Jack O’ Lantern is a simple techdemo for NES by RG59. The program shows a pumpkin in random colours and plays music. It might be a bit late for Halloween now and these news should have been published a week ago, but better late than never.
Star Chaser is yet another homebrew by Sik. This Genesis game supports up to four players at the same time, who need to chase an randomly appearing star on the playing field. What sounds simple, can be rather fun and should not be underestimated. Only downside is that the game has no sound at the moment, but this might change if the coder can find a musician.

News update:
Log week # 5
This week, i spent a little bit of time on the game design document. But mostly i am having some physical issues with my upper abdominal area, which is giving me recurring shortness of breath and low blood pressure. No health insurance (America) so, i am going to slow down from time to time, and work on my good days. But, i will indeed continue progress. Although, i am not going to bump the thread for this week.
Any who, see you guys next week hopefully with more progress.
A somewhat crazy but interesting project is the aim to recreate Mega Man 2 for the Sega Master System. Brazil developer gvx32 has put a lot of efforts into this already. All eight levels can be displayed and music is playing. Currently gvx32 works on a meta sprites to sprites function. Adjusting more music to FM. Another update might take a while.
Palettician by RG59 is an app that you can run on emulators and real hardware. You can configure all 25 colors while displaying them in real time. This will be useful for artists and designers.
