If we were to release a mini prequel to Chords on cart who'd be interested? Because it might already nearly be a thing 😇 and this might be a clip from it #sgdk #megadrive #segagenesis #screenshotsaturday

Something to consider…

Stepping down was hard ( turns out trying to ship game and convention at the same time is a bad idea.) The community is amazing, and the current organisers are all folks who stepped up and continued to grow the event. Join us! You can still buy tickets at: www.tickettailor.com/events/adven....

I can't reiterate this enough right now ❤️

I'd like to go one further. I'm looking for people interested in investing in Super Saiyan Intelligence (SSI).

Not all heroes wear capes. My favourite turns into a truck.

Depression can make any of us feel isolated. But you don’t have to face it alone. If you’re in the UK and need someone to listen, Samaritans are there 24/7: 116 123. One call. No judgement. Just someone there. 💚

Great to have seen The Transformers: The Movie for its 40th anniversary. The short at the end was a fitting tribute to Peter Cullen. I won’t spoil it, as others have here, but do seek it out if you get the chance.

I promised a new BlastEm release on September 11th... and it's still September 11th here in PST... by 16 minutes anyway. Presenting BlastEm 1.0.0 - supporting most of Sega's 16 and 8-bit hardware. It includes some new features and debugging improvements too www.retrodev.com/blastem/anno...

It's Saturday so we know what that means: youtu.be/X9KhBG00l3g #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #retrodev #gamedev

An amazing new Master System indie just dropped! Well worth your $8, go check it out.

🎸 CHORDS! is coming! Join Akio & Scamp in a cyberpunk visual novel packed with puzzles, music, chaos and questionable decisions. 🎮 Wishlist on Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/4909120/Ch… #SegaGenesis #MegaDrive #SGDK #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #retro #game

Based on the attract screen, you won't see the name of this 90s arcade game coming...

Mmm, I'm getting AI vibes from the Ocarina of Time remake, and I'm not 100% sure why. I thought Nintendo wasn't using AI?

For anyone interested in Sega Genesis / Mega Drive FMV, I made these many moons ago. youtu.be/_LyZtSj8v44?... #segagenesis #megadrive

Booked in to see Transformers: The Movie for its 40th anniversary at the cinema in September. Feels like a fitting way to say goodbye to Peter Cullen and celebrate the voice that meant so much to so many of us. 💙🤖 youtu.be/OtgnqWLYqHo?...

Before I forget to post this tomorrow. #ScreenshotSaturday #retrodev #gamedev

Utterly utterly heartbroken. Peter is the one voice actor I'd hoped to meet in person at a con. I missed my opportunity a couple of years back. The guy was the voice of my childhood. Rest in peace fella!

I do a whole bunch of retro stuff, lots of it for free because I'M JUST THAT GREAT: Development Tools, 3D printing stuff, Source codes, electronics: codeberg.org/Jonn-reenthu... Software, games: tonsomo.itch.io Videos: makertube.net/my-library/v... www.youtube.com/@reenthused LOVE ME DAMN YOU

Plenty of games coming out on retro hardware that thrill me, but I hold a special place in my heart for any coming out on the Mega Drive specifically, like Chords! I've had a blast watching the progress of this Snatcher-like ADV game being developed for the MD. The pixel work looks so good!

Meld for the Sega 32X is in beta, and you can help. youtu.be/OpcQZGNYf_c

Do I have moots in games or games journalism who would want to help out with a charity stream and feel like they could "teach" something? Can be things like "how to design a character" or even like "how to speedbuild in Minecraft." The options are endless. Please DM me! Signal boost!

I know this isn’t my usual retro post, but it’s so sad to hear this. Having seen cancer turn my own family’s world upside down in recent years, this hits home. Lucy Davis was such a huge part of the UK’s The Office. My thoughts and very best wishes are with her and her family.

🎂 It’s my birthday! Can we get my upcoming game to 1,000 likes? 💿 Snatcher-inspired adventure 🎵 OST by @superjet-spade.bsky.social 🎨 Pixel art by @108stars-pixelart.bsky.social 🌀 OutRun-level twists ❤️ A Kojima indie love letter 🕹️ At AdventureX this Nov! #SegaGenesis #IndieDev #ScreenshotSaturday

It’s that special day of the year when random companies email me to remind me they still have my personal data.

Very close to having a trailer and steam page... It's all getting very real!

A little bird told me there's a rumour that something is being shown at #AdventureX www.adventurexpo.org/exhibitors

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...
