This is TANGLEWOOD, my cinematic puzzle platforming game for the SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive. It's available on physical cartridge or emulated versions from Steam/GOG. It was written in 68k assembly language using original SEGA development tools! www.tanglewoodgame.com #retro #gamedev #megadrive

Spent three days trying to come up with a tidy C++ factory system, but ended up with a monument to compromise full of sloppy macros. It is the year of our Lord 2026, where's type reflection? Why can't the linker instantiate globals inside a static library? Why does this language still exist?

My good friend is making "a comfy 16-bit gamedev simulator" and would appreciate some shares and wishlists if that sounds like your sort of thing. Cheers! store.steampowered.com/app/4828200/...

Were looking for a senior graphics programmer, mainly for shader-side effects work. Need good maths and PBR knowledge. Raytracing experience a bonus. apply.workable.com/double-eleve...

@moonbase.lgbt hey friend, read a while back you were on the hunt for remote C++ positions, still looking? We need a shader-side maths pro, mainly PBR work.

We're looking for a Principal Graphics Programmer! double11.com/vacancies/

A very happy birthday to TANGLEWOOD, one of the first "modern retro" indie games we published on Evercade, and one half of the excellent Xeno Crisis/Tanglewood cartridge for the platform! Tanglewood first released on this day in 2018.

I cannot understate the mental health benefits of taking a break from social media. Still alive. Still working on Tanglewood for Switch. Here's some cats.

Please welcome a new member to the family. It's a Psy-Q Mega Drive devkit, something I've been after for the best part of a decade. I've never seen one boxed before, and I've certainly never seen one with all of the listed package contents. ISA card, disks, manuals, cables, tech bulletins.

Received a lovely gift this morning

Won a few awards in my time but none mean more to me than this stupid thing. Awarded to me by the sound design team at Traveler's Tales, because I went behind the producer's back and fixed some audio problems.

"Single Sign-on" sure except every service has a different system and they're all a pain to use and there's a million redirects before you get to where you want to go and you actually sign in 30 times a day. Today's frustration post brought to you by Microsoft and Atlassian.

alternate social media series i did a while ago. gonna start reposting work on here

Some FamiCube concepts from a while back.

Hello world! My new album LAZARUS is OUT NOW! 🔊 freezedream.bandcamp.com/album/lazarus

The latest installment of "I am a grown-ass adult and I can buy what I want." I'm gonna Mad Max the *shit* out of this thing.

Our 4 megabit #NES cartridge is nearly full! Our programmer is heroically squeezing in space for the final code and gfx. Seeking more #indiegame and #homebrew starter packs to join! @gamemistress.bsky.social @rikoclon.bsky.social @pearacidicgames.com @bigevilboss.bsky.social @adam16bit.bsky.social

Hello new users from Twitter! I'm Matt, I work with a tiny team of #indiedevs on an #indiegame called Chords Chords is a Konami Snatcher #anime inspired #adventuregames set in a post Cyberpunk world. #gamedev #segagenesis #megadrive #sega

This is nuts. A web-based IDE for 8-bit games development, with integrated C compiler, emulator, and *source level debugger*. It all just works. 8bitworkshop.com/v3.12.0/?pla... #retro #gamedev

The next 3 articles in my CPU rasterizer tutorial series are done! These are all about adding full 3D support, with perspective projection, perspective interpolation, triangle clipping, and a depth buffer. lisyarus.github.io/blog/posts/i...

"Where Do You Want to Go Today?" Microsoft rolls out the hype train in the Sampler section of the Windows 95 disc, blasting you with multimedia vibes. The days of the DOS prompt are over. It's time to open some Windows and let the future in.

bringing back this old banger pixelart / gamedev post from almost a decade ago: A visual representation of how high 2:1 isometric blocks should be

We are hiring at Nixxes for graphics and optimisation programmers. In my biased opinion we're a great bunch and the graphics/optimisation team is full of talented and caring people. We care about one another, the players and the games. Sounds trite, but it's true ❤️ #gamejobs www.nixxes.com/jobs/

What got you into #gamedev ? The ZX Spectrum +2 and its accessible BASIC backed by a comprehensive manual is where I started. Then the copious type-in listings from magazines and library books. STOS the Game Creator made me believe I could make viable games. Turbo Pascal improved my coding skills.

@carina.delachancla.com YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thanks for the invite! I finally signed up 😂

Interesting bug. 'const' is not just syntax sugar, the compiler may take it as a hint to hardcode any references to it and will not allocate space for it within the .data section. Address of "value2" (non-existent) is actually address of value3, then we trash 4 bytes of memory.

Hello, World! It's cool to see so many rendering programmers here already! As a self-introduction and for those that haven't seen it on Twitter already, here's the talk that I did earlier this year at Digital Dragons re: the GPU-driven rendering in AW2! www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtX7...

does everybody know about my favorite website, the embroidery tips page that forgot to close its <h3> tags

I've followed every graphics programmer on the planet in an attempt to curate my timeline, so of course now it's just full of cats. No complaints.

What got you into #gamedev? Half-Life. Literally just Half-Life.

What's the best-looking gaming device? And why is it the Sony MSX2 HitBit F1XD?

Shrine to the holy trinity.

I made a pixel art upscaling/rotation algorithm called cleanEdge! It makes rotating pixel art as clean as possible torcado.com/cleanEdge I made a tool for it too! drop your sprites in and get some nice rotated or upscaled versions :)

Unprocessed! In a tiny, tiny venue. #djent

Part 1 of #UK #Gamedev ( bsky.app/starter-pack...) is full! We start on Part 2! I'll remove a couple of dupes we have in Pt.1 there when we have the numbers build :)

I'm making a Sci-Fi game with huge pixel art objects: Ancient computers, mutated plants and rusty pipes mostly. #pixelart #gamedev
