From time to time, I see people claiming the combined power of the Sega 32X and Sega CD could have taken on the PlayStation and Saturn in the 32-bit generation. Unfortunately, it's a bit like comparing a 386-era PC to a pair of early Pentium-class machines.
Chords will very likely have covers of real band tracks as part of the OST😄 See what you make of this one! Great cover by @superjet-spade.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGLA...

Over the weekend, I worked on some more shadow/highlight effects in Chords Act 2. #gamedev #indiedev #segageneis #segamegadrive #sgdk
Samurai Pizza Cats! Coming to Blu-ray from gorgeously remastered film & recreated titling. The Japanese version subbed will come later. You thought another company had it? Great timing for their convention banner that isn't for Blu-rays kept this one secret.
Mail time! @matteusbeus.bsky.social sent me some merch for our #SegaMegaDrive game #Chords. It‘s cool acrylic standees of the game‘s mascot Scamp and his counterpart Champ, and a little info card. Highly sought after relics in a few years for sure! #gamedev #indiegamedev #retrogaming #vndev
I've gotta say I'm actually quite intrigued by the news that Bananaman is getting a graphic novel 😆

I have a strange regret that I never played Final Fantasy X back in the day. No idea why! I love the Battle Theme though ha!
A new video! Hot off the heels of Marky Mark & the Funky Bunch, two new #MegaCD PAL conversions arrive with both the JRPGs Vay & Popful Mail now converted. Video description for how to obtain and enjoy thanks to @johnbunday.bsky.social for the conversion and playtest by me. youtu.be/NYf37hx8qxQ?...

The whole Count Binface conversation on @digitalfoundry.bsky.social made me ponder if we need a UK Politics Simulator 😆 Then I went on Steam and found out someone's developing one! store.steampowered.com/app/4119600/...

Sad about Sony ditching discs? Well, now is the time to get yourself a Sega Mega Drive! The homebrew market is buzzing right now with increasing numbers of releases! You probably think I'm joking, but screw the concept of owning nothing 😀 #Sega #IndieDev #GameDev #SegaGenesis #SegaMegaDrive

Hidden easter eggs in indie retro games are the best. Such a fun nod to the classic era.

Back in 2004 I wrote an online MMRPG based on Shining Force 2. I presented it at the graduate showcase and Microsoft awarded it a runner up prize. I'd hoped it would result in me getting a job in the games industry alas it didn't 😅

Ok. This will explain what happened, why, and what I have done to make sure it (probably) wont ever happen again.

Speaking of wolfenstein and ray casting sharing this excellent lynx project again, now with video!! Unfortunately had to crop it a bit because bluesky *still* thinks it's too tall. This is Senoe by @108stars-pixelart.bsky.social and Co!
Brandon Sheffield@brandon.insertcredit.com · 2y agoNew FPS called Senoe in the works for Atari Lynx, using the system in portrait mode. Has a really good look, working in half the Lynx's resolution and doubling it. (bluesky won't share the video because it's too tall, so check the atariage forum post forums.atariage.com/topic/374189...)
