development updates. #nesdev #gamedev
