Two Black Cats

Soon! This was one of the last few things we wanted to do! We will be sending the build to steam for approval hopefully next week :)

MD Engine on Steam Unleash your creativity and bring classic 16-bit gaming adventures to life with our intuitive, visual scripting game engine. Create games compatible with Sega Mega Drive 1, 2, Genesis 1-3, and MegaSG ...

Don't forget you can find MD Engine on Steam!

(･ω･)☞ store.steampowered.com/app/3706620/...

We also have a Discord server! (･ω･)☞
discord.gg/wBsmQBhERR

We finished integrating the ROM usage stats!

Now, you can see your assets make the ROM bigger and bigger with each game iteration!

We also have a pixel editor and a map editor.

The idea is that no external tool is needed unless the user wants to use another tool due to being preferred!

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!

We finished script window detach support!

ヽ(・∀・)ﾉ

Now you can take advantage of two monitors to script while checking the scene!!

We finally had time to advance on the design and printing tests for our first release!

The bundle of Square Brothers and Inkventure!

We just need to finish the stickers and such freebies!

We have been working on a surprise feature for #MDEngine for a few weeks now!!!

Hopefully, we will have a short clip very soon!

What could it be....?

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

hahaha yeah it was not our best designed title tbh... it was great to battle test MD Engine though

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

Oh! Very interesting! We're not native English speakers, so this is great feedback haha

I dont recall if this had fullscreen ON/OFF tbh as this was mostly a MD-only game... I think on OPTIONS you can disable the filter though!

Oh it's a great idea! I will do a pass on it after slopes!

Ah yeah, we noticed mostly the problems with not enough tiles. We did a pre-compile time calculation of the maximum amount of different tiles at the same time and used that when initializing the system hehe

Oh Ive been checking it for sure haha, we already implemented a modified version of your streaming map logic haha

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've been working on the Linux native export!

We're almost done integrating everything into MD Engine to allow exporting native Linux versions of the games!

(　･ω･)☞ Tested on Kubuntu & Mint so far!

#megadrive #mdengine #homebrew #indiedev #gamedev #sgdk #pixelart

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 will end up adding Mac support to it, we got a new M-powered machine for it a few days ago >.<!

Yeah haha

We've finally finished supporting Horizontal Blank callbacks!!

Changing the palette mid-frame is now possible!!
