maybe somewhat related to last post, do I know any sick pixel artists who are interested in working on an SNES game?

finding artists on social media remains almost impossible because the moment you drop any suggestion to someone that you're looking to hire, dozens of randos/bots come out of the woodwork acting like you were talking to them

I also noticed that the tool in SNES Dezaemon for setting up the background you scroll over during gameplay switches the screen resolution to 512x448, in order to show the tile picker and other UI elements next to a preview of the level without cutting the graphics down. That's a clever use for it.

here's a Sega Genesis tune for @nosebecc.bsky.social's (NSFW!) game, this one's got a lot of MEGA POWER

one of my favorite things to learn about Yoshi's Island was that some of the most impressive effects in the game weren't even done with the Super FX, they were just HDMA trickery. like Salvo the Slime is made of numerous stacked lines pulled from a triangular background image

I've published a new version of my homebrew SNES audio driver. The samples tab has been completely redesigned. It can automatically tune newly created samples and allows the user to drag & drop an external file into the samples list. github.com/undisbelieve... #snesdev #spc700

NES edition! this one was always my favorite

Right here: youtu.be/qnr3hvTVzdw Uses a single HuC6280 and three generic DACs set to 22.5kHz to match how I envisioned this fictional sound system back in 2018.

using up to 4 channels for multiphonics in this segment, with up to 3 notes per-channel, that means to do this part with only one note per-channel you would need up to 11 channels to do this...which is almost 2x what the PCE actually has!

level 3 of Alter Ego for the PC Engine port that never was, new twist on an old classic at 0:47

had fun with the harmonies on this one ^O^

another theme for @dullahansoft.bsky.social's upcoming NES+VRC6 top-down racing game, this was originally for a more castles/trolls themed place (hence Drunken Trolls) I'm surprised I don't seem to hear more people doing liberal PWM abuse on VRC6

some Sega Genesis stuff for @nosebecc.bsky.social's (NSFW!) game escaping some kinda prison tower area, this one popped off like crazy on Soundcloud out of nowhere holy moly at the time we were still doing the 1 loop no melody + 1 loop melody thing, stick around until 1:09 for the melody!

mock-NES edition (shiru didn't like this song so it didn't end up in the NES game...I can see where he was coming from in retrospect)

mock-NES edition

for this game we were also gonna have an NES OST mode in the options, so I did some authentic remakes of the original tunes PCE does pretty well at emulating the 2A03!

you can make a multiphonic wavetable that sounds like 3 notes, and then you can stack them on 2 channels for some thick sounding chords

more PCE Alter Ego covers for a homebrew port, oh my goodness gracious I need to post again otherwise it'll be a decade before I show this whole thing off stick around for the space flute solo at 1:05! #chiptune #vgm #pcengine

I'm giving away 20 copies of Exo Attack for the Nintendo E-Reader. Repost this post to be entered into the contest.

oops I kinda fell off with my music posting, here's a city theme for @dullahansoft.bsky.social's top-down NES+VRC6 racing game "Cool Sneakers Crew"

there's nothing more 2010-era chiptune than writing a dozen or so Mega Man songs and then decreeing that you're moving on from chiptune because you ran out of things to do with it

contrary to popular belief, I do still famitrack! here's a level theme for a burger joint deep in the primordial forest (it's called Dino-Burger), for an upcoming NES+VRC6 top-down racing game by @dullahansoft.bsky.social

bonus!

once upon a time I was scoring a PC Engine port of Alter Ego which unfortunately seems to have vanished off the face of the earth, it was a neat opportunity to revisit doing some new takes on enhanced versions of the tunes...stick around for 0:49!

This time we got a music post + #rexnobilis update twofer: here's a sneak peek at the 100% homegrown music engine and a WIP of one of the boss tunes for my SNES bullet hell Rex Nobilis! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #snes #スーパーファミコン #スーファミ
