By the way, Tofu Engine already supports Mode7-like transformations when moving data canvas-to-canvas. However, Copperlist-like transfer is more efficient for a lot of effects. #gamedev #indiedev #gameengine

One of the (IMO) coolest features of my game engine (namely Tofu Engine) is a copperlist-like programmable cancas-to-vram transfer. Now, I'm adding this feature also to canvas-to-canvas transfer. This will unlock a lot of cool effects! #gamedev #indiedev #gameengine

I know that I'm totally biased, but when working to my game-engine listening to SID music just make the perfect background music... ... what are you preferred artists/tunes of the era? #gamedev #indiedev #chiptune

Glorious, as usual. #indiedev #demoscene #retrocoding

Almost ready with the vector class in my game engine, fixed here and that, also to optimize the operations. One more step done! I was working on the software renderer and I needed to have a break... :) #gamedev #indiedev #gameengine

A piece of ancient gaming history: such great memories of those times! :D #gaming #gamedev #retrogaming

Playing "Dave The Diver"... gosh, it's so much fun! :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Is fixed-point math still worth and useful in 2026? Not as a geneal purpose approach, but when used in some specific (restricted) contexts... definitely yes. Devlog in the making on how I reconsidered its use in my game engine. #gamedev #indiedev #gameengine

I'm currently playing Stellar Blade. Honestly, I nice game, very polished and classy. The Nier: Automata vibes are really nice (I loved Nier, back them). However, the gameplay is so dull... #gaming #stellarblade

I've optimize (yet again) my game-engine's roto-scaler. I'm baffled. Apparently very few information exist online on incremental inverse mapping and half-extent based AABB compuation. Or I'm simply at finding any of it! :D Time for a new devlog... #gamedev #gameengine #gamemath

It's always such a fun to watch someone dissecting how old-school games were implemented. :) #gamedev #retrogame #amiga

Reworking yet another piece of Tofu Engine. The Rotoscaler was implemented with a (partially optimized) per-pixel explicit inverse tranformation from the target buffer to the source one. Time to implement the incremental version I have in mind since a while... :) #gamedev #indiedev #gameengine

I made a game in 3 days for #ldjam Fling a bat and explore levels using echolocation. Like billiards but weird. Let me know how it plays for you? Thank you! castpixel.itch.io/ping

Working on a SID chip emulator, inspired by Nuked-OPN2 ym3438... just for fun, this is something I wanted to do since... ever. It occurred to me that probably already exists something similar out there. :P Well, let's ear how it works in my game engine... #gamedev #indiedev

She worked for WB Games... that's so cool! ( and the pixel-art is awesome, as usual )

Truly awesome art, here... #pixelart #gameart #gamedev

I truly hope in a future where the reference platform for gaming is Linux... ... and I try and contribute with my tiny game engine, which is a multiplatform Linux-first project. #gamedev #indiedev #gamingonlinux

This is what I personally consider Amiga's swan song. One of the last games I played before leaving the platform for good. Possibly the best shooter. #amiga #shmup #retrogaming

Anybody aware of a chiptune-like synth library? Something like DuinoTune/tinytune but still supported or more recent? #gamedev #indiedev #chiptune

Showcasing my phone guitar instrument Android app - midi out to your favorite DAW - auto chords (open/ barre/ power/ slash) - looper! - full pedal FX chain - 3 amp cabs - lefty mode,of course - ultra-low latency - very playable for live performing - hex keyboard out next week! #indiedev

Over the course of the last two months, I reworked my game-engine's rendering/graphics sub-system. I took notes during the process. Now the not-so-easy task to reorganize them and put it together... 😅 A devlog will follow soon enough. I hope. 😆 #gamedev #indiedev #gamenegine

Drop a teacher.

I need some help from my fellow Pico-8 users out there. Regarding `pal()` and `palt()`, in what order are they conceptually applied? Is transparency applied to the original pixel color, or to the remapped one? #pico8 #indiedev #gamedev

Another Single from Reformation 5: The Palace Main Theme

Matt Gray has released another single from his upcoming Reformation 5 album: the main theme of The Palace level from The Last Ninja. Although Matt has already tackled this tune on his Reformation 3 album, he has reworked it significantly. It's availabe now on Bandcamp.

So... ... texture double-buffering and PBO ring implemented. The upload and draw phases of the rendering system are as detached as possible (for now). Now, on to reworking the transparency management to improve performance even more. #gamedev #indiedev #gamengine

Adding both texture double (or triple) buffering AND a decoupling PBOs ring-buffer has proved simpler than expected. No longer CPU x GPU stalls! Yatta! :) #gamedev #indiedev #gameengine
