Let's schedule a recurring meetup

I want to try and pick a day and time to collectively get on, so there can be a good amount of people on at once instead of just two or just me. What would be a good day to do this? It's been suggested to do Tilemap Town Tuesdays but I'm open to another day of the week if that would work better.

Re: Maffi Cyberspace game

Thankfully, you don't have to imagine it! It's pretty simple - I just used a maze algorithm from https://museumofzzt.com/article/view/496/a-computer-dungeon-slash-postmortem/ (the simple version, not the version that guarantees a solvable maze) but with a chance of not putting a wall, and I do a flo...

Re: Nintendo e-Reader

Here's the dialog on my other Animal Crossing cards: Cookie: "Omigosh, I just HAVE to tell somebody this story! This is, like, too weird for words! I was just hanging out the other day when I noticed something sneaking up behind me. I spun around and... CHA-CHOMP! I got it! "Mmm-HMMMPH!&qu...

Nintendo e-Reader

I've known about the e-Reader for a long time (and saw it advertised in things like Animal Crossing), and I got Pokémon cards as a kid that had dot codes on the sides but didn't have a way to use them. But I got an e-Reader very recently on a whim, and it's very cool! I got Pinball and Excitebike , ...

Maffi Cyberspace game

Here's my cool side project: I've been working on a maze game for Game Boy Color that stars my mouse fursona Maffi and features her going into randomly generated mazes in a cyberspace world. I have Splatoon-inspired combat where you attack with paint and it marks the ground, with limited but regener...

Bug reports and feature requests

We have the GitHub issues tab for this, but I thought it would be potentially helpful to have a thread for it too. It's ok to repeat suggestions that are already on GitHub because that tells me there's demand for it. I have a feeling one of the really important things to have is a mobile-oriented ve...

Re: SAGE 2024

I remember the year I participated I was going to check out a bunch of games and never did, and then never got around to checking it out subsequent years, oops. It's hard to get around to things!

Thought of the day: If vblank and hblank are so good then why is there no dblank (diagonal blank)

Made up for by how the electron gun would be moving diagonally during hblank and vblank, I guess.

Re: Thought of the Day thread

Just seeing all of the scrapped Pokémon designs would be amazing. For a lot of gen 1 Pokémon that later became Missingnos we only have the back sprites (from leaks) and nothing else, with maybe some blurry glimpses from interviews or whatever here and there.

Re: Definition of Pixel Art

I dunno it's kind of weird to consider this pixel art just because there's no antialiasing? (art by Autumn/luvporbol) But maybe it makes sense to just, specifically say low-resolution pixel art if that's what's being talked about.
