Volcano Bytes

My new website is finally up! 👾 It’s been a wild ride seeing these pixels go from PICO-8 to physical editions for both 8bit micros (Amstrad, ZX Spectrum) and modern consoles... Feel free to explore and dive in! I’d love to know your thoughts. 🔗 volcanobytes.com #gamedev #pixelart #retrogaming

🔊 SOUND ON 🔊 This is a LONG run in CARNAGE: 3 minutes 20 seconds 🔥💀 Fast, frantic, eyes-bleeding arcade for #pico8 Final week of development, so tell me what you think 👇 Full run: youtu.be/i7eOjvRz9n4 itch: volcanobytes.itch.io/carnage #gamedev #pixelart #arcade #chiptune

Turns out PICO8 only started exporting 64bit Raspberry Pi builds in 0.2.4. Mine was from before that, so Galactic Wars wouldn't run on modern Pis at all... Re-exported: native 64bit now, and universal on Mac. 👇 volcanobytes.com/devlog/galac... #PICO8 #RaspberryPi

1 year ago today, #TrasmozLegends launched on Steam and consoles! 🎉🎂 If you played it but haven’t left a Steam review yet, an honest review would mean the world to this humble dev & help more players discover the game. It’s also on sale on Steam! 👉 shorturl.at/Np7GL

Today marks the 16th anniversary of L'Abbaye des Morts. And we're working on an update! It was a small side project that @gryzor87.bsky.social and I made in the afternoons during a week-long trip to France. We released it in the void, but somehow it became a classic within the homebrew scene.

Upgraded the Famicom corner with a new unit. 100% original internals, re engineered with an FPGA PPU & 3 outputs (RGB, VGA, HDMI). Quality is insane. Replacing my old AV Famicom (RIP PPU). I couldn't afford one when I was a kid, so this was always the unachievable dream... 😍 #RetroGaming #Famicom

New track drops this Friday 👾 Funky, groove-driven chiptune inspired by the 8-bit and 16-bit era. If you liked "Pixel Crush" you’re going to love this. See you Friday! 🙌

We all know the NES is very limited, so you have to do everything very rudimentarily. For example, I had to fake a sine-like wave with a lookup table of X and Y positions to create this effect. #NESdev #NEShomebrew #ファミコン #gamedev

#C64 #Kouyate #RPG progress: not much to see; I'm working on a new dungeon, last one in the desert area. First level is roughed out and working in game, with a few more to do...🙂 Had an issue with my ladder code as return to surface was broken due to some optimising, changing an LDA to an LDY.😖

*** Mega Parodius (MegaDrive) Update *** Dialing up the engine to see what it can handle and we run out of sprites before cpu so thats a good thing as we don't want any slowdown . Not accurate to arcade but might be an insane mode option, lots of logic / animations missing / WIP etc. 1/..

Knight Lore nunca se fue del todo. Estaba ahí, agazapado en la memoria colectiva, como ese cartucho que no tiras “por si acaso”. Y ahora vuelve en forma de remake para #MSX2 con el respeto que merece una leyenda… 👉 pulsayjuega.blog/2013/07/27/k... 🕹️ #retrogaming #videojuegos

"It takes a lot of hard work to make something simple." I've spent the last week optimising enemies to free up more CPU time. It's improved significantly since the demo. This will be a constant cycle of building and optimising right to the end. #mastersystem #homebrew
