It's already been a year since the last tech demo of The Weave! @haddhar.bsky.social and I (@ganso.eurosky.social) are now working with @playonretro.bsky.social on Mega Red Planet, but I found some time to update it 😊 www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-oH...

Estoy muy contento de poder anunciar mi incorporación como músico al proyecto de Mega Red Planet, colaborando junto con mi colega Javi Prieto, como parte del equipo @geesebumpsgames.bsky.social Gracias por la confianza que está poniendo @playonretro.bsky.social en Javi y ahora en mi #MegaRedPlanet

Can you believe it’s only been a few months? This was my very first test for Mega Red Planet, porting the first 5 screens of the Raspberry Pi version to the Mega Drive back in February 👇

Finally getting to show off some WIP footage of the new game I'm developing with @playonretro.bsky.social! Hope you all like it! #MegaDrive #SegaGenesis #RetroGaming #Homebrew #IndieDev #16bit

We are SO BACK! 🚀 If I’ve been quiet about The Weave, it’s because I’m developing the Mega Drive remake of Red Planet for @playonretro.bsky.social Yes, the classic title from Spectrum, CPC, and Raspberry/Windows is coming to SEGA! Here is some fresh gameplay from the first part

Still kicking on The Weave! After 6+ months juggling projects like Sleigh Chase & @gamerconfamilia.bsky.social, "talkie version" of the tech demo, with Animalese-style voices, is released Check the full devlog: geese-bumps.itch.io/the-weave/de... #MegaDrive #IndieDev #RetroGaming #SegaGenesis

The Weave... Talkie!

We’ve published the English version of the Sleigh Chase devlog 🙂 It’s a practical, open-source guide for retro developers on how to speed up game development using OpenAI Codex as a copilot All code, assets, and resources are fully open source geese-bumps.itch.io/sleigh-chase...

¿Habéis probado Sleigh Chase, nuestro juego navideño para Megadrive? Es simple, simpático, y se termina en cinco o diez minutos si le coges mínimamente el truco, así que es la excusa perfecta para desempolvar la Mega y jugar con los peques 😃 geese-bumps.itch.io/sleigh-chase

The Weave now has three distinct Animal Crossing-style voices that smoothly adapt to both Spanish and English text. What do you think? Thanks @zxprojects.bsky.social for your tips 😉 #IndieGameDev #MegaDriveDev #RetroGaming #GameDev #Homebrew

I’m progressing on text presentation: each character now has its own “voice,” with gibberish in the style of Animal Crossing or Sims. Voices are pregenerated using Google Text to Speech and preprocessed into short syllables that play synced with the on-screen text (work in progress)

I'm alive! After the last public beta I took a break… and made the mistake of buying Baldur’s Gate 3. But I’m finally back! Today’s update adds a small text flash effect (you can speed it up by pressing A)

🎉 Characters can now move at fractional speeds! The hero walks at 1.5x speed, and the mother at 0.75x. Sounds trivial, right? Well, I had to rewrite ALL the movement code to use non-integer types. It nearly killed me 😵‍💫

✨ New technical demo is out! ✨ After 6 months of work, I can finally show you the latest progress on The Weave! 🎮 Completely rewritten engine 🎨 All graphics and animations redrawn by hand, pixel by pixel www.youtube.com/watch?v=QK3T...

The Weave - Tech Demo walkthrough (june 2025)

✅ Dual color font support! Almost everything ready for a new tech demo release with almost the brand new graphics 😎

✅ Almost all graphics have been redrawn since the last demo ✅ Almost all the code has been rewritten from scratch (continued in the next post) #IndieGameDev #MegaDriveDev #RetroGaming #GameDev #HomebrewGames

Finally done refactoring the entire game code (roughly 70%!) 🎉 New structures, cleaner & more robust functions — yet simple and easy to manage. Combat is working again, with new features and lots of bugs squashed #gamedev #retrodev #homebrew #SegaMegadrive #SegaGenesis #Loom

Waiting for the Retro Gamer magazine Issue 272 to come home 🥰 It's been a long way since the first time my name was in a Magazine, in Micro Hobby Issue 166 in 1985, four decades ago

I haven't forgotten about you! The next version of the tech demo will be an almost complete overhaul of the entire visual aspect, with new graphics and lots of new animations. Please be patient! 😉

Testing animations for the Weavers Ghosts

There’s little time left until issue #005 of @brewotaku.bsky.social is released, where my small BASIC project for the ZX Spectrum, ZXD, will have its own little space. Many thanks for the review! 😉

First test of the new hand-pixeled graphics for the introduction scene, now running on the game engine

Finally back to pixel art after two tough weeks since I installed Civilization VII and ran out of free time. It's about time to replace the remaining AI placeholders.

✅ Now our forest also has both background and foreground items
