GroovyBee is working on a Easter game called “Harry’s Hen House”. There is no release yet, but a few bits from the author.

WIP News:

I had hoped to get it done for Easter weekend but its undergone a bit of a rewrite today. Theres no binary at the moment, but I’ll definately put one up later on. If the level looks familiar its taken from an old A&F game called Chuckie Egg. Its using the Wasp! game engine, so its unlikely to work on real hardware 🙁

Collect the mushrooms and avoid the Wasps!

Release notes:

Some minor fixes. Its my last attempt to get it going on a real machine before I get down and build a dev cart. Reports from CC2 owners much appreciated.

It’s reality again, here comes PDROMS CODING COMPETITION v4.01 – Retro Coding Fun for Console and Handhelds!


Coding on “closed” handhelds or consoles must not be a privilege; dozens of free development kits proof the opposite. The steadily growing “homebrew scene” produces unlicensed software for devices not meant to be open for everyone.

PDRoms has always been in the homebrew scene to support the creation of new homebrew software, support programmers and artists. To show our love to the homebrew scene once again, here comes the ninth PDRoms Coding Competition.
