We finally finished the last major feature we wanted!! Event debugging & stepping!!! Now you can stop and review execution at specific moments! With the help of detached code, debugging is much easier now! ( •̀_•́ )🔍💻 #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finished the event, script & text search! Now, you search for a specific event or text, and it will show you where it has been used to help with refactors! ( •̀ ω •́ )🔍 #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finished integrating the ROM usage stats! Now, you can see your assets make the ROM bigger and bigger with each game iteration! ( . •́ _ʖ •̀ .) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We can finally show our secret feature! We've been working on a tracker that will be shipped with MD Engine! ヾ(´〇`)ﾉ♪♪♪ It won't be as powerful as Deflemask or Furnace, but it should be capable of doing music composition for most cases! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finished script window detach support! ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ Now you can take advantage of two monitors to script while checking the scene!! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We are finally done with the first two types of slopes!! (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`)(;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) This covers the initial batch, we will be adding more slowly haha. Next would be adding MDSDRV support! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finally finished the plugin support! The idea is, you write some basic C or ASM code, create the event JS file, and it gets called normally! It took a lot of adjustments to properly support it, so hopefully people use it haha! ლ(¯ロ¯"ლ) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We have been making some progress with slopes! Drawing and exporting are finished! Next would be actual collisions (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We finally finished integrating the collision gridding system into MD Engine! It was designed by the awesome @shannonbirt.bsky.social! It helps boost performance tremendously for our current shooter examples! It is also highly configurable! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk

We've released the very first AppImage done with MD Engine, it is for Prisonela MD! If anyone has Linux we would love any possible feedback! https://twoblackcats.itch.io/prisonelamd/devlog/1359347/added-linux-appimage #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart #linux

We've finished the Linux support! You can export as a simple binary or as AppImage now! We're considering support .deb files as well, but we're not sure if it would be worth it... bsky.app/profile/did:...

We finally finished the last text mode we wanted to do! It loads a few of the extended ASCII characters into the VDP to be able to draw most EFIGS language words! (´･ᴗ･ ` ) #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

We finally managed to get back working normally after most of the team was sick during January! (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) We've been working on a new text mode to render EFIGS languages! Hopefully we will finish it today! #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

"WoodFrog" just shared some new gameplay for their upcoming #homebrew game "Till & Hat" A hectic, action platformer for the #SNES, packing some pretty great effects, all without any apparent framedrops #retrogaming #retro #indie #gamedev #indiedev #Nintendo #gaming #retrogames #pixelart #homebrews

We've finally finished supporting Horizontal Blank callbacks!! Changing the palette mid-frame is now possible!! ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ💦 #megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

I don't have much to show *yet* but I've recently been playing around with MDEngine and it's all I can think about at the moment. Incredibly excited for this project @twoblackcats.jp youtu.be/0A1obMBxWPQ?...
